Aftershow: What time to go?

I am going to the aftershow on Saturday and will not be able to make it to the main show. It should be ok if I arrive at the indigo at 12.30, right?

Also, how long does it take to get there from the tube?
Thanks.

The official openning time is 23:30 but the queue doesnt go down to areasonable level until about midnight, no need to queue by the way the venue is easily roomy enough for 2000 fans. If you travel to North Grenwich tube you are basically at the dome when you get out of the station. Hpe this helps "live 4 love"

I was at aftershow and strolled in at about 12.30am - was at the back (which is hardly the back as we would expect) only a few feet from the action.
Everyone on the floor part looked really squashed .The back part of the floor is slightly tiered so me and my friend just casually moved about getting fab views of the stage as the night went on.

Hi - what about getting back? I'm visiting London from the states - staying in Bloomsbury. What's the best way to get back from the O2 once the aftershow is done? Tube won't be running then, right? Is there a bus or cabs available? Thanks!

There is a taxi rank/booth affair in the foyer of the o2 where you can book a mini cab. They are pretty prompt but be warned they ain't cheap.

brilliant, thanks. I actually just saw on the venue site that the Thames Clipper is running every 30mins until 4:30am which I guess I can take to London Bridge and walk back or hope to find a cab. Here's the Clipper timetable if anyone is interested:

actually 12.30 is the ideal time to go - as the q is virtually non existent.

Weve been eating first and then going to the aftershow, you will get a good view especially if you get near the metal barriers which are half a foot above the floor level

enjoy
