As an european fan, maybe it's because of that, i disagree BUT i
don't want to flame him ! I've always had the choice between seats and floor
(shows here almost always are general admission) and i've always chosen
floor. This place is so special for die-hard fans like me. Because of that,
we have to wait very very long times before coming into the stadium/arena
but i always appreciated these waiting hours. There are only die-hard fans
there and we can chat with everybody, even if we don't know them. There is
the same atmosphere than at a football game (like tonight !). The crowd
always is nice, warm, friendly...And during the shows there is a sort of
communion and we also feel more connected to the band than sitting people
who are farther from the stage than us. BTW, i think it's just a question of
temperament.
PS: hi to all latin american fans here, who were so hot during U2
shows !
In the name of love
