About 15 minutes before the gig there appeared to be almost an entire block on the lower tier on the left hand side empty and lots of gaps elsewhere. However, by the time the lights were going down the place looked well filled to me. If there were gaps (and I would imagine there probably were) there didnt appear to be very many.
The 02 doesnt allow ticket touts on their premises as far as I'm aware and there were also none at the Tube station outside the venue when I arrived there around 3.20 pm. We left for the gig around 7 and made it there for 7.10 and the only people who stopped me to ask me anything were a Ukrainian Tv crew. They asked us to sing, so the guy beside me started 'I Wanna Be Your Man' and we all joined in....
Talking of TV crews, a guy from ABC came into the pub just as we were leaving wanting to interview some Americans - but I dont think there were any there at that stage (SV had to leave us around 6 pm for her pre-show dinner and I think they wouldnt let her leave in case she went outside and re-sold her ticket....As if!).
However, we met up afterwards for a few beers. I had a ridiculously early start, so I decided to forget about getting the last tube back to my hotel as two hours sleep was as good as four. We stayed until about 2.30, I got a cab back for 3 am and then got up again at 5.15 to get to Gatwick for an 8.50 am flight. I was in work two hours later! Needless to say, I havent been very productive. If the above revew is a bit disjointed, take into account that I've basically been in a coma for the last six hours.
