Mom needs a huge course in social and parenting skills. The first sign that my son is sick, I’m doing civilization a favor and will quarantine him at home until I know it is ok to expose him to others.

“””Mom needs a huge course in social and parenting skills.”””

He’s 26 years old.

You’ll quarantine your son when he’s drunk? This 26-year-old “kid” clearly couldn’t hold his liquor and his mother is an enabler.

The first sign that my son is sick,

I'm guessing the first sign came after the 12th beer.

A smart concert organizer would have empowered the ushers to say, we're sorry you're sick, we'll give each member of your party a (souvenir cap, coupon worth 50% off the next event here, T-shirt, etc.) at the exit gate if you leave now.

Yeah, it sounds like rewarding bad behavior, but it ends up disturbing the other concertgoers a lot less and, in the long run, costing the concert organizers a lot less.

In a previous life, I worked such events of this nature. It was amazing how quickly you could keep trouble like this from escalating with a small bribe. It was also amazing how quickly tiny problems could escalate once security, police and lawyers got involved.

Definitely. At our venue (and I bet all), you puke on the floor, you’re out of the concert.

The “son” was 26 years old. Old enough to take care of his own vomit.
