I've been to the O2 a few times and to be honest, I think there are some 'bad seats'
The 3 smaller blocks on the far outside of both sides of the arena aren't great - ie A, A, H and G, G, P - I wouldn't book those.
It is a great venue though - huge foyer that stretches the width of the venue - this has a bar, a 'sweet shop' and a merchandise stand on both sides, so you're never really stuck in long queques.
Roll on next Monday and Wednesday - I can hardly wait....
Kind Regards, Joan.

Is it just me or is anybody or everybody else getting fed up with these protestors telling us he shouldn't perform in Israel? I've a feeling they are going to be present for the rest of the tour.

As you go from O Connell Bridge towards the O2 it is on your left about 500 metres from the stadium. You can't miss it.

I hear from the Liverpool crew that Leonard is struggling with a cold. Would you agree with me that Leonard should take a break and skip the Dublin shows to regain mint condition ? Just an idea, folks.

Hi amcgee

that's a Norwegian definition of health - they are tough guys and live in a health system of their own

even when your lung is whistling from an infection they will say "Hey, that sounds like tonight will be fine"

just consider your part of responsibility on this case

Going on Sunday night and wondering if anyone knows what time he will be coming on stage at? Doors open 6.30pm so I'm guessing about 7.30pm but I could be wildly wrong.
ps, can't wait!

Hi Henning

His tour schedule is pure madness, but he obviusly is trying to get as many concerts done before he ends touring. 4 concerts in Dublin this week is a lot for anyone, but the real problem this weeks is that he has a few concerts in a few different country's. I don't know where he is getting all this energy from, but i do think he would regret cancelling the dublin gigs.
The only people responsible for his case is his management, who are obviously only interested in making as much money.
I don't think Leonard would want to disappoint his Irish fans. But i do think after this tour , he should either retire or limit his concerts to a few a year and not turn in to the never end tour like another well known signer.

Hi

Its says on ticket 6:30, i suspect starting time is 8pm , but i think it best to be there before 7:30 alright, he might do a sound check like at kilmainham last year.
I am looking forward to sunday also.

Hey Henning, so Leonard is suffering with a cold then? Tell Jarrko to contact me privately, I have an amazing 'irish coffee' remedy that I will make especially for Leonard and he will be in fine fettle again in no time :D

Hope you are not sitting in front of me with the banner. Would you not consider going to Croke Park instead?
