it depends on what aspect tbh! depending on the concert (the budget i mean) organization, venue, fans, are all different. i reckon an important thing to mention is that concerts in la are very different from other states as well? i feel like in LA the fans tend to be a bit more relaxed; whether thats due to being spoiled n having faith the band will come back or what, i can't really be sure lmao. but yes! us concerts tend to be more deafening than japan's. i've only attended one concert in kr (dream concert 2013!) and for the most part the cheering happened as fanchants more than like the endless screaming at us concerts. i was fortunate enough to attend some concerts in the philippines (got7 fm 2015, wings mnl 2017) and i have to say the screaming is about the same, but i feel less ready to fight in the philippines than i do at home lmao.
BUT! to be specific abt jpn, yes everyone is seated and yes ppl only yell during the specified parts of each fanchant and during the parts where the members pause before they take their turn to say their part lmao. its a very relaxed and musical show but having grown up in the states i kind of like the feeling of getting lifted figuratively n literally at concerts lol. this is smth i realized gettin thrown around in the pit last week lmao.
the other interesting part abt jpn concerts is that tickets are by lottery! so u have to join the fc to join the lottery ofc, and u apply once at whatever location u want per lottery period. sometimes ur restricted to only a few shows per tour (like wings jpn! only two shows per fc member number ((which means i could still potentially scalp off sum1))). a few days after the lottery period is over, ur notified abt whether or not u won and ur payment is then accepted directly online or paid for in cash at a convenience store of ur choice. u don't find out where ur sitting until a week or two before the actual performance tho lmao meaning!!! yes, every single ticket costs the same, and yes, u have absolutely no control over where ur seats will b UNLESS u've scalped ur ticket for usually anywhere from 5 to 10 times the original price if it's after seating was announced (ex. epilogue '16: og price for all tickets $95.... paid $450 for floor seating. fanmeet: orig $85, purchased scalped tix before seating was announced for $120) i feel like that aspect has fans feelin a lot calmer cuz if u paid like $300 to be in pit by god ur gonna wanna make it worth ur time right!!
