Would be good standing anywhere in this venue as long as you are not under the overhang from the balcony. O2 Priority goes in first. Stood 4 rows back, and still super close!
Standing at the back. Apologies for slightly zoomed photo but the view was perfect. They have removed the benches in the balcony here and replace with numbered seats, but sold as unreserved- terrible idea as there were loads of singles left.
Unreserved seating. Far stage left on front row, aisle seat. Great view although barrier right in front of you. There is a large enough gap that it doesn't really obstruct your view. Way better than being stood at the back downstairs. Not allowed to stand.

Very good view evn with people in front, im about average height and could still see perfectly fine
Floor standing. Very small venue, it was overcrowded and hot, they had certainly let too many people in the venue. The vamps were fantastic nevertheless!
We were about 10 'rows' back, but the crowd moves around so wherever you stand the view will be good. It is also quite a small venue, so even if you are at the back of standing your view will be great.
Great seat, just the usual issue with the O2 Academy Birmingham having a huge rail at about head height when seated (and not allowed to stand). Amazing concert, still. Would definitely go front row if seated at this venue.
Great view, but all seats at the academy are obstructed by an overly high fence (which isn't visible in this photo). Sound great, and the K's were amazing.
Good view from the photo, but new fence means you have to put your head right up to the fence if you are not tall to look under it, this picture was taken under the new fence. Would definitely want front row seating or a front on view or the stage here.
SO hot and stuffy, almost got crushed, smothered by other ppl view was blocked by other people's heads, the mosh pits were dangerous, light effects were so bright I could barely see anything but the vibes were alright ig

Amazing view, O2 Priority goes in first, and people may queue early depending on the concert as it is unreserved standing.
Central barrier, excellent view!

Much better view stood, seats are restricted unless at the back or front row on either side

Was towards the back end of the pit but still had a good view. Got reasonably warm towards the end but the bar was passing out water
