All I can say is that for the first time in my and my mates lives we walked out of a gig early because the sound was so bad - at least in 418 & later in 415. We even had trouble identifying tracks that we'd known and loved almost all our adult lives (30 odd years in our cases)
We would have left at the interval but were advised by a member of staff to raise the issue with O2 Customer Services, which we did. They advised that they were aware of problems with the sound and would be trying to sort it for the second half and that if we could try and change seats we should - hence the reference to 415 above.
The sound improved quite a lot initially after the interval but did seem to get worse again after a couple of tracks and we then decided that enough was enough and we left - bitterly disappointed.
For those that say we should have got better tickets, shame on you. We paid our money same as everyone else and should have been able to get a better sound quality than that comparable to having your head stuck in the boot of some deaf drum and bass fan who's just bought themselves a new stereo.
For those that say that I've only joined the forum to complain - then yes, you're correct. Isn't that the reason to have a forum, to voice opinion. If you don't like it then tough. If everyone had done their job properly I'd have no cause for complaint but someone somewhere didn't do what they were paid for.
We've complained to the O2 who say that there is little they can do and we are now taking it up with the promoter - "kennedy street enterprises".
