Many times, more than I can remember. Mostly due to the fact that I much prefer standing room concerts over seated ones. In fact, I remember attending my first concert after moving to the US and being shocked at the venue being set up with chairs. Where I'm from (Germany), only classical concerts had chairs all the way up to the stage. The idea of seeing a rock 'n' roll show while being in a chair seemed extremely strange to me, and it still feels awkward, even though I've gotten more used to the idea after living here for 15 years.
Just last week, I was lucky enough to see renowned banjo player Noam Pikelny and fiddler Stuart Duncan perform together at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix. I had bought my ticket early enough to score the seat in the center of the first row, so I was sitting five feet away from the performers. It was a very cool show.
