If the floor is all general admission then what’s the front/rear standing split about? My ticket is front standing, is this guaranteed ‘front’ section, has anyone encountered this before.?
This is for brimingham right? Yea I have… it’s pretty simple, cause it’s a big venue, they cut the standing into two sections and put a barrier between them for safety and to stop people jumping through to the front section there are different entrances and your ticket will be for one section only, so there is general admission front and general admission rear, although don’t think this is right at the front, the front section is bigger than the rear as you can see from the map and is actually pretty huge, they will be thousands of people in it!
Well you still get your scarf and pin haha, although your “designated venue check-in” might mean that you have a different entrance to everyone else and as less people have premium tickets, less queueing…
I find it strange that this is the only venue on the tour to do it. I’ve been to tours where LP have done this at every arena; but it looks like it’s just Birmingham this time. Blink are playing the very next day and it looks like the entire floor is general standing. I’m very happy about the front/rear standing though 
Ah odd, I have been to that venue a couple of times and each time it’s been a very different layout, they change it a lot depending on the band! Sometimes it’s much smaller. Perhaps the layout they are using for Blink is one of the smaller layouts. I’m seeing Blink in cardiff (the reason why I can’t go to the London show) which has about a 7,000 capacity, the Barclaycard arena has a max of around 16,000 so I am guessing they are using a smaller layout for Blink, particularly because it’s a bigger tour and some people will be split between Cardiff and Birmingham (I usually go to Cardiff for example if it’s an option)
Strange. The Ticket Factory have Rear Standing, Front Standing and A Front Standing. A Front Standing is sold out. Any ideas?
Ahh interesting spot!
I believe (and this is just a guess) this is standing by the seating area, the seating is split up into A and B and A is the higher tiers by the front of the stage, I’ve been before were there are a few people standing in this area and always wondered how they got up there/what kinda ticket that was. It’s basically a small balcony type area behind the seating, which is were the people seating enter and exit.
This doesn’t exist for the seating at the rear (B section) as this area goes higher and has more seating, likely why there is no B standing, although just a theory, the map on ticketfactory only shows the same standing areas as the others, so i would doubt A standing is anything different from what I just explained.
Ticketfactory is the official vendor for the venue, you will notice that the VIP package is completely different, because it’s one run by the venue itself, likely that’s why these tickets are only available from ticket factory and are very limited, hence why they are showing as sold out!
Most expensive pin and scarf Iv ever paid for! Haha
True yes so hopefully i can get there very early!
Awesome tat

Congrats dude. Is that because you had a guaranteed M&G code? Pleased that somebody already has a confirmation
Abril put me on the list! It was a guaranteed M&G from LPU 11
Hi all. Got my tickets for Manc! Very excited- can’t wait. Fingers crossed for a LPU M&G lottery. As much as I love the band, can’t stretch to £500 to guarantee meeting them. And seriously, what am I going to do with an electric guitar?!! I don’t have anywhere I could keep it

I had a look today, and during all pre-sales to see if any good seats were available for Birmingham, and couldn’t find anything worth trading my standing ticket for. It looks like instead of reserving the good seats for LPU, they went for the premium packages only. No doubt these will be available at face value on the week leading up to the event when they don’t sell. Such a shame, still pleased with my front standing though.

I got a ticket for Manchester last night as well, so far I have standing for Birmingham and Manchester, hoping for a 2nd london date, keep refreshing, hoping for an announcement!
London night 1 is almost sold out from what I’ve been reading. It won’t be long till the announce the 2nd night.
Yeah, that’s why I said almost. It’s insane how fast the tickets sold. How long has it been since they played here, 3 years?
Yeah, it’ll be just over 2 and a half years when they come back. They did the 2 city stop in London and Manchester during November 2014.
