Was the atmosphere still fantastic even if you weren't front and centre?

I know it is a huge stage setup and they have the big screens, and we are on the lowest level but toward the back of the stadium.

Just curious on everyones experiences.
Did I regret spending more? No. I would never go into 3 figures for a ticket, £85 was about the limit, especially if I am going with someone else- its hard to ask someone to stump up the best part of a ton to go and see my favourtie band.

I was fortunate enough to be upgraded to floor seats on one night and had an amazing time, but for most of the others I was in the gods and for the most part had a great time. The views were still mostly good, especially the side on ones, and I had a great time with the different people I went with. Id personally rather spend £300 going to 7/8 concerts in the upper tier than 1 at the front. Ive been down the front, its great, but its all about the music and its all about just being there for me. For others, its the experience of being at the front, and it is a great one that I would love to do again, but I cant be financially irresponsible in these current times.
