Tickets in second row so very pleased, but once again beaten by just a second or two in trying to get a front row seat :) . Very much looking forward to this concert, and so pleased that reserved seating now seems to be the norm.

Have a seat third row, you need to be fast to get that front row seat but happy with the third.

A nicely made 360° virtual visit of the abbey :)

You can see clearly the reserved seat you will occupy.

Many thanks looks good, don't look like a lot of room for a stage but certain they will work it all out.

Yes, thanks for the link to the 360 degree view. So easy to see seating. Still some premium seats left at time of writing, but I'm sure sales will pick up once the Easter break is over.

Lookiing at the detail in the panoramic link the space within the choir looks too narrow for staging purposes and the space in front of the seats is too constarined also. My guess is that one or more of the front rows of seats as shown in the panorama will be removed. With the individual and movable seats at this venue, then staging can be varied according to the event.

Damn, didn't see this until now. Closest seats available appear to be around the tenth row. By any chance, does anyone have any spare in the first six rows?

Probably a long shot, but would be great! :D

Long shot but is anyone arriving into Gatwick on the Friday night and driving from there to a guesthouse or other type of accomodation?? And returning on Sunday morning?

Just trying to work out the logistics :D

Flying in to Southampton then have Travelodge at Eastleigh Station just a short trip away from the airport and just a 12 min train ride away from Romsey very reasonable for the 2 nights, depending on arrival time it may be doable for yourself to travel down from Gatwick.
