I'm so not suprized that you begrudged us our moment. Our early admission into the venue was our reward for the effort in undertaking the job they asked us to do. Anyone can have a go but it's also a one off chance. I was sad to have to leave at the start of Dr John which is my fave song but I was there to do a job and so off I went and reported for duty whilst you enjoyed the rest of the show.
We've been here before but when we arrived at the venue we stopped to have a chat with Freddie before going in to rehearse but no-one offered to put a number on our hands........just like no-one did at Brixton in 2008....the first I knew of the numbering system was when I saw a few of the other Big Girls with numbers and thought..."here we go again!!".
At Manchester we arrived and joined the queue and got third row places which is okay as we got there as early as we could but others were there before us and that was fine. At Birmingham on Thursday we will be able to arrive a bit earlier than for Manchester and Leeds and we hope that we'll get a spot closer to the front but again, we'll join the queue like we always do....and get the spot in the venue that we get......and not moan about it.
You don't actually have a monopoly over the front centre spot at every gig, nor have you been employed as the gig queue police but I have no doubt that you'll continue to find something to be unhappy about at every show.
I had an amazing experience last night but reading your report has left me deflated and I can't even be bothered relaying my story on here now.
