I've got tickets in block 402, 4 rows from the front. I've been in the top tier of wembley and although i wouldn't go to the front i was fine in my seat (also 4 rows back) and was jumping up and down (went to watch footy there).
Is the top tier of the O2 similar to the top tier of wembley. Also do they have esculators inside or do you have to walk to the top using stairs?
IIRC the top tier doesn't overhang the bottom one at all.
But, as some have said, the top of the O2 (seats in the 400's) are extremely high and steep. They do not recommend you buy them if you suffer from vertigo.
I was in the 400s when I saw the Killers the other week - I don't mind heights and I was dancing around like a mad thing up there - and you could see everything! I'm again in the 400s when I go to see MJ in August.
There's no elevators you have to walk up the stairs - it's not too bad though depending on what row you're in obviously!

the 400's is much higher than wembley-wembleys top tier is only a bit higher than the bottom one at o2
you have to walk quite bit ti get to the 400's
if u dont mind heights it will be fine but i cant bear being that high
does anyone know how the queing system works? does everyone just queue together or are there sections?
i guess for MJ the queues will be massive, by mid afternoon ( opens 1830 )
I have never had a problem with queuing to get in before there are plenty of ways in, everyone has a seat anyway (well, depends on the seat layout I suppose). The worst queues I find are actually leaving the 02 after the concert - painfully slow if you are in the top tiers (400's)....fine if you are near an exit like 106/107....straight out!

Depending on where you're sitting, there's a couple of different entrances so not everyone queues together.
If you do have seats it's not worthy queuing up. The O2 has plenty of bars and restaurants to spend time in whilst waiting for the crowds to die down. Whenever we've gone they we've never arrived before the doors opened and have always ended up just walking virtually straight in.
Here's a photo I took from block 112 (nearest stage left).
the 112 seats actually look very good seats, close to the stage, whereas 106 are set right back ( where i will be ). you must have been able to see the artist very well
I sat up in the 400 blocks & was terrified of standing up the whole time! I'd never get those tickets again. And there were definitely escalators when I went!
I'm not bothered about walking up to my seat as we're on row D but i know at wembley there are loads of esculators to take you up to the top level. Last time we went the esculators all broke just as we got in so we had to walk to the top level. I'm not in great shape and was knackered. Hoping to be in better shape by then though.

The queues for the resturaunts in the arena are worse:eek::p
Almost every concert I've been to at the o2, they've used a stage right in the middle of the arena for parts of the show. So everyone gets a decent view.

its more ruond the arena in there so anywere in the 100' is good
i have seen the seatplan there. I was just wondering if the 400 seats overhang the 100's when you actually get there.
for ease of viewing, ticketmaster may have just arranged the seats like that, when in reality they overhang.
ok thanks robbie gal, i am glad i am not in the 400's

Does this look accurate and am I in the low level blue seats straight ahead?

Basically, yeah.
Here's a photo I took from block 112 (nearest stage left).
So they're not that bad. Mine are just a long way away from the action.
I bought them because I thought they'd give a good head on view. Not sure if I should have waited for some a bit closer like yours.

looks amazing

No idea what it's like if you're standing.

Looks miles away from the stage - does anyone have any piccies form that end?
