    No one actually sits down , which doesn`t help shorter people now stood behind taller people as they can`t go anywhere else . The upstairs (as I recall) has a steeper gradient to it . Saw Erasure there on the Phantasmorigical Tour in 90 summat sat the back of downstairs it was still great . I sat upstairs to see the Cramps in 86 , which was also greeeaaat , its like a shrunk version of Brixton Academy .

    As HJ points out , the balcony overhangs the downstairs so its not really binocular length , not near I grant you but not stupidly far back .

    Not unless its been advertised wrong for example, when we booked to see Paloma Faith February this year it stated seated. Couple of months before the gig we got an email saying this was incorrect and should have been standing (not the balcony) so would we like to swap tickets. Of course we did.
    On that occasion I can't remember if it was the venues fault or the promoters as they just blamed each other!
    Point being, who knows but perhaps similar thing here and end up being standing due to high demand?? After all, we all know when Goldfrapp play somebody mucks them about (record company etc).
    Just my thoughts anyway :-B

    @Bells But does the Hammersmith maybe have fixed seating? (I don't know - just wondering.)

    I thought it did, I'll be gladly corrected though.
    There are specific standing areas at the rear of up and downstairs , I don't know if these are standing tickets or allocated to the first to.stand there.

    It doesn't. I've been to stuff there before where there haven't been any seats in at all.

    My mate runs the joint (front of house) and she has said the frapp show is def seated, but as mentioned on this thread, sometimes things do indeed change. And perhaps I should continue to express our concern about it ;)

    They may be going for seated venues for the autumn tour as they did with the 'Seventh Tree' gigs (well, initially anyway). The first part of the set will be mostly new songs and when they play 'Number 1', that will be the cue for everyone to get on their feet and dance like there's no tomorrow.
