Seat was upper deck, so waited near the G1 entrance for upstairs, MIA is that area downstairs where the entrances are either side of the escalator down from the floor above. The tensa barriers had been closed in a way that formed an entrance chute already full, They’d called families and those needing extra time, and their associated entourages. Announced they were about to call G1, so a large herd rushed the entrance, when rather quietly the person about to open the barrier asked if there were any G0. When I said yes she opened a side barrier for me, and to the great delight of those waiting I was able to jump the queue, well apart from the 30 or so pre-boarders.
