Swaying can happen anywhere but the closer you are to the front the more tighter the crowd and more likely to happen. and of course getting clattered in to from behind, especially if you are on the barrier. Being taller than you, i get it lots, and always get the drunk asshole banging in to me and screaming in your ear. It can really get distracting to the point of you are more thinking of whats going on around and behind you than whats in front of you. If i am honest this is what i am dreading the most about a 'greatest hits' tour as its always the fan favourites like Munich and AEHAS and Smokers that things tend to kick off but with a whole set of them.. the dark days of the AEHAS tour flash through my mind when I used to utterly dread certain tunes and just focus on having a firm grip in the barrier. Its is less now but i still dread certain tunes starting up and there hasnt been a tour yet that has proved me wrong. I would love for this tour to be the last one were certain songs are played every night but i know that is never going happen.

So, are you complaining that some songs are too popular and that the crowd is too excited during these songs? Isn't that what makes a concert fun? If you get annoyed by people around you being excited, why not just listen to the music at home?

Being excited is totally fine and makes for a great atmosphere and feeds both band and crowd but there is also ruining someone elses enjoyment by being a twat

How's pricing looking on UK dates? I've booked tickets for London, Glasgow and Birmingham (all standing). Glasgow was £36 and Birmingham was £38. Birmingham may be slightly cheaper to get through Ticket Factory on Friday but not a great deal. London was £48 which seems massively steep to me.

We all have fun but as always it’s the odd one now and again. 👍🏼

I think tickets are steep and also not many were available it would seem on presale. I was in meetings and got out at 9:30 and only seating left at Manchester!

It's all the add-ons like booking fees, postage etc which are really increasing the price. I think the actual ticket price itself was only about £35 for Wembley. I find Ticketmaster terrible for extra charges. I'm sure you won't have any problem getting standing tickets for Manchester on Friday. I seem to remember the last date they did there in 2018 didn't sell particularly quickly though I suppose this is their only northern England date.

I booked standing for brum this morning and they were £27.50 for the actual ticket minus the fees etc. How come you ended up paying more?

Birmingham was £27.50, Glasgow £29.50 and Wembley £35. I know London gigs are always slightly more expensive but that is a big difference compared to the Brum one.

very intrigued by the varying prices for Birmingham - unless there's typos in any of the above?
So far we have ...
£27.50 +/- fees
£34.50 including fees?
£38 including fees?
All for standing as far as I can see. I'd hate to think that the prices fluctuate based on demand like flight tickets / hotels. surely that wouldn't happen...
