    Does anyone know how Ticketmaster fill the seats in the O2 ?
    Do they fill them in order, left to right or follow any logical process.
    I have been watching the the ticketmaster site for the past few weeks trying to get 2 seats that are not to the far left or far right, but it always seems to be Block P which is far left and I dont think will provide a decent view.

    For anyone that has been there before : I'm bringing a 4 year old and dont see the sense in spending big money on tickets for something that he wont remember. Will he(the 4 y.o.) be able to see anything from the back tiers ? (33 euro tickets) or should I spend the extra cash (needless to say its not that plentiful and I imagine there will be plenty merchandise to be purchased on the day also)

    Are there big screens or will there be a chance to walk down to be a bit closer to the ring ?

    Is the show likely to sell out, should I be booking soon ?

    Thanks, I'm slowly becoming a fan becuse of the 4 year old..:)

    Mods - sorry if this should be asked in one of the other threads but I didn't see anything suitable.

    There's a thread for the shows somewhere but I'd say it's a fair bit down the pages now. I'll try and answer some questions though.

    Ticket allocation seems to be a bit of a mystery, but I believe they sell in blocks rather than rows. So they'll fill BLOCK A, then BLOCK B, then BLOCK C and so on. I say this because I've had issues on mornings where tickets go on sale where you can be offered Row 5 in BLOCK A, refresh and get Row 1 in BLOCK C. COuld be wrong there though.

    I've always thought kids are better off on higher tiered seating, cause sitting anywhere but the first three rows can be tough for even adults in terms of view. The flat seating can be very unfriendly for little ones. This doesn't stop some parents just lifting kids onto shoulders and blocking everyone elses view, mind...

    As for running down, there is that option. But I'd say it could be dangerous for 4 year olds. There's loads of adults who charge down the aisles between matches (and everyone is forced back to their seats during matches), and it can be a real scramble. I'd worry a four year old would get stamped over. You're talking about 100 people all charging up to the ring every chance they get. And if you're going for seats further back, I think that option may even disappear, since there's no way you'd get up and down in time between matches.

    There's always a load of back row seats available at the shows as far as I know, given there's always blocks empty at the very back. They just added screens but they don't show the matches on them I think, just entrance videos and the odd backstage skit now.

    That said, the layout of the O2 means I think any of the tiered seating has equal views of the ring, so I wouldn't worry about being too left or too right. I think once you're in the tiered seating, a kid should have no problems with what he can see....
