hi guys, britneys tickets are less than half price at the minute but they are standing only,

Ive never stood in the o2 so how does it work? doors open and then what? how do you get to the front? wouldnt everyone just push you? also can you drink alcohol from their bar if your standing? and how close to the stage is the standing area (lets say if your at the front) thank you and sorry if its the wrong category thread

To get to the front, you'd have to be there when the door open and well, RUN! No one really pushes. They usually have a bar right at the back of the actual arena, but if you're at the front and went to the back to get a drink from the bar, I doubt many people would let you walk back to the front. It's very much like "Once you're there, you stay there" or lose your place.
If you get to the front of the standing area you are approx 5 foot away from the main stage.

Hope this helps.

Sitting down at a gig is rubbish IMO, standing is the way to go.

I disagree. I've experienced the misery of standing a few times. Can't see a thing, horribly uncomfortable, deprived of comforts like drinks or the toilet, lest I be unable to get back, cramped, crowded, smelly, even louder. As far as I can tell, standing room only exists because the floor isn't tiered and they want to make money from the big gap in the middle between seats.

With seats you get comfort, security, and space. And you can see!
