ABBA Voyage Concert Experience

I'm sure you will have a great time.
BTW Ticketmaster is the official ticket seller so when you go to the ABBA Voyage website and click on buy tickets it takes you to Ticketmaster.
Also would suggest you check in advance on the TFL website to see if there are any weekend closures on the tube and DLR lines.

Fingers crossed all the strikes will be over by then, but will definitely check before that the DLR and tube lines are open.

So I finally saw this last night after incredibly managing to avoid any major spoilers for the last few months. Wow what a show!
We had seats on the very back row and occasionally the holograms looked a little flat, but boy the sheer spectacle made up for it. The screens, the lighting...incredible. When the lights descended from the roof, the view across the auditorium was breathtaking.
I loved the choice of songs. When it started with one of my two favourite songs from them, then I knew it was going to be good. To then have my second favourite (When All is Said and Done) included when I wasn't expecting it actually made me cry, especially given my personal circumstances at the moment.
An incredible show,there will be a return visit hopefully on the dancefloor for a different perspective.

Saw it today. Incredible. I was stood right at the front and after a while I forgot it was a screen. I love that they included a bit of badinage and talking to the audience. Lovely to hear songs like The Visitors and Summer Night City too, not just a greatest hits. Is it right that they actually recorded more songs to update the show at some point?

TBH I wasn't that keen on this. It is like the difference between a CD and Vinyl. I found it very clean and sanitised.

Saying that, it was worth seeing it just for the technology. It's amazing how fast things are changing.....

In addition I am very glad it wasn't "ABBA Greatest Hits". That would have added to the CD ambiance.

Email for priority booking from tomorrow just arrived with general booking from Thursday for new booking period To the end of November 2023.

One of the hottest tickets in town, visitors from around the world and the ABBAtars will have played more concerts than the real ABBA did in their heyday, although with the sellout voyage concerts, Mamma Mia still playing in London and around the world, the Mamma Mia party dinner event still running and opening new venues, countless abba tribute bands playing around the world and the 30 year old gold album still in the charts they are having a pretty good heyday now.

Remarkable way for them to celebrate their 50th year since their first official recording as a group with people need love in 1962.

Now that the devoted fans have seen it (once at least) and raved about it for weeks, it's interesting that those with a more casual acquaintance with the songs, those going along out of curiosity, or dragged there by partners are reacting on social media in a similar way to the devotees. Friends who would once have said "I hate Abba, but..." think it's one of the best shows they've ever seen.

Whereabouts are the bottom prices located?

So essentially next to the stage where the illusion is least effective? For £22.50 I’d be ripping their arm off!

Looks like the seating plan is available now. Only 26 bottom price seats per performance (The date I've picked £21.50 when the ones around them are £55)

Saw this yesterday afternoon: there were issues with the DLR from Stratford that meant by the time I got to the arena, joined the queue and actually got in, there was about 5 minutes before the show started, and the only proper space on the dance floor was right at the front but I managed to get to a really good position to see things, I’d say I was about ten or so rows from the front but I could see all the screens without having to turn round too much.

Obviously ABBA aren’t short of a few bob but the quality of everything in the show was top notch, the venue, lighting, lasers, projection and sound were all faultless, the closest thing I can compare it to was seeing an act like the Chemical Brothers or going to a club like Printworks. With regards to the actual ABBAtars, at first I thought the facial expressions and movement seemed a bit odd and creepy, like The Irishman or a cut scene from Grand Theft Auto: I don’t know if it was my brain getting used to them but by the end I had got used to it and didn’t think about it.

I’m not the biggest fan of ABBA, I’ve got a copy of Gold and that’s it so o don’t anything that wasn’t a single but I really enjoyed the show (didn’t enjoy who it was standing behind me that shouted ‘aha!’ in an Alan Partridge voice during Knowing Me, Knowing You though…)

I have friends who have been to see this 3 or 4 times, but once was enough for me. You cant fault what they have achieved here. The technology is fantastic, right down to the shadows on the floor and the sparkle from their costumes when they are in darkness at the back of the set. When they first appear, it tricks your mind because it's so well done. Unfortunately when you see them in close up on the screens, which is all the time, they appear a bit vacant and there wasn't enough expression to make it truely lifelike. They looked dead behind the eyes.

I was a bit bored after 30 minutes because i couldnt buy into the whole 'its a concert' scenario. It was more like a cinema because its all screens everywhere. Why are people shouting at screens? They cant hear you. Also, there were quite a few songs that were just video because the Abbatars were not used. Why?

The purpose built arena itself is a spectacular bit of kit and the lighting was very impressive. Being at a 1pm show on a sunday didnt help. Abba for me is best enjoyed after a few drinks, not on a dreary lunchtime, at a time when I'm usually reading the papers in bed, The show also started about 10 mins late. Wasn't anyone available to press play?


I'm curious as to why this is in the musicals section of the board when its not a stage show nor a musical.
