Photos: The Millennium Dome goes high-tech

A sneak preview of the wireless and RFID tech at the new O2 arena

Mobile and wireless technology will be in widespread use across the venue with 320 wireless access points - including 100 in the concert arena itself - and GSM boosters to ensure there are no problems getting a mobile signal.

O2 customers will receive a variety of special offers including pre-sale ticket priority for concerts and text-based services in the venue which give them access to special 'VIP' bars.

Prices for food and drink, however, are familiarly expensive - £3.50 for a beer and £7 for a sandwich.
