So i managed to get 1 ticket this morning for macklemore. I dont normally go to concerts, never been to the o2 and never used ticketmaster, so i was a bit out of my depth trying to get a ticket but managed to secure one of my phone. I clicked on the best available option. i got a ticket in Section GA1, Row G2 Seat XXX. So i can only assume this is a standing ticket. Is the standing section divided (Im G2, is there a G1?). Also you know at concerts there's that semi circle right in front of the stage (gold circle or mosh pit), if i queue early in the day will i get into that section or is that for specific ticket holders? Any ideas?

Yeah I'm guessing G2 is the gate entrance that you go into. They probably will hand out passes if you queue early, don't think there is early entry tickets.

Each standing ticket is given a seat number too, it helps control numbers sold sold or something. The entrance will be on the ticket, it'll be 1 or 3 for standing. There may be a pit, its fairly uncommon though.

Got to agree with eyesclosed o2 isn't big enough for a pit area.

Never seen or heard of one there before

Managed to get standing tickets for the Saturday night. Never been to the O2 for a concert so few questions:) Staying at the Maldron hotel, is it long walk to get to the O2? And how early should we be there to queue to get as close to the stage as possible? We're in section GA1 if makes any difference :P

First time Muse played it, Green Day too and few others. Its less common now though!

The 02 stopped doing pits after the Rage Against The Machine gig in 2010. It just doesn't work.

Does anyone have any idea of how many people the standing area in the o2 can take then?
Just curious as to how quickly those tickets sold! Managed to get standing tickets for it, barely!

The O2 holds 12,000 or so doesn't it? So I'd imagine it holds about 4,000.

Didn't find the O2 a good arena when I was there for Red Hot Chili Peppers. I only go standing in concerts but in the O2 it was just too warm and there was no room to go moshing etc. It was ridiculously squashed so can it will be probably worse at Macklemore. The Olympia is far better in my opinion.

Might get a ticket for the 14th over the summer as I'm sure there'll be many sales as there always is on donedeal etc.

No room at the 02????? I thinks its a great venue for space since it doesnt matter where you are you can still see . I do like the Olympia but if you are near the back or even half way back your view is cut off by nearly half . Sure arent most sold out gigs gonna be squashed?

After party on the 14th after the show!

hmmmmmm this is turning into a very expensive 2 weeks of gigs

SV

God dammit, the second I get some money together something like this comes along and I'm just forced to spend it.

Well, safe to say the 14th of September is gonna be a good day for me
Will be trying VERY hard to get tickets for this one, I predict they'll sell out in a minute though.

Hope everyone got sorted this morning, its by far the most twitchy i have been buying tickets constantly hitting f5!

I got sorted but as far as I can tell there is still tickets available?
Was definitely expecting it to sell out in seconds but I'm guessing people aren't that interested in just an aftershow party! Or aren't aware of it?


Anyway, can easily say that the 14th of September is gonna end up being probably one of the best nights of the year!

Who's playing at the After Party? It's hardly Macklemore :P

Those DJs from what I can make out but sure ya never know what might happen! definitely beats the alternative of just going out after the gig (which is what I was gonna do anyway)

Oleg Luzhny

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis will definitely be at it. It says "Macklemore & Ryan Lewis & Very Special Guests". And then it mentions a few DJs that will also be there. Chance The Rapper will probably be one of those special guests seeing as he's supporting them at the O2. They wouldn't be charging that much money if Macklemore & Ryan Lewis weren't going to be there.

Hello. I'm looking for one single standing ticket for the 15th. If anyone is selling one or knows anyone selling one please message me!

RabbitHearted

There appears to still be standing tickets available on ticketmaster as far as I can see? also my friend(I know that sounds a bit dodgy but it is genuine, she just doesn't have a boards acc.) is pretty desperate to get rid of 1 seated ticket for the Saturday. If anyone's interested PM me and I'll pass on the info

Pulled from wiki:

The arena has a capacity of over 14,500 (standing) or 9,500 (seated). Retractable seating may be withdrawn to create space for 8,000 standing in front of the stage, with the remainder seated.

So I guess it's 8,000 standing tickets, I always thought there was more.

It may not work but a small pit at the front would be nice, just so you dont have to deal with the usual scum arriving in right before the headliner claiming "My friend/brother/mother/uncle/personal Jesus is up there let me through!"
