Empty seats at the O2 makes me angry!!

[AnotherMum76]

I go to lots of gigs and often have the frustration of trying to buy tickets before all the touts get them and sell them at massively inflated prices.

I went to the O2 last night and sat right up in the gods as that was the only seats I could get, massively pissed off to see loads of empty seats lower down so either lots of people were struck down with some mysterious illness or the overinflated prices meant the tickets didn't actually sell!!!!!

Just wanted to rant as it is seriously annoying and about time it was stopped

You don’t the circumstances in which they were empty but they were already paid for.

Prices are ridiculous now. We would rather go to cheaper tickets more often than pay some of the acts at the O2 prices.
Went to see Haim on Saturday , sold out 2 nights standing only at £32 a ticket.
Im am getting a bit old (55) and short so couldnt see much , so watched the screens, but at would have seen just as little at back of O2.

I agree. I think some tickets are so overpriced...think BTS there will be empty seats. There are probably some through not being able to go but I think the former is the main reason.

It was this article that prompted my post!

Got a bit fed up last year trying to get tickets which go in 5 minutes then get the message " tickets available on getmein"
We found that with 2 bands but when we went on RAB website there were loads of proper priced tickets
