I can already see there will be quite few of us on Sat at 9 trying to buy tickets :)
I was so often criticising TICKETMASTER... after that I don't think I will ever again say a bad word about them...

Standing tickets are usually the same price - front or back - unless they have a GOLD BLOCK - where people pay more to stand nearer the stage. Surely this would not apply to indoor gigs?

I wasn't sure about the right word. Yes, even in case of an indoor gig there can be a gold block, gold circle or whatever it's called. Prague is an example. Approx. 2000 standing tickets in front of the stage and other 5000 standing tickets "in the back".

Was it like that in 2005? The golden circle stuff?

I agree with you on this! As you can see I've been heavily criticising the pre-sales for last 2 days. I've lost all credibility I'm afraid in this pre-sales process. I of course wouldn't say this if I had booked tickets!!
If I recall the last time in 2005, there was a special tel number for members only with membership numbers a day before real pre-sales. This was a far smoother operation as you went through quickly, gave your card number and that was it. You received confirmation and seat number. That's the way it should be. It's become more of a free for all I think!
I also will not say another bad word about ticketmaster either as I called them today and they were very helpful. They reassured me that if you log on at 9.00 precisely you will be able to get tickets which was nice. There'll probably be a mad rush but I will get a ticket.

I've seen 'gold circles' at several shows at Ahoy Rotterdam and Sportpaleis Antwerpen.
(Last time I saw Tool in Ahoy they even had the standing area divided in THREE parts!)
