Bon Jovi Tours for Dummies
 
Helloley. I'm new to all this... and I'm trying to plan what exactly I'm going to buy on Saturday.

I'm thinking of taking the week off work, and doing Manchester, Coventry, Bristol and London :)

Now, tell me if I've got this right. So firstly we have the Golden Standing, which is closer than GA to the stage. But I've heard fan club members get a section even closer to the stage? Is Golden Standing worth it over GA?

Now as for standing vs. seating. Is the tradeoff basically with standing you have a better atmosphere but with seating you have a better view and more comfort?

In short- help please :D

The fanclub don't get different tickets, they just get admitted earlier generally, seperate queue for them. If you have a general admission ticket and a fanclub membership you could get in and to the front of the general admission section. If you have gold standing and fanclub membership, and you get there early enough, you could probably get literally front-row.

Ah so for fanclub it was basically a priority entrance thing. Could it be possible to join the Fanclub, like, now? Or does it take more time? £25 doesn't look that bad really in comparison to the other costs I'll incur if I get priority entrance to four shows.

Fan club membership only gets you early access to the Gold Circle, does it not?

as a fan of music i would have preffered they let all fan club members go into the very front area regardless and then NOT sell golden tickets to general public

otherwise they should just let whoever wants to queue for longest go right to the front for the same price as all other GA tickets

basically with seats it can feel as you you are not right in there but you get comfort and you can turn up whenever you want

for stadium gigs my chocie is to stand only if i am somewhere near the front otherwise the view is poor.

I'd have presumed it got you early access no matter what ticket you had. I could have sworn when I got in last year there were people already in the general admission section, behind the walkway rather than in front of it.

How are fanclub members identified at the venue?

They queue separately and get numbered depending on when they turn up. This lets people wander off and come back to get let in about 15mins-half an hour before everybody else.

Neil - FC members need a GC ticket. You must have got in after they had started letting the GA in...when I got in the pit at Manchester, there were only FC members in the stadium and yet at Hull, GA already had a few in.

How do they stop any average joe saying they're a fanclub member, is what I'm asking :D
