Native? You were with people who weren't speaking in English. Um, 'scuse my ignorance, but I don't know what it was

Edit: I mean 'that person I saw' was with people not speaking in English!

- There was definitely not a DVD shoot and no commercial DVD will be released. The concert was also not recorded for a CD release.
- We delayed the start of the concert, and reduced the interval as we were concerned about getting everyone into the arena in 1 hour. Apologies for any delays, as it's not how we usually do things. The band were lovely and agreed to help out, and we hope no-one missed any songs.
- We still have some standing tickets in our possession and, if you would like one as a souvenir, please e-mail customerservices@theO2.co.uk with your postal address, and we will post one out to you. This is free and we do not even ask for postage.
- Abstract Unknown Girl (Laura) please e-mail me, I feel we owe you an apology.

Thanks.

Thanks very much for this info

Er, yes, my native language=Italian. And yes, I was with two other Italian girls.
Oh, and I had that lanky sod named Fwanny behind me, if that helps.

Hmm, probably not you then. Sounded more eastern European. As you were

Fair play to the O2, I think. My favourite large London venue.

My experience there was pretty much perfect, the only bit I'd change would be the freezing cold area where we queued up... that felt like it was still under construction! I'm sure when I went in before I went up the escalators by the entrance.

Aye, I got an email from them, they say they'll send me a ticket! Hooray!!!

I can't see why they shouldn't

Now let's cross our fingers that the tickets actually arrive...

It's not all that bad! It's better than all the vids on YouTube.

.

Which begs the question of why bother with the trouble of applying wristbands to everyone, then posting back tickets at their own expense when they could simply tear off the ticket stub at the gate like in the old days. It all seems rather ridiculous to me.
