Oh dear...
Guess that you sold them to us then?

Think that you have to state that the tickets said 'RESTRICTED VIEW' on them in the advert.
To be honest, I resold them and plaigarised the original ad.

But you're right.

I'm glad I only broke even, I would feel terrible now if I'd made a profit on them.

Really? I was there, too, and although I enjoyed it, it was more like a normal gig by any old band. This was a proper PSB show. :)

Boooo :(
I suppose you didn't put restricted view in the ad because you wanted the £80 which you paid for them back and saying that the tickets were possibly awful would reduce the value somewhat... guess I don't blame you, but still, right infront of my seat was the huge post with the letter N on it :( -sob-
Still, concert was amaze. No glorified tent peg was going to get in the way of my enjoyment!
Haha.
So I guess i'll just say this:
Don't do it again! -waggles finger-

:P

I said "no"

He was not too impressed.

Then 10 minutes later "I asked you nicely - are you going to sit down"

"NO"

then his girlfriend tried kicking the back seat into my leg.
so when i trapped her foot when i turned round ... it nearly kicked off.
thats not what you need at any concert .... he could have been a nutter and wacked me from behind. they never stopped arguing all show (with each other)

so if you are reading this Block N Row BB seat 35 and Row BB seat 36 - up yours

To be fair, the second the PSBs came on, you and your mates stood up, obscuring the view of those behind you, including myself and I was on the seperate block to your left. The girl you speak about couldnt see past you even when she stood up. It is a little unfair when you've purchased expensive tickets to sit in the front few rows to get a great view and somebody on the very front row stands up when they could sit and get a great view. Very selfish of you if you ask me, but then again the venue should enforce sitting or not have seats at the front.

Don't think I have ever sat down at a PSB concert whether i'm at the front, back or inbetween! At the end of the day that's the one thing i look forward to when watching them, boogeying my arse off!

Agreed, in which case there should be no seating at the front of the stage. What I'm saying is that it is somewhat unfair for those that have paid good money to sit at the front and then have to stand to watch the show. I myself have a knee injury and am unable to stand for long periods therefore missed some of the show when i had to sit down because i couldnt see for these guys stood on the front row.

So simple answer is, no seating directly at the front

Agreed. I was forced by my girlfriend to sit down in 'Home and dry' and 'Numb'. As I was at the front of the rear block of N, I had an ok view when sitting. When I was standing though Bex could stand in front of me and be able to see round the post! :D

Did anyone see me by the way. Resembling a clown in blue converse, cream cut-offs and a pink t-shirt (before getting to the merchandise)?

And did anyone else wearing a 'PET SHOP BOYS' t-shirt get asked by the stewards 'who's on tonight mate?' Got me twice!! How good am I?! :lol:

You were also being followed by a dodgy looking character in a black pleated skirt and a white cap :P

I had a steward directing traffic at RHCP say to me 'AH thanks! You've got me singing It's A Sin all night now!' cause of my t-shirt 8)
