I went to a concert last week and the only option was general admission. I typically avoid general admission because I hate general admission because I'm short, and this concert reminded me why I will never buy general admission tickets again. Here are four reasons why short people hate general admission concerts.

1. There is no such thing as personal space

It's like this for every person at a general admission show. It doesn't matter how short or tall you are, general admission shows offer little space because everyone wants to get as close to the stage and performer as possible. Besides that, some people don't understand the meaning of personal space so they're right on top of you without even realizing it. At a general admission show, the germs and sweat is all too real.

2. You can't see anything

See the girl jumping up and down throughout the entire concert? That's probably me. I've never had an issue with being short, but there's nothing worse than having an entire group of frat bros stand in front of you during a concert, or a girl wearing five-inch stilettos. Sometimes I wish general admission shows went by height—short people in the front, tall people in the back. Other times, I wish people were courteous enough to realize a short person is standing behind them.

3. You have to move multiple times throughout the show

As soon as you find the perfect place to stand, the one where you can peer between two people and see the musician spot on, someone decides they want to get that same view and they stand right in front of you. So you move until you find another spot. "Ahh," you're thinking, until another tall person stands in front of you. It's a constant cycle that never ends. It can be difficult to enjoy a concert when you're constantly moving so you can actually see. Sometimes you just give up and enjoy the music and forget the performance because it's impossible to see.

4. General admission concerts make you appreciate concerts that aren't general admission

Sure, general admission shows can offer a great, close view of the performer, but it's only great if you can see. I prefer attending concerts that offer options other than general admission. You don't have to get to the concert early because you have a seat that is guaranteed, you don't have to worry about anyone pushing and shoving to get closer to the stage, you don't have to worry about your personal space being violated, you won't have to move during the show because you'll have a nice window view in front of you and you can sit during a song or two if you want to take a break.

For all the short people, I think we can all agree that general admission sucks.
