Early 10c Entry for MEN and o2

It is possible - was at the NIN gig at the MEN this week and there was early entry for presales. Could collect tickets at 4.30 and go straight into the arena to queue inside.

Seemed to run very smoothly with a table outside where people were collecting their tickets and getting a wristband for the floor, and there were a lot of people queueing. All the early entrants went in one door so you didn't have people from 6 different entrances all running for the barrier at the same time.

I know it's been asked before but:

Please please please sort something like this out for us too, we would appreciate it soooo much! Especially at the o2 where your tickets determine where you enter so we won't find out where to go until after the tickets are collected when non-10c ticket holders will already know where they have to queue.

Thank you for your consideration.

    At O2 yesterday for NIN it took some people over 1hr30 queueing to collect pre-sale tickets so everyone keep that in mind next month! Took me 40 minutes but I was lucky as I got put in a queue that was then split into two seperate queues thus halfing the waiting time.

    ... and NIN pre-salers had early entry and their own entrance (Entrance D was for all standing pre-salers) so it can be done at the O2.

    REALLY?! :shock: We just walked straight up and walked straight in... It would be nice for PJ but I can't see it happening...
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    my granny used to say "never judge a book by its cover"

    my other granny used to say "people who havent got a fucking clue what they are talking about should really shut the fuck up"
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Tis what we are used to ... in Europe most 'rock' shows have GA standing floors ... as Sir Dunkington said on the last couple of tours the 10c ticket holders were let into the venue before everyone else ... but not this tour :(

    Think if they made the whole Euro tour seated only venues there would be a fair amount of people who would think that 'sucked' too ;)
