    Opeth- London Gig.

    Good review... There were seperate tickets for the balcony, two of my friends were up there as they were told that the standing tickets had sold out. They apparently had a great and clear view. Standing tickets had not sold out though as my girlfriend managed to buy one from the Box Office...
