    Does anybody who knows the MEN buy seats in the upper tier - unless they are selling on Ebay?? Ive never been up there - too scared!!! I hate heights and not only is is high but the slope is great - from below it is so steep!!! I dont want to be a spoilsort, and I know the stage is in a different position to when bands are playing, but from my experience this is not a good seat to have and u shouldnt be paying anywhere near what the people with the goods seats have paid!!! I think someone is having a laugh at someones expense!!

    Ticketmaster and ebay have a lot to answer for!!!!

    Agreed, there is no way you would get me up there!

    the metrolink is hell on earth when big gigs are on at the MEN :rolleyes:

    The difference is that most parts of central Manchester are walkable from the Arena. Have you tried walking from the O2 to central London recently? :rotfl:
    Gone ... or have I?
  • I tried for ages yesterday to get tickets and just gave up. I was appauled to find them on various different sites within hours for resale. To be fair to his loyal fans why didnt they limit the sales to 2 or 4 per customer and the card holder must bring the card when going to the show!

    yes have looked, hence the question
    going by "SIDE" stage you've got approx 25% sat behind the stage

    now I've nver been the MEN so I'm not sure how it works
    has anyone got tickets for upper blocks 213-217 ??? (behind the stage)

    again hence the question

    I managed to get 2 tickets for one of the sat nights. Previously I'd managed to get 2 for a weekday night which wasn't ideal as we're coming from scotland and we'd need someone to watch/take dd to school. DH also managed to get tickets while at work, so we had 4 extra.

    We've since sold these on ebay both for BIN price for a little over the face value to cover bkg fees, ebay and paypal fees - I have made a grand profit of approximately £1.40. All these greedy folk on ebay should be ashamed of themselves :mad: - ebay should only allow BIN for ticket sales.

    We sat in the upper blocks (admitedly not behind) when we saw Lee Evans. Sorry going to be honest here, I wouldnt do it again. You are just looking at screens.JMO
