Gen Xers have spoken... and apparently, concerts need to change. ππΆ
A concert promoter recently posted a video asking Gen X a very simple question:
βWhatβs it going to take to get you guys going out again?β
Luckily, comedian Dan Regan had some answersβand honestly, Gen X might be onto something. π

Here are the demands:
ποΈ 1. Bring Back Physical Tickets
Gen X wants the ticket stub.
π± Cell phone tickets = anxiety.
What if the barcode doesnβt scan? What if thereβs no cell service? What if your phone dies?
Plus, physical tickets make a much better souvenir. ποΈ
π 2. Throw in Some Reading Glasses and Ibuprofen
Apparently, buying a concert ticket should now come with:
π Complimentary reading glasses
π Ibuprofen
Because youβre not 25 anymore, and somebodyβs going to have a sore back before the encore. π
πͺ 3. MORE CHAIRS
This might be the biggest demand.
Chairs.
Gen X would apparently attend a LOT more concerts if they didnβt have to stand for three straight hours. ππͺ
You want us to rock? Fine.
Just give us somewhere to sit down between songs.
π½ 4. Cleaner Bathrooms
And please...
NO MORE PORT-A-POTTIES.
If youβre charging $100+ for a concert ticket, Gen X would like a bathroom that doesnβt look like it belongs at a construction site. ππ½
π° 5. Fine the Band for Being Late
This one is fantastic.
The suggestion?
Fine the band $1,000 for every minute theyβre late getting on stage. πΈπ€
Because Gen X doesnβt have time for a band to βmake an entrance.β
If the show says 8:00...
START AT 8:00.
Somebodyβs got to be in bed by 10:30. π΄
π 6. Start Concerts at 3 PM
Spring or summer concert?
Start it at 3:00 PM.
End it by 6:00 PM.
That way everyone can:
π Enjoy the showπ Drive home before darkποΈ Get to bed at a reasonable hour
Honestly, this sounds less like a concert and more like a very aggressive early-bird special. π
π΅ 7. LOCK UP THE CELL PHONES
And finally...
TAKE THE PHONES. π΅
Gen X doesnβt want to spend an entire concert staring at 20,000 people holding their phones in the air.
Theyβre there to watch the bandβnot watch somebody record the entire show vertically for Instagram. π
πΈ Gen Xβs Perfect Concert
So apparently, the ideal Gen X concert looks like this:
ποΈ Physical ticketπ Reading glassesπ Ibuprofenπͺ Plenty of chairsπ½ Clean bathroomsπ° Bands that arenβt lateπ Show starts at 3 PMπ΅ No phones
And honestly...
That sounds less like a concert and more like Bingo Night at the retirement community. ππ
But if thatβs what it takes to get Gen X back in the crowd...
LET THEM ROCK. π€πΈ
