JAC185 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Can not fucking wait. Had to cave and get a ticket despite having no money, nobody to go with and no way to get home afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazel Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 It'll be worth it, I wouldnt worry about that. I've managed to convince the girlfriend to come B'ham with me, and my sister loves the band and is coming to Manchester. But even then, I'd of gone on my own. Been to the O2 before?Its a fantasic venue, sound is superb. Saw the Eagles there a few years ago, was a great atmosphere due to the intimate structure of the place.Its a big arena, but its built up and around, with a fairly small surface area for a place of that capactity.

JAC185 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Yeah I've seen NIN and AC/DC there. Coincidentally perhaps two of the best gigs I have ever been to. Totally agree about the o2. So much better than Wembley Arena in terms of sound, layout, everything - and given the setlists lately I am expecting this to be even better than 2006.

yes i love you Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Got my ticket for this this morning. Im going to all 4 of the UK shows. The o2 Arena is a great venue, its actually the most popular venue in the world based on the sheer volume turnover of HUGE acts that choose to play here and nowhere else. Michael Jackson chose his 50 niht residency here etc..Its not just a concert space either, the arena contains many resturants, exhibitions, a cinema, interactive bits and bars- so you could literally make a day of being in the building.The only trouble is the tube wont run past midnight- so theres going to be ALLOT of people getting busses- im gunna get in verry LATEEither way- I dont care, Its GNR and i see them every 4 years so it HAS to be done, they were amazing in Lille Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazel Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Anybody know the capacity of the o2?Definetly over 20,000. Probably nearer 23,000.I'm hoping nothing goes wrong after the Dublin gig too. I'd like to say I have faith in my countrymen, but I don't. All went fine in 2006 though right? (Newcastle aside)And the band are in a better position now (CD release etc). Edited October 11, 2010 by Azazel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scaramouche Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Anybody knows how many standing places there are? And if you want to queue outside for the standing area, do you have to go to a special gate or something? Never been to O2 before.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been to O2 before..Not sure on numbers but you'll be able to get into the 'o2' itself all day because it has restaurants and things inside. As you walk round there will be various different entrances for both seating and standing. On my standing ticket it says which entrance to go to and I think they stay the same regardless of gig so anytime of day you should be able to see where you want to queue.

plonker88 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Just an FYI for whoever it concerns, the earliest train out of London is anytime after about 3-3:30 from Paddington Station. It will cost you about £40-60 taxi fare to get there or take on of these bus routes.If that link expires then this website should help you plan your way home from the o2.I will be so gutted if they do a surprise show after the second date as I could only afford to buy one ticket and got one for the first show as it was the first to be announced. Knowing I missed out of the chance of seeing this band in such a small environment would be a huge bummer. How in the world some of you guys can afford to go see all four shows is beyond me. Would love to have that sort of financial freedom. I hate you all Hopefully Ron's Beard will help me out and send a free backstage pass my way I believe in The Beard.Oh yeah, 2 days! Fucking pumped for this show! Edited October 11, 2010 by plonker88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
