I'm quite surprised by all these complaints about the venue security. Everyone in the 111 sector was super nice and helpful, as well as the security at the main entrance (H). The guy who checked our tickets had a malfunctioning "thingie" and apologized twice, asking his colleague to check them. When we went looking for our seats we were almost escorted there!

You couldn't enter the queueing area without a preliminary ticket checl

Woo you got a good pic of Sean - brilliant. I think I want to ask Santa for one of those cameras for Christmas. And good timing with the Nicky-in-a-dress screen shot hehe.

James was such a fit bitch.

Thanks for posting those, UEF, and everyone else who has posted pics/videos, almost makes up for not being there

We did this as a dance during Empty Souls.

The Love of Richard Nixon and So Why So Sad are great. End of discussion.

This!

They completely copped out of the SWSS solo though... that could've easily been done on guitar or keyboard

Pair of twats looked like they should've been at a fucking Duran Duran gig. Anyway, that aside, twas a magic night but now I'm stuck at Gatwick Airport as flight back to Glasgow which was due to leave at 6 has been delayed till midnight. Easyjet twats.

So glad you had a good night, Will. I'm still gutted I couldn't go. It might take me awhile to get over this one.

Just back home and trying to catch up. Not much more to add to what has already been said above, an amazingly wonderful night and very emotional.

Spotted Jeremy Deller up in the seats, in a very very pink woolly scarf.Artists!

(moans: Taxi from the Novotel to O2 was £17 - next time i'm swimming! The bar we went to afterwards for a refreshing drink charging £2.90 for a can of coke.......)

Got a couple of tickets back off security at the end, so have a spare if anyone didn't manage to retrieve one.
