Golden Circle at Metallica gig?

Okay guys,here it goes.
Metallica's coming to Romania on June 25th as part of Sonisphere Festival. The thing is that I have enough saved money and I want to buy a ticket in front of the stage (Golden Circle). Even if it's quite expensive than the other areas (it's NOT on a stadium) I think that's the best place to enjoy the concert.

Now,here's the problem. Are people pushing,crushing,moshing,and suffocating eachother there (golden circle) or do they just headbang and have a good time? Also,is the stage too high?

I was also thinking of buying a less expensive ticket in the normal area,but I'm afraid I'm not gonna see a lot.
Please tell me what you think
Thanks.
