The O2 Arena Seating Plan

For concerts, the front floor blocks A1–A3 are closest and most immersive, while Level 1 lower-tier blocks facing the stage (104–109, with 106 and 107 dead centre) give the best elevated, head-on view. Blocks 101 and 112 are the closest side-on seats to an end stage.

Avoid lower-tier blocks 114–117, which sit behind the stage and are normally not sold for concerts, and the back floor C blocks, which are far from the stage on a flat floor. The highest Level 4 rows are steep and not ideal if you dislike heights.

The Level 4 upper tier (blocks 401–422) has the most affordable seats and still offers a complete view; central upper blocks facing the stage are the best value.

It depends on the event. For many concerts the floor is standing (general admission) in blocks A–C; for others, and for sports, it is seated. A1–A3 are always the closest floor blocks to the stage.

Yes — there are accessible viewing platforms and companion seats (mainly on Level 1), accessible toilets, an induction loop and a Changing Places facility, with a free personal-assistant ticket on eligibility. Book through the venue’s Access team and book early for big shows.

End-stage setup. The floor is split into nine blocks — A1–A3 (front, closest), B1–B3, C1–C3 (back) — sold standing or seated by show. Level 1 blocks 104–109 face the stage from the far end and 101–103 and 110–112 are side-on; blocks 114–117 sit behind the stage and are usually withheld. For specific sections, aim for Floor A1–A3, or Level 1 blocks 104–109 facing the stage — The front floor is closest and most immersive; the lower-tier blocks facing the stage give an elevated, head-on view.
