, who say attendees should be allowed to bring their own chairs, as the event is likely to attract an older audience.Tricia said:"What, so a load of 60-year-old adults are going to beat one another up with chairs?"It’s more of a safety concern making us stand. How many people are they going to have collapse? You have people of a certain age standing who will go anyway because they have spent all the money, and they will collapse because they can’t stand up for that amount of time.
Tricia said she had received an email informing her of this on Saturday, September 3 – just two weeks before the festival. “We have always taken a chair each to the event in Hyde Park without any problem,” said Tricia."When we have been to concerts at Hyde Park, the vast majority of the audience are our age and older.”
The BBC website states customers cannot bring chairs or shooting sticks without “permission in writing from the access team”. An online form to apply for access permission states the deadline for applications was Friday, September 2.
