Can’t believe no one has commented on the o2 yet!

Yes it’s an arena and I know a lot of people find them too big and impersonal, but as arenas go, I don’t think it can be beaten.  The layout of the arena itself, in a huge bowl means the atmosphere feels fantastic, and I’d assume that even if you’re near the back, although the view would be distant, that you still have a clear view due to how the seats are raked.  

I’ve been lucky enough to have front blocks here for the Spice Girls and Kylie (literally within touching distance) and when you turn round to look at the rest of the crowd it’s just awesome.  Plus the tiered seats were fantastic for Celine Dion’s in-the-round show.  Definitely a big improvement for London’s arena-gig going public when compared to the poor sightlines and layout at Earl’s Court.  

It’s just a shame it arrived soon after the refurbished Wembley Arena which looks amazing compared to prior to it’s re-fit, but where I’ve not been since Kylie’s NYE show as everyone’s now playing the o2 instead.

If your driving to the o2 for a concert don't pre book your parking ticket for £20 but get there a little early and pay when you get there and it'll only cost you  £10, the only difference is an extra 3 minute walk.

had a fantastic time at the tina turner concert,but be prepared for long wait for a table to eat,also took half an hour to get out of the car park
