    Ive just booked tickets for Brook-GGG fight. I'm in the upper desk.

    Still a good spot to view the fight?

    Not really a bad seat..I have been to the 02 a few times right on the top and still had a good view. Though the steep stairs going back and forth to the bar can be a challenge as the night goes on!

    I was there for Frock Kessler II and was sat in the upper tier still a good view and great atmosphere in there. Much better than the Wembley fight stadium fights just don't work for boxing IMO

    I went to the big card with Josh-Kevin Johnson Mitchell-Linares etc, and I was in the upper deck too. You can see the ring perfectly well, but that was my first fight card I have been too, and although I certainly enjoyed it, I did say to myself afterwards that if I ever did it again I would buy tickets closer to the ring. In the end I was mainly watching the fights on the big screen rather than in the actual ring, put it that way.

    Definitely not - you will look like an ant from the ring.

    Had tickets for AJ v Whyte in lower tier and AJ v Martin in upper tier. Obviously lower is better but the view/ atmosphere is ok from the great heights of the O2.

    Off the record, the O2 doesn't usually fill up until the later fights (say 3 or 4 from end). There is nothing stopping you watching most of the undercard from the lower tier before moving up stairs.

    Not really a bad seat in the house at the o2, similar to Manchester Arena.

    As the above poster mentions, you can float about before it gets busy... who knows you might land yourself in a section where someones moved on and can keep yourself there.

    So sold out but can still get from resellers

    So is Lower 111 really better than Floor tickets ?

    Yes, I would be happy with them. The seats are just below the Sky VIP bar above above where the ring walks take place.

    From what I remember there was a large number of Luke Campbell friends, family, fans etc sat there on the AJ v Whyte bill (presumably taken from boxers ticket allowance). Shame their man came up short that night.

    Went for Froch vs Kessler in the lower tier, cracking view was right next to the Sky boys, got my photo with Andre Ward who was the only one who took time out to have photos etc
