Just a warning to anyone going to a concert at Wembley

Just a warning for anyone attending a concert at Wembley Arena and sitting in the back rows/high tiers.
I went to the Harry Styles concert yesterday and saw a huge queue of people asking to be moved because they were frightened by how high up the seats were. There was even a child crying. A lot of people simply didn’t realise how steep and high those seats are until they got there.
If you’re not great with heights, suffer from vertigo, get claustrophobic, or struggle in hot environments, it’s worth checking your seat location carefully before booking, as you may find it uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, Wembley Arena couldn’t move people to other seats, even though the show wasn’t completely sold out. They were told that Ticketmaster still controlled the unsold seats until Harry came on stage because they were continuing to try to sell them.
Just something to bear in mind when choosing seats, especially if you’re attending with children or anyone nervous about heights.

We had this problem at Take That at Coventry one row from the back in the north stand. The view was great and the seats were great but they were allocated as “best available” so I didn’t know where they were until I got them. The stadium had no rails up the stairs and my Dad almost fell on exit. I work in property and have no idea how they get away with it from a safety perspective.

The problem is popular concerts are often issued as “best available” so you don’t know until you get them. Theatre obviously different.

I used to work there and it was a common problem in the Grand Tier.
