This is bizarre, SEATWAVE.CO.UK is now showing 80 GA tongue pit tickets available for the 25th, that's the most there's ever been since tickets when on sale whenever it was back in October ? Where the blazes have these suddenly come from ? Weird !
Still asking over £1K, so I ain't gonna be biting yet ....

And they will, if available, upgrade your seats from Upper tier to Lower tier or Floor when asked (they also do this about an hour or so from show time on the 1st floor inside the O2, at the top of the escalator to your right as you go in the main entrance).

Aren't they people selling their tickets for a profit?

For free or..?
Yes, definitely for free. Last time I did it was when I took Pam to see Barbra Streisand and we were way up on the top 4th tier and we got put in the 1st row of the lower tier.Quote

That's right. I was on my way to block 412 for the 2nd O2 show in 2007, and ended up in 110 absolutely free. Look out for people in blue polo shirts with the O2 logo embroidered on at the top of the escalator. With a great big stash of tickets in their hands.

Yep - who'd a thunk it.
At the time I was told that they were from a block of seats reserved for Greenwich residents, which was part of the venue's licencing agreement, and that if they haven't been taken up, they are offered to those in the nosebleeds.

We certainly were (and the top price for her concerts was £500 face value, and I'd paid for £50 seats !!)

On ebay I see a number of auctions for concert tickets that end after the events have taken place, like this one:

What's the point of that?

So tdo what do you attribute this, as a matter of interest ? On this side of the pond, I'm just rather puzzled by the fact that as the day of the first show draws ever closer, the number of tickets going up for sale in some quarters does actually seem to be increasing ? Surely it should be the other way round ........... shouldn't it ?

Maybe it has something to do with a lot of people now having their tickets in hand knowing they need money back for them ASAP?
A pair of £406 tickets went on eBay today for £540. Take the eBay/Paypal fees off and it's nearly a free ticket being given away by the seller. That'll burn!
