GA/pit vs Seats: know what to expect!

So I couldn't see a thing and every 20 seconds someone was pushing past me either to move towards the front or the back, all in all it was kinda hard to just enjoy the gig.

So I decided I'd go over for the London gig on Tuesday night, got a seat this time and it was fantastic. We all enjoy gigs in our own way and it turns out that seated is the way to go for me

Now to my problem, there will be no seats in Copenhagen. So is there anywhere you can stand in GA and actually be able to see? If I stood at the very very back could that actually work?

Would appreciate any advice

P.s. Yes I know I sound like an auld granny

I suffer from anxiety and hate big crowds and also I'm a shorty, so I figured unless I got barrier for Brussels, I'd just be staring at the back of the person in front of me.

My friend and I stood at the very back of GA, near one of the side stages, and there were only a few rows in front of us, so we got quite a decent view when Matt came down our end. We were also in a position to appreciate the visuals happening on the central stage. We did a bit of moving around while Nothing But Thieves were on, so my advice would be if you are able to enter standing from more than one entrance, if you're not happy with the first view you get, try a different entrance.

I only got a couple of pictures on my crappy phone camera, which don't really do it justice, but this is where we stood:

Cheers I decided it'd be a bad idea after all. Thinking of maybe trying to get to Glasgow on Sunday or Monday if I can get a seated ticket, just trying to talk myself into the ridiculous expense!

I'm now going to Glasgow on Monday. I really shouldn't have decided to go a third time, but we had to leave quite a bit before the end on Friday, so I missed TAB (never seen it before) and Knights, etc. Also didn't see the Globalist, but, as far as I'm aware, that's a staple. Getting a hotel room this time, so we don't have to worry about getting home the same night! Plus, we're flying, which is surprisingly cheaper than train if you go for a budget airline.

They still had seated tickets yesterday for the Monday. It's saying tonight is sold out, but apparently you have to contact the venue for tickets.
