Got a seat in row 17 of the arena in the Livenation presale. £75 including fees. When I asked for the next price up, I was offered a seat in a box. The next price down was in the circle (or whatever it's called at the RAH). I didn't look to see where the £160 seats are.

£75 for a decent seat, a show that ends after midnight on a school night, a venue that holds 5,500 people. I can't see this selling out.
