Two quick questions regarding the gig:

1) I have an O2 priorty booking code, selected 2 standing tickets and the code worked fine, however, it comes up with the ''the tickets you have selected are unavailable''. The seated tickets work fine though. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong, or are they just sold out.

2) If I can't get any good of the above, I'll be on first thing Friday morning (which is when they go on general sale). Will I definitely get two standing at that time (seating is not much good to me), or is it going to be an F5 refreshing contest in which I could lose out?

Thanks.

green day rule

*Canceled* its on his twittter page

ThinkAboutIt

No it's not?

Doublechinlolz

He's just trolling it's not cancelled. And I heard a rumour about nicki supporting too. And it's quite plausible because her album is out on the 14th of February as far as I know, so it would be good promotion!

im thinkin its between the dream, tyga or weeknd

green day rule

Im really really sorry i got mixed up with threads

dee.

Anyone know how well this is selling? I'm thinking about going but can't get a ticket for about a month or so, hoping it won't sell out!

edit: Ah crap, standing tickets all sold out

Mikeyt086

Anybody know of any standing tickets going? Sold out on ticketmaster on none floating on DoneDeal.ie, would really like to go to this, but seated? No thanks...

Colm!

Do you have a source for this?

I've read rumors online that he has cancelled his tour to be with his mother who is seemingly very ill.....

Anyone else heard about this? Or knows if its true?

You might be able to help me with something

How big is the floor area? Might be arriving late but will try to avoid it if it means I'm stuck miles away from the stage. I've been to only one gig there previously and floor area looked pretty small so you can't really be too far away but maybe the layout varies per concert...?

Cheers

The floor in The O2 is the widest of any arena I've been to, so even anyone at the sound desk is relatively close in comparison to most arenas as it's wide rather than long if that makes sense.

He cancelled a show at Live at the Marquee about 2 years ago. I think it was his uncle that was sick.

Depends what way the house staff put down the mojo barriers, im pretty sure its the full standing capacity. It's generally quite easy to budge your way to the front. You generally have good sightlines no matter where you stand unless you're completely at the side of the stage.

Do you know how many (roughly) people will be in the standing area if its full standing capacity?

pistonsvox

14,500 according to wikipedia seated + standing, so i'd imagine... 10,000? I've never actually counted the balcony seats haha

DDDDDeannnnn

Was gonna buy a ticket to see Kendrick and A$AP,praise the lord I didn't.

I think it's something along the lines of 8,000 or so.
