They're for tourist, not commuters, that's why...

You can just turn up and get a ticket on the Gatwick Express, that's what
most people do.  Unless you're doing a lot of rail travel the pass might not
save that much.

Not at all sure, you'd better check with your travel agent.

I expect the box office will be closed for other events, so get your
Motorhead ticket in advance.

Probably, I've had to get circle tickets for a couple of events there
(Ramones, Kraftwerk) and there was no choice about it, circle it said so
circle it was.  But the downstairs is like a big sloping bar with a stage,
you can walk for miles, and in and out to the bars, merchandise etc.
