Topic: European Dates - Standing or Seats ? Return to archive
November 15th, 2005 05:25 AM
Private Godfrey Does anyone have any idea if the european dates are going to be seated ?- is it a case of arriviving early on the day of the concert and getting a good position ??
November 15th, 2005 05:40 AM
Gazza I would imagine that it there would be standing in most stadiums, like last time. I would hope so, or the ticket prices will be horrendous like the (seated) Licks UK shows were.

I dont think there will be too many arena shows in Europe this time, although it seems there may be a few in the UK (Wembley Arena and NIA Birmingham have been rumoured for late August/early September)

Private Godfrey Were the dates in arenas on the last tour standing on a first come first serve basis ?. i attended a staduim show in Milan and that was superb - bloody hot but worth the wait to get down the front and Rock it up. On the other hand i went to Twickenham, not so thrilling !

Wembley Arena had reserved seats on the floor
Glasgow and Dublin were all standing on the floor. I think Paris was too

I think Manchester was all seated, although I wasnt at it so no doubt Billyboll, Jaggerlips or someone who was there can confirm that

Seats for all concerts on the last tour were reserved as far as I know.

If they can get away with having the venues all-seated, they'll do it because they can charge more for tickets but I would be surprised if there are more than 20% of the shows on this tour taking place indoors

There were meant to be more arena shows (and theatre shows) on the American leg until they got too greedy and priced themselves beyond what many arenas could offer them as a guarantee - which is why they ended up playing more stadiums and abandoning theatres altogether.

I



Manchester was all seated, even around the B-Stage which I thought would be annoying, I was in the Gods almost but still had a great view as I was to the left of the stage and quite close. They should of had a screen though so that people could have seen them a lot better, that's my only criticism of the concert.

UGot2Rollme Manchester Licks show was reserved seating, but chaotic toward end as couple of stage jumpers appeared.

I was scared for them - Keith was playing his Tele !

They were only young kids and looked like they were shitting themselves once they got up there !

I had the greatest b stage experience at Manchester. Keith was "in my face" as they say.

Yes indeed. It was pants, I was about 5-6 seats from the front of the B-Stage, and the seats didn't lend themselves to my enjoyment. People who were sitting down behind us were complaining, thats bollocks, especially when they're playing Brown Sugar! The seats seem to hinder you loosening up....
