But I finally get a seat for the 29th, not a "lower tier", but not the worst either, with a discount: BK421 row A. I am very happy, I really wanted to go and could't pay 400 £, wanted to pay aound 200 £ and at the end paid 300 £.
Now THAT is a pretty damm good last minute drop one has to say ! Jesus Christ .... the games they play ! It's enough to make you despair !
[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]
F***ing amazing, and depressing !! I'm stunned.
[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]
That COULD well happen, and I bet it's what the scalpers still hanging onto those tickets are counting on .......

@siter marie - are you all set now? If not you can email me as I'm still trying to help out a friend and that might happen by going for a two ticket deal.

Yeah saw it too, alternating with 110 seats but it was on the 110 side of 111, although I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes with a 111 seat on the 112 side in the heat of the action...

Well, I guess the only difference it makes is that you're closer to the stage by the width of the block (35 seats), which run from numbers 323 (110 side) to 357 (112 side).
That's why 112 is such a good block, because basically as long as you're somewhere in say the first 10-12 rows and between say numbers 363 to 379, you're pretty much in the optimum location out of the entire stadium. Not too close, not too far, a bit of elevation, decent "angle of cut" so to say (in other words not fully "side on") .... it's always my first choice for gigs at the O2.
I'm on the opposite side (101) for Sunday and good ole 112 for Thursday, so well happy. As much as I'd have loved to be in that pit for the Sunday, just couldn't bring myself to bestow over £150 in fees alone to SEATWAVE on top of an 800 or £900 ticket cost, or whatever the silly sods were asking.
gotdablouse - hope to meet you at the Pilot Inn on Sunday, I plan on being there around 5:30 pm. All the best, cheers .............. and WE GOT THERE IN THE END !!
Luuuuuuuuuuurv the Rolling Stones !!

Thanks for the insight in that message and in all your previous ones!
Yeah looking forward to meeting all you guys too at the Pilot Inn too. Not sure at what time I'll have to leave though as I may want to queue up a bit early for the pit...

Oh and I just came across this nice detailed chart showing all the rows in the "trader" section, apparently it's from seatgeek. I'm not sure how they came up with the row numbers, possibly based on tickets being offered...It shows that an A3/G=A2/A for instance. It also shows that there are no O rows, probably to avoid any confusion with the 0.

OK, still seems to be 1800 tickets left to shift for Thursday. Anyone else on the board with nerves of steel holding out for the last possible moment?
I'm only after one, so anyone in a similar position who might want to split a pair, get in touch!

I'll make a prediction. Pit and A Block tickets will go UP in price. I think the Stones are going to blow people away, and there aren't enough premium seats to go around.

A pair of tickets in B2 for tomorrow just went on ebay for £1220. The lower tiers seem to going for face value. The bargains are the Level 4 seats which are not shifting. There are several listings at around £400 for a pair but there is no interest. Would be tempted myself but I have a problem with heights. Maybe a couple of beers beforehand would help.

You guys with pit tickets should meet at the Pilot Inn AFTER the show. I would line up as early as you can. Why take a chance?

I thought we had paid a lot for our Pit tickets,but it's starting to look like we timed it just right with the ebayers when we bombarded them with low offers and messages using good cop - bad cop approach
