Chemically_Romantic:

^^ i wouldn't be too worried about that to be honest
they hardly ever ask about age
just keep it in mind but just go as normal

I got ID'd when i was at a over 16's gig. I was 18 at the time!!! lol

hey i just e-mail o2 about cameras coz it says on the website they aren't alowed but this is what the guy who e-mailed me said


Hello Stephannie,

The policy at the O2 is that any cameras under 35mm lens are allowed in,
i.e if it fits in your pocket no problem but no larger cameras, SLR's
are allowed and will be confiscated for the concert and returned
afterwards.

Regards

Is anybody aswell as me and my friend needing to stay somewhere over night after the concert?

Yup. I looked on the O2 website but it doesn't say what's nearest as venues usually do and I don't know London so I guess I have some googling ahead!

Theres not much around it apparently apart from a 16 minute walk expensive Holiday inn..

Me and my mate have found a travel lodge 2.5 miles North of the Arena. =] which means we'd have to get a Tube.

I dunno if that helps. just do some googling.. its alrite priced aswell cause my budget aint exactly big LOL

don't worry i don't know London either

I'm kinda scared. but MCR are gonna be well worth it =]

Hmm... mine would fit into a, big pocket I suppose. Under 35mm lens?? *peers at camera* Hurray!!! Mines tiny (says : 5.8mm-17.4mm). Woo. Good idea about e-mailing them! Thanks!

If you're under 14 I just agree with what everyone else has said. Try to look older and not look nervous and if possible, latch onto some older people who could maybe help you out with getting in if you have any problems.

There are a bunch of hotels around the docklands but they're not that cheap and you'll have to get a tube or bus there but it'll only be one or two stops I think. Look up places like canary wharf and the excel centre they will have hotels nearby. I'm bloody lucky as I'm 20 minutes away.

MCR are definitely worth it!

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out. I have to watch my pennies too! I don't think I really thought this thru very well Ah well, I'll be happy at the gig!

On the age issue, I'd say what the others are saying, just try to look confident and make sure you know what your DOB would be if you were 16. I doubt they'll have time to ID everyone who looks under 16/borderline. Alternatively, just make friends with some older fans in the queue!

They ID everyone who looks under 21, and they wont ask ur birthdate, they ask for actual ID

^^ Uh oh.

They ID everyone at the O2 arena? I've never had to do that at any venue before. Meh I'll hopefully have a driving license by then to prove my age.

What sort of stuff do you take as ID? I'm 16 so I'll be fine, but I don't know what to take!

Doh! I'll just order my provisional sooner then XD haha.

The ID thing is a tad harsh, they didn't do it at the Wembley Arena. But they did stop my friends little brother from standing in the middle. He was 11/12 I think and they made him and his sister stand at the side for the whole concert.

Oh and a tip for camera's if you want to take pics don't be at the barriers. I was at the barriers and I only got about 3 pictures and some footage on my phone. God bless Gerard Way for telling us to always get our phones out for the ghost of you. I suggest that if you are at the barriers and want pictures, just slip back into the crowd like let one person in front of you and then click away, just be sure to take off your flash.

ID everyone who looks under 21 just to check if they're under 16?! lol that's gonna take them some time! It'll take forever to get everyone in the venue if they do that!

where are you travelling from may i ask?

I'm from Shropshire - Welsh border but I'm going to Newcastle and Sheffield first - so Sheffield I guess.

^^ would they even have time to do that? Because a hell of a load of people aren't gonna have ID.

Its the same with Alcohol, if you wanna buy it, you have to be 18 (Obviously), but they ID everyone who looks 21 or under (its called "think 21" ) cos some people look older/younger than their actual age. Provisional ID or drivers license would do as ID.

When i was at a show once, the bouncers came out a few times to the people who were in the que and told them they needed ID, so if they didnt have it they could go home n get it.

^^
Okay thanks I'll make sure I bring something.

Oh and to every one that has a oyster card sometimes you can't use it as proof of ID because it doesn't have your DOB on it. I've tried to use it as ID before and they reject it for those reasons.
