A genuine question and I Know it's in the wrong section,but....
When people go to a stadium concert and queue for hours to get in so that they can stand right by the stage, what happens when you need the loo? Do people let you back to the front after you have been? As I was thinking that anyone could say that just to get to the front. I've never been to a stadium concert so quite curious how this works.

Today marks 6 years since the total shambles that was 'Flashdance - the musical', which ruby took us to. No, I'll never let up.

It’s Friday, the sun is out, work emails / group chats muted. I’m on leave now for the week and looking forward to lots of theatre stuff in Manchester / London / Chichester over the next week. Happy days!

Do people let you back to the front after you have been? As I was thinking that anyone could say that just to get to the front. I've never been to a stadium concert so quite curious how this works. Based on my own experience of when I actually did this sort of thing (late 80s, early 90s), it wasn't too bad. You would get the first 2 or 3 rows of "real fans" who basically parked themselves there and didn't move. One assumes they managed their liquid intake and/or bladders to make that feasible, but basically those folks found their spot and didn't move at all. A few rows behind (where I usually ended up) it was a bit more reasonable. You could come to and fro for drinks, toilet visits etc. and other people just seemed to think "whatever", I can't remember there ever being a situation where someone got on their high horse about someone pushing in to get to the front. People were relatively relaxed about it all. These days, being an old bloke, I rarely get a pitch ticket for a stadium concert, usually I get a seat in the stands. My most recent experience of being "down the front" was Rammstein in 2022, but in that case I had paid a bit extra to get a "Fire Zone" ticket in a section at the front so that was all fine, you could pretty much come and go as you pleased. Basically people with tickets there were guaranteed a spot at the front, if they wanted it. Not sure if that practice has become a normal thing for concerts or not.
