Hi all,

I bought standing tickets to see Skrillex in February, I bought them at the beginning of December.

I've since received the tickets. I got an email a week ago saying the 'seats' I booked are no longer available and that alternative seats have been allocated, and that I should send my tickets back to get my new ones.

I just called them and apparently they have indeed over allocated the standing tickets and I've been allocated seating tickets in the circle.

This isn't how I want to see Skrillex. I asked what would happen if I didn't send them back, and he said I wouldn't be allowed in. But really, do you think I could get away with it and claim I didn't get an email/call about it?
 
wouldn't risk it tbh, although pretty sure once you're in there you can move between areas... at least i could when i went to see alice in chains a few years back
 
I have been there once before to see Fat Freddy's Drop, but I was so off my face I can't remember the layout. So the standing section is accessible from the circle? Maybe it's just a formality to meet legal requirements.
 
once in the main hall bit, iirc the stairs to the circle are directly in front (fairly big entrance hall), and either side you have access to small bars which then lead into the main sloping arena bit. so unless they've changed it, they'd have to cordon the middle bit to stop people getting between the 2 bits...
 
this is the layout of brixton academy, you go in and they scan your ticket, it's a hall way with a merch area.

you can go upstairs where your tickets get checked for seated and go through to the seating area.

if you go downstairs, your ticket gets checked for standing, if they're not standing, you get sent away.

Both areas only get checked visually (no scanner)

if you have mates going (need 2 others), you just have two people go through to the standing area, one guy then goes back to the main hallway with two standing tickets (whilst one remains in the standing area where he won't be checked) and then you pick up the second. I've done this at least 4 times.

the drawback is, if you leave to check out merch, you'll have to repeat the above process to get back in.
