November 11, 201114 yr As an Arsenal fan, this is gig will be bloody brilliant (if I manage to get tickets that is!) Same! One question: Why not Wembley? :(
November 11, 201114 yr Same! One question: Why not Wembley? :( Play off finals/England game scheduled for that weekend
November 11, 201114 yr I think my mum would disown me if she found out I was stepping foot on Emirates soil.
November 11, 201114 yr I think my mum would disown me if she found out I was stepping foot on Emirates soil. Hahah. :D
November 11, 201114 yr Also Wembley is probably being preserved for 2012 olympic (i no the emirates is being used aswell but wembley is the centre peice
November 11, 201114 yr The Emirates? :shocked2: :cry: The ban on cheering is lifted for concerts, right?
November 12, 201114 yr Arsenal members & O2 customers it seems Yep. So excited, got two chances of presale before general sale.
November 12, 201114 yr Wow, I thought the London stadium threads would explode with people saying they'd go... :thinking: All those gigs are right in the period of my final exams so no chance for me to go. I'm only sad I won't be able to meet up with people from here though... Good luck to everyone trying to get tickets! :nice: Check out for me if the Banksy is still across the street of the stadium when you get there. :) http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/content/image_galleries/banksy_gallery.shtml?20
November 12, 201114 yr I think that the fact that it's Emirates and not Wembley has put people off, especially those outside of the UK. It's just not the same kind of "event" that Wembley is. The idea of these shows is a bit of a miss step, I think. I'm not sure why they didn't just do an arena tour next year and the tackle stadiums after the Olympics when better venues were available. Also people outside of London who may have considered going but already have tickets to the Olympics might decide not to due to the fact that it's so close to games, but not close enough to extend their stay. The fact that they're putting them on sale just before Christmas doesn't help either. £50 is alot of money to start with nevermind when you're preparing for the most expensive time of year. I can barely afford one, this one, if there's tickets left for the 1st night after Christmas I might go.
November 12, 201114 yr I think they (or rather their handlers) probably feel they need to capitalize on whatever momentum they've got, and waiting would push the big gigs back too far. You have some really good points though.
November 12, 201114 yr If they are playing stadiums, they could have played St Marys in Southampton :P Afterall isn't Guy a Saints fan ;)
November 12, 201114 yr If they are playing stadiums, they could have played St Marys in Southampton :P Afterall isn't Guy a Saints fan ;) I'm pretty sure Guy has said he's not a fan of sport. Could be wrong though. Seems like they're playing some less common cities for a stadium tour this time though, so I guess anything's possible.
November 12, 201114 yr Question: Im an o2 customer. How do i go about getting priority tickets? P.S. I want them for ricoh arena not emirates, but no-one is on that thread so thought i would post it here.
November 13, 201114 yr If they are playing stadiums, they could have played St Marys in Southampton :P Afterall isn't Guy a Saints fan ;) It's Will :)

Hi - Go onto the O2priority site and it gives you details on how to sign-up and then on wednesday you will have the option to buys tickets. Cheers
November 13, 201114 yr Hi - Go onto the O2priority site and it gives you details on how to sign-up and then on wednesday you will have the option to buys tickets. Cheers Thank you. much appreciated. Im guessing ill have to wake up at 9am on the dot to get tickets as they will sell out fast lol
November 13, 201114 yr Reading the site, it looks like there is only going to be a certain amount of tickets for the O2 priority customers, so you need to be on the computer ready to go for at least 8-55, waiting for the link to become live.
November 13, 201114 yr It's Will :) Close enough :P But still they could play down Southampton FC ground, it's big enough
November 13, 201114 yr The Emirates? :shocked2: :cry: The ban on cheering is lifted for concerts, right? Well it is probably because I'm American, but I don't get it :P ?
