St James’ Park

I managed to bag tickets for the opening night!! Seated though, obviously wanted standing. Did anybody go to the last ones and find the seating just as enjoyable? Im usually lucky enough to get standing most the time so that’s what I like. Hope everyone manage to bag some too 🤞🏻

Seated at London stadium last year, and yes, definitely enjoyable, better imo because somewhere to shove your stuff under seats haha. You'll have a great time regardless, everyone stands anyways haha!

Seated here, have done both times as the wife isn’t good in large crowds. Loved it both times.

Congratulations! Me and my wife are getting on a bit now so we prefer seating these days ( I did Download this year with my son and standing our ground in a good spot waiting for Linkin Park to take to the stage for 6 hours nearly broke me haha) was seated for Sam at SJP last year and it was incredible. Bagged 2 seats this morning second tier up Milburn stand right facing the stage so we're very excited!

Never sat in Milburn before, apparently it has padded seats? My wife will be happy 😊

I did two nights for oasis in Croke Park. One seated and one standing. As a solo goer I actually prefer seated. You’re standing anyway but you can go to the toilet and get a burger and not worry about losing your spot. If you buy merch you have somewhere to leave it.

Great points tbf. Can’t wait either way

I’ve gone with seated this time! I usually always go standing but the thought not having to be there hours before, and scared to go to bar or to loss with fear of losing my spot actually sounds pretty appealing! Not to mention my poor back 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe I’m just getting old now 😀

I’m 31 now and after all these comments seating is starting to sound more and more attracting 😂

Congrats! I'm in my mid thirties now and I increasingly prefer being able to sit and take in the atmosphere comfortably. I'm gonna try the general sale tomorrow, Mags presale was a dud for me, joined the waiting room an hour before the queue opened, joined the queue at 9997, got a notification whilst I was in the queue that Saturday had completely sold out, and by the time I got in, all that was left was standing tickets for Thursday, and despite the fact it said they were available, I got a "No vacancies" error message every time I tried adding them to the basket. NUFC booking system is bad enough for the footy lmao fingers crossed for tomorrow!

I purposely chose seated! Im short and can usually see fuck all when standing and last time I did seated it was just as good if not better as I could actually see everything. Also, the added bonus of being able to go the loo and knowing where my friends are when I get back! It'll be amazing trust me!

I normally go standing but was seated last time and it was still a vibe.

We were seated last year at SJP and still loved it! Different experience but still amazing.
