Not just at the concert, but around the arena, everybody was just very stand offish, and perhaps maybe Yokohama people are a bit different from those in Tokyo, but it was really offputting how unfriendly some seemed to be, even though we were all about to see an Ayu concert!
Perhaps someone can shed some perspective?

Yes the concert etiquette is due to the culture like SunshineSlayer explained. In my experiences, the Japanese ayu fans come off more stand offish compared to fans of other artists I've seen. I say this just from what I've observed, though!
Don't let them make you feel too bad- I've seen Japanese fans around me take short videos on few occasions, and this was even before photos were allowed! But obviously if you aren't Japanese they will hold you to a different standard.
