At least you guys from Europe will be happy.
 
which tickets are the best? i want somewhere near the stage is it "level 1" or "floor seating"
please advise?
 
Has the presale sold out already? I'm in a really annoying position; i'm hoping to go back to Uni and do my PGCE (teacher training) in Sept so would be away and bogged down with work then. May have to leave it :(
 
Do we think we can bring camera's? I'd love to capture some of the magic
 
^ I think they will be allowed, there's lots of youtube & video clips taken from phones and camera's :)
 
Oh that's a real shame, but we may find different ;)

i would think so. normal non professional cameras are normally ok. considering the amount of pics/footage on the net there doesnt seem to be a no camera policy for the entire tour so it will be more about the venue policy which for 99% of places is non professional camera only. ie no cameras with detachable lenses.

theres enough footage on utube etc from the 02 to suggest cameras are allowed inside.

the link above saying no cameras is from a random cirque show and venue so not relelvent to this

No, All cameras are banned.

The clips you see on youtube were probably filmed with a phone.

Cirque is very strict about the no camera rule...no just for MJ's show. ALL their shows.
 
So I'll be able to bring my Phone in and record with that?
 
Glad to be going on opening night but I know I am going to want to go again! :mello:

^^Before the show they made an announcement that cameras/flashes were not allowed because they distract the actors and can be dangerous to them. These people are on poles are we do not want them to lose their concentration and fall and hurt themselves. People do sneak cameras in and take shots, but my guess is that if they catch you, they will have something to say about it.
 
I guess if u want to get away with taking pics. then u need to turn the flash off

I'm always astounded by the people who use their flash in circumstances like that anyway because a flash is COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE when you're so far away from the subject in a big arena!!
Turn the flash off and your pics will come out just the same or even better than if you'd used the flash because there'll be no stray light bouncing off the people in front of you!
 
Yeah thats very true. a flash tends to mess up pics when theres loads of lighting around.
 
I'm unsure. Can I actually film parts of the show with my phone? I don't want to get thrown out!
 
I worked for years for the company that do the security at the 02.The general rule is they wont do anything unless you are continuasly filming. and if its being filmed with a phone they are even less bothered as the quality isnt the best. u will only get thrown out if u dont stop filming when asked. just enjoy watching it instead of being bothered about filming all the time.

I was only going to film one or two songs and Ive emailed 02 so problem solved
 
You will be able to bring your camera as long as it is a non
professional one. The lens of your camera has to be less or no more than
35mm. A small digital camera which you can put in your pocket should be
absolutely fine.


Kind Regards,

Jean-Paul

Email is received from 02 customer services, we can bring our cameras! Good news,
