09.11.09
LONDON's O2 arena has been voted the world's best arena by the music industry. The Greenwich venue, which opened in 2007, took the title from New York's Madison Square Garden, which held it for five years.
The arena, which has sold nearly 1.6million tickets this year, won the prize at the Billboard Awards, which honour music's top artists, professionals and venues.
David Campbell, chief executive and president of AEG Europe, the O2's owner, said: "The O2 has generated more than 2,500 jobs and this award is for those people."
