SeatView UKThe O2 Arena seat views — the view from every block
The O2 is the busiest arena in the world, hosting gigs, comedy, darts, tennis and basketball under the tent in Greenwich. Seats wrap the floor in a lower tier (blocks 101–118) and an upper tier (blocks 401 and up). For concerts the stage is almost always at the west end — the 101 end — which makes block position relative to the stage far more important than raw distance.

Good to know before you buy at The O2
The single most common O2 mistake is buying blocks 101 or 418 area seats for an end-stage gig without checking the layout: they sit beside or behind the stage. Side blocks in the 105–115 range are the sweet spot for concerts; the far end (110–112) faces the stage head-on and suits people who want the full production view.
