Default whats better seated or standing at a concert?

hi tickets go on sale tomorrow for AC/DC in Glasgow Hampden football stadium..
ive never been to a concert before shame on me!! so iam wondering is standing or seating best iam thinking a seat would be good but it would be crap if iam seated miles away from the stage.if iam standing should i expect to get pushed about alot?
any experience or opinions with concerts?
thanks

I really, really want to go to see AC/DC in London, but at my age i don't want three days of deafness; it's a crap feeling and it's no good for your hearing! Or am i just being a lightweight ***?

When the first lot of tickets were on sale (November I think?) I only just managed to get two seated tickets and even then it was at my third choice of venue. They seemed to sell out very quickly so you might find you don't actually have a choice!
Good luck

We always have seating, can't do with all the pushing and if you cannot get to the front then your stuffed especially if you get 'tall' people in front of you.
Thats another reason why we always go seating and my wife is not the tallest either so it helps with the whole see the show scenario

Seated without any doubt - it's like coach or first class...

Tel, modern gigs have a legal SPL limit of less than 110dB or something like that. You won't go deaf. There are some cracking earplugs on the market as well, that only attenuate volume and don't affect the frequency range of the music, if you're worried.

Got seated tickets for Wembley, chuffed to bits. Took about an hour on the phone though.
