Standing tickets were gone a few weeks ago. They must have released more around the time the advertising started.

My mate got 4 standing on Saturday!

Yeah, I heard they were gone but then I bought two standing tickets about four weeks ago (whenever I first posted in this thread). And then we got my friend one as a birthday present last weekend. Must have released a large enough amount! Weird way of doing things...

Im just after winning tickets to the opening of Rock of Ages the same night :mad: . So hopefully it starts early enough and be over before 9 , think the girl on the phone said it was at 7pm so i should be out before 9 so hopefully i can get on the luas and be there in time or just miss a few Blink songs .

I duno, last time blink played the o2, there was no pit and the place was jammers in the standing section and near the front it was really bad.

The pit breaks up the crowd a bit and for some gigs I think its needed.

Agreed. And there were a lot of arseholes there too who were making it worse. I spent most of the gig over at the side of the stage. I don't think standing was even sold out last time

CMpunked

I understand totally that pits have merits but for those people who can't get there and queue from 11am owing to work/travel etc and have to view the gig from the side of the stage (which was the only place to stand with the o2s pit layout) its more beneficial as at least your in front of the band.

StaticAge11

The pit was a disaster at the O2 and I hope they never bring it back. Was there for Muse and it was so damn cramped behind the pit it was almost unbearable. Been to the O2 plenty of times since: RATM, Paramore twice, Blink 182, MCR, Kasabian twice, as well as a few others: and it is so much better without the pit. Found myself able to get pretty close most times, without much cramping and given the fanbases of some of those bands I expected plenty of jostling. However I was pleasantly surprised and had enjoyable hassle free gigs each time

languagenerd

I disagree, it was horrible without the pit at the last blink show! There was a crush just to get in when they opened the doors and I would have been trampled if some random guy hadn't grabbed my shoulders and pulled me through with him (thanks, random guy, if you're reading :P).
And I've never seen so many people push backwards during the first two songs! It was genuinely hard to breathe at times... At one point I turned around to talk to a friend between the two bands and I couldn't turn back around when blink came on cause there wasn't space! (I was about 10 rows from the front at that point).

Wasn't that badly squashed at any other gig, including Rise Against, Anti-Flag, Green Day, Foos...

Totally agree, except I'm pretty sure it was sold out...

Ah right, I got my ticket not too long before the gig so assumed it wasn't! I know what you mean about the pushing when they opened the doors, we were probably 1/4 of the way from the top of the queue and people were just pushing and walking on others. My friend and I were basically pulling each others arms so we wouldn't get separated. It was ridiculous. Same thing inside when Blink came on, I was about 2/3 rows from the front but all of the pushing and trampling i ended up about 7/8 rows back then just had to move out. I moved over to the side of the stage by myself (got separated from my friends) and some d1ckhead came over and started elbowing his way in past me and digging into my ribs, at that point I lost it and confronted him about it.

I have been to loads of concerts and never seen any crowd that inconsiderate and physically rough..hoping it's not like that again next week.

CMpunked

I just had flashbacks of the last show and yeah, the crowd was a nightmare. People kept doing that moving forward and back thing. Wrecked my head. But the security was no where to be seen. Other gigs I was at we're straight in if any of that shīt started.
Hope they are more alert next week!

happened to me i qued from very early in the day , had a group of people younger than me thinkin they were cool cause they were at a blink concert, one guy from the gruop actually pushed over 2 girls that were keeping to their selfs jus to try get up that little bit further, they got a few slaps and a dig cuase there was no need for it and people around us agreed to , iv noticed the groups have changed at concerts i kinda was descusted at the blink gig last year, i was up the front for the first 5 or 6 songs and had to get taking out , it just wasnt worth it , it got really bad at stages

StaticAge11

I was about 3 rows back from the barrier in front of Tom and was grand last time, but a few of my mates were over at the barrier in front of Mark and had to get pulled out, they said there were alot of idiots over that side . . . .

i right infront of mark , anybody i was around where the people i was in the que with and by the time the gig came around and we were inside it was like we were mates , kinda looked out for eachother but there was defo fcukin pr*cks around

It was like that for me too when i got backstage in 2004.
There was three others who got back too and we were like lifelong friends at it. Although we had only known each other since like 6 that morning.

Might be a bit late, but the O2 never has a pit the stage is to broad. This isn't just something I made up, we asked staff last night before we went in for Watch The Throne.


On topic, girlfriend got me a ticket for this, hope it's as good as last year!

That wasn't too long after the reopen, and AFAIK was a 'trial period for the pit'. Obviously it didn't meet whatever criteria they had in mind.
