    I am going to have to just wait it out until General Sale as I want to take my kids with me (same as Hyde Park) so being limited to 2 tickets is pretty frustrating

    Does anyone know if the general sale will have cheaper tickets? I got lucky with 2 standing tickets in the lottery, but feel £160 is insane. Is the whole venue £160 regardless?

    If they're charging £160.00 for the whole venue then I'd expect to see at least the entire top deck empty. You'd have to be insane to pay that and be a gazillion miles away!

    Its important to realise the TC tickets were in reality only £130 ish each - the rest was TM fees.

    I think it was set so that we'd initially only see the full amount, as they've mentioned a few times in the info given about the tour being sold at an all in price point. Think it's our ticketing laws here in Europe that mean we get to see that breakdown.

    Apologies everyone, but I have a quick question. My confirmation email for London says “front standing.”  I had assumed this was just generic GA, but im seeing people talking about different levels.  Is front standing anything I should be excited about, or is it just normal GA and the earlier you get in, the better your odds of being close?  Thanks.

    It's the golden circle bit at the front.

    GA Front = Golden Circle
    Read Standing = GA Standing

    Although....dont think there's much in it looking at the seating plan
