No im not sure there is one. I get what you’re saying, but my intention was not to say it’s a mispost, just that it is actually fucking infuriating.

Ask them politely to lower it. If they don’t, you have two options:

A. Leave your seat to go find a security guard, missing part of the show in the process and potentially having this person fuck with you for the rest of the show in retaliation.

B. Rip that shit straight out of their hands and toss it to the lower arena. They’ll have no idea who did it because their view was blocked by their umbrella. Don’t have to miss a second of the show.

The poor sobs who got their head smacked with a thrown umbrella wouldn’t know who did it either.

You throw it while open for a comfortable landing. Mary Poppins style.

I usually just articulate to them exactly the messed up the thing is that they are doing in a way that they have to aknowlage it. Then they have a choice, they can either say oh, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to do that and fix it. 99% of people don’t like having to aknowlage they are an asshole. They would rather you think they are stupid, not an asshole. OR, they say suck my balls and do it anyway. At that point all options are on the table.

Yeah, I’d rather stay home and watch someone else’s video if my only option is nosebleed seats.

Just be aware that mobile and human sight is kinda different, maybe OP can appreciate the concert more from his own eyes than what we are seeing currently… Also there is the music/sound factor of course.

You may already know this, but this depends on the focal length of the lens. For example, a 50mm focal length on a 35mm camera will represent objects in the background fairly accurately. Larger focal lengths have background compression, making their background look closer than it actually is. Focal lengths below 50mm will have the opposite effect, making backgrounds appear further away.

Some phones with multiple cameras have a 50mm (or similar) effective focal length lens as one of the options. Basically without knowing the focal length of the lens it’s hard to say how accurately the distance of the background is portrayed.

Like you’d see the show anyway. Concerts that big should be like 20 bucks tops. No intimacy, can’t see the performance, dealing with the crowd and traffic. Fuck all that
