i think Drbryant didn't literally mean "seat" - i think he wants to hear how to get a better position than the people who are kindly advising him. :E
the thing is: it's not a time thing. the etiquette in European FOS situations is (of course!) to let people the band will enjoy looking at up close -
that's a big part of what fans can contribute to creating the conditions for a really hot show.
those folks do their part by shakin their tailfeathers real pretty, not drooling and not scaring the band
by holding up signs that say "i've got it in for you" as if that meant something good. :E
"What do you want - what?!"
