I'm on the old Megabus, but only from Brum, they should put standing in height order so everyone gets a view

Well if you mixed the mens and ladies heights together he would be about 10 rows back as 25% of ladies are under 5ft so he would have all those in front of him

Tickets for all large venue gigs, and even a fair portion of medium venue gigs (Brixton Academy) are released for general sale in batches. The main bulk go onsale on the day tickets officially go on sale, but they always hold back a small percentage which go onsale at later stages, plus there's returns. It's always worth your while to hold back if standing is sold out and regularly check the ticket sites.

I like this plan, I'd get a good spot.
Really tall people love to push in front of me at gigs even though they could easily see over my head.
Luckily, when two guys did that to me at Hard Rock Cafe, a nice woman tapped them on the shoulder and made them let me go back in front of them. She was lovely, she kept making sure I had a good spot.

There was this complete dickhead at the Carlisle gig who tried to pull a girl off the barrier. That made my blood boil! And if I hadn't passed out and ended up a few rows back, I would have saved the day by giving them a piece of my mind! Hate people like that at gigs.

Anyone fancy coming to say hello on Facebook?
I know a lot of FD'ers already, but it would be nice to make a few new friends before London
