    That’s ridiculous, I had my code, laptop booted up at home, tried logging onto the website at 9 on the dot and got nothing, website not available.. logged in remotely to my machine in work and tried their internet connection and still nothing, website overrun.. Then finally got on... and they’re sold out. Nice one O2 with your 10 priority tickets..

    Odd, I had no hassle getting standing tickets. I was a bit anal though and had the ticketmaster tab open and hit F5 at 9am, bypassed the o2 blueroom site because I noticed it was acting up at a few minutes to 9.

    Just found out my sister didn't get tickets either :( hopefully everyone will have more luck on Friday!

    Ya, nice one for that link..managed to get 2 seated tickets...
    That O2 priority was totally overwhelmed, couldn't get a sniff of it..

    Just wondering, if you have seated tickets can you go to the standing area?

    No but some people here have said they've been able to sneak in which I wouldn't recommend. The better option is to either trade with people on sites like toutless.com or see if the O2 Angels know anyone who wants to trade.

    me and the girlfriend also missed out on 02 priority tickets this morning
    gutted!!
    the one time i ever used the priority code!!
    what do you guys think friday morning?,,would you go online or kiosk to get tickets?
    im living in cork.
    im afraid of ticketmaster crashing on friday and being stuck with no tickets which i cant even contemplate.
    florence is far and above both of our favourite artists so i absolutely must get tickets:(

    I got on to purchase tickets from her site, then the pc stalled yet came back to the page and still offered me tickets. I purchased them, but for some reason I dont feel sure that I genuinely have them, that it may be a scam thats why it redirected. Did anyone get verification from her site that they had tickets secured ?

    sound JJ, i'm happy enough with that, just glad i managed to get tickets, i'm normally so unlucky with this... most concerts worth going to sell out in a couple of minutes and i'm never one of the lucky ones..... this time though.

    would've thought that a good vantage point for a F&TM gig would add to the whole experience too, well we'll see in March... :D

    Judging by the comments here, it sounds like it would. She sold out 2 Olympia gigs over a year ago and could've sold out more. Word has gotten around about how amazing those shows were. Her second album is selling like hot cakes here in Ireland so this all looks like a recipe for a sell out show at The Point.

    Also, I'm surprised nobody's mentioned that the O2 advert with Cosmic Love playing in the background will finally "be played out" or "come to life".

    Got 2 tickets after a lot of refreshing. Don't really mind where the seats are. Most seats now in the o2 are pretty good its not like years ago when you had to try and look around the big poles.

    Wanted to get some tickets for my GF so went on to the site. They had no standing and only seating on the top tier and right at the back, so fvck that i said and gave them up. Friday morning it is so.

    I wonder how many of standing & seated tickets priority is allocated?

    I had a feeling these would be the seats they would have on offer with the O2 priority code. I got these seats for KOL back in December. They were the worst seats ever you could barely see the stage it was so far away and my eyesights pretty good :cool:. We were right at the back just a few rows from the back wall. Just curious does anyone know if these seats are the ones always on offer with the o2 presale?

    I got o2 presales for kasabian last year and was in block A, could only see half the stage since the speakers obscured the rest, the angle I was at was so acute. Raging, I was!

    Does anyone who got tix from the Florence website know what seats they were allocated? It didn't say anything in the confirmation email I received?

    I've sat there a few times before, when friends got priority tickets, so it's possible.
    I hope i manage to get tickets on Friday morning, cos if i miss out, already having turned down some sh1te tickets my GF will go bananas!

    I posted this previously:

    I can't see an extra Dublin date on the Saturday because she's playing Bournemouth on the Sunday but we're the first date of the tour so they could add an extra date on 1st March unless they need more set up time after Olly Murs on 29th February.

    I had sh1te seats at the Olympia one of her gigs last year and still thoroughly enjoyed myself. sh1te seats at the Olympia are probably worse than sh1te seats at The Point. You might be kicking yourself on Friday.

    Hopefully Rammstein blow up the stage enough on the 27th stopping him but allowing Florence :pac:

    So what does everyone reckon be best to go for in the morning seating or standing???

    I got tickets no problem for the first date last time she played standing but have gotten so sick of standing at gigs lately cause im tall people give me so much hassle at gigs.

    The amount of women who tried to push me aside and push infront of me last time i went see Florence was so ****ing annoying glad i stood me ground ha.

    Never been in the standing section in o2 but always managed to get decent seats.

    I am also lanky and I get the same crap, but it's not gonna stop me from standing! Its not our fault we are genetically superior to the short-arses! If they complain about not been able to see then they should be the ones in the seats!
