A hot take about the GC at the Mayhem Ball

So. Last Sunday I visited the Mayhem Ball in Amsterdam, and first of all: “WHAT A SHOW”. I am not in the best place in life so sadly I couldn’t fully be in the moment, but even then I was slayed. However, I started wondering what might have caused partially me not enjoying it as I wanted to, and I think it is the Golden Circle layout. So hear me out. 
 

I have been to all her tours since the BTWB, always with 2 short people. With the Artrave the catwalk were high, so you could always see her. With the JWT you could be standing close to any of the B stages and on the main stage she was elevated a lot, so same. At the CBT we had Golden Circle, and we were able to stand in the back of the circle, with enough space, but like right in the middle so you could see the stage fully frontally, and we were able to take a few steps back so the tall Dutchies were not blocking the view too much. 
 

However, last Sunday we struggled. Like first of all, why was fhe GC almost half of the floor?! But okay. We were standing GC left (so not the VIY) side, and at first we stood at the back, close to the lane they made for VIY (which she didnt use in Amsterdam). But we could barely see her, unless she was on the big red dress. There was no space in the back of the GC, since “front row” was not actually in the front, but along the catwalk. So the only place where we as shorties could see, was on the sides, almost under the ring with the seats. But at that spot you were looking at the main stage mainly from the side, which I dislike (I like symmetry) and every time Gaga was on the catwalk we just saw her back, or dancers blocking her. I almost feel the view from the GA in the center was often better than GC, unless you had front row. And I heard multiple people say this, not just my short friends. 
 

How was your experience with this?

Was this your first, second or seventh time attending?

Hahah first. I would never start a thread like this if I had multiple possibilities to go and try out different spots:huntyga:
