Hey, I have a question about the travel package to London. If I'm understanding it properly, then it would be about $2,600 USD for my wife and I to get tickets to the show and stay in a hotel for two nights?

There are some nice features like the parties and such, but doesn't this seem to be a really bad deal? If it included airfare, then it would be amazing.

However, maybe I'm missing something? I'd love to go out there (I'm currently in Houston, TX), but the price is really high.

Thanks!

I'll be there Last time I went to London was on a school trip

Gen and I will most certainly be there.

This is surely going to be a great show.....could it rival New York 2003....let's make it so

nope, you're right, it's a very bad deal.
You can tell the price of the hotel from the difference between the single/double packages: $330 a night for the room (which is a relatively cheap hotel in London!...just looked at their own website, so not the cheapest deal by far, and you can get a double room yourself for just over $400...much cheaper I'm sure if you go through a broker site).

so if you add up everything, you'd get it much cheaper yourself...unless you want to be nannied around, that's not worth it imho.

Okay, I thought maybe I was missing something.

I looked at how much reservations are for that hotel on those dates, and it's something like $1,000 for 3 night (not just 2).

And tickets will probably go for about $200 a piece?

So that would be $1,400 for two people to stay in London and get into the show. That's a far cry from $2,600. I'm just not sure what all the extra money is for?

Bummer, I was excited when I first read about it.

tickets are already on sale and it's $181 for the pair (that's expensive enough!)

A Badge Would Be Neat

I checked that and they are "Out of Stock" on the main site.

I put in a call to the Travel Line to get more answers about the package they are offering; I have not heard back yet though.

Just wanted to say hi to all here after the mare that was last night. Not posted here before but this forum kept me going amidst Refresh City.

So - hello to you all - I'm Simon, a PJ vet and dying for June - should be very special - just hope they do a bit more than this one off, for everyone around the country. (Feel a little lucky here - I can get the bus home outside Wembley Arena !)

Be really good to be part of what's going on here - there's a deeply significant 'brotherhood' between PJ fans and I would be really blessed to get to find out if there are one of two of you around whose real lifes aren't that far - geographically at least - from mine. Be good to wag chins on the bus home at least !

Definitely up for a booze-up the night before!

The missus will be accompanying me again, and we're looking forward to seeing familiar faces from Italy last year

General sale willing, I should be there. Hopefully they'll also add Hyde Park as has been rumoured in some parts...

I won't be going - its on a goddamn school day and I really could not see the head giving me a day off teaching to go to london to see a gig!

Just praying there will be more UK gigs this year (and not on my wedding date - or I will jilt my h2b at the alter!!!)

But then I did see them 3x last year so I'm not going to complain too much!

Only seated, so it seems 10c was not lying and all the standing tickets were gone.
