With Seetickets you don't find out. I've had to buy from them quite a few times; one Bruce show in 2002 I just bought and was thankful for getting a ticket (sold out in 2-5 minutes) and then I found out where I was sat when it arrived through the mail 2 weeks before the show.

Actually that was one of the most expensive tickets I'd ever paid at the time... 40 pounds

I worked out the percentages on the O2 booking fees:

£200 ticket - 24.06% fee
£100 ticket - 25.52%
£75 - 26.49%
£65 - 27.09%

Percentage-wise, they're hitting the "poor" people up for more when they try to buy the "cheap" seats. Nice regressive tax there, Jon. Which economists are you listening to?!

The whole thing sucks. They should be ashamed of themselves. Unfortunately, I'm very sure they aren't.

I found out
First find the tier you are on
Then the numbers, all the blocks have different numbers on them
Then the row

This isnt exactl the seating for Jovi but it will help show where the seats are

Its a really good point this. The excuse/reasoning will of course be "well the touts have been buying up tickets for years and selling them on marked by x %"
This is of course an excuse and a very poor one. Selling on has always happened its just more obvious now than before.

It does not give anyone the right to charge these prices they are playing on our loyalty and it stinks to hell.

Thank you. As I told my friends on Facebook when this occurred to me, my econ professor from all those years ago would be so proud that something stuck and I finally applied it to real life. RIP Professor E.E. Liebhofsky. (He must be dead. He was 192 years old in 1982.)
