Over this weekend, at both the Springsteen and Foreigner shows, it was amazing how many people left either before or during the encores.
At Foreigner, for example, the four people to our left and the four to our right all left early, giving us the freedom of our bit of the 13th row. Now, before you say it was a bunch of old people staying up past their bedtime, it was actually the complete opposite - it was a group of four young girls and two young couples. And, to compound things, the two couples arrived late and missed the opening act.
It’s not like anyone had work to go to. Springsteen was Friday night and Foreigner was the Sunday evening before Labor Day.
While I never do it, at least at the football you can make the excuse that we were getting beaten. But leaving either before or during what is usually the best bit of the show? How does that make any sense? Why would you fork out the kind of money it takes to get good seats, if it’s more important for you to beat the traffic to get home? I don’t get it.
