Advantages: So much under one roof!

Disadvantages: Not good if you are scared of heights.

I was surprised when the O2 became a concert venue, after it was the millenium dome. I thought Wembley Stadium would be enough but how wrong I was. There seem to be more than enough concerts and so on to keep the O2 arena occupied aswell as Wembley.

The O2 really became famous when Michael Jackson announced his tour dates there. The biggest series of come back gigs ever and he chose the O2. Even though they never ended up happening the amount of publicity it generated was still great.

I got tickets to see the Spice Girls at the O2. I didn't necessarily chose to go there its just the nearest venue to me. I left my house with plenty of time to get there, but it ended up taking next to no time at all. Whereas Wembley is in the centre of London, the O2 isn't so there is no traffic and ample parking. I parked at the arena, although it was expensive £20 and we could have just tried to park nearby, I hadn't been there so wasn't sure and the £20 was piece of mind.

What I didn't realize was that the O2 wasn't just one concert venue. It has tons of restaurants, bars, exhibitions etc. If I had realized I would have come earlier and made more of my time there. I was told before hand that there is not a single bad seat in the arena, which is certainly right, but one thing worth noting is that be careful chosing your seats if you are scared of heights. The O2 is definitely worth a trip.

Summary: Worth getting tickets for.
