Seating plan, it looks like it's all seats no standing areas It would have been fantastic to see some pogo on a Jeff Lynne show, but being realistic, how many of his songs (if any) are pogo-able?

Not so sure. If you think about it, MBS' rhythm is too fast for the pogo, and during the chorus it's too irregular.
From the End of the World, on the other hand, has a very pogo-able rhythm, but again, what's the chance of him playing that one?

Wembley is a horrible venue for live music. It would take a really decent support line up or confimation of a radically different setlist for me to go I think. By the way, it looks like Roy Wood is touring later this year. I happened to find him playing a local venue in Westcliff in October later in the year with tickets already onsale! Couldn't see any info on his website this morning. Got a couple of circle front row seats. He's playing Worthing in December. It must be 20 years since he last played here.

Don't get me started about the Showdown list, it does seem an exclusive club I was once a member of, I was thrown out for doing a dirty deed (running a forum helping ELO fans). I've said to much already I better keep quiet I feel you, brother. I was a member when I ran ELO Forever, but then "Der Fuhrer" kicked me out for sharing news and info that she deemed exclusive to her mailing list. She really is a power hungry, sad little person. Back on topic, the stadium show is a huge deal. Just not sure it's Jeff's element. Let's face it, he's not Mick Jagger, Freddie Mercury , Bruce Springsteen, or Bono. Those guys could take a crowd of that size and own them for 2 plus hours. Jeff, as much of a musical genius as he is, just isn't a dynamic frontman. Thank goodness he isn't Jagger or any of the others. Its about the music with Jeff as it should be and it is why I love him above all others. Trust me guys Jeff will have the crowd in the palm of his hand.

I attempted to rejoin in the last few days, no response at all ... I left it years ago when I got fed-up of it. I was hoping it would have got better over time..maybe not
