I was planning a night in London to watch the England game (football, v - Russia) tonight... and now I've jumped in for a last minute Prince ticket! (As you do, especially if it's a peachy floor ticket!)

Does anyone know if the bars in the O2 (inside the Dome, outside the Arena) have TVs / show sport? I wouldn't mind catching the first 45 minutes before the Main Event!

Im pretty sure somewhere there would be showing it.

Now that's a good idea! Watch the first half before popping up to your seat. I fancy doing the same thing! I've been in the O2 and there's tons of bars but I haven't seen screens in them...

Same here - it's bar-tastic in there, but I don't recall seeing screens anywhere. Surely there must be one somewhere... I'll have a look in the bar on your left as I go in, then work my way around anti-clockwise.

If Prince goes on stage before I get to my seat (circa 9pm), I'll eat my shoe.

he took to the stage at 8.45pm on sunday

I was so sure he'd be on after 9 since he has been at all the others I've been to. I almost missed the start on Sunday! I had about 2 mins before he materialised. I won't be making that same mistake tonight, lol.

Thanks for the heads-up! I don't think I've seen him on before 9pm since the opening gig!

Oh well... let's hope England are 3-0 up after half an hour and I'll think it's all over.

Glad you asked that, my other half is hoping to catch the game whilst I get my Prince fix, so fingers crossed the game will be on.

Update for those who could care less: not a single bar in O2 had the footie on!
