I will?! Who is gonna keep our place in the queue?!

pdalowsky · July 2009

Thanks Chime for the parking info.....thats stellar stuff. and quite reasonable too.

oh getting excited again.

This may be a dumb question, but this congestion charge they rob you for down there, will it apply in this area? I'm supposed to be a clever chap, but i've been down to london a few times and always get a penalty in the post.....

i mean making you pay on the way out of the city on a monday morning is plain wrong (after the aerosmith sunday gig)

Well, according to the AA route planner I did, you can avoid the congestion charge and it doesn't make the route that longer. That is of course if the AA is right

I think O'Neills was chosen as those with standing tickets will literally be queuing around it.

I prefer The Defector's Weld or even The Green for pre Shepherd's Bush drinkies

If it's a nice day people could just hit the offie and drink on the Green

see the Met office has today retracted it's "August will be a scorcher" statement and replaced it with "more of the same unsettled conditions like July"

What time will queueing begin? I've not been there before and I just wonder when 10C ix will be available to be picked up at the box office and when the queue for getting in will start up. Or do you pick up tickets and go in directly with them?

pdalowsky · July 2009

I think you can grab the tickets and return later, thats what tenclub have confirmed to someone on here

The queuing will start at the crack of dawn and build throughout the day, but from my experience most dont bother until middayish....and then it gets busy around 4-5pm.....

those early on are looking to bag the barrier, but its a long time to wait and then hang around in the venue without a drink or a toilet break....I dont know how they do it

People are allowed to leave the queue for food/drink/toilet break and come back. Queuers aren't total barbarians!!! Rules of common sense apply, unless they have really strict security (which is pretty rare). The 2 hours inside the venue without a toilet break aren't that bad. The adrenaline takes over.

I think the queue will be quite busy since it's an especially small gig + seats are unreserved (afaik) so a lot of sitting people will be queueing for good seats as well. If some ways the sitters have an easier time of queueing too, at least they can sit down and relax once they're inside

Yeah I know that but once inside and hugging the barrier you cannot leave your spot, so lets say your in for 6.30....you cannot get a drink or take a pee or anything until the lights come up. so if youve been on the beers beforehand, its impossible.

Anyway, your probably right on the queuing, I'll get myself settled early doors i think. Oh and I heard some horror stories before on PJ queuing ruiles, some people take this stuff real serious

Beers beforehand?! That'd be a rookie error.

haha I think it'll be okay. Out of the euro PJ gigs I've seen PJ fans are the most polite queuers. In some cases, the other half of 10c ticket pairs came late and no one complained at all at them pushing in. They were lovely queues

Can someone confirm that seating is unreserved? My friend's the one who got the tickets so I don't have the conf email to look at or anything. I just remember it said unreserved in the panic for getting tickets into the shopping basket

Don't want to queue all day if it's going to be in vain.

pdalowsky · July 2009

yes mate, unreserved, so first come first served

Pauk · July 2009

Grand. Queueing all day it is then!

Looks like the basic rule is: if you wanna be on the barrier, get here for 8am but any time before 4pm should get a reasonable place.

Personally, I'm in for the second option.

Pdalowsky said "you can get tickets and return to queue later" (sic). So the ticket queue and the entrance queue are different then? Any idea what time we can pick up tix?

I'm seating! No barrier for me :(

No idea how it'll be with everyone being unreserved. I guess on the whole, seating people won't queue nearly as early as standing people. The earliest I can get to the venue is 7.30ish, so hopefully that'll be fine for front row.

It'll be interesting to see how the empire copes with queues. Usually the BO queue only gets longer after business hours when the shops are all shut. There's not much room for a long all-day queue around the empire...
Plus if there are 2 separate queues, it seems like 75-85% of people will be picking up at the box office. The tickets in hand queue will be tiny in comparison

Glad I'm not the only one rushing big time to get there for about that time!

I think he means 7.30am, which is mighty early for a balcony spot, in my opinion.
