After Sean Knight and his group entered, they heard voices from behind:
"Why won't you let us in?"
"Because you have exceeded the number of people allowed, an invitation card allows only two people to enter." The security guard's answer was very polite.

"That's because they are using a VIP-level invitation card. Up to five people are allowed with those." The security guard continued to explain politely.
Sean Knight and his group all heard it.
Having found their seats, Sean Knight realized they were in a forward position with good visibility, yet not directly in front of the stage.
