Lose all enthusiasm and interest in said shows.
I may have a higher bar for who I'll go see these days based on the physical demands of standing around for 3-4 hours ... but better that than sitting on my ass like I'm at a supper club waiting on the pot roast to arrive. I can sit on my ass with no energy at home, save both the gas and the cash.

There are a couple of places like that out here in Northern Cali, The Blue Note and Yoshi's. You can eat and watch the show. Depending on the artist, it's a great way to hear them in an intimate setting. The shows my wife and I have been to have been great. We've even been able to get photos with them since they had to walk through the audience to get to their dressing room.
It's not something I would do for every artist, but for some, it's a much better way to enjoy them live over a larger venue.
