I was just looking at the remaining seats available on Ticketmaster. Look at that hard nut on the back row. They could have chosen better seats but they decided to pick that one. The king of the world. That's exactly what I wanted to do before hearing about the whole vertigo-inducing height of that block. I'm well jelly. Search that dude for a sniper rifle!

I bought seated tickets as I couldn't find the standing ones, and in addition my girlfriend (who's coming with me) doesn't know the Manics, so it would be hard to ask her to stay standing for four years. But do you think that the seated people will stand up? I can't imagine a Manics gig with all the people seated!
I've been to loads of Manic gigs in the seats and you are not allowed to stand up, its health and safety rules, anyone stands up and you are asked to sit down by an official. Some people can't stand up for mobility reasons so you have to respect their wishes and not stand up in front of them.

This is fair.

The trick is to be in the top top row where there's about 5 people in the entire block so you can invent dances to MATC and ME without being observed. In my experience.

if you're in the upper tier i really don't recommend standing by your seat anyway, the gap between your seat and the seat in front which is slightly below is tiny and i thought i was going to fall to my death when i stood up there but maybe that's just me

Please, invent dance moves to ME in your bedroom and film yourself while doing it.

It needs 3 people, it involves passing invisible boxes along and all sorts.

SO NO, I WILL NOT VIDEO MYSELF FOR YOU

Well, I suppose that during A Design For Life (that will likely be the last one) everyone is going to stand up!

I'm in the lower tier, I found two seats just before they've all gone sold out.

I'm exactly in front of the stage, so at the opposite side of the arena. I know it's far, but i hope that the maxiscreens will show images from the stage, and I also hope that even being seated I'll be able to feel the vibe of the best concert of my life
