Default Wembley - standing at front?
Hi - i've read about a LOT of gigs on this tour where people have just gone and stood at the front, rather than in their seat.
How easy is it to do? Does it not get in other people's way?
I'm desperate to get a bit closer to the action, but don't want to risk the wrath of security or spoil others enjoyment / view.
How has it been for you guys getting to the front?

Damn these seated gigs !

Pretty much everyone stood when they toured here the last time. ONly one incident at Earls Court where a couple right in front of Stevie refused to stand and kicked off if anyone ventured in front of them. They even went to complain but were told the band wanted people to stand. We were front row so took our spots pretty much as soon as we got there

You beat me to it. I was wondering the very same thing. I have third row seats at Sheffield but am considering, if possible, just standing stage front before the show starts. Is this the done thing?

It depends on whether the venue say you can stand (which I'm sure they will). However I know I would be pissed off to find people standing in front of my front row seat before I have a chance to get up there!

I totally agree with that and really have reservations about doing it. Was just wondering what is the norm. I wouldn't want to tread on anyone's toes -literally.

Last time I saw them people along the front row were stood there pretty much as soon as they arrived. It did fill up pretty quickly though. Just play it by ear. It's actually better in a way not to be stood right at the edge of the stage as you spend most of your time looking up heir noses!!

Do you know if they have a big barricade set back from the stage? That would suck in the most exquisite way!
