If you need accessible seating, The O2 actually does this right. The designated spots are elevated and usually in prime locations—Blocks 111 and 112 for some shows, or right at the front of the 400s.
You’re not squeezed in a corner. You get a proper sightline, and your companion sits right next to you. No awkward “can you see?” shuffle. It’s how all venues should work, honestly.
The “Sound Guy” Secret
Ever notice that big mixing desk in the middle of the floor? That’s where the sound engineer sits. And guess what? Those seats around it—usually in blocks A3 or A4—are gold.
Why? Because the audio is mixed for that exact spot. You hear the balanced, crisp version of the show, not the weird echo you get from the rafters. It’s like the artist is singing directly into your ear.
Downside? You’re still on the floor, so the standing crowd might block your view a bit. But your ears will thank you.
