With respect to those who pay for Platinum seats, it is reasonable to expect to stand and is--in my opinion, it is not practical to expect fans that close to the stage at a rock concert to be seated and remain so. For those who have special needs (such as my fiance--who has some mobility issues), arrangements can be made in advance to accommodate. (Laura MacFan had a wonderful time at her first FM show!)

For the more genteel crowd--who were willing to spend the additional funds to see the show--those who want a more controlled, comfortable experience should consider a suite.

Again, I am sharing my experience and opinion only, and no disrespect is intended.

As a platinum ticket buyer, I agree that one cannot expect to see the show if seated, nor to sit the entire show. I certainly don't sit an entire show- just during one or two songs that I may not like as much as others.However if a ticket is bought for the 8th row, then there should be 7 rows of people ahead of me. If people rush up to the stage and 3-4 more rows of people are in front of me, I did not, in effect, get the row I paid for. I cannot understand why this is hard for people to understand. And, I am not one of the more genteel members of the crowd who wants to sit in a suite- just want the rights and privileges that come along with the ticket I purchased. The band needs to do a better job of letting ticket buyers knowing their practice. As an experienced concert goer for many years I too, am sharing my opinion and by no means any disrespect to anyone on the board
