I also did not order tickets on MK.com because I did not like the idea of not being able to choose (or at least to see) where I will be sitting. But today around 13:35 _ I was online rather accidentally - I could get two tickets for Oberhausen, Block 2, row A, which means first row, pretty much in the middle
On the last tour I also got extremely good tickets from eventim and not from the pre-pre-sales.
The second concert I will see is Amsterdam. I still like the idea of standing (and being close to the stage if you are there early enough), like in those DS days almost 30 ys ago.
If I don't manage to get a seating ticket in one of the very first rows I rather prefer not to go at all these days. Seing the stage from something like > 20 meters - or even 50 m =:( is not my cup of tea.
