Royal Albert Hall ticket swap

I have a seated ticket, second tier, row 1 seat 3, cost £82.50 so it's a very good seat. I'd like to swap it for a standing - a straight swap, I'm not asking for the extra costs. 

Imagine how lovely it would be to just sit back and relax throughout the gig, without the experience of crushing, trampled toes, and your view unfettered by very tall people wearing hats or with big hair right in your face.  You can take all the pics you want without the risk of having your camera/phone knocked out your hand by some over-enthusiastic oaf barging into you (it's never me). Best of all, you will leave the venue clean, dry and smelling sweet without the bonus drenching of other people's sweat (it's never your own).

Aren't we all getting a little too old for the mosh pit now?  Yes?

That seems a little optimistic I'm afraid. We had 'good' seats for Brixton night 2 but had to give the tix AND a further £75 to a tout to get standing. Good luck...but don't hold yr breath!

Ssh....don't ruin my sales pitch! There must be someone out there that bought standing in haste and then remembered they have a dodgy knee, or who's old back problem has suddenly flared up again. Think of the damage standing up for 2 hours could do to them.

Why not.  Be the biggest miracle since Cana. My wife would relish it.

A miracle it may be, but no use to me unless you are in possession of a standing ticket.

hahahaha oh dear... Anet honey, if I can on the night I will pass you my ticket somehow so you can sneak yourself into standing. :) :)

Thanks! I was considering the sneaking into standing option, but don't know how vigalant they will be. Maybe we can devise a system where once we're in, you can make a paper dart out of your ticket and launch it across to my seat? Or maybe I can abseil down from the second tier onto the floor?

Any other suggestions welcome.

Losing hope now. Looks like I'll be going in to the standing area SAS style.
