Gigs that is, not your house. Your favourite band/musician is coming to town, and you have a free choice of seats* to buy. Which do you choose?
I quite like to be front row and centre where I can get a feeling of being in the presence of the act, but for venues with a higher stage that can mean emerging with a sore neck after staring up their noses for two hours. With a free choice I’ll go for the centre of the front row of the balcony I think. A clear view, being able to see the whole stage at once for more spectacular shows, and observing the crowd below rather than being part of it.
* You can make the case for sore feet and being jostled for the best view of the backs of tall people’s heads at standing gigs if you wish, but I won’t be persuaded.
