To cancel our Wembley trip?

As someone who used to live in the area, if you're driving park north of Wembley and get the tube - the queues for the northbound train are much shorter than the queues for central London.

As many have said Wembley is ok OP i think you'll be fine 😊

Years ago i went to an old theatre in London to see Oliver and was right up 'in the gods'.

Bloody hell it was steep! My feet were fight behind the person in front's actual head and it felt like there was about 3 inches of floor to stand on. When i had to stand to let someone pass and when it was time to stand to leave I felt sick and like shuffling along sideways clinging to the chair arms! 🥹

People die in car crashes all the time yet no one crying about cancelling cars
People die at home all the time yet no one crying about cancelling homes
One person dies at a concert not o we can't go anywhere near that venue
Just putting things into perspective

What a complete waste of money

Exactly this. I was at Oasis on Sunday night. We were row 10 in the 500's. Didn't feel to high and no way near as steep as upper levels of the O2, which i will never book for again (felt nervous to stand as so steep).
I would go, your children will have a great time.

It was a while ago now, and at the O2. But I had tickets for up in the high section, when I got there and realised how high it was I freaked out due to my fear of heights. We spoke to someone there and got upgraded to a box, free of charge.

Wembley is so much better than other stadiums for steepness. think how many events are held there, and how many times this has happened?

Go, you’ll have a wonderful time.

whilst Saturdays events are incredibly sad, as someone who has been multiple times to Wembley I can’t work out what went wrong. It is just incredibly sad.

Sat up there a few times, it's fine. You aren't in any way vulnerable to falling or anything.

Oh, and use Wembley Stadium station for the trains to and from Marylebone rather than Wembley Park.

Never been to Wembley but I have been up in the gods at Twickenham with DH who doesn't like heights either. Coming out of the concourse into the seating area was fine as was being seated, turning around half way up the stairs made my head spin and no idea why, I almost fell over 😂 DH said the same but ultimately was fine seated / stood. I think they'll be fine especially when the concert starts.

my son is not great with heights and we've been to stadium gigs and high up and it never even occurred to any of us this might be an issue.

It's a gradual incline so it's not like you're looking over an edge which is whats generally triggering for most people.

Id say that Oasis was quite civilised if all dneice got was beer chucked over her. Back in the day it was a different amber liquid.....
Coldplay different vibe!

She thought it was hilarious! I was really glad that I wasn't there!

How awful.

Sat there many times, it doesn’t feel high once it’s full of people, unless you are in the front row you are sandwiched in, i would suggest waiting until it’s filling up rather than going in when it’s empty though. Coldplay are really chill

I was in the same section a week ago - different night - and can’t understand what happened at all. The show was over and the fireworks aren’t that easy to see from the section. But you’d still need to be leaning over an entrance door or sector railing quite unnaturally in order to fall.

It was a lovely seat and my first time in the upper tiers but didn’t feel “high” at all. Yet I feel weird when I’m in certain seats in the theatre.

Go and have a great time!

My neice (age 27) saw Oasis at Wembley
Sat up high. No issue.
But she did get covered in beer as did everyone around her
People got very drunk/stoned, hence the throwing of beer
This was a Friday evening

I sat high up for Taylor Swift and for the Euros final. When you very first step out of the stairwell into the stadium, it feels high, but once you’re in your seat and surrounded by people, it really doesn’t. Just take a deep breath as you come out of the tunnel, turn away from the arena (towards the seats) as you find your place, then relax once you’re there.

As someone else said, the crowd for the tube is more overwhelming! Again, just take it easy. Deep breaths, accept that it will take ages, enjoy the atmosphere (there will be lots of singing in the crowd!)

I'm scared of heights and was terrified at the 02 Arena, but not at Wembley. It doesn't feel particularly high or overly steep, even in the high seats.

Once they are sat down, they'll be fine. If you are two adults, one go at the front and one at the back going up the steps with them in the middle. If just you, go behind them so they feel secure.

Enjoy!

I was almost on the highest row for Taylor swift and I don’t like heights but I didn’t feel unsafe of like I could fall anywhere.
what I didn’t like was the crowd after to get to the tube. It was managed but I felt bad for dd surrounded by taller people when she was already tired. Maybe leave slightly before the end to avoid crowds.

I don't like heights and there's no way I'd sit up there!

I saw Dua Lipa recently with my Dd (13) and a few of her friends and was up quite high, it really didn’t feel it and I didn’t feel rammed in. I would go as the kids will love the atmosphere and am sure Coldplay will put on an excellent show.
