Hey Al, I just remembered, you complained to be at the top of the Irish Gathering list, so in return I demand to be at the top of this list!
then that would put you above me... so no
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 remember in line in dublin what constituted a pisser for me was behind
the vans in parking lot....it wasn't noticeable anyway as it was pissing rain also at the time...no queues either
I remember that. I was bursting for a piss as i was having to down a shit load of beers at the front gate before going in. Why is there never a pisser available when you need one? :rolleyes:

yeah i got caught with 3 half bottles of wine on my person seen as my good wife would not help me try to smuggle them in.
I wasn't handing them over so the extra fluids caught me out in the line.
ah well...came back into line to photo evidence of my misdemeanor
How far is Stansted from Wembley? Is it walkable/ affordable by taxi/ impossibly far etc?

Guys .. seriously what do you think are the chances of me getting decent seated tickets for my 10c tickets. I mean, I dont want to end up sitting right at the back behind a big pillar or something. I'll feckin take me chances on the floor if i have to !!! (ok , maybe not)
But if you hear of anyone with good seated tickets to swap for my two will you let me know - was kinda lookin forward to the craic but c'est la vie -

The Stansted express to Liverpool Street takes about 30 minutes. A return ticket to come back the next day will cost you about £25. The train runs right from under Stansted airport. Then take the Metropolitan line train from Liverpool street to Wembley Park, which will take about 20 - 30 minutes. Simple.

I was going to stay in a Travel Inn or something, but now I'm just going for whatever is closest. In Dublin, I stayed in a hotel really close to The Point and that was great for walking to and from the show

150 quid for 2 people for 2 nights.....is that good?
I know that in the Victoria area where i work there are plenty of hotels which all charge about £50 a night for a room with a double bed. They charge for the room and not for the amount of people staying in it. You may wanna just do that instead. There's loads of hotels around Buckingham palace road, Eccleston square. Hugh street has about 4 hotels on it which charge £50 a night for a double bed room. It's also quite a nice area, and obviously it's right near to Victoria station which is a main hub, and tube connection point.

The Travel Inn in Wembley, which is 0.5 miles from the arena I believe, is fully booked. I wanted to stay there but didn't book my room right away and when I wanted to do it yesterday it said no rooms available... :(

well the stansted express to liverpool street: 45mins
liverpool street - baker st on tube 20mins
baker st - wembley : 30mins maybe?
you can get overland train from marylebone station - that takes just 9 mins but they only run every half hour...
Thank you soooo much. My only problem is getting back, I need to get to the airport by 3 AM after the gig to fly to Dusseldorf. Not that will take some investigating. *sigh* This is not going to be as easy as I hoped :(:D

The only thing with these hotels is that you probably couldn't book them online. You'll just need to turn up on the day and pay.
