OK Arthur, I'll expand on the conversation I had with the lady in the box office, which was quite lengthy - your criticism is covered, I assure you. I explained that I was unable to stand for the duration of a gig (I'm by no means wheelchair-bound, however, so wheeelchair access isn't applicable in my own case). She said there was a limited number of seats for disabled people and she would find me one. But when I told her that three of us wanted to go she said that finding three seats (two of which would be for my non-disabled companions, though, as I said, they are over 60) would not be possible. Well I wanted to take one of the two people as a birthday treat (the other being my wife), and there's no way that we would want to have been separated in any way, and I'm not the sort of bloke anyway who could cope with the privilege (even had it been offered, which it wasn't) of three of us smugly sitting down when most of the rest of the audience, some of whom might be at least equally deserving, were standing. My opening post relates accurately the reason she gave for the gig being standing-only. Another slightly off-putting aspect for us, all of whom would have had to face a fairly long drive home afterward (55 miles for me), was that the doors don't open until 8.30. We could have lived with that and I'm sure there's a good reason for it, but there is a support act as well as the Unthanks and I can't imagine what time it might finish. So I did ask all the right questions, Arthur, which I hope you'll now accept.
