No need to stand on the shoulder

From Oasis - Wembley 2009

Rock is what Wembley does best – both the old run down version and the wonderful new plush version. Oasis aren’t too bad at making a large stadium rock – the combination was a great Sunday evening. Added benefit was that I’d splashed out on a “VIP package” – really a fancy name for short cutting the queues for food, drink and loos, and guaranteed good view and conformable seats. I applaud Oasis’ attempts to defeat the touts by not allocating seats until the week before the event – but that does mean knowing if you’ll be able to see the stage or not when you buy the ticket is not an option – unless you splash out on the already expensive seats…  Some people that had opted for unreserved standing, who ended up at the back of the pitch resorted to standing on shoulders – the penalty for flat pitches…  My next visit to Wembley will be for U2 – another guaranteed great evening of live music…
