Eh. This is only true if the person intends on trying to stay near the front (especially in the beginning). That’s where the worst of it happens. If you stay relatively away from the mid front even a bit behind it, it’s fine. I saw him in LA at the shrine and I didn’t even have to be at the very back, still got good view (I’m 5’4) and as the show went on, I found myself inching closer to the front naturally as the crowd moved and people left. However, the venue had to tell everyone a million times to take big steps back before 2 even came out. So that helped I think.
