Your view is a game of human Tetris. The woman in front of you? She’s six-foot-two and wearing a ten-inch-high feather headdress. Her boyfriend has hoisted her onto his shoulders. Now your view is an ostrich with a lighter. Brilliant.
You will spend the entire concert doing the “neck crane” or the “knee-bend bob.” This is your new choreography. Ed Sheeran is singing about being in love; you’re doing a deadly serious workout that looks like a malfunctioning inflatable tube man.

Surprising Fact #2: The Screaming Is a Science
Don’t underestimate the collective scream. If you’re in the rafters, you hear the crowd before the band. It’s a wall of noise that hits you like a friendly, very loud tsunami. Scientists have measured crowd screams at Wembley over 130 decibels. That’s louder than a jet taking off. Your ears will ring for three days. But you’ll still be humming the chorus while you’re at the supermarket, buying ibuprofen to stop the pain. It’s a beautiful cycle.
