That all makes sense, i'm glad there'll be a second barrier in Nijmegen otherwise the surge forward will be huge. Personally, i like the T barrier though. Just like having something to hold onto in the crowd.

I should have stressed the word believe..I've no inside info, so I might be wrong..but I think it'd be dangerous if there wasn't. Even more so in Katowice with the Polish Linkin Park fans :eek:

True! I guess even if you are lining up from 'God know's what time', there won't be a lack of beer!

just pick up the tickets whenever, go to the pub, then turn up whenever and enjoy the show

little people can always be pushed out of the way if you need to get to the front:)

No, that's 1250 pairs. :rolleyes:

Four times the work of a normal gig. There are normally 300 10c pairs per show, which makes 600 people.

Oh come on, it was late and I wasn't thinking straight 'cos of the football...

but yeah, you wouldn't have thought I got a B at GCSE maths now would you? :eek: Terrible mistake

^That's about HALF the standing area. Think about it

I've just realised that my ticket is under my married name, but my photo ID is still in my maiden name - will this cause a problem do you think?
Also, does anyone know what time the 10c distribution box will stay open til as I'm not currently planning on getting into London til around 4pm.

yeah, that's going to be a problem.
email/call 10c to tell them about it and I'm sure they'll sort it out.
distribution should be open until the gig starts I'd think.

I'm pretty certain Conguita and Einat were the first in Barcelona.

yes... i think it might

i'd email 10club now and inform them of it and maybe bring a photocopy of the marriage certificate... overkill i know, but I'd rather be safe about it

I think I'm gonna bring a few sandwiches with me in the queue.

Definitely a good idea... I completely forgot about that for the Dublin queue last year... and had to nick other peoples food

Anyone know if there are shops in the area? There was nothing nearby in Dublin which was a problem.

Its a shitty area of town... no shops near where you line up. A few near the tube station. If you need booze then get it well before...

By the way - head towards the stadium from the tube... u cant miss it.,... its HUGE!!!!!! (Wembley Arena not so much )

I used to be able to see the arch from my old work, which was 6 miles away! Beautiful stadium.

There isn't much in the vicinity of the arena, so early birds (not unlike myself) are advised to bring something rather than look around.

I swapped my 10c standing for 10c seating, just emailed 10club and explained .. that I had just discovered I was pregnant and would be 6mths pregnant by the time the show was on so standing in the madness was a no no
Can't wait to see how the little lunatic in here reacts when the show starts

Hiya missus,
Nope I wasnt the last time I just pulled a serious whitey and spent all of the dublin gig in the first aid area at the back of the stage on a trolley with an oxegen mask on my face , hyperventilating and going into muscle spasm.
Was a bit horrific. Was gutted over missing practically the whole damn show.
Made up for it at Reading though when arrived into the gig during Placebo, waited for the break between Placebo and PJ and then trawled our way through all them punters to make our way to the front.
And we made it .. sure we were up beside some of you - have a pic of byrnzie up there actually.

Ah yes.... I remember that! Sorry for confusion.. age...

I wasnt' at reading :(

Congratulations!!!! :D:D Best gig for the sprog to be at! And you have the good 10C seats... you'll see perfectly!

The Sneaky One

I was just wondering that about the 10club seats.. where they would be n stuff, and would i still end up at the back because of 10club priority and such stuff.
