Been away on holiday and only just got the presale email! I've actually missed out on tickets before for the same reason...but not this time

I'm particularly happy because I'm pregnant and, although that means I will be ENORMOUS by the time of the concert, this means I get to see my favourite band before my life is taken over by babies. Also, I've always wanted to go and see them with my husband and never had the chance, so I'm really excited that we're going together this time. It's so cool to think that the baby will be able to hear the music and it will be their first ever concert

Wow ... your baby is lucky ... hearing good music before being born.
Maybe you should ask them to play "Around the bend"

They certainly are - I would have been ecstatic to know I'd been to Pink Floyd or something cool like that when my Mum was having me. I have to say though, so far the baby hasn't reacted to Pearl Jam but seems to be quite keen on the new Franz Ferdinand single when it comes on the radio! This kid's either going to be a serious rocker or end up listening to Britney Spears just to rebel

For the love of God put down the Franz Ferdinand single! lol

I hate them.

Pfft... well OBVIOUSLY :roll:

I spoke to a friend of mine at the weekend who's a bit of an O2 vet... she saw 'Tallica there twice this year... I asked about queues to get in... put it this way, they got through the doors 10 mins after 'Tallica started and ended up 5 rows from the front...

I probably won't queue very much 8-)

Was at 'Tallica ... in seats (awesome seats at that 8-) ) ... because of the whole HUGE centre stage ... number of standing was a less than a normal O2 show as the stage took up a lot of the floor ... and the amount of people who could be in each row was probably 3-4 times that for the normal stage set-up :oops:

Think 'Taliica fans and PJ fans are a slightly different breed though as I've never known any fans queue quite like PJ fans :shock:

Hello! Is there still an availability of standing tickets for London O2?

9 of us are are planning to come from India to London just for this gig. 4 of us managed to get standing tickets (2 Ten Club pairs), 2 got seated tickets, and 3 have had no luck at all.

I need:
5 standing tickets for the O2 gig

Can give away:
2 seated tickets for the O2 gig

You have no clue what this would mean to us as we've all been waiting to watch Pearl Jam for over a decade, and mostly know each other through our mutual love for Pearl Jam! : )

Sorry, I swore I'd never talk to anyone who went to that gig :evil: (Except maybe Fleur since she sold me her spare Neil Young ticket.)

Yeah I swore I'd never talk to anyone who WASN'T at that gig (gonna be a lonely day for Al )

Unbelievable gig though 8-) I won't go into how I got tix...it might just make you even more angry :P

That is 4 rows from the back of the 02
very steep, and sound a bit echoey

NICE ONE!

I'm down on the floor row D for Michael Jackson! What a view!

Then standing later in the month for Pearl Jam..... bring on August.

Dingy bottom of the line hostel? Slightly better ones where the bed springs don't poke at your skin? Soulless YHA/HI places that go for a little more? Budget hotel? What kind of cheap are you after? London accommodation is always a rip-off.

max.amc77

Hi Hinn,
We're looking for any solutions, if you could give us some exemples of hotels not too far or between St Pancras Station and O2 Arena, it would be kind .
An other idea could be to be hosted by a Pearl Jam fan with our contribution to charges .
We have time to the august 17th, so any proposition would be great.
For sure, we're not familiar with the London living :roll: ...
Best Regards.
Max

As far as I'm concerned, hotels are pointless cos you'll mostly be spending your time away from there, and you're really just going to sleep there and that's it. It's London, enjoy the lights and the noise. Around Kings Cross/St Pancras you'll just find live music in a whole bunch of places every night.

Pretty sure any extra space at my place would've been taken by others around that time.

I stayed at the YHA St Pancras once, it was good for a central location, I guess. I'm definitely a dorm person, but I presume you'll want a private room or something. Pretty easy to look this place up online.

Hi Hinn,
Thank for your kind answer, we are just looking for the minima :
Sleeping, take a shower, etc ...
We'll spend our time to visit London, perhaps buy somethings, etc ...
Someone gave me two adresses of small hotels, i'll see on the net what about these ...
Hope to meet you and have a drink .
Cheers

No one can miss me at a show. I'm the Asian guy with an Aussie flag-cape and a mullet wig. There's never anyone else who goes by that description

London hotels are quite possibly the worst in the western world for a capital city... I've worked in some and stayed in plenty and GENERALLY they're TINY and something wrong with them (and I'm not fussy at ALL... generally just want somewhere to keep my stuff and get some sleep and shower). I haven't tried London hostels but I reckon you'd have the same chance of finding a decent place for a fraction of the place.

Although the ramada in east acton surprised me loads (the room that is... everything else was shit but the room was fantastic and it was cheap)

There's one good thing about staying in London hotels- you come out of the experience knowing you'll never get ripped off so badly ever again.
