ahhh at last someone who's on the same wavelength as i am!
i think this is what i'm doing also Jim... i was up real close at The Astoria and it was mental... brilliant mental... i then just gave up about 3/4 of the way through.. stood at Stone's side and had a brilliant view, was never bumped, shoved or anything... and the view was brilliant.
Yeah.....if you want to be down the front, getting squashed, kicked, bitten, punched, crushed, peed on or whatever else goes on down there, then fair enough, each to their own.
It is possible to have a great view from further back, the sound is generally better and for me, it's a lot more of a pleasurable experience.

I wouldnt have minded seats, especially if they were in that section but I imagine all the allocations will have been made by now.

Put the cushion up your top and you'll be good to go!

can i get a seat if i claim to have elephantitis of the genitals
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.
Congratulations man - my wife gave birth 3 months ago to our son. She was 4 months pregnant at the time of the Barcelona gig last year so couldnt make it - u are braver than us!
Thanks Man - Maybe a little brave but we had already bought tickets before we found out, and there's no way the wife wants to miss the gig! We went to see Chris Cornell last week as well, but we stood at the back and out of the mayhem!! - and it was fine, and will definately be doing the same for PJ
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
Congratulations too!! I guess you must be due around the same time as we are. I didn't realise there was 10c seating as well as standing (didn't know we were pregnant at the time we bought tickets). I may have to drop 10c a message and enquire! Thanks for the info!

Now i'm in a delima, I was kinda planing for an early start (around 9ish) with my brother goin to the main entrance and me to the ten club but reading these posts now i don't know! Option one - arrive sunday afternoon head to the hotel bar meet some like minded souls, get very drunk , sing betterman to the wee small hours, sleep in till about lunch time , amble down to wembley whenever? drink more beer, watch the show from several rows back, drink more beer and have probably the time of our lifes! or Option two - arrive sunday afternoon head to hotel bar as above but set alarm for 7.am arrive at wembley hungover, spend longest day of our lives queing and then get squashed to fuck for 3hrs! What do you think?

can't get enough of that wonderful Duff...
Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?
I'm gonna turn up any time between 12 and 1. I'm only queueing for the queueing experience with friends really. The queue matters for fuck all apart from the first 3 or so rows, maybe a bit more with all tickets going to 10c members. Unless you want to be at the very front you don't have to queue for long at all.
Since I'm going to 5 shows I want to try out being in different parts of the crowd for different experiences. Wembley is definitely gonna be one of the most competitive for the front row, so I'll steer well clear. Was front centre at the Dublin show, so I don't really care where I end up after that.

10C tix come in pairs... make sure you arrive with the person getting your other ticket, one queues in the general queue and the other in the 10C one! Go out all night, don't go to bed, make your way to Wembley when the clubs have shut (and the first tube starts), then get in the queue and sleep..... Sorted... now... back to the garden...
Uhm, that was my plan!
Didnt read the whole thread, but lists have been made in the past and that works.
Did you guys mention this yet? I liked that system, it works
I think, judging by the photos I've seen that standing is about 3000. Similar to the size of Dublin. Venues always look bigger on photos than when you get there in the flesh so maybe smaller.
I'm not sure of our queueing strategy now. Was going to pick up tickets at 12ish and then head off but it looks like there could be a sizable queue just to do that at 12 o'clock.
I'd really like to see the Star Wars exhibition that day too so maybe will go there first and then pick up the tickets later when all the early birds have gone and got theirs

This might be a stupid question but what do you guys do if you need to go to the loo as you invariably will need to do if you're drinking beers and queueing all day???

I made sure i went to the loo multiple times before getting into the venues last year, that way i didn't have to leave my spot.
It may be hard in Nijmegen with 3 opening acts AND Pearl Jam.

well as most 10clubbers are bringing someone to use the second ticket then surely the 2nd person will just keep their place in the queue whilst the other goes to the toilet.
i just dump on the pavement
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.
I'll be there fairly early for queing fun - that was my favourite bit of last years jaunt round Italy, sitting around, chatting, putting the world to rights, getting sunburnt and making paper hats
Will probably be on my own for the first few hours while the missus has a lie in and sleeps off the beer - one day I'll work out how she wrangles the good jobs
...London Doesn't Call Anymore... (rip joe)
Yes, I have been to some Pearl Jam concerts. Several of them.

i'll help you out buddy... they are called 'jugs'

get friendly with your neighbours ... everyone will get to know who's in front/behind as the day wears on, and everyone pretty much looks out for each other - just let people around you know if your disapearing somewhere for five/ten mins and you'll be fine
