As a concert-goer since I was a wee little gal, I usually just go with the flow of what everyone else is doing. At MSG, it's almost an insult to sit for anyone, even if seats are provided.
However, at the Bitter End (the oldest NYC club venue), there are seats which you're supposed to sit in. If I stood up for Sirsy there (even tho their music is the get-up-and-move kind, as you know), I'd be told to sit down.
When I went to see Tori Amos and Sigur Ros, we all sat because the music is appropriate for that. But basically, I think it's just about going with what everyone else is doing, but if you get tired of standing, then you can sit if you want... even if you can't see. At that point, you don't bitch to the people around you who are standing, ya know?
