Waaaaaaah, reading all of that makes me scared now! I had a seated ticket for Birmingham, and now a standing one for Vienna, was all hyped about maybe being in the front row or at least very close to the stage, but now I think I'll rather stand in the back & on the side... I don't want to get hurt.
I'll be there on my own, so no one to make sure I won't get trampled. And I spent so much money on that standing ticket. Meh.
