• If you need to bring a large bag, you will need to leave it at our bag storage facility just outside the main entrance at a cost of £10 per bag. Your American Express Card gets you a complimentary bag drop. Join the Amex® Cardmember lane and drop your bag before your show, at no cost.

• The venue holds no responsibility for the laptop should the laptop be damaged or lost
• The laptop is not to be used inside the arena, if the laptop is seen to be used inside (concourse and bowl) the venue has the right to ask for it to be stored in the bag drop. If the customer is unhappy with this they may be asked to leave. 

Preparing for screening - it's really simple. ​

To continue to keep our visitors, staff and artists safe and provide the very best fan experience, we have implemented a number of important measures to reassure and protect everyone at The O2. These measures are implemented in accordance with the current advice and guidance from UK and local Government, and will be continually reviewed.

• We have partnered with Lifebuoy to become the Official Hand Sanitiser of The O2 with free sanitiser stations placed across the venue.
• We have introduced an air purification system throughout the arena with our Official Specialist Hygiene partner Rentokil Initial whose VIRUSKILLER™ technology removes and kills 99.9999%* of all airborne bacteria and viruses**, including Coronavirus.
• Advanced air filtering system with established quality control measures. Fresh air is brought in at ground level and rises into the arena bowl roof in four locations before being distributed throughout the arena, with stale air exhausted through the arena roof via four extracting fans.
• Enhanced cleaning regimes before, during and post event, sanitising surfaces using long lasting cleaning solutions to reduce the risk of contact infections.
