Equal Views for Everyone: Create a Section for Shorter Concertgoers!

We, the undersigned, call on concert venues, promoters, and event organizers to reserve a designated section for shorter individuals at live shows, concerts, and performances.

Why is this important?

Too often, fans who are under a certain height are left straining to see the stage, as they’re blocked by taller people in front of them. Despite paying for tickets that cost upwards of £60, shorter individuals (like myself!) are left feeling excluded from the full experience. This is not only frustrating, but it limits our ability to enjoy the music, the performance, and the overall atmosphere of the event.

We believe that concert-goers who are 5'4" or shorter should be given the option to sit or stand in a designated section where their view is unobstructed, ensuring that we can all have an equal opportunity to enjoy the show.

As someone who’s on the shorter side, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve gone to concerts and found myself standing behind a 6-foot-plus person, straining to catch a glimpse of the stage. It’s incredibly frustrating to pay top dollar for a ticket, only to be left squinting at the back of someone’s head for the entire show.

It’s not just about the view—concerts are about experiencing the music and the energy of the crowd. But when you can’t see past someone’s shoulders, it completely kills the vibe. I’m not asking for special treatment, but why not create a space where shorter people can actually enjoy the show too?

I know I'm not the only one who’s felt this way. If you’re shorter and have had the same issue, share your story and let’s work together to make sure concerts are a better experience for everyone—no one should have to sacrifice their view just because they’re not tall enough.
