The Worst.
The Diamond Pit area was quite large, certainly bigger than the pit concept we've been used to from No Filter tours. Not so exclusive, in other words. At Hyde Park 2 I arrived about 18:00 and found a good spot not too far from the catwalk and stage. At this point, many people were relaxing in comfortable chairs, drinking champagne in the VIP Summer Garden or whatever it's called. Around 19:30 it started to get packed. A couple of ladies complained I was too tall. What do they want me to do? Minimize myself? My height is not my fault. A group in front of me told everyone they had been there since 1PM and thus expected to get their place back if they went to the toilet or whatever, but that can be a bit difficult when you're 15 metres from stage and it's just 30 minutes before showtime. They were bit angry towards a spanish speaking guy who "stole" their personal space that they had been reserving since 1PM.

This is the problem with the Diamond Pit VIP concept. The promoters present it as something luxurious and relaxing. This attract a lot of people who don't normally attend concerts and they expect space and comfort close to stage, and get annoyed when they experience a tight, packed crowd.
