Ok, thought so. Maybe I should get seated after all, at least then I'll get to see from afar.

Well, depends. If you go just before doors it will be like four hours i guess.

Aye, getting to the loo can be a bit of a bummer. Never been to this venue so no idea where the loos will be. Great! I'm just gonna try and make sure I'm comfortable before the queue goes in. Then see how crowded it is for BSP. Might be able to sneak off just before they come on if it's not too packed!

There's no telling that your place will be kept though.
See the Lindz Delirium guide to "last toilet" in another thread!!! You can have last toilet on the barrier just make friends with the people either side of you, if you go before BSP come on you'll be ok, if anyone in the 2nd row tries to take your place after seeing you ask your neighbours to save your space and seeing you go to the loo then they are wankers.

You'll generally find people are quite nice though...

I agree with Lindz. Last toilet from the barrier is a lot safer than doing it close before doors, especially with Leicester and Carlisle where the doors were inexplicably opened about fifteen minutes early with no warning.

The toilets in the o2 are a nightmare, they are by the doors where you come in. Can be a hassle if the veune is full as you have to fight to get off the barrier (from experience) then make your way to the back of the venue past the bars and the merchandise stand, through the doors, down the starirs and then you're at the loos. Then you have to get back!!!!

Oh I hope I can get near the front. I won't be at the venue until after 4 because I can't leave school until 2.30. Damn it being on a school day,it was fine when it was in the half term holidays

Definitely going to be here with Dean probably won't be there till way after 4, as our trains will be rubbish, and we can't afford to stay two nights

As if I'd queue before 4 anyway given diabetes and the want to keep my throat intact from the cold air! Maybe the pub beforehand, who knows.

If I got on the barrier I'd be highly confused, I'm used to be pogoing about everywhere at gigs. Plus if there are any crowdsurfers it's better to punch them in the kidneys from there. I hate crowdsurfers.

There were no crowdsurfers until Manchester, and then suddenly they were everywhere. Madness, I hate them too.

Crowdsurfing Madness, somethings a ska band just aren't meant to do.
