    You referring to me old sir!!?! If so, you are indeed correct!
    Congrats on the baby front mate-top work!

    Pre gig beerage, if it's sunny I suggested shambles square atback of arena, next to printworks. Some decent little pubs, lots of space outdoors, within stumbling distance of the men... I'll be there from 12 onwards I suspect!

    Travelling from Norway to Manchester to watch them. Gonna be my first time seeing PJ live, and I can't wait :)

    Been to Manchester plenty of times before (watching football), so finding my way around shouldn't be a problem :D

    I should think people will probably meet in the same pub as we're meeting in on the Sunday... The Wetherspoons:

    The Moon Under Water, 68–74 Deansgate, Manchester.

    I'm sure someone will correct me if this isn't the case... ;)

    Of course ^^ Do you live in Manchester? How far away from Thistle Hotel in Portland Street is the MEN Arena? :)

    The pub I've been most to is Bishop's Blaize outside Old Trafford, don't know to much about all the rest :)

    Anybody been to a big concert at MEN Arena before? How many tickets are usually sold for a show like this?

    Wonder how much of a queue there will be with everybody picking up their tickets at the day of the concert.

    The max capacity is 22,000... I should think they'll fill it.

    I haven't been to a big gig at the MEN before but the queues for getting tickets at Wembley '07 were big... although they did move fast.

    I seem to remember getting to the 10c queue at Wembley '07 about 1pm and we were about 100 people back in the queue, which wasn't too bad.

    Two different entrances, and we still got a great view from where we were. All in all, we were about 10 or 12 rows back I think and it rocked.

    I've got a ticket for Manchester thank you very much. :D it's the London one I'm looking for.

    but surely there'll be someone looking for a Manc.
