I am afraid GF Mower has misunderstood what happened at the Elton John concert (Letters, July 15). My wife and I and our teenage sons had a very enjoyable time there.

We watched the England football match on television (having visited the ground earlier in the day to confirm a later admission would be all right).

We only missed 20 minutes of the concert, despite a taxi ride from Peacehaven. We were admitted without problem by the stewards.

Yes, people did get up and walk around from time to time, us included. This added to the festival atmosphere. There was an area of grass at the back of the site for people to stand, have a beer or ice cream, or make use of the excellent toilet facilities.

We did not see any drunkenness or bad behaviour. Although we had the cheapest tickets in the ground (£40), we had an excellent view of the stage and big screen and, for the last 20 minutes, everybody was standing anyway.

All in all, it was an excellent concert. Our thanks to the organisers.
