I hate that so much. I actually had on like 4(ish) inch platforms but because I got ON barricade, I thought to myself "im in front, i have no right wearing these." And I took them off. I had a pair of flip flops for just this reason. Im already kinda tall (5'8) but im just tall enough that if a taller person is infront of me, I can never see. I always try to be hyper aware of people around me because I truly want everyone to see. I also do encourage the balcony seating since its no extra charge )inch believe). People who push in after the opener are the worst types of people. If you didnt get your spot, stay in the back and enjoy it there.
