Standingroomonly
Standingroomonly, often abbreviated as SRO, is a term commonly used in the music industry to describe a venue or concert that is sold out and has no remaining seats. In such cases, the venue may allow additional fans to enter and stand in designated areas, typically behind the stage or in the aisles. This policy is often implemented to maximize revenue and accommodate the high demand for popular acts. However, it can lead to overcrowding, limited visibility, and potential safety concerns. The decision to implement an SRO policy is usually made by the venue or promoter, and it may vary depending on the event and the specific venue's capacity and layout. Fans who are unable to secure a seat may still be able to purchase standing tickets or gain entry through lottery systems or presales.
