Royal Albert Halls - Seats

[dmg]

Front row isn't always that great if you are along the very end of the row.  Depending on the venue you may be better being 10-15 rows back.  I had a loudspeaker in front of me all night at the SECC in 2010 and Lucca 2010 wasn't much better (both front row, at the end).

These Canadian guys think that end of row 21 (or row 10, 15,.. )Arena is one of the best seats of the venue.
I doubt they would understand any complaint about front row

Yeah.  I even got a row from security on both nights for rushing the stage for the encores!

The issue is really the advertising and the seat assignment process.

Yes I had same problem with RW presale or with the Rolling Stones fan club.
But I am still not convinced that with a "picking" system I could have managed to get row one at RAH and elsewhere but it would be a great improvement to be able to see instantly what seat are allocated, and subsequently to be able to reject them (at your own risk...).

You're absolutely right : forget row one without mk.com.
But if you're not one of the happy few, mk.com is just one of the worst ticket providers, if not the worst.

As of today I have 13 tickets for the tour and the poorest service is clearly mk.com 
Even for a General admission ticket, they don't  give us a priority queue (according to our Toronto fellows).

Could anyone advise when the MK.com presale tickets are available for pick-up? The confirmation email says "on the day of the show", and the box-office is open since 9 a.m., does that mean that I will be able to collect the ticket at 9 a.m? Does anybody know?

You will get another confirmation/information mail from mk.com shortly before the show. There you will find all details to pick up the tickets. It's quite easy.

Thank you! I thought I'd get it, but it's important to know the opening time as earlier as possible, so I decided to ask here. Ok, will be waiting for the info...
The point is that I won't be able to attend the show on 28th of May, as I am leaving London at 10-46 from Victoria station. If I could collect the ticket from 9 to 10 a.m., it might be possible to sell it... Otherwise I will have it intact and it's pretty sad...

What seats?

Arena F, row 7, seat 32

Thanks!

I have my only London show on Monday but was thinking about doing another. So maybe I would be a candidate for you ticket if you are willing to sell it. I would be at the Hall whenever you wish.
I have to think about it, though. Haven't booked a flight yet but I am about to do it this week. One more day and one more show would be nice...

If you have any questions or suggestions or whatever, feel free to pm me!

I hope actual collecting time will not be that late as for example in Lisbon 2010 (2 hours before the show)... I can change my departure time, but it cannot be later than 2-3 p.m.... Will try to ask mk.com now, probably they have any idea about the time already. Thanks for your attention LE, will keep you informed.

Update: MK.com people have just replied. They are expecting pick up time info confirmed within the week.
