Block 105 at The O2 — view and verdict
Near-stage side view. Close enough to see faces, angled enough to take in the stage. One of the two best lower blocks for a standard end-stage concert.
★★★★★ — Excellent · ranked #2 of 10 blocks we rate at The O2
The view from Block 105, in words
Angle. You sit in a corner, looking diagonally across the pitch: near-corner action feels very close, while the far corner takes the longest sightline in the ground.
Distance and height. You sit about 42 metres from the centre spot and roughly 9 metres up. That is a low seat: close to the action at your end and fully in the atmosphere, with a flatter angle for judging distance at the far end.
Tier. Lower tier. Close enough to see faces, angled enough to take in the stage. One of the two best lower blocks for a standard end-stage concert.
Who Block 105 suits
Gig-goers who want to be close. If that sounds like you — and the price is in line with its 4.5/5 rating rather than a premium block's — this is a sound buy.
Who should look elsewhere
Very few people: this is one of the ground's best blocks. Only skip it if the price is inflated well beyond neighbouring blocks with similar ratings.
