London 18th of august - seating tickets swap wanted!

Hi everyone,

I would like to change seating tickets in section 422 on upper tier in O2 arena for 2 floor tickets. This is by no means an economical endeavor, and even less so an attempt to profit - we are the party of six friends and if we pull this swap of it would mean that we would get to enjoy the show together, that's all. Besides, I reckon that there might be someone who'd rather like to sit down during the show, and if so it's a win-win situation, right!?

So please, if there is anyone out there that has 2 floor tickets and would like to change them for 2 seating tickets (section 422 upper tier) in London on the 18th of august feel free to contact me at any time on the following email address:

<!-- e --><a href="mailto:haris.agic@liu.se">haris.agic@liu.se</a><!-- e -->

or

<!-- e --><a href="mailto:igor@grudice.com">igor@grudice.com</a><!-- e -->

You may even call and/or text me on +46 706073193

Thanx and keep the height!

Haris

    Anyone who would even consider swapping a standing ticket for a nosebleed seat is insane...or injured and cannot stand for that long!

    Okay original poster, instead of ripping the hell out of you, i will just say, you better just pray someone gets injured as i'm sure thats your only hope and they are very desparate. I got my standing ticket perfect through 10c so i dont know how desperate seating is at the 02? i dont know if its sold out in seating or what is sold out?

    Good luck

    Well, yeah... uhm... OK... thanx for all the support you guys are giving me... It sure feels good to have all of you backing me up on this.

    First of all I'd like to say that I surely won't HOPE someone gets injured just so I could get hold of those tickets - I'd rather sit on upper tier myself and enjoy PJ! But let me paint you a picture: Me and my best friend have bought us a pair of floor tickets each through 10C, so that went smooth... but then we wanted to invite a couple of friends to share the joy - or in the words of Christofer McCandless: "Happiness only real when shared". However, the Ticketmasters ways must be mysterious 'coz the minute they started selling regular tickets they were sold out. Now, I can see that tickets to PJs shows get sold out fast - but not that fast... something smells rotten there, but that's another story. So the invited friends went "ticketless" for a couple of months... and there, all of a sudden, news just in through my cell phone: "PJ released couple of hundred of extra tickets". And, of course, we bought a pair right away. Now those extra tickets are seating tickets which means that the "sharing" part won't be as complete as we had hoped for... but we reckoned that, perhaps there might be someone out there, who also bought tickets through 10C, but who would rather prefer to have a seat instead of stand during the show. I know, for a fan the idea sounds insane, but for one thing, not everyone can fit into the floor area - and the floor area itself can't be extended infinitely. The very invention of upper tier concept are solutions for those kind of practical stuff making large amount of people on one rock show a feasible idea - and it's old... stretches back to those beautiful amphitheaters in ancient times. And, moreover, not everyone have the same predispositions nor the same preferences when it comes to watching a live rock show. Hence, we can never say that there is no way there could be someone who'd rather sit than stand on a rock show - and even more important: I believe we shouldn't be the ones who'd judge those people because of their preferences, no matter how much of a PJ fan or burningheart-die-hard-hardcore rock'n'rolla some of us might feel like, 'coz, more often than not, people turn out to have quite plausible reasons for their preferences and many of those reasons wouldn't qualify as "choices" but should rather be understood as contextual circumstances.

    With that said, I still hope that there is someone out there who'd like seating tickets. That would mean a lot to both parts. And I surely hope that no one gets injured, no matter the reason. Being injured sucks!

    Keep the height everyone and see y'all in O2 soon!

    Comparing the O2 to a roman collesium is very poetic of you, but people aren't making fun because they think no one could possibly prefer seating to standing. They're making fun because if someone wants to swap standing tickets for seating they'd want decent seating tickets (i.e. lower tier). There's a reason why upper tier tickets come with a warning for those who suffer vertigo...

    But good luck anyway!

    You do realize the alternative is to trade YOUR 2 floor tix for the two seats next to your friends in the 400 section nosebleeds so you can sit with them and share the happiness. Thats a trade far more likely to happen as I dont see your proposal happening without cash involved. No one with floor tix will NEED seats in the farthest away section when they could trade with someone with much closer seats.

    But of course it depends on how big of a fan you are and how close you are to your friends.
    You dont need to quote Into the Wild either, is that quote actually in Supertramps journal or in the movie? Sometimes "ignorance is bliss" too, if your friends didnt know about the show they would have been perfectly content going about their normal routine.
    Join your friends and let your nose bleed. Offer some 10C fans your standing tickets in the swap.

    I eagerly wait to see your response as I wonder what you will value more.

    :D Well that was a nice one and thanx for putting med up against the wall like that. The only thing is that we are party of six altogether - so 4 floor tickets and two on upper tier... well you could say that we'll just have to make something out of it and it really isn't a big deal if we at the end, end up divided during the show - in that case we'll just have to compensate by "sharing" even more prior and after the show. Who knows, maybe we'll swap all the tickets for the upper tier tickets - that wasn't such a bad idea.... but we'd all still prefer if we could "share" down there in the pit - 'coz that is our particular preference, u c!

    Keep the height!

    Exactly...if you want to be with your friends, then you should get the lesser tickets - not the better ones.

    If your friends want to be with you so much, then they would accept the swap.

    I can't see them doing that and I can't see anyone being foolish enough to trade excellent standing tickets for poor quality seats.

    Why don't you offer your seated tickets plus some cash to actually make it remotely worthwhile..?

    It sounds to me that the "preference" is to stand and not to be with your friends - which is being used to cover that desire up.
