    Everyone's opinion will differ on this, and the quality of seats in the side blocks can also depend on who the act is and if they have big screens at the back of the stage.
    I get the impression Sigrid doesn't have a big stage production, but I could be wrong.
    Personally, unless your Block A seats are right in at the wall, I'd opt for those over Block M. The angle will be more acute, but you're going to be considerably nearer because of the arc of the balcony. Even Row 30 in Row A is considerably closer to the stage than, say, Row 35 in Block M.
    I tried there as an experiment and was offered Block A, Row 29, Seats 10 and 11, which I'd regard as pretty good as a last minute purchase. But, as I say, it can depend on the show.
    If she does have big screens, you shouldn't have a restricted view from there, though.
    That's just my $0.02.

    one more thing

    can i just walk downstairs to the ground floor standing area?

    I might go down for a while with my daughter
    to give her the better vibe of standing, she can dance around for a bit

    cheers

    Nope, you'll only be able to enter at your own seated area entrance. Otherwise everyone would be at it and there would be no crowd control.

    Block A and standing are through the same entrance so you might get lucky
    after "going out for a drink/toilet" and walking back in.
    Just say my dad has the ticket and he's in standing, my kids have done it but it doesn't work all the time.
    Wouldn't do it early though as they are strict enough going in first.

    thanks

    i remember some guy on here before saying it was easy
    but cant remember his trick

    couldnt i just say we are going to the bar or merch stand
    and just stay down there
    I assume there is no merch stand upstairs?
    I always do standing gigs, ever been in the seats

    cheers

    You could but you would need to go out and back in.
    There are always people standing at the back of the standing area/front of the seats anyway later on.
    Would always depend on what way they have the entrance to the standing area cordoned off.

    There are merchandise stands upstairs, though they often don't have as much range as the main one on the ground floor.
    You could say you insist on going downstairs to buy the Falling Head Over Heels socks.

    i also heard there is only an ATM downstairs so thats a method
    Also "Im going for a smoke" is a valid one
