    :D:D:D I think you can get access to pre-sale tickets if you join the fan club, not sure if it's too late to join. The show is not listed on the website yet, though.

    "The Highway Companions Club pre-sale for Amsterdam will start tomorrow Wednesday March 28 at 10AM local venue time and will end on Friday March 30 at 9AM local venue time. Unique pre-sale access codes for this show will be sent to Highway Companions Club members later on Tuesday. Pre-sale access codes will also be displayed on the Tour page when logged in as a HCC member: http://www.tompetty.com/tour?utm_source ... =Tour+page"

    Folks cheap train tickets to Manchester for 20/21 June are now available. The 22nd isnt available yet. I would usually advise buying two singles rather than waiting for a return.
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    The route from the train station in Manchester (Manchester Piccadilly) to Manchester Central Travelodge if people want to walk it (about 15 minutes) .

    If anyone needs to plan any other walking routes in Manchester (or London or elsewhere :P ) I use the website www.walkit.com

    Unfortunately there are no cheap Manchester/London train tickets if you want/need to travel during peak time (between 2.40pm - 6pm and 5am - 10am). I cannot afford take two half days of work to get the cheap train tickets so I am flying late Weds arvo and early Fri morning for £65 return so there is another option other than a £240 train ticket for those who have to travel during peak times.

    As a matter of personal opinion I think it is absolutely disgraceful that it could cost £240 return to get two hours away to Manchester - I can go to Paris return for £69 and could almost get to New York return on the plane for £240!!! :o

    Speaking of trains...can someone with Euro travel experience please let me know which is my best option. I'm flying into Amsterdam, then traveling to Bruges, Belgium, then on to Arras, then to Paris, and then Frankfurt. Am I better off getting a Eurail pass or booking each train individually? What's the most economical and what's the most convenient and hassle-free? Thanks :D

    Man-London train booked. :) Now Am'dam-Paris train to book(I'm having a few days in Paris between Am'dam & Berlin coz I've never been there!). Anyone got tips for that for me? I'm hoping to go on June 28, travelling during the day to see the countryside & getting into Paris early enough to have some food etc. I think Thalys high speed train might be my best bet? Anyone know? TIA. :)

    i am confused too, is there any train from brussels to prague? i cant seem to find one, and not on that euro travel rail site but some other site i saw amsterdam to prague trains but it too long a ride either way by train to prague, from either brussels or amsterdam?? at first i thought it was only maybe a 5 hour or so train ride either way? but is it more like 12-15 hours, if there even is a train from brussels to prague?
    what sucks is there is no cheap flights i can find from brussels to prague they all like 300 1 way if you want non stop . i saw one for like 150 i think but it had 2 stops from brussels to paris to berlin to prague, likewtf is that i dont want to be on the plane that long to other fuckin countries i dont need to go to. not sure why it was like that when i look it up on a few sites
