ANOTHER AWESOME YEAR AT THE O2
Milestone: The O2 Smashes Records with Over Two Million Tickets Sold
The O2 has racked up another record year, reporting over two million tickets sold to shows at the venue. As we look back on our long-standing partnership with the world’s most popular music and entertainment destination, it is clear that the London O2 Arena capacity, which accommodates up to 20,000 people, remains the gold standard for global touring.
About the O2 Arena
The O2 Arena is a premier indoor venue on London’s Greenwich Peninsula, famous for hosting world-class music and sporting events. Originally the Millennium Dome, it has evolved into the world’s most popular music and entertainment destination.
London O2 Arena Capacity
The London O2 Arena capacity is approximately 20,000 for concerts. For sporting events like basketball or tennis, the capacity typically ranges between 17,500 and 19,000 depending on the configuration. Managing this scale requires massive logistical effort, often supported by teams like the "O2 Angels" to ensure a seamless guest experience for millions of fans.
A Landmark Year for Entertainment
The venue recently smashed records by selling over two million tickets in a single year. With a London O2 Arena seating capacity that accommodates such vast crowds, it remains the gold standard for global touring. High-profile residencies and performances from artists like Ariana Grande, Sam Smith, and Michael McIntyre continue to cement its status as a top-tier global landmark.
“We’ve seen a huge amount of activity at The O2 this year, with the opening of Icon Outlet, Oxygen Freejumping and not to mention the record breaking content that’s kept over two million entertained. I’d like to thank each and every person at The O2 and I’m confident that Steve Sayer will oversee another incredible year, when he takes over as VP & General Manager in 2019.”
Venue Features
Beyond its scale, the O2 features a state-of-the-art sound system and flexible seating. The complex also includes the smaller Indigo at The O2, the Icon Outlet shopping center, and a wide range of dining options.
The Power of the O2 Angels
We’re so incredibly proud to support O2 at their biggest entertainment venue! Last year saw us supply O2 with over 4,000 O2 Angels for event days alone!
Managing the London O2 Arena seating capacity requires a massive logistical effort. Our "Angels" were on the ground to ensure that every one of those two million fans experienced the very best in guest services, from the moment they entered the peninsula to the final encore.
WHAT DOES 2019 HAVE IN STORE?
