can anyoen get through on ticketmaster for uk dates?

Does anyone know what the situation is with seats in block A at the O2? Do you have to remain seated? From the YouTube clips it looks like everyone has just moved down the front for a better standing view. Or is this a separate standing area just for fan club members?

When I saw them last year at the O2, I was in A1 and everyone stayed at their seats but stood throughout. I don't remember anyone being able to walk to the front. O2 security seem to be quite strict, in my experience...

That's where I am this time around. I normally opt for cheap seats but I thought I'd treat myself to an early Birthday present! How did you find the view down there?

The view is fab - I was right in front of Mr B, about 15 rows back - he even pointed at me as I was rocking out to 'Not That Funny'... I'm quite tall, which does help at gigs, but it's a great area generally.

That sounds great! I'm in row 1 and I'm also quite tall, so I'll try not to block anyone's view!

As long as I can see the screen and hear it OK from where I am I don't care. I'm just happy to be there!

I hope you don't get caught in the middle of a bun fight like I did. A few people stood up for the whole show and got shouted down by the bloke behind them. It was good fun to watch!

Everyone ran to the front last year. That was the first night though.

Tried this morning again for Manchester tickets but after about 20 mins there was only a seat in the Gods or one in the lower tier for £137.50 which I wasn't willing to pay.

With them adding dates in Glasgow, Birmingham and London am hoping they might add another in Manchester but will probably face the same struggle.

I'd only pay £137+ for decent floor seats.

Glad others had better luck

There's still some pretty big gaps in the touring schedule. I'd be surprised if more weren't announced!

My last post didn't show for some reason?? Apologies if it pops up again after this.

I reckon Dublin will get more dates and probably London.

The north of England seems to be getting neglected a bit with only the dates in Leeds and Manchester, and why nothing over in Belfast? I suppose it's hard to schedule these tours though to be fair.
