Before a concert
Meeting people
People who cut in line -_-
Ettiquette
Holding articles of clothing up and passed around for owners to reclaim
Helping fellow concerts when they fall
Camaraderie among other people who have similar interests
lighters are held in the air to signal an encore or a power ballad
cell phones are used in place of lighters
In general, singing along may not be disapproved
Fans may shout or scream or whistle during songs, but not continuously.
