Default What is exactly the golden circle?

Hello everybody. Iīm spanish and I īve paid a great amount of money to get golden circle standing tickets for wembley 10th june.

I was in a bon jovi concert once but I had general standing tickets and as Iīm short I couldnīt see anything!!!hehe...so, will golden circle tickets make a difference?=!=!!=!=??!?!if somebody of you has been anytime in any concert with these kind of tickets, I would be so pleased to hear any piece of advice!!!!

Hello

Gold Circle Tickets are fantastic.

Basically You Will be in the enclosure/front pit/directly in front of the stage.

They are very similar to the Fan Club Tickets you used to be able to get. when you queued up to get a wristband and then could come and go as you pleased. the wristband gave you access to the front enclosure.

The advantage is. you can arrive 1minute before they arrive on stage and still be right at the very front. well maybe 10meters away from the front.

I have Gold Circle Tickets. for Southampton and Both Wembley Shows.

I also had the Gold Circle Tickets at Hyde Park before and although they are more money they are definatley worth it.

I have also been a member of the fan club before and again it is basically the same thing.

You did mention that you are quite small. I would recommend you stand at the Back of the Gold Circle (you will still be infront of about 80'000 people) so you have a little bit of room infront of you. you should then easily be able to see the band on the stage. if you at the front of the gold circle you will probably be pushed up against somebody and wont see a thing apart from there shoulders of head!

I hope this makes some sense and is of some help for you.

Rich
I hope this helps.

Golden Circle is the double barricaded area in front of the stage. The barricade is there for security reasons for quite a few years now but now the BJ-management found out that they can make some extra cash with selling special tickets for the Golden Circle. Some bands like the Rolling Stones sold these special tickets earlier already.

Except the gold circle "pit" is about 3 times the size of the old fan club section...

I've also GC for London 10th June.
How many people, do you estimate, to be maximum in a GC?
Once I was first row back the pit area and I Think it could contain about 3000 people.

LONDON 10 th GC
Dublin 20th tribune (my friend wants only numbered seats..)

In 1995 it was a FANCLUB ONLY pit. Now its called a Gold Circle. There is a big difference. The 'Gold Circle' on the last tour, was bigger than the main General Admission area

No. You will enter exatly the same time as everybody else. Everybody else will have access to the General Standing area, where-as you will be in the Double Barricaded area at the front, but entrance time should be the same. BACKSTAGE WITH JON BON JOVI MEMBERS will gain access to the Gold Circle before other other Gold Circle Standing Ticket holders. Usually around 30 minutes earlier.
