How do i persude my friends to go to a standing concert?

Balcony seating? NO! If you wanna get up close and personal with the band, you gotta be up front. And, as close to the stage as possible! You're not really experiencing the concert unless you're up there with the real music fans. One time I met some people in line waiting to get in to see Five For Fighting...my fave artist...for the first time. When we got inside the club, they were looking for seats but I persuaded them to stand up front. They were concerned about their feet hurting, but guess what...they didn't even think about that once the show started. And, they had a GREAT time being up front and yes, STANDING! I think they learned something that night. Hope you can talk your friends into standing, but if not, have fun up front with your best friend! (:
