hi does anyone have an idea if the London O2 arena shows will have a barricaded front section near stage for ten club or is it just early entry wristband only and mixed with all GA's?

    Ahh that's a shame. Was great when I watched PJ at Wembley Arena 2007? When front section was seperate with good amount of space so didn't get crushed. Early entry wristband is not much good unless you don't mind waiting for ages & don't go toilet!!
    cheers all for info, looking forward to the show all the same!

    Im really really really hoping they do the round stage in the centre like Metallica did because that was great - viewing was so much better for everyone

    I don't think there will be round stage but there are seats right at the back of stage maybe like the US arenas

    Turns out I was wrong about this.  Section 117 (behind the stage) was for sale this morning.  I've never seen this section for sale at an o2 gig, and cant find any pictures online of this set-up.  I guess it will be an "open stage". Interesting!

    At that Wembley show 10C was given the entire standing area.
    If I knew where it was, I would take you there...

    O2 has done a barrier before but last time I was there (Queens of the Stone Age two weeks ago) it was gone. Personally not a fan of having to take time off of work to make sure I get near the front so hoping it's not there.

    Yes I was offered some this morning during the presale. They were significantly cheaper too (£55 plus fees).

    Wembley 2007 was full open floor

    Wembley had most of the floor GA, all the way to the mixing board. Then seats behind that on an elevated platform. Kind of like this :
