Nov 26^th, 2012 at 5:18pm What's the definitive word on the availability of tickets at or near the 11th hour? I'm trying to gauge if and how long I should wait to grab a ticket to Barclays. I'm going to Newark, but this sh*t is too exciting to miss.

I asked Gazza the same thing...differently...I was wondering about all the empty seats/sections at the O2...here is what
our drunken, partying correspondent had to say:

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....

Reply #6 - Nov 28^th, 2012 at 4:02am I saw reports people were loitering outside the venue looking for tickets, but didnt get any. Must have been a sell out, or lots of lucky people got a last minute gift. Who the fuck cares?
