Anyone sit in either of these blocks Sunday ?, thoughts welcome

From these photos they look like they could be pretty good seats after all

I was in 113 row M (about 4 rows from front). Fabulous seats. You can't see the full screen but who needs to when you are so near the action?

- and I was in the next seat! Nice to meet you, Lady Jayne.

You can't see the videos very well, but you're right next to the stage - and Mick seemed to know that All The Best People were in 113 and gave us quite a lot of attention. Certainly the pick of the cheaper seats (mine was face value £226).

Good to meet you too Green Lady and glad to see you got home ok - I had to take the bus!

Me too - missed the last Piccadilly and had to take night bus+taxi. I wasn't the only one either - London is full of Stones fans thrown off the Tube in the middle of nowhere and trying to find their way home. START ON TIME NEXT TIME, FELLAS!

That sounds very inconvenient. Did you guys leave the venue right after the show? what time does the tube stop, midnight? Having left early in 2007, I was planning on staying until the very last bow before leaving this time. I NEED to get back to my hotel by 1:00 a.m. for a telephone call.

Just got back to the rainy North-West of England - I was in row L, Block 113

We were level with Darryl and Keith's mikes, great view, great sound, as close to the band as I have ever been and - as said above - lots of attention from Mick, Keith and Ronnie.

Report elsewhere - but really great show!

You'll be ok on Thursday. Sunday some of the last tubes were before midnight which was the problem. I left straight after the show but there was a long queue to get into the tube at Greenwich and missed the last train on my connection. Well worth it to get nearly 2.5 hours of Stones!

Was 101 then 118... this pic is 101:

You must have been just in front of us. I think our block got a lot of attention because many of the band families (certainly the Richards') were standing just below us. The sound was fantastic - I still can't hear quite right in one ear!

Sounds like it! Yes, I also saw a few of the family members below plus Jerry Hall who actually ventured briefly into the Pit ...
...ears now begiining to recover

Cheers for the info guys. I paid £150 face value for my 113 seat so am pretty stoked

I was in block 118 last night, row V, £400. The seat was great, brilliant view and i would recommend this location.

Hi all! (In particular Room1009)....


I landed the following tickets for Thursday's show:

Block 113,
113, Row: U, Seat: 402,403

This seems more or less opposite what Room1009 had in Block 118.

How could it be that those seats are face at 400, while others in the section are 226 or 150? Is there really that much of a difference?

I also have seats in 103 which I could exchange for, just want to make sure I am making the right decision here!

THANKS!

Cheers.......steve

The price difference does seem a bit odd

I got mine the day they went on sale

Seat location: section BK 113, row Q
Total Charge: £171.50

Hmmm....makes me wonder. I got my tickets during the Eventim Facebook presale.

Room1009 also paid the same as I. Room1009, could you provide a picture of your view? (Am taking a girly friend for her first show, so I am quite keen to get it right!!!!

Thanks for your input guys!

I will be way up on the side (206) in Brooklyn. Were there any video screens on the sides? I can't see anything in the pics but I thought I read somewhere that there are screens on the sides as well.

It must have been a great show if people are calling those seats good. A good seat is one where I can see the chords Keith is playing without looking at the video monitor or through binoculars. Sounds like the crowd was pretty decect in any case. peace

I was in 113, Row L 419 last night - seats in 113 L started at 412
looking at the seat plan, the other side of the stairs seems to be Blk 112, seats 411 downwards so you would be a bit higher up and further away...
...but more diagonal facing and not quite so much of a side view of the band.
Might depend on what row the 113 seats are - J was the front row, L was row 3!!

I was in block 113, Row V, seat 406. It's very close to the stage especially if you get lower down the block. The screen is obscured a little and you can't see it at all when the lips are still in place.

The pricing of the seats seems odd. I got mine from Seatwave on Friday for £226+fees expecting it to be a cheaper seat but when I collected, it was a £406 ticket. Bearing in mind how good the show was last night I came away thinking I got a bargain.

There's some footage on youtube from 113 if you want to check the view.

This is great news !!! I am in 113 on Thursday.

Thanks for the tip! Now it is starting to make sense!

CHEERS!

View from Block 118:



NB - the seating plans on Google images are incorrect. Block 118 is not as far behind the stage as it is shown.

How were the first couple rows in the side sections? Were they great or are there obstructions near the bottom? I'm assuming no video screens on the side.

The face value of my ticket was £406. My seat was exactly in line with the lip of the main stage where all the action was. Row V was actually the 8th or 9th row in that section. The banking is quite steep at o2 so views were unobstructed. Couldn't see the main screen much until the tongue thing lifted, had to strain my neck to see the smaller side screens. View was great, no complaints.
