FOS - query

These may be dumb questions but I'm confused by the thread about 'FOS' (front of stage??) tickets

My Sheffield tickets are in Block A Row 10, apparently right in front of the stage.
I'm expecting to find seats there.(Though of course I don't intend to sit throught the Stones performance!)

Is block A 'FOS' ??

When I get there will I just find an open space and no seats?

Will these 'FOS' people be standing in front of me??

Please disconfuse me!

juiced up and sloppy

All UK Shows have Seating on the Pitch.

If the rows in front of you want to stand and I expect they will, then yes there will most likely be people standing in Front of you.

FOS stands for FRONT OF STAGE and it refers to the free standing areas in front of the stage to a depth of maybe a third of the field or pitch, but this arrangement does not exist for ANY of the UK shows. Due to health and safety regulations, this arrangement was done away with in the UK some time ago. These days, there are blocks of seats on the field or pitch. You say you are in "Block A Row 10". What NUMBER A block ? You haven't said. Go onto Ticketmaster and look at the Don Valley seating plan, you will see that right in front of the stage going from left to right as you're looking at the stage are blocks A2, A3, A4 - the catwalk - then A4, A5 and A6. Block A1 is actually tiered seating in the stands on the left, A8 on the right. These 2 blocks are not on the pitch, they're tiered seating in the stands.

Does that help ?
