I am going to one of the RAH shows (not going to say which one) and I've got Arena FUCKING E. Come on, how can this be? I was on time! This is so painfully disappointing I even think about not going to London at all. Flight and accomodation cost quite a lot, not sure if it's worth the financial trouble just to sit in the back of nowhere. Yes, I am still totally, utterly pissed.

Don't feel too bad, the RAH isn't actually that large.  When you're low down the floor area is actually relatively small - looks much bigger on TV.

It hasn't much to do with size. Row 6 and further is bad in the RAH; I've been there several times and so has goldenheart96.
Even stalls are better because they're elevated.

I don't think all what is written is true. I have 1 seat in Newcastle: 1st row. 6 seats RAH first night first row. But 3 seats Cologne 7th row (but didn't have a code, which seemed to be crucial in Germany this time). So maybe my internetconnection is faster or whatever, but I don't see a connection between number of tix and seats
No, I don't think there is, either.
Strangely enough, however:
I've booked 2 (veeery quickly!) for one night at the rah.
Later the same day I've booked another 4 for the same show.
How come I was assigned 6 bad seats all next to each other in row xy (sfa...) ?

Its like the Tardis Effect that Guy mentioned...

If you are not Doctor Who fans, the tardis is a space ship that its used to travel in time/space, that from the inside is very big, but from the outside is just a Police Box (like a phonecall box, but blue).

The RAH is like that. However any seat in the hall is good, probably the worst ones (except the circles) are in the floor because of all the people seated blocking your view.

Like this (made extending my arms as much as I could...so actually the view is worse than you can see in the picture)
