By Simon Tomlinson Young One Direction fans have been left 'inconsolable' after buying standing tickets for the band's hotly anticipated arena tour only to discover that under-12s must be seated. Parents have been treating their children to tickets for the group's concerts, but some have failed to read the small print which includes restrictions for the youngest fans. One of those is Lynsay Short who bought her eight-year-old daughter Ruby Lynn a Â£50 ticket to see the band at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland next month.
