Well the Thames Clipper is a boat that will take you to the o2 - possible its as part of the package - otherwise sounds like its parking at the thames clipper parking spot, so you are guaranteed a space..

Yep know what you mean mate I had 4 tickets for the last night of his O2 gigs and was gutted to not have seen the spectacle. Had to make do with a blue ray copy of "this is it" on the tv and surround sound to try and get some idea of what it could have been like
