Default Seated or GA Standing

I've got 4 tickets for the Southampton show that are seated, Block 9 which i think will be just to Richies right.
But today I won 2 tickets through the local Radio which are General Admission standing that I need to pick up on the day. I have 2 more people that want to come with us so none of the tickets are spare but I'd like to know what you people think is the best tickets for me to use personally.
Last time I was Gold Circle which was amazing but we managed to get to the stadium about 2pm to cue up for gates opening at 4pm. This time we wont be able to get there till the gates are actually opening. I dont wanna be right at the back on the floor cause thats crap, right?
I'd like to think GA Standing would be best but I dont know what its like in the seats.
Any opinions welcome

GA doesn't fill up nearly as fast as GC. I would imagine that if you got there for gates opening at a place like the Southampton gig, you'd still pretty pretty close to the barrier.

hmmm it's a hard one, but personally if it was me I'd stick with the seats, at least you know you're guaranteed to see. Imagine your disappointment if you got there and GA was half full. I think GA is too risky.

Then again, I'm not gonna be getting to the stadium until about 1ish. Hmm?

It depends what you want from the concert. If it's atmosphere then GA, if it's a good view then seats.

I was gutted a few years back at Old Trafford, Manchester as Ticketmaster messed up and said they had accidently sold too many GA tickets so we had to accept seating ones as a compromise. The seats were very close but it was the worst feeling I've had at a Bon Jovi concert as not everyone around you stands up and I just kept looking at the standing thinking gorrrrrd I wish I was down there!!!

Go with GA. A BJ concert on the tribune? Impossible for me. A friend was on the tribune in Leipzig and also said afterwards "never again".
