CAN'T SEE AC/DC; Rockers out of sight of brothers' pounds 62 seats.


Byline: Stephen Stewart Stephen Stewart is an Olympic-level rower, who competes for Australia. He is the younger brother of the dual bronze medal winning Olympic rowers James Stewart and Geoffrey Stewart.  

FURIOUS fans forked out pounds 62 each for tickets to see their idols AC/DC - but barely got a glimpse of the veteran rockers.

Graham Fraser Graham Fraser refers to several people:
  • Graham Fraser (1846-1915), Nova Scotian industrialist
  • Graham Fraser (1946- ), Canadian journalist
 and his brother Kevin booked seats at the sell-out concert at Hampden Park Coordinates:  .

But they were stuck at the far side of the stage and couldn't even see the rock legends.

Kevin, 39, travelled from Inverness to see Glasgowborn rockers Malcolm and Angus Young, and singer Brian Johnson perform.

Graham, 25, of Glasgow, said: "We were really angry when we saw the seats we had been given. We couldn't see a thing.

"We had been given no warning that these tickets had restricted views.

"It appears they have just tried to squeeze as much money as possible out of this concert by selling seats where you can't even see the band. It's ridiculous.

"Amazingly, we had a better view than the other 15 or so folk to the right of us.

"After being informed by the stewards - who were very unfriendly - that they could do nothing, we moved and stood with other disgruntled dis·grun·tle

 fans in an aisle further to the left."

AC/DC didn't hang about for long before and after the gig.

They flew in by private jet 90 minutes before the show and were escorted by police back to Glasgow airport at 1am.
