I suspect that for most folks on here still looking it'll only really start getting interesting when they begin offering seats in the lower tier rows in blocks 111/112 and 102/101, but 103 row A is at least moving down the side away from 106/107 - which are about as far away from the stage as you could possibly be. SEETICKETS have been struggling to fill those two particular blocks up for a few weeks now ............
[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]
<<< I quite like 106 and 107 as they are direct view >>>
Really ? Not too far away from the stage end for you ? God, personally I'd hate that location. I reckon 101 and the stage end of 102 on one side, and 112 and stage end of 111 on the other - are probably the best spots. As a matter of interest, have you ever set foot in the uppper tier blocks in the O2 ? Yikes, I nearly got vertigo up there, jeez that is high up there !
[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]
101/102, 111/112, do we still think there will be some offers from the officials TM or Seetickets...? I surely hope so...
I have Paul! I went to all 3 concerts at the O2 in Aug 07 and having spent so much money I restrained myself on the last night and sat in Row A Block 421 (and on the 4th tier Row A definitely is the front row) and yes it is high. So high you didn't want to stand up. I would not go back up there unless it was to see The Second Coming
106 and 107 are a long way back but the B stage was right in front of us and this tongue stage looks as though it will reach well into the arena also. So I do think block 106/107 Row A (or Row AA) is a pretty good ticket if you don't want all the hospitality bollocks some people are paying for
I'm sincerely hoping so myself. I suspect there will be further drops from TM & SEE, and little by little I'd guess they'll be lower letter rows than the proverbial U/V/W/X/Y/Z we've seen to date, and somewhat closer to the stage than 104/105/106/107/108/109. Question is "when", and that's really why I started this thread ... so that when those drops occur, people can notify one another.
[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]
Yes mate, I turned up at a Prince gig and kept getting direct UP. In the end it seemed the seats were about 5 rows from the very back
I took one look, and thought @#$%& that. I asked the security bloke and they moved me down nearer the front of level 4
Horrendous!
<<< TM still saying sold out and steering you to GetMeIn >>>
Indeed, "steering" being the key word in this context ....
[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]
Me too...yes, they are right at the back, but not up in the gods...and the O2 isn't that big, not like being at the back of say, Wembley stadium. what gives the O2 it's capacity is all the raked seating way up high.
Agreed, only been there once, for Muse a couple of years back. Really would prefer to stay down on the lower tier if at all possible, the O2 is worse than the Albert Hall in that respect.
I think it's the Super Bowl stage. Did you ever see that?
I was thinking the same way. I did see 90% of the Stones concerts I attended since 1982 from a standing front row place. It is still hard to accept that I have to pay around 400 GBP to be seated on an upper level.
The problem is when tickets are offered, that you don`t know if the seats are good, cause I don`t know the venue.
But I had made the experience that sometimes on so called "sold out" concerts it`s easier to find desperate scalpers then on other concerts, cause just a few people try to find some tickets and the majority stay at home thinking there is no chance to get one and if, then it`s too expensive. So it could be the way to go..

I think AA is front row 1st tier 106 and 107

I quite like 106 and 107 as they are direct view. Having said that I've got a funny feeling that Row B actually isn't the 2nd row. Don't they do a weird AA,BB,CC thing just to make life even harder? So if you settle for a 1st tier seat (as I'm tempted to do, just to guarantee entry) you really want Row AA. Anyone know for sure?

106 and 107 are a long way back but the B stage was right in front of us and this tongue stage looks as though it will reach well into the arena
Does the stage surround the pit area with Mick able to go all round the outside and maybe facing the A blocks and back to the main stage ???
I just assumed the stage was at the front of the pit,and if you were sitting in A blocks,you had the lucky pit tix holders in front of you all the time.

Yes the consensus seems to be that they will be reusing the Superbowl stage as they've apparently kept every stage they've ever used...but it seems a bit deep to me for the O2, doesn't look right to me when comparing both :

I agree it looks too long. I think there was talk somewhere (maybe something Ronnie said?) of it being a new stage - i.e., the same but smaller. We'll find out soon enough!

Well that was for at stadium, it would not fit in an arena. I reckon it will be half that size, except it does not look like 500 people could fit in a smaller pit unless it is wider. Tell you what having floor seating could be a waste of time given the height of the tongue walkway, hmmm.

My tickets came today for Bloack 107 row D. Still hoping better ones become available and will then eBay these (for 99p start bid no reserve!) so tickets should now be coming into hands.
Want standing tickets within the tongue very desperately but time is running out.
To the person that was aksing about lower tier rows, A is the very front and AA would be row 27, BB 28 etc.

How many more tricks can be played on us? If you see a gibbering wreck outside of the Pilot Inn on the 25th, it's not a beggar........ just me needing a hug after all this stress.

I'm really thinking of flying to London one day before the show without having a ticket in hand. As a "regular" fos fan (90% of all Stones shows I attended was front row standing!) I wouldn't accept seats up in the clouds or similar.So how crazy is my idea to fly there hoping to get lower tier seats at a price less than face value? And where would be the place to find "desperate scalpers" if not outside the O2?

Are you sure ? I saw a floor plan for the tennis games and AA seemed to be first row in the bottom.

Looked at another chart and it is the reverse of what I said (as what you said). It was defintely the case where AA was 27 but I guess it might have been changed. I'm slightly pissed off now as I have row D tickets. Would like to know what the case is currently.

Here is the chart I was refering to :
Confusing that only 106 and 107 have an AA and how does it work, AA, BB, CC,...,ZZ, A ? Or does the double letter stop at some point ? One would hope so and if they did that because 106/107 are longer then it would make sense. What's also confusing is that Seetickets are offering seats numbered 223 in 107...

I was checking the seats being offered on secondary markets, and based on the rows listed, it looks like the floor runs about 45 rows. That's pretty close to the number of rows they typically have on the floor, so the tongue part of the stage isn't that wide. On the other hand, the tix I've seen for Section A2 seem to only extend for less than 10 rows, so maybe the tongue portion juts out into Section A2 for about 10-12 rows.
Frankly, it seems like a completely new stage is being prepared.
