Hmm, I don't really trust pre-sales. Especially with Ticketmaster running them! Might try pre-sale and gen sale and see which comes up best.

Also £65 for best tickets!

busybeeburns · 19-09-2011, 09:26 AM

there'll always be the 10th Dec, a second show will pop up. you just know it will happen!

Eve81 · 19-09-2011, 09:27 AM

my dream: O2 and Coldplay!!!!
Hope I will get a ticket...

Nattatouille · 19-09-2011, 09:29 AM

^Ha. That's what I was thinking. That massive gap around the O2 means it will go up to 2 days, maybe even 3.

But the Friday night works perfectly for me as I'm working on a Saturday, getting that off would be killer. So I'm going to go for standing on the Friday.

Does anyone know how early you have to queue up at the O2 to get front row? (So much forward thinking)

Hm. I'd do that for Wembley, but will I do it for the O2.... Especially when I'm supposed to be doing my dissertation. Decisions.

and it will be cold...
I did that for wembley too for Muse last year but it was in september not december...

Mimixxx · 19-09-2011, 10:01 AM

Just FYI last time they did arena tours there was no standing, only seated. And the fact that there's a pre-sale suggests the same might be true this time around too.

Oh. Now there's a bummer. I guess I will then be going for floor seats as close to the front as possible

I guess though that means I can turn up dead on time though and not kill my lab instructor any more than I have to.

Mimixxx · 19-09-2011, 10:06 AM

Yeah...hopefully that's not the case this time. But on the VLV tour (apart from the various small free/charity gigs they did) there was no standing until they did the stadium/outdoor arena tour in 2009.

Eve81 · 19-09-2011, 10:08 AM

no standing? can't believe a gig with only seated: it's weird...

Mimixxx · 19-09-2011, 10:14 AM

Well they did. They used to send out assistants into the nosebleed sections and upgrade fans who answered a series of questions correctly to the front row. Which was nice of them, but annoying for those of us a few rows back

I've been to Snow Patrol that was all seated... And same with John Mayer. It's weird, but still it's fun.
