The Birds Of A Feather songstress is performing at the venue for six nights during her Hit Me Hard And Soft Tour.
And every food vendor has been required to offer 100% plant-based options, removing all animal products from the arena for the evening.
The menu included a peri-peri haloumi wrap, a corn naan, chipotle tacos, pizzas, and pancakes.
While some of Billie's vegan fans praised her decision, others were left disappointed with the food options after paying upwards of £70 for their tickets.
One attendee told MailOnline: 'Punters were less than impressed with the vegan options - a mixture of pizzas, cauliflower bits and loaded fries.
Another asked: "Did they run out of meat or something?"
When venue staff explained that the instruction had come from Billie, most customers weren't happy.
Before the show started, Billie narrated a short film about veganism, the environment, and all of the steps they have taken on the tour to do their bit.
The crew all eat plant-based food on tour, while her merch is made using sustainable practices.
They also had an Eco Village at the O2 arena to raise awareness of climate change.
Billie Eilish confirms romance with actor Nat Wolff as they kiss despite denying dating rumours
Billie was raised as a vegetarian and has been a consistent advocate for animal rights and veganism, often discussing her beliefs when it comes to animals.
Recently, she confirmed romance rumours with actor Nat Wolff after the pair were spotted snogging in the street.
According to gossip site Deux Moi, the pair enjoyed their passionate moment on a balcony in Venice during a recent trip to Italy.
Billie, who has been in the public eye since 2015, has seen her love life in the spotlight too.
She previously dated rapper Q, singer Jesse Rutherford and actor Matthew Tyler Vorce in the past.
It came after rumours of her relationship with the Los Angeles native started last year.
At the time, a source close to the pair insisted they were "100 per cent a couple."
Earlier this month, Apple Music released its 500 most played songs of all time.
The entire list can be found on the streaming site for fans to listen too in full.
But Billie closed out the top ten with her track - Bad Guy.
This meant that Billie was the only woman to place in the top 10 of the list.
But fans were shocked when Billie left completely empty handed from the Grammys.
Billie was up for seven awards across the evening, including the coveted album of the year for her record, Hit Me Hard and Soft.
However, her hopes of getting acknowledged were dashed when, in the last Grammy honoured of the evening, it went to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter instead.

TV viewers have nothing but praise for Suranne Jones ahead of the release of the brand new drama series Hostage on Netflix. All five episodes of the political thriller, which comes from Academy Award nominee Matt Charman, will drop on the streaming platform on August 21. The series follows French President Vivienne Toussant, played by Julie Delpy, and UK Prime Minister Abigail Denton, played by Jones, as they're caught in the middle of an international incident. France and England's political leaders are set to meet at an international summit when Abigail's husband, Alex, is kidnapped by vigilantes, causing chaos. Her husband's abductors announce that PM Dalton must step down from her position if she ever wants to see her husband alive again.

Amid the uproar, President Toussaint also begins receiving dangerous threats, leaving the leaders of both countries in a race against time to find a resolution. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Charman told Netflix: 'I have always wanted to tell the story of the reality of living where you work as a prime minister and being torn between your family and your country.' Also speaking to the streamer, Jones revealed the true nature of her character: 'She is put in such extreme circumstances, and we see that when push comes to shove, she puts her country over her family.' She then revealed that the original working title for Hostage was The Choice, emphasising the importance of Dalton's tough decision to the overall plot. Jones added: 'I'm thrilled to be on Netflix in something I'm really proud of. It's been something I've wanted to do for a long time. We'd talked about projects previously, but for me, it was about finding the right thing. 'Hostage was perfect — me and Matt together, backed up by this brilliant, supportive team. I loved it.' Delpy said of her President Toussaint: 'She's good at handling situations and power, but her weakness is her hidden side. She puts herself and her entire career in danger for something that could have been avoided.' Sofian Francis, who stars in three episodes of the miniseries as Burke, called the series 'one of my favourite filming experiences ever' and said that he can't wait to see the full hostage series in action. Actor Dominic Lawrence commented on Instagram: 'I am so so so excited for this,' while US-based fans of Jones wondered if the show was getting a worldwide release.

I Watched The Bear S4 To See How Many Times I Laughed - The Answer Will Surprise You
Last year, I made the mistake of starting season three of The Bear after returning home from Glastonbury. Why I felt compelled to do such a thing I can't be sure, but it quickly sent me into a state of discombobulation, which wasn't helped by the fact the first episode played as a long, sad, panic-ridden music video. The Bear is the type of TV show that makes you want to press pause and willingly unload the dishwasher. Watching it feels like the sky has never been blue. I'd go as far as to ascribe it an almost Dickensian quality of bleakness. Yet, in 2023, it picked up six Emmys in the comedy category, including best comedy series and outstanding writing for a comedy series. It beat Ted Lasso , The Marvelous Mrs Maisel , Jury Duty and Abbott Elementary amongst other shows. The FX series has won 21 Emmys and five Golden Globes as a comedy in total. Naturally, given the reasons just laid out, this is perplexing to a lot of people – including fans of the show. The Bear is an undeniably engaging drama, even if the dishwasher still beckons at certain points, but a comedy it is not. In fact, I'd argue it's become less and less funny as the seasons have gone on. To prove my point, I conducted a laugh count experiment while watching season four of The Bear , and the results may or may not shock you. What they won't do, regrettably, is make you laugh. Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Ayo Edebiri at the premiere of season 3 of FX's The Bear. (Photo: Getty) Episode one: Groundhogs Laugh count: 0 The title of this episode neatly sets up the narrative for the rest of the season – a rinse and repeat of season three storylines that will leave you with a heavy feeling in your chest. Despite successfully reopening as a fine dining restaurant, The Bear (the restaurant) received criticism for its inconsistent menu and chaotic atmosphere in a Chicago Tribute review and the team has two months to turn things around to make the business viable. There is a character called Uncle Computer, but that's about as close as we got to a crack of a smile. Episode two: Soubise Laugh count: 0 The sterile kitchen lights are on, but comedy isn't home. The second episode sees Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) and Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) begin to simplify the menu as she grapples with another job offer. All staff remain miserable and stressed. There is little relief except for Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) who quotes Polish mathematician Jacob Bronowski in his pep talk to the chefs: 'The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.' At the end of the episode, Carmy is on the phone to his sister Natalie, who has recently given birth, and she pleads with him to come and meet the baby. It doesn't take long before it's post-partum Natalie consoling Carmie because, after subjecting his family to years of stress and chaos to turn their sandwich shop into a Michelin-chasing restaurant, he's realising he's falling out of love with cooking. Episode three: Scallop Laugh count: 0 Each character's inner turmoil continues, albeit slowly, to thud along in the third episode. Ebraheim (Edwin Lee Gibson) discusses how to franchise The Bear's sandwich window, the only profitable part of the business, while Marcus (Lionel Boyce) asks Carmy for more help on the dessert station despite the no-hire policy. It climaxes with Carmy running to the house of his ex-girlfriend Claire (Molly Gordon) – who broke up with him after overhearing him call their relationship a 'waste of time' during the soft launch of his restaurant – to confront his past. They both cry on the doorstep outside her house on a dark, rainy Chicago evening. Pathetic fallacy. Episode four: Worms Laugh count: 0.5 (a titter) Unsurprisingly, given that it centres Sydney, episode four brings some much-need light to the series. The chef visits her cousin Chantel to get her hair done and is left along with her daughter TJ while Chantel runs errands. It's an endearing, smile-worthy interaction as Sydney slowly disarms TJ, cooks her the best pasta dish of her life and encourages her to attend a sleepover with her friends from her old school. Sydney also uses an extended sleepover metaphor to ask TJ whether she should stay put at The Bear or accept the other job offer. TJ says the house she's in now sounds 'stinky' and Sydney says, 'I'd say it's energetically musty'. This earned one titter. Episode five: Replicants Laugh count: 0 Episode five seens the return of Luca (Will Poulter) to assist Marcus on desserts, which brings a bit of excitement to the kitchen, including some flirting from Sydney and a few playful attempts at his English accent. Still no actual laughs though. If things weren't hellish enough at work with smaller budgets, fewer ingredients and an erratic, depressive boss, Sydney receives a call just before service to say her dad had a heart attack. That's The Bear for you. Episode six: Sophie Laugh count: 0 In this episode, Edebiri delivers a heartbreaking performance in the hospital waiting room as she confides in Claire, who helped her father recover, about the guilt she feels for making him worry about her. It's an agonising, relatable and a stark reminder of how fragile life can be and how we could all do more to appreciate our parents. Not exactly full of gags. Elsewhere in the episode, the staff debate whether to go to Richie's ex-wife Tiff's wedding. Episode seven: Bears Laugh count: 0 In between heavy conversations, emotional heart to hearts and explosive arguments, there is a cute moment when everyone gets under a table to convince Tiff and Richie's daughter to stop hiding. That's all there is to say on the comedy front. Episode eight: Green Laugh count: 0 Sydney decides to call Shapiro and reject the superior job offer and he tells her she's making the biggest mistake of her life. Otherwise it's more of the same, in other words, not particularly ha-ha. Episode nine: Tonnato Laugh count: 0 In the penultimate episode of the season, Carmy pays his estranged mother Donna (Jamie Lee Curtis) a visit to drop off a photo album and, one year sober, she breaks down in tears to say she feels responsible for her other son Mikey's suicide and that she's sorry for everything she's done. It's about as funny as you'd imagine, but both performances from Curtis and Allen White are gut wrenchingly good. Doughnut pioneer Marcus receives the news that he's been added to the class of Best New Chefs by Food & Wine . Validation at last. Episode ten: Goodbye Laugh count: 0 A slow, brutal finale that moves the story along for the first time in ten episodes. Sydney finds out Carmy changed the partnership agreement to remove his name, revealing his plans to leave the restaurant and, he claims, stop cooking altogether. In a post-shift argument out the back door of the restaurant, Sydney confronts him and they have an emotional, overdue conversation about their future, resulting in Sydney accepting that the kitchen will soon be hers to run alone. Richie then joins them and he and Carmy address the tension that's been bubbling between them since Mikey's death. Sydney asks for Richie to be made a partner and Carmy and Natalie accept. It becomes clear that season five will be preoccupied with Carmy's decision to leave the profession, but the fate of The Bear is still unclear. What is clear is that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Total laughs throughout entire season: 0.5 Is The Bear billed as a comedy because it's scared of the competition in the drama category? Who knows. But awards shows as well as their boards and voting members have a lot to answer for. If one titter in ten episodes is a comedy, then I'm the Queen of Sheba.
