I pass no comment on you trampling old folks while stealing their taxi- that's always a personal decision...
However, on the Handel, you make a good point; S and I saw The Messiah in the cheap seats in the Sheldonian Theatre this time last year and when it came to the traditional All Standing Up bit, we were very grateful. If you find yourself seated on an unpadded piece of timber, it's a long piece.
For that performance, I think we were about the median age (but this is Oxford, where many people age prematurely). The experienced older folk had obviously realised that once you haven't secured a comfy chair, you mightb as well head back to the nearby King's Arms.
