    Loved the gig, more focus on the band and the songs. I've heard Acrobat and Horses live. I can die a happy man.
    Looking forward to GA in London where I won't have to worry about standing up!


    Thank god ive just managed to change seats to ga with eventim, I mean fancy standing up at u2 concert who would have thought of that ????

    Because I was in Row A if I did stand every poor bugger behind me would have to stand too. This is just consideration, not a terrible crowd. This idea that people pay for a seat then want to stand is starting to grate with me. Get GA. If you can't...tough.


    Not that easy to get GA though James, I only managed to get mine this morning, tickets were gone on all the presale within Minutes / seconds , only the late drops have created the opportunity, even worse considering supposedly how roomy GA is at the MEN for last nights gig.

    Weird that at some venues the GA is so roomy. I was in Amsterdam and Paris and it was packed full.

    At least you seem to get it James, some people’s lack of consideration is unbelievable. The argument of ‘ I couldn’t get GA’ is not a valid one to stand in the seating section and ruin someone else’s show, if it’s that important to someone to stand go and pay stupid money on viagogo for GA.
  7. Equally people who want to stand up in the seats shouldn't be forced to sit down because other people want to..its a rock show not the opera

    I had to sit through some of a Green Day gig because I'd hurt my knees but I didn't expect anyone else to sit down because I chose to

    The clue is in the title, ‘seating’ tickets, the people sitting aren’t the ones causing the problem the people standing are, it’s just common sense and consideration for others.

    I don't deny it is hard to get GA but that is just unfortunate if you can't get them. Luck of the draw.

    A seat is to sit on, not stand in front of.

    Arenas need a better grasp of their floor space capacity for sure.

  10. Still tickets available @Eventim.co.uk
  11. En route to the box office to pick my ticket up. Not sure if I should join the GA line after or go around the pubs..
