I've never been to an all seated Madonna concert. The only one I ever went to which was all seated was Sade. lol

All of her US shows are seated, right? So what does that even mean, you sit there and wait until she comes on stage and then jump off and dance until it's over? Why do they need seats?

If a show ends late you can end up stranded. They close the station due to overcrowding etc and cos it's located in the most random part of London it takes forever to get home. Happened to us after Rihanna. But I guess that's the same with all arenas probably. I'm just being pedantic and worrying extra early. Don't listen lol!

I'm actually wondering the same thing! We never have seated floors in Sweden.

When I saw Pharrell @ the O2 last year this was my biggest worry, however we managed to get on the tube and got home with bascially no problems. A bit worried about this being an issue if I see her in London this time tho, can't be sure of how late Madonna goes on lol...

There's the 10.30pm curfew though. For M.D.N.A., didn't she get on stage in time for all the shows in the UK although she cut a couple of songs for a Scottish show?

Also, the tube is starting to run 24 hours at some point soon which will help?

The tube is only gonna run 24 hours on Fridays and Saturdays. Last time I saw her at the O2 she came on about 9/9:15, like most artists do.

Is there any news on support acts this time? Always a bit disappointed we only ever get DJ's, and lame ones like Paul Oakenfold. I remember on Sticky & Sweet some European dates got Robyn! That would awesome!

That was because for MDNA it was an outside venue, Westminster Council enforced the curfew. The curfew for the o2 is 00:10. It'll be interesting I cant wait.

Can't wait. Fingers crossed I get good tickets. Have not seen her since her last arena tour, where I was so close I managed to touch her leg as she sang on the catwalk.

She started virtually on time at Sticky as Sweet Part 2 as we were doing drinks whole Oakenfold was on then rushed in just before IT started .

Remember the vastness of London. Taxis after a certain time charge double rates, if I got a taxi from my house to the o2 it would be about £40 in the daytime. Uber is really kicking off in London but will still be very expensive. When they were building the o2 they kinda lacked on infrastructure, its probably the biggest complaint about the place.

that really sucks! maybe 4 of you can get a taxi/uber together...split the cost.

No! there are when the concert finishes but later than that, your fucked. We ended up climbing across motorway bridges and gates at 4AM, got on a bus, he said 'where to?' we said 'anywhere' then ended up in a hotel bar somewhere in Brixton. (not close)

Are you happy about the venue being completely seated?

I mean it'll be less ness wrecking with no queuing for hours and getting pushed back and forth in order to get standing places close to the stage, I guess. But it's a fucking madonna concert, not some theatre play. I really can not imagine sitting there quietly while M rocks the stage :(

thats exactly my thought.

i dont know why she did SEATING plan for the uk, its really weired. i guess everyone will stand up no matter what.

the good side is as u said, u dont have to wait for HOURS and in december its coldd.

my main question is - will the floor seating be limited to the VIP PACKS only or not

I mean if everybody ended up standing up anyway, that'd be great. I just don't want to end up in a corner where people that remain seated would start yelling at me for standing up.... Ugh.
