aka accounts 2010

Sweet, missed them at EP last year and wasn't sure when I'd get another chance to see them.

Nice. Didn't think they'd be big enough for the O2, especially given the latest direction they taken.

grudgehugger

Excellent - didn't float my boat at EP last year as the first 30 minutes was so downbeat.

Standalone show @ the O2 should suit them better - and delighted that it's a Saturday night.

Will be heading along...

This will sell out. Might even be a second night.

I wouldn't be so sure. Did the Olympia show sell out when they were touring Takk...?

It didn't sell out instantly but it certainly sold out pretty quickly and there was plenty of demand for tickets after. I reckon the good tickets on this will sell out fairly smart but the nosebleeds will hang around for a while after. Wouldn't think a second night will happen to be honest.

Yeah, checking old posts, it looks like it sold out in about a week.

That said, I would be very surprised if they sold out the O2.

Saw them in Glasgow at the SECC a few weeks ago, superb gig, real return to form for me. Obviously nothing will ever beat seeing them supporting Godspeed! You Black Emperor in the TBMC (as was) years ago, that was one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

ballsymchugh

saw them in brixton a couple of weeks ago. the gig was excellent. they're not made for outdoor at a festival, so i wouldn't be too downbeat about any EP gigs they had.
i'd imagine there'd be plenty going to this from the UK too. all the gigs here were sold out.

Course it sold out. That show will be 3 albums ago and yep it'll sell out.

It will 100% sell out, but not straight away. Gotta get my tickets that Friday!

Any idea on what price tickets will be? Thursday is pay day and I may feel the need to splurge! (If my overdraft isn't too big by then).

Nice one, I'll be using O2 priority for this.

Best birthday present I could ask for!!!! It will be the second time I am going to see them, the first back in 2003 was one of the most important live music experiences of my life!!!

I thought they were deadly at EP. Even the sound check was musical.

LeftBlank

Does anyone know will this be all seated?

delbertgrady

At present, the accompanying floor plan on Ticketmaster is fully seated, though that could be an error. It has happened in the past that the default floor plan was amended before it went on sale.

The Phantom Jipper

Anyone familiar with the o2 able to suggest which would be the best seats to go for if given the choice? Or am I overthinking it and is it the closer the better?

Thanks.

What exactly are the early entry tickets? Any reason not to get them?

They will get you in at 6:00 and everyone else will have to wait for 6:30.

When they played in the Olympia, the tickets from Sigur Ros site came with a wirstband for the pit and that worked really well.

Early entry tickets are gone. Managed to grab 2.

Bought seating tickets but no indication of where they are at all for me?

Very nice seats alright, thanks for that!

Missed out on the early entry tickets, anyone know if there will be more available on the O2 priority bookings on Thursday?

Think ill hold out until then as I'd rather just have my ticket emailed to me rather than wait for the official site to post it to me.
