I don't pay scalpers. But I work hard for the tickets I get. I spend a lot of time on Ticketbastard looking for seats and waiting for drops. Time is money, so... My comment wasn't meant to say that she should have more privilege than the person who paid face value. It was meant to say that anyone with a front row seat, no matter how they came by it, should not have to worry about having someone standing in front of them. Unless they are sitting. That is different. I am of the opinion that you can't expect to stay in your seat and be able to see if you are sitting on the floor.

This is more the point that I was speaking to in my earlier post. I think it's fantastic that the band wants to give their fans the opportunity to stand, and I knew that standing at the stage would be crowded and uncomfortable which I expected and I was fine with that. But I guess I just feel that anyone who has a front row seat no matter what they pay for it, should be able to have an unobstructed view if they choose to go to the stage. My point was not so much about the fact that I paid extra money, it was that for the first time in my life I had front row and figured I wouldn't have to worry about fighting my way for a spot at the stage and people standing in front of me. I was very disappointed that that's pretty much what I had to do and still had a hard time seeing anything because of people from other rows who arrived before I did. I think maybe if they were able to let the front row have first choice at the stage by only letting that row up for the first few songs and then letting the other rows up after that, it would work better.
That said, the times I was able to see, it was an amazing experience to be that close to a band that I love so much.
To the others who were there, was the drunk lady the one that yelled something during one of Lindsey's speeches and he played a few notes on the guitar and then said something about like, "Thank you, now if I can finish what I was saying..." If that's her, I saw her from where I was and I was completely disgusted by her behavior.
