Ok let me give you my story/review:
We got there at like 3:40, picked up our EE and queued for over 2 hours and when we got in we was about 4th row which I was fine with as we didn't queue for that long. The O2 is HUGE on the inside and was filling up slowly. Standing inside, squished up for another hour and a half was beyond hell. Time was going so slow.
Luke James came on and everyone went crazy when they showed the cameo of him in the RTW vid because Bey was there, and he did good. He kind of gave me male Xtina teas (screaming a lot) but he worked the crowd well.
I honestly thought the show wasn't going to be full up (even tho it was sold out) as there was so many empty seats but in the last 15-20 minutes it was jam packed and not an empty seat in sight.
They played the HEAT commercial, H&M and Pepsi and the stans were going off to SOTS and GW.
Finally, the lights went out and the black B cutain dropped and everyone went crazy, the crowd was beyond hype. I saw several people hysterically crying just at the video intro before she even came on stage
Finally, she rose from the stage and the fireworks went off, she tried to pull a fierce serious face, but everyone was going ****ing crazy and she couldn't help but smile.
From then on everythings kind of a blur, things go so fast. The staff were giving out cups of water to everyone standing in the interludes thank god.
I saw 2 people faint. 1 after WDYLM and 1 during 1+1, they were both on the left side of the barrier.
It was seriously the most perfect night of my life, it was worth the struggle for tickets and even better then what I thought my first Bey experience would be like.
Highlights: WDYLM, Get Me Bodied, Schoolin' Life, Love On Top, the intro, tbh all of it!
Criticism?: Not really an issue for me but she hasn't really been doing the single ladies choreo properly this tour and the casual fan might get annoyed but idc.
I'm bald, my voice has gone, I'm partially deaf and feel like I've been at the gym for 6 hours straight but it was by far the best experience of my life.
