10 year old daughter has asked to see Little Mix for her birthday.

I have NEVER attended a pop concert in my life (do the cool kids still call them 'pop concerts'?!)

Unfortunately, tickets have been on sale since September and all that is left is the hugely inflated prices :(. As this is a one off we have purchased 2 x tickets (wife and daughter) from Stubhub. We have paid double face value and have tickets for:

Floor B, Row 13.

Looking at the Arena floor plan, these appear to be good seats. Looking at the Arena floor plan:

I think my seats are here:

BUT.............The Stubhub website shows this view for the tickets, which seems to be another block behind where i think the tickets are:

Anyone know the arena who can help?

Lastly, is the 'Floor' seated? As i said, my daughter is only 10 and if people are standing then she isn't going to see the show :(

Like i said - we have never been to a concert before and am totally naive!

If you have the actual tickets, what do they say?

If the sale described them as being as you describe, and not the back block, that's just plain misleading.

Possible the stub hub view has got it wrong though - I guess you won't know until you get the tickets in your hand.

Tickets were posted today, so will have them soon. But site just says Floor B, row 13.
 
I noticed the higher number at the rear too - but my concerns are that we may be seated in a place i was not expecting, or the tickets are double booked or something (i have never used Stubhub and some reviews are pretty negative :()
 
Tickets have arrived - blimey that was quick! (ordered them late Thurs night)

Block B Floor Row 13 seats 9 and 10.

I think we are good looking at the seating plan.

Sorry, but just don't go. The longer people support these scumbags the longer they'll stick around. If I had a pound for every time I've tried to get tickets for something, only to miss out and then see them in eBay 20mins later. It's hideous. Its outlawed for football, it should be for everything.

Whilst i agree with you, unfortunately this isn't the reality we live in - i have the sellers name on the tickets and a quick internet trawl shows he has been doing this for years. Judging by his holiday snaps, he is making good money too.

Like i say, our family have never been to a concert because any concert we wanted was either sold out or the only seats left were the ones no-one wanted. Therefore as we have the cash, i don't want my daughter to miss out.

Supply and demand unfortunately - obviously the artists don't give a toss or they would be doing something to stop the touting.
 
tbh some artists won't care. They have filled the venue, got their cash - if anyone makes any money on top of that? Not their concern. Didn't Adele make a big show of ensuring her fans got tickets? They still ended up on the 'bay for thousands.

Like i say, my wife and daughter are going, but the tickets have a guys name on them - if challenged they could just say, boyfriend bought them etc etc etc, what is security guard going to do except build up queues and delay entrance for people? As long as they have tickets they are just feed in like sheep. No point causing issues once people are already there.

They should be able to stop this at source ie stop the touts getting the tickets in the first place.

4 tickets max then have to join the virtual queue from beginning etc? - no idea!

You're right. but then you have:

a. Extra software costs.

b. New policies/costs regarding data protection holding.

c. Extra messing about for customers.

d. Extra concern from people who do not want their photos of themselves or their children held by unknowns.

All of the above will either incur costs for the ticket sellers/entertainers or in some way may deter ticket buyers. None of which would be acceptable when money making is involved.

The likes of Adele, Rage, Led Z, etc may be able to put high end security on their tickets - they have the huge dedicated fan base, Little Mix etc do not.

Thanks for that - daughters first concert and we want it to be a good experience for her and you have put our minds at rest.

Feel free to say hi and to send a wine/beer and coke to the wife and daughter - you know where they will be sat!! ;)
