Got upgraded last night (3rd night running), but this time the lady would only do it if we exchanged our original tickets with her.

Default upgrades
I got upgraded on sunday night. Spent a while walking about looking for these dudes with 'wads of tickets' in their hands but saw nothing. Watched One Republic from my block, block 111 but then decided to take the bull by the horns.
Went to customer services and blatantly asked them for an upgrade.

Low and behold they gave me Block A3 row G, 6th row!!!! Turned out to be right next to walkway and I had the best view of any BJ concert I've ever had!!!

Two words - customer services.

(Although dont try it on Friday when I go again until Ive done it!!!)

Well done

Can I ask where the customer services were? We have 111 tickets too! Is there just one customer service area or are there a few?

Jamesd thanks for this, i am going to try and spot somebody and if that fails, I may go and speak to customer services and ask. I dont agree with asking, but if you dont ask you dont get!

I have read that a few people have bagged upgrades this way so i may be cheeky and ask too.

Sorry one last question. What do you ask for at customer services? to you literally just ask if there are any better seats available?

What did you say, and where is it?

I had a really bad ticket the 4th O2 show and I went straight to the customers section at 118 upstairs and told them that I flew in from Holland and that my ticket was terrible. They told me to come back 10 minutes before the show and I was upgraded to block A3.

With regards to customer services, we went there and asked about the possibility of seat upgrades on Saturday and were told VERY bluntly that the show was 'completely sold-out'...

...5 minutes later we get handed block 112 seats from a passing O2 staff.

To Update my previous posts.

Walked round the o2 pretty much twice but could not spot any o2 staff with tickets.

Bit the bullet and asked at the small customer services desk outside of block 118. We were offered 2 seats but they were row T block 111. as we were in block 118 we chose to stay where we were. So i didnt see it as a upgrade as such. so declined there offer.
