Yes, I wanna be famous like the Japanese fan and get premium treatment at this point lol. Anyway it wasn't an embarrassing show just not visibly sold out and a bit of a flop for such a big name like Aerosmith. I am not surprised they're not playing Berlin this year. Not visibly sold out depends on your standards. I doubt any sold out show in Germany (or pretty much anywhere else where I've been in the rich Europe) is going to look "visibly sold out" to me. For some 9 years, I only went to concerts in Romania, where crammed enough to be bruised the next morning wasn't even necessarily sold out. So one thing that caught my attention at that show in Berlin is how they were closing sectors and not allowing more people to get in once they were filled up to a point. You know, to make sure everyone can get out alive in case anything happens. I think that's more important than looking super full and good in photos. Even Steven's ego would agree that people die at an Aerosmith concert is a far worse title than Aerosmith show doesn't look sold out. The show was not a flop. As long as it does something for someone, it's never a flop. I loved it. It haunted me the next day. I saw people in tears afterwards, unable to believe it was the end. I know you're upset about the bag thing and the prices. But here's the deal: as far as the rules go, you should always know things are always going to be a bit blurry. So think in advance. Make a plan about what you're going to do if you happen not to fit within their rules. Either how to somehow fit or how to break them without getting caught. Because yeah, it's not always fair and you shouldn't always obey, but at the same time, you shouldn't risk the concert experience over it. And two more things you should remember. One, it's usually pointless to argue and try to make people change their minds, you're better off agreeing with them and doing things your way behind their backs. Two, be aware you're a guy and that means there's a chance rules are stricter for you. I got in with two juices, even though they said one recipient only. And concert prices are always a huge ripoff. Seen double those prices since in Belgium and the Netherlands, so yeah, fuck the greedy bastards. I try to stay hydrated before, take in whatever I can, whether they allow it or not, maybe get something to drink from the people on the stage... I'll probably be fine without buying anything. Stupid rules and ripoff prices shouldn't really determine whether you enjoy a show or not. And as far as Nobu is concerned, I have this to say: he's getting premium treatment because he's rich. Rich as in truly rich. Which is why he definitely doesn't want to be famous, he doesn't want the plebes coming with pitchforks at him.

I agree with you but I remember there were chunks of the seated area that were pretty much empty. As for the organisation I was taken by surprise by the rules as it was the first year they became so strict after the Manchester terrorist attack. Now those rules apply everywhere. Here you can see the venue wasn't completely packed. The show itself was good.

Am in the O2 presale waiting room via AXS and there is no indication if this includes golden circle / early entrance 😔

4 minutes to decide... golden circle, no early entrance (unless o2 priority gives that on the day) … argh! £148 or risk it for an extra £50 for "guaranteed early entry" and a pin badge...

How much was the golden circle? I think early entrance is stupid I've never seen anyone entering before the people who get through the security first when the gates open. And if there are any it's just a small group of people you can still reach the barrier nevertheless.

At London 17 some EE were behind me. They were complaining they should have priority but they left to eat/drink whatever. It's all general admission unreserved
