Do you know if the standing area has a segragated pit at the front or is it just all one area like Brixton?
Some of the seating tickets are dearer than the standing, maybe theres a seated area near the front?
I think at the O2 there'd only be a segregated front standing area if the band/promoters asked for it. Which I'd guess means not for the Pogues... (When we were there for Broooce a few years back, they did have a reserved area at the front, which was accessible by wristbands, which they gave out to the first however many people were in the queue at the doors. Or maybe that was at the NEC. Not sure now. Your memory goes as you get older. Doesn't sound like the sort of thing that would happen at a Pogues gig anyway.)
The Arena's standing bit is the whole of the flat floor (the yellow bit on the plan below). The seating is banked up round the sides (the blue bits, plus the red if they're also using the upper tier). If they ever get around to sending me my tickets, we should be seated in one of the blue bits near the stage, but over to one side.
