Mad4 - Security tends to over-state things.

If he said 10k, then it will be about 6. Either way, it's too many, why did i bother getting Gold Tix if i'm going to be waaaaaaaaaay back???!!?

I feel nicely conned........thanks BJ.

Derek, maybe i didn't make myself clear.

I paid extra for Gold Tix, to be in the pen.

Normally the pen would hold about 3-5,000 people, no more.

If it's true that it's going to be 10,000, then yes, i do feel conned - why pay extra to be half way back in the crowd?.

Milton Keynes gig - i turned up at 9am with general admission Tix. Was about 20 metres from the back of the pen. Not bad i thought. If i'm going to be further back than that with GOLD tix, then do you see my point?

I've always been under the assumption that if you wanted to pay more for your tickets then you should be rewarded. Being half way back in the crowd when i've paid more cash doesn't make sense.

I'm interested in your thoughts..........

10,000 in a way isn't a lot to expect considering it's been said (maybe incorrectly) that there will be 120,000 people there.

security aren't overestimating 10,000 - they know what they are doing and have no need to exaggerate the numbers since they are the ones that have to deal with the situation and check everything runs properly.

now important part:

is it just me or have they ****ed up the colour chart (blue colours) for backstage, stage etc?

and what is the golden circle enclosure as opposed to golden circle

prob a simple question but right now i'm confused

Sorry guys - The head of security did tell us in Wolves that it would be 10,000 as we were all sitting there in the stand.

The pit will be slightly larger though, so it won't be cramped at the back - there will be plenty of space.

& they r trying to arrange 2 separate pits apparently, but don't think that'll happen.

2 pits?

i think one for gold and fan club? which means a better chance to be at near the front?

Bloody hell, you'd think that we had to pay double the price for a GS ticket... its ten sodding extra quid! And anyway, this aint the Milton Keynes gig is it...... You may be back a long way, but GA tickets would have put you back even further

Keep On Rockin'
