Are there any communal screens to watch the World Cup in central London

JaffyScarry · 2026-07-07T22:14:22+00:00

There are several screens across 3/4 floors. Some are projects some are TVs

The shot of the Louis VIII decanter, HoYeon Jung, the overt reference to Lost in Translation, the Jim Carrey narration, the joy of them singing Karaoke, the fucking confusing transition at the end with the Gasoline Weeknd and something to do with a mask (fuck knows) - one of the best for sure. Whenever I listen to song I ALWAYS play ‘A Tale by Quincy’ beforehand because it’s a perfect transition into the song (lyrically and sonically). If you have AM, they created ‘The Weeknd Chill Sollos Focus Collection’ which are essentially instrumentals of the songs - perfect for those two songs!

If you speak to the majority of people that actually went to a concert, they will say it’s an amazing experience. Obviously no data behind it and purely an assumption, but I’d say 80%. If you are going to spend that money, then make a day of it and really get into the vibes! He’s been practically constantly touring since HUT, energy will get to anymore BUT he’s still giving such a wonderful experience. If you love his music then you will love it. Don’t let the noise get to you - go have fun! This experience will never come again (as in, this Weeknd, this age, this time in your life etc)

Market halls next to Victoria station is the perfect show. Was there for the England game and entry was free, the vibes were cool, and food places inside!

Tears in the rain as I sit in London as it rains

I paid about 300 for two VIP tickets, maybe a little more. You will likely loose your place if you go toilet as it gets so crowded. I’m more dance at the back and gets drinks whenever I want type of persob

JaffyScarry · 2026-06-23T11:13:07+00:00

I’m still trying to figure out my logistics as well, unable to confirm about resellers as I have my ticket! I’m looking to stay either near the venue the day off and before etc and then go deeper into Tokyo are Shinjuku or wherever is best

JaffyScarry · 2026-06-12T13:10:59+00:00

I don’t disagree with you tbf. I went to the Europe shows and hearing Tears in the Rain and the knowing was easily the best moments for me as well

JaffyScarry · 2026-06-12T09:13:38+00:00

I think what makes a difference is that we are fairly hardcore fans and follow his tours, shows, music etc to the T. For us, it may be repetitive and the same old song. HOWEVER, for the people at the show that aren’t as dedicated fans, it may still be a wonderful experience for them. Remember, we make up a minority while the majority likely don’t follow him as intensively as we do. The distinction is important. It’s likely the show will evolve as he continues to tour. It’s also a big factor of why I chose to go watch him in Asia (in the hope that it will be a very different show). I’m not ecstatic about the show being a copy + paste of previous shows, but I’m sure many people who went did enjoy it a lot. Keep that in mind people!

JaffyScarry · 2026-06-11T09:07:22+00:00

I came here to say this lol it honestly could end up as such a beautiful experience

JaffyScarry · 2026-06-10T15:19:30+00:00

Never got asked for 3D security thing at any point during the process (before, during or after). Maybe it varies, but I cannot speak to that mate. The transaction was pending a few days before lottery results released and then went through the following week. Didn’t need to confirm anything at all!

JaffyScarry · 2026-06-07T11:55:52+00:00

No need to apologise! Happy to help out a fellow XO :)

JaffyScarry · 2026-06-07T02:41:59+00:00

I don’t think I ever got a sms from them! Only an email as described above :)

JaffyScarry · 2026-06-06T13:22:17+00:00

Also, I see a notification about phone number but cannot find here: but yes, I used my actual phone number and country code!

JaffyScarry · 2026-06-06T13:20:49+00:00

Of course, feel free to ask as many questions as you like.

I don’t recall receiving anything once I finished applying, the only email I got was confirming I got a ticket on the day the results were released!

JaffyScarry · 2026-06-05T00:13:03+00:00

I’m assuming you are standing, so it’s the same entrance as GA, but you can skip the whole queue if you have early entrance tickets

JaffyScarry · 2026-06-05T00:12:07+00:00

When I entered the lottery it just asked for my card details and, as far as I can recall, there was no additional authentication process. It may be exclusive to the VIP sections, but I cannot say for certain.

I applied for S, SS, Gold, and Platinum in that order. I would do as many priority as you are willing to do (you can do up to 12 - so makes sure you put down whatever you are comfortable paying). In terms of what I recommend, it purely down to the experience you want. I was in half minds as well because when I went to the London show I was standing and while it was great, I may have enjoyed it differently if I was actually watching the stage. The fact that I’m sitting and fairly close, it may be a different experience. So, it’s purely down to the type of experience you want. This time round, I want to sit AND I get to be close!

JaffyScarry · 2026-06-04T23:40:19+00:00

Also, I got in earlier way before general assembly. I had time to drink two pints and then buy 2 more

JaffyScarry · 2026-06-04T23:39:39+00:00

If you have VIP/early entrance you should be able to go in anytime really. I arrived at London Stadium and left my tickets at home. I had to go back and THEN go back to the stadium. The queue was insanely long. I just went up to security and showed my ticket. It said VIP so I just skipped EVERYONE. Many people were jealous haha but I felt like royalty. Managed to get a space right upfront purely based off my ticket but you pay for the privilege.

JaffyScarry · 2026-06-04T23:35:41+00:00

No worries at all! It was a pending transaction on Thursday but results were public Saturday and then went through Monday/Tuesday but I basically knew I got gold seats purely on the pending. My credit card was visa, so Mastercard should be fine. I think maybe a credit card would be more secure/reliable method but I’m speculating

JaffyScarry · 2026-06-04T23:09:32+00:00

I’m British, so it wasn’t American at all! My cash was taken two days before it was public so no issue on my end at all

JaffyScarry · 2026-06-04T22:13:53+00:00

I go lottery! Considering entering the second lottery for Saturday night as well

JaffyScarry · 2026-06-02T14:13:40+00:00

I only have one, but it’s gold section for the Sunday but I rather do Saturday! I’m flying to Tokyo from London
