OK so here is the situation

mastodon are playing in london

mastodon are playing in london

but ebay tickets are going for $texas and only seated tickets are available for a reasonable price

SE++, from your experience in life's endeavours, how difficult is it to get to the standing area at a gig when you only have seated tickets

also tips and tricks would be helpful

no I am not willing to sleep with a man to aid my cause unless that man has a great rack

    easy stuff

    seriously, just stroll down and act like you're supposed to be there

    if they got dudes at the standing area gates checking tickets, wait until the opener starts playing, hover by the gates and follow a group in

    buy the door guy a beer

    hop the rail

    whatever

    Mug a guy walking towards the stadium they're playing in.

    Hopefully they'll have a ticket

    Run in screaming "HES GOT A GUN"

    or tell one of the bouncers you fucked his mom.

    Usually they never check..Here at Arco Arena, they will usually let anyone in the standing area..My friend and I had seated tix for SOAD/TMV/Hella and during the two opening acts we sat and enjoyed a beer and a quick puff off of guy's next to us pipe..As soon as SOAD came on we went right to the standing area..

    Pop a pill and find a group of people who are going to jump the fence.
    Let a few go over first, then the second group in one massive wave and run like hell. Hopefully the security will chase the first group. Run for the nearest crowd.

    Or better yet, get one of those stupid girl shirts that say "I'm with the band"

    Thatway your lips are free to tell the bouncer about his mother's oral technique

    i've never been to a concert with seated and non-seated tickets

    in any case listen to bonk

    i dunno about london venues but you could probably hop a rail and get lost in the pit pretty easily

    okay there are four security guys you have to worry about

    one follows your steps, one takes the most direct route to your location, one attempts to cut you off at intersections, and one moves fairly randomly

    what you have to do is lure them all to one corner of the arena and get the power pill

    they'll all turn blue and you can eat them

    This one time at a concert this guy went completely white and was shaking and his friends carried him out then I went completely white and tapped my friends on the shoulder and they thought I was just making fun of the other guy and they laughed at me and then I turned and ran and then had to hide from security.

    Mastodon rock so hard

    Dave king-of-motherfuckers Grohl says their drummer's the best in the world, and I'll be damned if he's not close.

    And the riffage.

    the riffage
