piggy Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Managed to get two general admission tickets for the Saturday :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollyc Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 OK, I got tickets this morning but messed up! I forgot it's Emirates and not Wembley so went for General Admission which I guess means no unreserved seating as it does at Wembley! Be honest - what is the standing experience like? I am happy to do it, in fact at Wembley last time I was wishing I was with all the people down there having fun from sitting in my seat in the clouds! Not sure about the hubby though. We wouldn't be desperate to get to the front or anything, not even half way, but to be able to see some of the staging would be good and am worried we'll miss out on that. I'm not 100% sure bit since there was no where to buy lower tier seats I'm assuming that the general admission tickets cover the lower tier seats as well. Thats how it has worked any pretty much all stadium shows for a variety of gigs I've been to, not just at Wembley. I guess we'll find out on Friday when the rest of the tickets go on sale. If there's still no lower tiered seats then it must be unreserved. I can't stand for that long so prefer to have seated tickets and due to the fact I'm not sure what time I'll be able to get to the stadium on the Friday I managed to get 2nd row in the top tier just before the half way line which suits me perfectly.

Ollyc Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Does anyone know which end of the stadium the stage is going to be...it makes choosing tickets a bit of a lottery! :\ I'm pretty sure the stage will be on the right hand side as you look at the stadium plan (in front of blocks 21-28 lower tier). I'm only guessing that as initially it gave me seats in block B53 in the middle tier which is behind one of the goals at the other end - unless they are using a 360 degree stage?

satnam_mann Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Really easy to get 2 standing tickets this morning, now just need to swap one for the O2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilrufc Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Got two general admission tickets this morning :) I did go for seated tickets at first but the site crashed. When I returned to the ticket selection page, it was only offering ticket numbers 1, 3 or 5 so went for the general admission. I kind of guessed that general admission was for standing? I have not been to a concert in a long time. If the tickets are for unreserved seating, do we risk the chance of me and my Wife being split up or are you guided to seating by the stewards? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks if they run it like Wembley, you just roll up and choose where to sit. we queued early and got in when the gates opened so could pretty much choose where to sit. no-one directed you. we entered on Guy's side and walked across the standing area to seats on Jonny's side and chose about half way up the block so we had a good view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tash Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 And I bought one of the signed tour programmes as well :dance: Was that a special offer for O2 customers or will they also be available on Friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likeafire Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Was that a special offer for O2 customers or will they also be available on Friday? Yeah they were selling these at £28, not sure if it is available on friday but its best to just check it out anyway. I got general admission tickets, and apparently we can sit where we want? but what if we end up choosing seats that have already been booked by someone else? Also, have the support acts been announced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tash Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 £28, ouch! But if they also sell them on Friday I think I will buy one anyway :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the 2nd and 3rd tiers have seats allocated. Also, just a minor thing but the signed programmes were £25 - or at least they were when I got mine. I'm sure they'll be available on Friday too, I can't see them not wanting to maximise sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tash Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I need some help! I want to buy tickets tomorrow and according to ticketmaster.co.uk there will be pitch standing and reserved seating tickets available. But pitch standing says Level 1 Unreserved Seating. What does that mean? And according to the Summertime Ball seating chart there will be a blue circle, can you also buy tickets for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueDeNimes Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 It'll be the same than at the Wembley concerts then: When you have a pitch standing ticket you can choose to stand OR go to have a seat anywhere in Level 1. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesfish Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Wow I am getting pretty excited now, I just hope I will be able to get through to the arsenal disabled line tomorrow morning, good luck everybody, hopefully second time lucky for me, I HAVE to be at one of these concerts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I was thinking isn't this on the Diamond Jubilee weekend? If so, if you've got tickets, book hotels/flights ASAP, London will be busy that weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you still need to queue up for hours to be sure of getting one do you think? What happened at Wembley? It's just my friend i'm going with really wants seats rather than standing tickets, so i just thought if i can't get any decent reserved seating tickets in the morning, should i just take my chances with the unreserved seating/standing tickets instead? :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
