kitbag Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 hi guys, I am going to see Queen (the band not the person) at the O2 arena on the 7th of November. I am really excited, but I am also quite scared as I am quite little and I don't want to get squished between drunken old men. Has anyone got any advice on how not to get squished!!??

Goosey Lucy Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Get there early and stand with your feet apart! We took ES (then almost 5) to the Queen concert at the NEC in 2005, standing, and weren't squished at all. We've just been to the concert in Nottingham with both boys (4 and 8 ) but had seats this time. Everyone was very well behaved and I didn't come across any drunks at either venue. I think Queen/Paul Rodgers fans are quite well behaved I hope you have a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I saw Queen at Wembly in '86. Found a seat in the side and didn't get squished. Looking back - I guess we were sat in the side because he was really too straigh laced to be at a rock concert! Was the best concert I've ever seen though! You'll have a fantastic time! edited for adult content Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejmum Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hold a drink, "Ooops, word censored!"ody likes getting a drink spilt on them! (and wear waterproofs!) If you wear a big hat "Ooops, word censored!"ody will squish you from behind because they wont be able to see. Most of all, just enjoy the concert and you might not notice any squishing!

clootie Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Splash on copious amount s of "eau de chook" before you go. I guarantee there will be a 4 metre radius of dancing space around you !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisa33 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Get one of those fake pregancy bellies and make a big fuss. You'll have a great time no matter, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 We went and saw them last night at the O2 - it was fantastic! As long as you aren't right at the front of the standing area you wont get squished, I'd rather have been down there last night than sat up where we were - it did say that the 4th tier was steep and they weren't kidding!

kitbag Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 I'm just worried that I won't have my precious personal space!! Did it look like fun!!?? Also I just found out I am going to the Kaiser Chiefs on Thursday!! my friend promised me that we could stand near the toilets, but considering that I fainted in science class today, and I had to be carried to reception I'm not sure I should be going. I'm not sure when it finishes but hey lol!! Kitbag xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
