Seating BEHIND stage?

storm99x · 01-04-2012, 08:22 PM

Can someone please explain to me how seating behind the stage works? I was under the impression that the stage IS NOT 360 degrees, so wouldn't buying a ticket behind the stage be useless?

Please let me know if I'm not understanding something here, I don't want to buy tickets behind the stage unless I completely have to.

Thank you!

If the stage isn't 360 degrees, which I believe is the case in some venues but not most, they will not sell tickets behind the stage.

That would be like selling tickets to sit outside of a movie theatre.

Rediculous, I hate the very idea of it.

I saw the band in Manchester last year from the rear of the stage and although it is always better to be at the front, the band kept wandering right round and acknowledged the fans at the rear so you still felt part of the show so if you can only get tickets for the back don't worry you'll still have an amazing time!
