Ive hear dbad things about where my seat is situated but Im not a perfectionist...Ive been stuck at the back of Erals Court, Stuck at teh back of Wemblet Arena, stcuk at the back of Apppollo and was ffolish enough to have tha fan club tickets for Wembley Stadium...whcih turned out to be teh worst place to sit in the whole place.

What i want to know is will I be able to see anything at all of Price or will I just be able to see the drum and keyboards?

Its the last night so as long as I can see something of teh man I dont mind

Judging by what I saw of this block last night I'd say the only time you will see Prince is if he comes round the back of the stage. Last night he went round there 7 or 8 times. Last Tuesday though my brother said he went round there once but others on here have said about 3 times. Unfortunately due to the stage set up you can't see him from there unless he specifically comes to the back of the stage.

Lower tier in the back of everything was good. I also sat on the floor level behind the stage the night before that and it was horrible. It was amazing what a difference being raised just a bit off the floor made.

Oh, and the view was a lot better too. But you're still watching the whole back-end of the show from there.

I dont min dtoo much about watching the back but I dont want my line of sight to be that I can only see him if he's on teh edge of teh back of the satge.

I figure row c is slightly elevated but I dont know fo rsur eand dont have any pix to compare

ok, heres another one....what the chances of me getting away with spotting an empty seet on the sides and plopping myself in there once teh show gets going

Very slim as you have to show your ticket as you enter each specific block through a door, not saying its impossible but would think it wouldnt be as easy as just walking over

Even the lower tiers of the block behind the stage (not on the floor) have a restricted view. I repeat again that if you are seated here you will not see Prince unless he specifically comes around the back of the stage. I was there last night and had a look for myself so take my word for it. With regard to moving seats, they only check you ticket when you access that particular block. Each block has its own entrance. However, I'd say that the chances of finding an empty seat ANYWHERE in the arena on 21st September is going to be very very slim.

When I went on 3rd Aug they never checked tickets as people went in and out to teh toilet once teh show started.

It wa sjsut an idea as I now they keep a few spare seats back fro people who cant handle the heights or pregnant ladies etc.

Seems like im in for a crap night then bummer...Ive had a crap show with good seats and now Im going to have a potentially a great show but crap seats


What makes it worse is that Im about to be a dad and had to cut back spending...still managed to convince my wife that as even she thout the Aug 3rd show was turd that I should go to one more even though we couldnt afford it. She too pregnant to go (teh 3rd took it out of her) so Im travelling all the way to London on my own to see ....wel nothing by the sounds of it

OK here's what I suggest you do. Either go to the concert, take the seat you have a ticket for and hope that Prince comes round the back alot. OR once the show has started if you see an empty seat, get in there quick! OR you have plenty of time before the 21st September - fight with Ticketmaster to get your ticket changed. OR go straight to customer services at the O2 when you get there on the night of the concert - nice and early and plead and beg for them to swap your tickets over. It is the customer services people who have spare tickets for the pregnant people and people who can't hack the upper tiers. So if you have no luck changing your ticket before you go, do whatever you have to do to get the ticket changed with the customer services people. CS desks are located on 1st and 4th floors. Don't take no for an answer. Up to you how you handle it. Either demand a ticket and slug it out with them until they give you one or turn on the tears and tell them your story and perhaps they'll feel sorry for you. Good luck to you.

I cant believ that you cant see anything at all...and I mean nothing, not even the bacck of Prince. The stage isnt that high and the drum kit etc are sunk into the stage a fair bit.

Surely when people say you cant see anything they must mean a decent view or that he doesnt come to your end of the stage surely.

I was so excited aboutthe last night but now Im wondering if I should have just saved my money and been happy with the 1 poor concert on 3rd Aug.

The stage is a good 7 foot high from the floor and behind the stage where the O is you cannot see the the rest of the stage. From F1 and F2 you might see the side of the stage from the side that you're on but otherwise you can't see that much at all.

Irrespective of that, it'll be a great night though anyway - just go and enjoy the atmosphere and the music. If you catch a glimpse of him then all the better. On Friday he did make a point of going round the back of the stage 8 times so you will see him.

The view behind the stage depends very much what seat you're in. I was in row CC on Friday night behind the stage (block 116). It was three rows up from the floor (it goes AA, BB, CC... DD? EE? etc?... A...Z). The view was great because I was right at the end of the row, so I could see the centre of the stage and both arms. In row C, you'll be a bit higher up than me so you'll probably see over the drums even if you're right behind them. You might be surprised by how good your seats are when you get there. You should be able to see the screen okay from row C as well.

I was in 115 row C on Friday night and the sound and view were very good. But he did spend a lot of time in the loop of the symbol that night.
