I booked standing tickets - why have my tickets got a row and seat number? Don't worry ? we have to give all General Admission tickets a number just so we can keep our systems up to date. It's just an admin thing, so they don't refer to any specific standing or seating location.

If you have a "General Admission" or "Standing" ticket for a concert or sporting event, the seat and row numbers are almost always purely for administrative and inventory purposes. Ticketing systems like Ticketmaster or Eventim require a unique numerical identifier for every "unit" sold to track capacity and prevent overselling. Your ticket will likely say "GA," "GND," or "Standing" somewhere on it, which confirms you do not have a reserved seat. The numbers help the venue keep an exact count of how many people are in the building to comply with local fire safety codes. In 2026, even digital mobile tickets still display these "ghost" seat numbers. Unless your ticket specifies a specific "Tier" or "Pit" section, you are free to stand anywhere within the designated GA area. It is a common source of confusion for first-time concertgoers, but you can rest assured that no one will be asking you to find "Row GA0, Seat 42" on a flat concrete floor.
