The manager (Nigel) at o2 Brixton was incredibly rude.  Said that it was tough, and that as o2 pay lots in sponsorship they can do what they like.  I am now trying to find contact details for lana's team. 
 
 Can you find that tweet please?  o2 Brixton told me that didn't happen.

She's probably gonna having the boring set list like she had for her other two shows. Yawn

We should all go together and get that front row girlies.
 
I'm so fucking happy she's finally back in Scotland, it's been four and a half years since the Paradise tour!
 
I'm gonna try and get tickets but Glasgow is gonna be so much harder than London. Ticket touts LOVE Scotland cause we rarely get a lot of shows. I'm gonna try my best but idk if anyone would be willing to get me a back-up ticket maybe?

i'm crying omg, it's like 15 minutes from me. i better get tickets.

I can't find the words to describe how I feel about Lana's uk   management saying they don't care , but that really doesn't make Lana look  good . And I'll say it again , you didn't deserved to have that happen to you despite the time that you qued .

Thanks for that info. I have spoken to her record company, left a message with her management company and I'm waiting for 02 academy to call me back. I'm not letting this rest. I assume no one else is complaining because they got in with 02... So a very self centred view point. Anyone else?

@lastgoodbye that is fucking disgraceful. I was furious for me, now I'm furious for you! I am going to raise a petition that I would really appreciate people forwarding and signing. It may go no where but we can try and stop this happening again.

It's very late now, but I'll be back to write about my thoughts on the concert and I'll try to upload a YouTube video if I have time to.
 
I flew from Sweden, arrived late on Sunday night and the first thing my travel/concert companion and I did on Monday morning was to go to an O2 store to buy their cheapest SIM card and make them help us download the app for the priority queue. I had tried to download it before Monday but I couldn't change it to the U.K. market to get it.
And yes, I absolutely agree that it's unfair to have a priority line for their customers when people literally wait for a whole day and get in later - I'd be so sad and furious if we didn't know about their system.
People have been mad in the past too about it if you Google for some other reviews.
 
If I had seen/met any of you I'd definitely let you join us in the queue. One of the friendly girls behind me in the priority line invited someone to join the queue but she didn't want to... I don't know why she refused.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was  extremely unhappy about the 02 priority que situation . I got there at 2:30 pm and I was lucky that I was  second row , but I'm still annoyed about the 02 people being let in first  , and howiet1971 I'm so sorry to hear that despite the fact that you qued up an hour before me, you ended up tenth row, you didn't deserve that , and once I'm again I feel so sorry for you , I will gladly sign that pettion of yours 

What I find frustrating is that she tours so infrequently and always ignore other areas of the UK when she does tour.  It's like London is all that exists.  So frustrating. And because the gig is so soon, people can't plan!  Grrrrrrrrrrr

The thing was, any o2 customer could ''invite'' 3 people into the queue even if they weren't O2. I was queing since 5 am and I ended in the 6th row... I almost cried when I saw people that got there at like 11-12 getting in before me. 
Oh well.. I enjoyed seeing Lana for the first time.. But I'll never do Stalls again, it's only worth it if you're in the first row.. I was being pushed from all sides every 2 mins.. I saw 2 girls almost fainting because of the heat and when I asked people to call security they just ignored me.. then everybody getting their phones out and I couldn't see anything. Oh, and every time Lana started to walk near us, everyone went crazy and started pushing and screaming.. never again..   .. I still enjoyed it, I met some fans in the queue that were really nice.. 

Great show last night bit 13 songs only???
Had a major issue with 02 academy. I queued from 1 and all o2 priority ticket holders got let in before everyone else no matter what time they got there. Disgusting. That's an abuse of their monopoly owning all these venues. I accept that O2 customers can get early bird tickets but to be let in first??? Nah. I was 10th row in the end.

Yup, she absolutely rehearsed it, I heard it too. And I swear Summer Bummer, the backing vocals on that are pretty unique. 

 
I thought that was disgusting too! I mean like, -all- of them got in before anyone else? Not fair at all. 

The stage is so nice i dont mind it being used, that set list though, gurl cmon, you got 5 albums, choise some new shit.
She looks great though x

Yes that's really a short set. Last year at Montreux Jazz Festival (where she had an evening show on her own, so it's not a normal festival) she played over 90 mins (including the Salvatore accappella) and that's what I would expect from a Lana concert regarding how many songs she has written and recorded. She could literally have an entire tour playing a new set of songs every evening!
I remember a few years back R.E.M. rehearsed about 100 songs they would play on their tour, so every gig was different.

You can queue there as long as you want.  You will be queuing outside the venue and they will be very used to it. I queued for hours there for Madonna and Lady Gaga.

Is this the same show some guys saw a few months ago? That Lana would play in the U.K. and we all thought it would be the start of a tour? And then the date was taken down..?
