DH and I went to a concert last night. It was 60's bands (the Happy Together Tour) so it was an old crowd. We were in seats 3 and 4 in from the aisle. After the first band had performed a man came in and sat in seat #1. He never looked up, but took out his cell phone and was on it the whole time. He was rocking to the music and head-bopping so I guess he was into it but whatever was on his phone was more important.
After the 2nd band a woman came and sat in seat #2. She, too ,took out her phone and got on it. She never looked up. I glanced over and saw she was just scrolling up and down reading a different screens. During intermission, they spoke with each other so obviously they were together. Once the music started up again they went back to their phones. He continued bopping along, not her.
For the last act (the Turtles), she moved down to the row in front of us where the first 2 seats were open. She then put her phone away and paid attention to the show.
Maybe she only wanted to see that one act? Maybe he didn't want to see any of it but went along to keep her company? The tickets were about $80 each so I was perplexed by the whole thing.
At least I didn't spend too much time wondering about it, because then I, too, would have spent good money on a concert I didn't see. But I did find it so strange.
