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 ?
