    Aw shit man i saw that thread when it started but thought that it had only manifested into a misunderstanding.

    I see that the Norwegian girl fell foul of it too but she got another ticket!

    Join with the others and fight it and you may get your money back, as for the ticket i'm sorry...i really feel gutted for you. What a fucking bastard, i hope someone caves his head in. (sorry if that offends anyone, i'm not an aggressive person)

    Has anyone warned the Royal George and the one bar staff that is likely to be on duty at 3pm that they're going to be politely invaded?! They're used to the pre-gig crowds but...lol

    yes, they know. it seems we're not the first bunch of fans to gather there pre-astoria show :)

    9 days.. it doesn't seem real to me. my huge excitement has morphed into disbelief. i don't think it'll seem real until im in that place and they walk onstage.

    What would chavs / chavettes like? I think i'd die if i saw a shazzer rocking out.

    You sure are a very nice God!

    I myself doubt the need for chavs/chavettes in the first place, but I guess that without them the hoody-industry would fall apart and the world economy would collapse or something ;)

    When I saw them before it didn't really sink in till one of the roadies brought out a black schechter telecaster and sat it on the stage.... then I just crumpled...

    ‘i like sambuca too! very tasty!’

    Yeh, it’s so nice and warm. I love when there’s a night I just can’t get in to – one shot of sambuca and it wakes me right up.

    ’even better after its been set on fire’

    Oh no, I know a couple of horror stories about that… drunk people and flames often do not go well together :o

    ‘She might be ready to drop though!’

    So let her drop :)

    ‘i don't think it'll seem real until im in that place and they walk onstage.’

    Once I have the ticket… :)

    Hello everyone!

    This is my first time posting - pleased to meet you all! FINALLY managed to get a ticket - haven't missed a London show since 1992... can you imagine my happiness finally holding a ticket in my hand!

    I'll be coming along to the pub before hand... and up for something afterwards- I live and work in central London, so I have a good knowledge of bars and clubs etc (which may or may not be useful?)!

    Counting down the days ;)

    Lol, yeh it's strange for someone to ask about you before you even post :D but it was from that other site... they're wondering who the guy was who worked around the corner from the Astoria and it was either you or jman

    So have you actually GOT your ticket yet? :o

    Ah right, that makes sense!

    Yeah, I got my ticket on Saturday - and got verification that it is a real one (I figured there may be some fakes circulating because of the comedy price they're going for)!

    If any one wants a pic of what it looks like- just ask!

    God, has this thread got long! It would be fun to meet up with you guys pre-show but not too sure how my day will go. Will be meeting up with my other half just before the gig so I would need a glimpse of scots in kilts before that! Hopefully I'll be able to pop in the George - saw a few pictures on the blog so I might recognize one or two of you!

    Thanks :) Just wish my boss would go into that meeting now - cos one of the directors is here too and either of them could walk in to find me on the phone DEMANDING to know why my pearl jam tickets haven't been delivered yet - that may not go down to well, lol.

    Maybe get the number of somebody going. I'd have no problem giving out my number and will if anyone wants it but maybe someone doesn't mind who has an English phone... cos I'll have my Irish phone and it will charge me to answer so it could cost me a fortune, lol.

    Ok well maybe if a few people offer - I can give mine too - those of us giving our numbers can swap numbers between us so we'll meet and then maybe sort out groups of who gets whose number. Fuck, that sounds a bit organised though, doesn't it? :eek:

    Ok, PM me for my number... I can try to coordinate people to all meet, not get lost etc. Also, if people are arriving the night before etc I could arrange a bar or something...

    ... I guess I can act as the London point of contact!

    einatshaul has my number. i'd happily give it someone else just incase. i'm not into stalkers though, so if you have complusive dialling tendencies, i'd rather not give it to you :)
