and on another note, imo, "people who abuses the system" are those who sells SFF tickets (lots of those on EBay for Leonard Cohen's concert) and those who don't bother giving feedback (to SFF) or sharing their point of view (on FB, Twitter or forums).

I didn't bother asking, I just popped my passport across with the printout. She did study it!

I wasn't asked, but then I saw some one showing theirs at the next window. It looked like it was requested.

As per usual a good write up. I enjoy reading your blog. Two comments:

The 02 capacity is 20,000 depending on event, less last night as it wasn't in the round. I think the 55,000 figure is closer to the capacity for all three JCS performances.

What has Mel C been up to? Well apart from releasing albums, touring and having a baby; she starred in Blood Brothers in the West End and was nominated for an Oliver award. She got very good reviews. She is releasing an album of 'stage covers' so maybe her career is heading in that direction.

OH was trying to count seats last night, I told him that's useless and just to check the capacity online, especially as his figures varied wildly from 3,000 to a million! :giggle:
And while there were a lot of people, it wasn't completely full and I saw a lot of seats further down which were probably better than ours, and after the break one couple who had sat up very high, moved further down in front of us to some unoccupied seats.
