If this group is really a force in your life, I urge you to see them at least once from the Pit no matter how you do it. It's like they have dropped an arean stage in, but you are seeing it at an intimate club show.

The pit is a great place to be, because you are close to the band, you can still move around if you like, you have security, there is a limit of how many people they allow in there, and the crazy people who walk in with offensice power (they are everywhere including Hyde Park) are not there to bother you.
May be the pit with this 2014 stage is different from the tongue pit, but the concept is the same.

Well if you have been FOS for hours you may have noticed as show start is getting closer that people walk in and place their body right in front of you, then they start making space for themselves and the soon to come lady and best friend and a cople more, then you find yourself moving back some positions and you have many tall guys at 6 foot 4 i.e. 1 meter 90 cm in front of you. They push you away. Lots of noise and the security guys have spotted it of course. So by the time the Stones hit the stage you find yourself in the middle of a discussion rather than enjoying the show. Might happen at a large field. Less probably in the pit.

bvI can only fully agree with BV. As me and my wife are both not tall we always have the trouble getting good spots if the event is open standing. Sometimes people can be very rude. Anyway in teh US security saw you on your spot when you had the pre entry package and they ensured that you will hold your space until the show starts. I do hope that this will be also in Australia.Quote

I posted THIS on Nov 29 as a note I sent to both Ticketek and Frontier:
.I live in Perth. I purchased, BASED ON THE VENUE MAP STILL ON YOUR WEBSITE, 2 tickets which are in A1, Row A for the Adelaide show. I purchased BECAUSE these are front row seats. I understand from others now posting on fansites that their appear to be BLOCKS of seats in front of A1-A4. THESE blocks eg, SA2-A which I am reading about, are NOT on your venue maps. IS this correct? As I do not think BLOCKS of seats in front of what is clearly front of stage per your venue maps could possibly count as seats being "handed back from promoters as no longer being needed for promotional purposes". WILL I FIND BLOCKS OF PEOPLE SITTING IN FRONT OF ME? WILL I NOT BE AT FRONT OF STAGE AS I PURCHASED? .
Ticketek responded today that I should CALL them
However, Frontier responded today as well, as under:
Thanks for your email – these are DEFINITELY front row seats ! The confusion arises from how Ticketek "build" the seats for other corporate packages – but if you are Row A you are front row. Its going to be awesome!
So - happy days!

This will probably get lost here but has anyone heard anything about Singapore recently? I can't see them biding their time for ten days after China till Perth. Don't see them holidaying or shooting home either.
Let's hope!

I think the announcement of additional concerts will come after the general sale for Australia/New Zealand on Monday.
