    Hi Guys, stumbled across this thread and well, i had to laugh, you see i had the priority code emailed to me and within an hour of receiving it i tried to buy tickets to which was only offered , well......the toilet stand...well, might as well of been as i would defo needed binoculars, let alone the fact my daughter would have seen absolutely nought! so i thought i would try again on a new added dates, to which i was there at the ready the second they went on sale, but couldnt for the life of me get a or b block though was offered row x on the c block, decided i would rather pay more on ebay. I did pay £285 but i know the seller is trustworthy and had a genuine reason for selling and im only 4 rows from the front!! yippee!! not very moneysaving i know but hey, i dont drink, lol

    ADVICE FOR ANYONE WANTING TO BUY TICKETS FROM EBAY:
    If the seller has listed the block, row and seat numbers, dont buy as this could be scammed using duplicate tickets.

    Dont buy from a seller who has just recently joined ebay(common sense)

    Most important, look at what they have sold in the past, if concert tickets were sold before did the buyer leave good feedback

    I know this seems obvious but alot of people are getting carried away that they have great seats and overlooking everything else.

    Personally i think the best seats to have are either the 1st tiered at the sides or c2 row a, either way your either lucky to purchase row a seats or your not!

    Remember that ticket touts will always with hold good seats untill 2 - 3 weeks before concert so worth checking with ticketmaster then as miraculously they may have great seats at a great price, dont ask me why but i know they do!

    Don't really understand this - surely any tickets could be duplicates?

    I don't agree with that either. I have been selling tickets for Spice girls and I like to give ALL information to my bidders. I have told them Blcok, Row and Number!

    I agree though, there are lots of bogus sellers on there, it is amazing the amount of 'Block A, Row A' seats there are!

    A smally tip though is Row A is not necessarily the front row an some blocks start at Row AA!

    Block A is not necessarly the best block as you could be seated to the far right or left wing of stage, thus furthest from catwalk and corner of stage. Hope this helps.

    Indeed - I think though for block A1 and A3 the first row IS row A? Also, are the seat numbers closest to the catwalk HIGH or LOW? Wish the damn seat map had seat numbers on it - or at least the end row ones! :(

    Another case in point:

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SPICE-GIRLS-TICKETS-FRI-11TH-JAN-BLOCK-A3-FRONT-ROW_W0QQitemZ120168562512QQihZ002QQcategoryZ1306QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    Front row?? How come he is saying Row J in listing then? Be very careful when bidding!

    Oh - and 0 feedback...

  • Would love to know how the seating goes we have A1 9&10 now is that near the catwalk?
    I would like to be a glow-worm.
    A glow-worm's never glum.
    Its hard to be downhearted when the sun shines out your bum.

    You could try ringing the O2 arena itself if you can find a number. They might be able to tell you exact seat numbers.

    Just to bump this ...

    Mel C was on This Morning yesterday, and made a very strong hint that they will be announcing some 'Northern' concerts ...
