How does the golden circle work?

Correct me if I'm wrong - but at Hyde Park, there were 2 GC : 1 for FC members who had bought GC and then the 2nd for the general public who had bought GC tickets.

As far as I'm aware this year - FC members who have bought FC GC tickets through Backstage will be let in earlier then the general public GC ticket holders.

Also, I know that some FC members who weren't able to get FC GC tickets are hoping that there will be a 2nd queue for FC members who have got GC tickets but were bought through Ticketmaster/SeeTickets.

very doubtfull...

I'm pretty positive their was only one GC at Hyde Park

There was only ONE golden circle at Hyde Park.... on the actual day of the show they decided to have a fan pit only, this wasnt a "golden circle" it did have fanclub members with and without gold circle tickets in.

So ... there were three seperate standing areas at Hyde Park? I swear I was in the frontmost pit, and I certainly wasn't fan club

There was a fanclub pit at Hyde Park, it was very small, maybe 1000 people or less. That was the only show on the Bounce tour that had the extra FC pit.
