I've got something to Saybia

Last Friday, me and my girlfriend went to a concert by Saybia. We'd been looking forward to it, as we love their music.
We went to Groningen, where the concert would be held, and arrived at the theater pret-ty early. How early? Well so early that the only other people that were there were a handful of die-hard groupies. If you're there at the same time as the hardcore fangroup something is really wrong. We already felt like oldies when we walked in, most of the people we saw weren't older than 17. We decided to have a cup of coffee first, away from the doors towards the theater that was being guarded by the groupies. In our old people corner we enjoyed a nice beverage. Me coffee, my girlfriend tea. I just finished my coffee when I heard doors opening and I could see people walking towards the theater. As we were very anxious to get a good seat (yes seat, old people don't stand in front of the stage anymore, but resort to seats at the back ring of the theater) we decided to go in. When we came to the doors however, it turned out they were still closed. What we heard was a few members of the crew going in before the public could. Disappointed as I was I thought I'd walk past the doors towards the seats further down. I sensed movement to my left and as I turned my head I looked right into the face of Sören Huss, the lead singer of the band. Stunned as I was I walked past them, and turned around to have another look. At that point my girlfriend walked by the band.. I just managed to see Sören's jaw drop, look my girlfriend up and down and follow her with his eyes as she walked by. Now I wasn't sure how to feel. Should I be territorial? Take what's mine? Show that bastard who's in charge ("My woman, you cannot look")? Or should I accept it and feel flattered about it? Thinking about the fact that we still had a whole concert to watch and the first option would probably ruin my chances of enjoying the evening, I decided to choose the latter. After all, how many people can say that their girlfriend was checked out by a rockstar?
