Just been on to the RAH. Don't know if this has been covered elswhere but I am informed of the following:-

Tickets on sale 9.00am - Online, By Phone or at the RAH itself.

Cost - not yet fixed but expected to be £35 - £45.

Also standing tickets are right at the back of the RAH - everything in front of Joe is seated.

Finally drinks available in the foyer but not in the auditorium unless you have a box, but apparently virtually all of those are privately owned.

Hope this helps.

On behalf of the boys from London - Tripsy. See you there.

As mentioned in Relayer’s post below (and Valleyboy’s above – wish I could type faster), the only standing area at the RAH will be in the Gallery and is not recommended for the reasons given. I estimate the cost of these standing tickets will be around £15 or $22.50 or €18. I’d also not recommend the seats in the circle as, although they don’t look too high, being just above the third tier of boxes, they are actually a long way up and like sitting on the edge of a cliff – not recommended if you suffer from vertigo!

I understand the prices of the seated tickets will be:

Arena and Stalls:    £35 or $52.50 or €42

Boxes:            £45 or $67.50 or €54

Circle:            £28 or $42.00 or €33.50

Prices calculated by me on exchange rates of $1.50 to the £ and €1.20 to the £. These rates and the above amounts are for information only as you will have to pay the RAH or ticket agency in GBP. Ticket prices are higher than we’re used to for Joe’s shows, but that’s the price of fame and, in my opinion, it’s still a bargain for such a monumental occasion.

When 9.00am GMT arrives on Friday, make sure you have a copy of the auditorium seating plan to hand so that you know what you are buying. The following links provide an excellent indication of the seating layout and the positives and negatives of each seat. Be aware that there is no slope or rake in the Arena area, so the view from around row 7 back could be restricted if, like me you’re not the tallest.

Stalls seating plan: (the stalls have the best views if you can’t get the front row of the Arena)

Boxes seating plan: (if you’re feeling rich)

Choir seating plan: (not a good idea unless you are drummer and want to watch Bogie’s technique and the back of Joe’s head all night   – I’ve sat in the choir for an EC gig and it’s not recommended)

I’m hoping to stay at a hotel in London that night and look forward to spending some time with my Bonabuddies.

Thanks Phil. The seating chart is a big help.
I'll be waiting to see the rest of the tour schedule round out.
I'm sure to be spending a few nights in London and (depending on Joe's schedule) the week before or after at locations TBD.

Thanks Wooders for making it easier for us all! 

The private boxes are great, but you need to make sure you book the seats in the front of the box, not like I did once and end up at the back not being able to see much.  Trouble is I can't now remember if seats 1 and 2 are front or back ...  The good thing about a box though is that you can take drinks in there.

I've also sat in the stalls and they're fine. 

Honestly, I'm going to be happy just getting a ticket.

Thanks for keeping us all informed. You Britts rock.
