There were outdoor concerts near here but I know I couldn't stand for that long so they're a thing of the past now.

I would have thought so too merlotgran. Anyone with a disability, even pregnancy or advancing years and not being as nimble as they once were would struggle to get to their feet after 8 hours on a damp blanket.

That seems to be very unfair Primrose, I'm Stretham there are many people who would like to attend bit just couldn't physically stand for the duration of the concert. As for only being able to sit on picnic blankets, that would be rather uncomfortable if the ground is wet and muddy. It's a lot of money to spend 8 hours in discomfort.

Surely picnic rugs when spread out take up more space than a folding chair? 🤔

Our local FB page has many offers of tickets that people,for the same reason,are selling.

Yes. There was a warning here last week of fake RW tickets being on FB so we got a refund instead of trying to sell ours. They cost £182 for the pair of us so we didn’t want to be left with them if people thought they might be fake.

As soon as tickets went on sale my friend and I bought tickets to see RW on Sat night at Sandringham.

A couple of weeks ago it was announced that you could not take folding chairs. I asked why not because you could at other concerts there and they said it was because other concerts are around 8,000 visitors but RW is 25,000!

I am pretty good healthwise but I doubt whether I could stand from about 3pm to 11.30 pm. All you are allowed is a picnic rug and then we both started worrying in case we can’t get up again! It’s sold out both Sat and Sun nights with waiting list of 7,000 so we got refunds on tickets. Gutted to be honest but have loads of recorded RW footage to watch.

Another friend is going to see The Who on Mon night and she said she will be so embarrassed because she has to get hauled up once she sits down.

The minds are willing but our vintage bodies are not. 😢
