I agree with everything you had to say. I was considering going to Hyde Park show for the same reasons, I thought 'hey, it's a festival, right? so now shitty circles this time, I'm gonna be close to the stage, wohoo!'. But no.

I do think that it makes sense to have some kind of a 'colorful circle' inside the catwalk, because that seems like a special area to be at, I don't think anyone would have a problem with that. But then, in front of the catwalk it should be a standing GA, nothing else. Not some stupid fan-GC, normal GC, GA, etc.
