Thankyou! I've just looked on the tfl website, and the last journey back is at 7:15
Do you think it's near enough to go in a taxi without costing the earth? Also is the taxi rank at the o2 in an obvious place so I'll see it ok?
I dont understand why it says 7.15 as Ive just been to Britany at The O2 tonight and there defiantly was a DRL to Woolwich.
Yes the taxi rank at The O2 is in an obvious palce, there is a purpose built travel station, where the exit / entrance for the underground is. The car park is one side, the bus station is the second side, the third side is the taxi rank and the fourth side is the way to The O2 complex.
Just back from seeing Briteny at The O2, I had a brillant time and just for all of you, heres what I found out
1. All the tickets had an entrance letter printed on them. Starting at the main entrance A, B, C right around to H which is on the far side of the arena, opposite the main entrance.
2. At the main entrance, doors A, B, C there is a fast track entrance for O2 customers.
3. Entrance H is only accessable during concert / event days. On other days this entrance is closed off.
4. The main merchandise stand is at the main entrance to the complex, not in the actual arena. It opens at approx 2pm on concert days. They also have 2 tshirt stands and a few kiosks just selling programmes, so you dont have to spend ages in the queue if you just want a tshirt or programme.
There are also merchandise stands on each level inside the arena but they dont sell the entire range available.
I bought a ladies fitted tshirt which was £25. They had 5 or 6 different designs of tshirts, basball caps, bags, pens etc.
5.When they say doors open at 6.30, they mean it. We went to the entrance at about 6.20 and joined the queue. When the doors opened, our the barcodes on our tickets were scanned and the stub torn off.
We then had to go though a bag search before going up the escalaters to level 4. Our seats were in section 411, row A.
6. There are merchandise, and food and drink outlets and toilets on each level, just like at a football stadium.
7. When we eventually got to our seats the view was brillant. Its a much small arena than I expected and the view is alot better than how it appears on photos.
8. I figured out where levels 2 and 3 are too. Floor seats are in sections A, B, C, Level 1 seats are in the 100 sections, Levels 2 and 3 are the private boxes and Level 4 seats are in the 400 sections.
The private boxes go in a horseshoe shape all around the arena.
The wheelchair area is at the back of the arena, at the back of Level 1 seating.
9. The seats are very compact. Im a little person, (under 5 foot) and it was just about right for me. We were in row A, and I could comfortably seat in the seat and still lean forward and rest my arms on the barrier. Any rugby player build guys I just hope you can manage to get an aisle seat!!
10. After the concert, the arena clears pretty quickly. The majority of people head for the tube. My journey home took the same time as my journey to the arena.
