Which r best choice tickets please @ aftershow > Standing or seated Balcony ? As both advertised priced @ £25

Depends what you mean by best.

If you want to be standing up, on the dance floor and near the action, then the standing tickets are best. If you want a more civilised time, sitting down upstairs, then the seated ones are best.

Not sure how much that helps but there's no obvious answer. For me, it's standing all the way but then after being on my feet for the main show, standing in the queue and then standing for an hour+ waiting for the aftershow to start, a seat suddenly seems like it would have been a great idea.

Cheers Thanks 4 taking time answering my question . Thinkin now maybe standing tix would b best cus if i do go i will b on me own (aawww another 1nite aloner) as i cant take my 2 sons with me after the main gig & they r insisting i experience an aftershow.

Hey, if you are going solo, get a ticket downstairs. When we were there on Friday night, we could see upstairs to the balcony and although they had seats and a fabulous view, there wasnt much of an atmosphere going on up there - in my opinion. I like the feel of the crowd and as others have said, you get a great view no matter where you are downstairs, plus you can have a little drink and boogie while you wait for the band to start.

Last night we just joined the back of the queue just past 11:30 when they started letting people in. We were in there in no time at all and had plenty of space to move around and chose a position to stay in for the show. Unless you want to rush to the very front of the stage, there's no point in standing around in that line for a long time when no-one has been allowed in yet.

Kool thanks 4 that

Is there anywhere to dance in the balcony (£25 seats)? What is the seating like? Not cinema style surely?

Pajoe said:

You might want to check this out before hand but I'm pretty sure its over 18's only in the Indigo for the Aftershow....so unless you little 'un looks very convincing in a fake beard.....

When I went passed there were 2 queues...thast what confused me.

One was queueing in the direction everybody was leaving the arena in and the other was queueing back the other way at a different door

Pajoe said:

Been twice already and going again to the final concert and aftershow...but even so its so tempting to grab a ticket to another show. My bank balance is not looking too rosy though, so perhaps not!

Does anyone know the difference between the £25 and £75 BALCONY priced aftershow tickets?

Tickmaster says 'unreserved' balcony access for £25 - does that mean you can go anywhere up there, on a first-come first-served basis?

Just thinking I'll need my legs for the drive all the way back to Basingstoke in the early hours!

Pajoe said:

Have done both and gotta say I preferred the balcony- simply because I'm short & don't like being dribbled on by drunks. The atmosphere was superb up there on Saturday! It's unreserved seating but I will say if you're on the front row the security come round & give stern warnings about not standing up during show (!), they make a few lame attempts to get people sitting but give up after a few songs. I had an unobstructed, amazing view, danced like a lunatic. Would've paid quadruple for ticket.
