Front row seats at the end of year school concert are over rated
- You get a crick in your neck from trying to see what’s happening on the stage
- You have nowhere to hide your feet
- If you cry with pride there is nowhere to hide your tears and you can’t pretend that it’s the person in front of you
- You can’t lean on the chair in front of you if the performance is so hysterically good that you actually cannot sit straight
- If you need to leave in a hurry to go and alert the media that your son is a genius you have a longer way to walk
- If you laugh too hard you put off the performers on the stage
- There is a chance that someone on the stage will sneeze and if you are in the front you will be unprotected
- You are very conspicuous with your camera in the front. Also the flash may cause damage to sensitive retinas on the stage
- If is a service to the performers on the stage because if they need to smile at you (which they do) looking down at the front row makes it seem as if they are looking down. If you are in, say Row F, they can smile at you and make it look like they are smiling at the audience in general – better performance all round
- The front row is often reserved for special guests who get very grumpy if you point out your son in every scene while squeezing their hands to tell them how proud you are

Okay. You may have seen through me but this is what I am telling my son because the front row seats I booked didn’t actually go through – my computer froze at the important paying part. Which school uses an online booking system that can’t cope with the volume of traffic that allows every parent to book at the same time anyway*
No amount of tears and screenshots of said booking would suffice because some other mother who doesn’t mind getting sneezed on got my tickets. But I am lucky because apparently Row F has the best seats in town. And I believe that because my son’s parents will be sitting in them.
*That is not a trick question. The answer is Little Pencil’s school
I’m heading off to 2 of my children’s concert shortly!! So much fun!
Hi Lana,
I sometimes comment on Mamamia as Blossom and I won the bottle of Baileys a few months ago. I just wanted to leave a message and tell you how much I enjoy your stories. I spend so much time gushing about my small children to anyone who will listen and I take any opportunity to snuggle into bed with them and just hold onto them all the time! I love reading about how you feel the same with your boy – it’s so overwhelming sometimes isn’t it? Thanks for your writing, I look forward to it!
You were very lucky to get Row F. Getting decent tickets to a school concert is a difficult feat. I have never managed to be anywhere closer than up the back of the hall where the air conditioning is failing. Even when my son had the lead role as The Pirate King in Pirates of Penzance I was given no special treatment and had to contend myself with Row N. How parents manage to secure seats in Rows A to E is a complete mystery.
Great logic! You’re totally in the spirit of rhetoric. 🙂 Nice to meet you, by the way. I’ll be stopping by again sometime.
