Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda gem Nation.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Well.

Speaker 3 (00:03):
A couple of weeks ago, I went to see Hanns
Zimmer perform at Kudos Bank Arena, and every few minutes
someone was getting out of their seat and having to
walk in front of you. And the seats aren't big
enough that can happen easily without having to stand up
and all of that, and I think, are they go
to the toilet, They're going to get drinks? What's going on?
I've got the as you know, the blood of a
budgery gar, and yet I was able to make it
through the concept. Tina Arena has launched a scathing attack

(00:27):
on some fans who took a toilet break during a
recent show, and some of the comments were saying that
they're at that show and a lot of people getting
up and walking around. But she said, back in my day,
you wouldn't leave to go to the toilet lest you
were beeping your pants, is what Tina has said, and
put her right off.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
I've seen Tina give people sprays and I got to
tell you don't want to be at the receiving end
of that spray.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
But other people are saying, look, I've paid good money
for this seat and if I've got to go to
the toilet, I've got to go to the toilet.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Seventy I paid to see a darbinact. I want to
seize me a darbac.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Up during a concept. Does it pass the pub test?

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yes, it absolutely does. You know what, her fans aren't
getting any younger and some of us, you know, we've
pushed out a couple of kids, and we want to
be able to jump up and down and dance during
the end of the show. It's the highlight.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
No, I don't need my view interrupted with people walking
pastwards that I think it's fine.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
I usually stand up when I have to be in
a seated area, and.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
I think if you've got to get up and do
what you need to do, then who cares. It doesn't
ruin anyone's experience.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
You're there for the concept, not for people standing up.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Oh, I think it past the pub test. I think
she's been a bit sensitive.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
If you've got a week, bladdy, you've got a week, bladdy,
you've got to go, You've got.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
To go, and if you need to be well, it's
very important to get up.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Past the pub test.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Mixed bag then mixed bag
