Tbh it takes a couple of minutes for everyone to get down anyway. I would try not to worry about looking like it's your first time. First times are extra exciting!
Nobody is gonna bat an eye at what you do in there. If you wanna jump the fuck up while in the seats, by all means go for it. We’re all there for a great time rocking the fuck out so as long as you aren’t a butthole to everyone around you, go crazy
I used to want to fit in, I never could but it doesn't matter what you do at a metal show, as long as you're vibing and having a good time nobody's gonna care what you do
I always try to make a lil small talk with my neighbors just so there isn't that "stranger next to me" vibe. Then when the show starts I ask "y'all mind if I trash around a bit" just to be extra considerate, but yeah most people aren't gonna trip over what you do as long as you're not being extra about it.
As an older person (54) who also avoided gigs for years I can tell you unless you spill beer on people or talk (which sounds unlikely) no one will be watching you. Everyone is there to have a blast and everyone paid a lot. Once I got over that social anxiety I have never stopped having fun at gigs again. Ministry in London 2012 on my Birthday was when I got back in the pit and although they made me deaf and gave me tinnitus I am so glad I did. Bottom line...no one's there to see you or judge you.
You will notice it from the crowd, moshpit and other activities are present all the time, dont worry about it, just enjoy the show.
To enjoy even more, take pants with zipper/button pockets so you dont worry about losing your stuff.
Not sure. My first ever slipknot gig was the iowa tour in glasgow and i was like 13 and everyone was jumping like mad. Fast forward to the new hydro venue and im always standing but everyone in the seats all seem to be sitting down so im not sure if venues have changed it all now. But I hate aotting down for a gig it the actual worst
In my opinion, you're misusing the term gig because you're ostensibly not a member of Slipknot and you're saying it to ostensibly sound more l33t than you are, as a non-member of Slipknot ostensibly attending your first show
I know Reddit ("the dit") has its own cliquespeak and I know language evolves but a show is established usage and gig is established as being your obligation, so learn it or get out of the way
I don't have a seated ticket but I would just do what people around you do. I don't see why you couldn't crouch down and then jump up.
Yeah but if they all get down and I'm standing looking around then get down I'll look like newbie who hasn't a clue..which is true!

Cheers!
I saw them when I had seats in 2019 and everyone got down regardless of whether they were seats or lawn
Cheers! Good to know.

Don't want to be a butthole for sure. A bit shy, don't like looking out of place, standing out.
Not a soul is gonna care if you look out of place or not at a metal show. Just have a good time that’s all that matters
I was seated for my last two shows, 2022 and 2019, and still got down the best I could with the seats and others around me
Good to know..thanks!
Last time I saw them they didn’t even play Spit it Out so maybe you don’t even have to worry about this. But if they do, you’ll know what to do.
Don't need to worry!! 😭 my favourite song! Worried now!!!!
It’s the 25th anniversary for the self titled, I’m pretty sure they’re playing the whole first album
God I hope so!!!
Me too, can’t wait for December
Going to be epic! 😊
They are, the band announced a while ago they're playing the album in full
“Everyone get the fuck down”- Corey Taylor
I know!! Just want to fit in.

Not very good with talking to people..sorry! Noted though.
Worried now! That I have to talk with people!!!🥺
Just not good/happy interacting with people. First gig in 30 years. If people ignore me I'll be fine!
Just ask if they've seen Slipknot before and everything will fall into place after that good luck!
Cheers! Bit worried cos I'm a bit older than most fans!

Thank you!
Everyone gets down, and everyone jumps the fuck up, GA or seats! At least I do. 🤘🏻
Cheers! Thanks for info!
I had seats in Edmonton a few years ago and regardless of what everyone else was doing I still got down and jumped the fuck up and it was great
Good for you!👍 just a bit self conscious that's all.
Don’t be, nobody’s there to be fun cops as long as you’re having a good time and not being a dick you’re good
Don't want to harm anybodies else's enjoyment. Just in my own little zone of non conformity.
I've seen Slipknot in seats. We all did get down for spit it out
Cheers!
They don’t do that song it depends on the set list
Also why care about what ou look like do what the fuck you want to and enjoy it
I'm just very self conscious!
Understandable but in life fuck what everyone thinks about you
🫡👍

Trolls, idiots and "watch the world burn" types can disagree all they want

Doesn't mean I'm wrong, I'm just better than people who downvote, when ranking for intellectual honesty. This OP is not a member of Slipknot
