Not really glasto related but see both bands at glasto so kind of counts.

Off to see skinny lister and frank turner on 22nd nov ,only tickets i could get were seats ,now i hate sitting at gigs ,anyway i could manage to get in standing area i know its limited space for health and safety reasons etc etc ,but years ago you could easily just walk in without any ticket checks.

Havent been to gig in colston hall in about 20 years so was wondering if it is possible to do .

Not 100% certain as I've only been to one gig there and I stood for it but I think you may be alright going into the standing area.

Not sure - last night in Bristol there was loads more security at venues so it may be harder than normal.

Hopefully ,for your sake, there is a standing area.

i went to watch Thin Lizzy there a few years ago and it was all seating.

not the best for a rock show.

Are you in the seats at the top, or the seats at the back of the standing area? At Colston Hall you can just walk down from the ground level seats into the standing area, theres never usually any barriers or anything - the seats at the top though have a separate entrance if I remember rightly.

Thanx for replies ,ee have seats at the very top ,back row ,so if we have to stay there at least we can get up and have jig without pissing anyone off !

Went there last week for Richard Hawley, they don't sell 'standing' tickets, but instead 'stalls'. This - I assume - means that you are actually allowed to either sit or stand in that area. No way they can stop you once the 'stalls' tix all go into the same entrance though. However, if you have 'balcony' tickets then you go through a different entrance and I don't think you'd be able to enter the standing area from there. 

EDIT: Just a slight expansion on mrf's post really.

Just as a note, might be worth asking at the Box Office if you can swap to stalls. Some venues allow it, some don't but given the way CH is layed out with the seats at the back of the standing area which means its never really rammed, it might be they're a bit more lenient

Worth a try perhaps if I say only watching support act as have train to catch that will swing it
