American company Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), who also owns AEG Live, has put the 02 London arena on the market.

AEG is the top ticket-selling arena venue on the plant, according to third quarter numbers from Pollstar Pro. It's sold 803,223 so far this year. AEG Live is the second highest tickseller on the globe, with 6,691,428 sold so far this year, Pollstar Pro recently reported.

The venue seats around 20,000, depending on the event, and is one of the largest arena in Europe.

Owners said it was the right time to "maximize value for all concerned" and hopes to fetch from $6 billion-$10 billion at auction. With a B, Reuters reports.
