Conflict between two self-centred motivations is guaranteed in some situations. Nothing wrong with the motivations, though I agree the subsequent behaviour can be problematic.

So, you're saying that people aren't responsible if their behaviour is not suitable to a venue?
Let's not go either/or on this one too. Environments affect the choices people can and do make. That approach underpins crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) and its injury prevention sister, IPTED.
That doesn't relieve people of responsiblity for their behaviour but it is entirely predictable that friction will arise in the situation described above. It's a gig. People have been known to dance at them. That will piss off people seated behind and around them.
Blame the munterish promoters. I have very little tolerance for such preventable stupidity, especially when ticket prices suggest you're buying a professional service not an amateur hoedown in a woolshed (not that there's anything wrong with those). It's one reason I haven't been back to the Big Day Out for a long time - inconsiderate organisers.

Mark, if venues are set up with both dancing and seated areas, no problem. Without, friction. Bugger all that individual punters can do about that on the night - the decision is up to those who run the event and design the venue.

Roger, there's only no "and" because the concert promoters, venue designers, etc have made it that way. Things will change, whether they like it or not.

The problem, Mark, is people going "either/or" instead of "and". That simple, really.

Vodka is an uncannily good cure..
