My tickets from AXS/O2 have arrived. Most boring tickets ever, but barcodes seem fine.
My Ticketmaster tickets not been dispatched yet.

My barcodes are very faded but I think as long as the number can be seen it is OK. Though that could be quite chaotic knowing how long it takes in supermarkets when barcodes don't work. I think I shall get there early.

My tickets have arrived yesterday.

Mine have the same ink issues as yours, but I don't think that will be a problem. The tickets are indeed very ugly and boring. ;-)

Extremely boring tickets, I agree, but I'm thankful to have received them in reasonable time. I'm also seeing Moody Blues the following evening and none of those tickets have yet been despatched. I'm beginning to think they must be awaiting delivery of a new machine that can produce a better quality of printing!

Does anyone know what time this concert is due to start? - everything I've received just states 18.30, but I presume that's when doors open.

Just now as I was watching a few videos from the 2012 tour I realized that today in a week, I will see Leonard and his band again. :shock:

Unbelievable. It will be amazing. We are so lucky :)

I could need some help from people that have already been to the O2 Arena.

On Google Map I see these "Docklands Light Railway" lines that are running along the opposite site of the O2 Arena. Are these normal Underground lines that can be used or are they only run by trains that don't stop? I just don't get it why they are marked differently than normal tube lines. Because they are overground? ;-)

And what about transportation after the concert? Leonard plays for quite a time, I hope that the tubes are still running? Or will we have an early curfew shortening the set... :?

I realise that my question sounds a bit stupid, but I prefer finding out about these lines now over getting stressed two hours before the show. ;-)

If you want to get there by tube then take the jubilee line(the grey one) to the north greenwich station.

The tube runs till about 12:30am, I've never had a problem getting back after a concert. The only problem is getting on the train with all the crowds! My tip: get the tube one stop in the other direction as noone is going that way (Canning Town I think), then simply cross the platform and get on a nice empty tube train and sit all the way back into London :lol:

I got my Leonard tickets last week. Not the most artistic but was just happy to see them come throught the letterbox.

I am also going to the Moody Blues gig but I got the tickets via email ages ago without any problem.

I assume that the concert may start at 19.30 or 19.45 but just guessing ....

Thanks for your reply James-on-tour.

Still not got my Moody Blues tickets yet and when I checked status of order today it says 0% ot tickets despatched, so I've now changed it to collect tickets from the box office. When I purchased them through See tickets I received the usual email (as for Leonard's) saying 'tickets will be despatched as soon as possible, but may not be received until the week of the event' etc. - they were definitely not emailed to me. You must have ticked a different box when ordering and I think in future I may choose that option.

If the Moody Blues were playing in my garden I'd close the curtains.
