    i think this is what i'm doing also Jim... i was up real close at The Astoria and it was mental... brilliant mental... i then just gave up about 3/4 of the way through.. stood at Stone's side and had a brilliant view, was never bumped, shoved or anything... and the view was brilliant.

    that was at the tiny place that is the Astoria though..

    Aftershow: somewhere central is essential to be able to catch nightbuses later on (my posse as well as Redrock's need the N22 from Piccadily for example)..
    the place mentionned for the pre-show that opens from 11..is that open on Mondays?

    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.

    The AKA bar is a load of shit anyway.. expensive drinks, expensive entry, full of kids in tracksuits, rubbish music and no air conditioning... typical central nightclub..

    Trainers and baseball caps aren't allowed, football shirts, gold chains, flourescent fabric and the rest are a predominant feature in that place.

    Yeah.....if you want to be down the front, getting squashed, kicked, bitten, punched, crushed, peed on or whatever else goes on down there, then fair enough, each to their own.

    It is possible to have a great view from further back, the sound is generally better and for me, it's a lot more of a pleasurable experience.

    I think you have to be pregnant.

    I wouldnt have minded seats, especially if they were in that section but I imagine all the allocations will have been made by now.

    Put the cushion up your top and you'll be good to go!

    Congratulations man - my wife gave birth 3 months ago to our son. She was 4 months pregnant at the time of the Barcelona gig last year so couldnt make it - u are braver than us!

    Thanks Man :) - Maybe a little brave but we had already bought tickets before we found out, and there's no way the wife wants to miss the gig! We went to see Chris Cornell last week as well, but we stood at the back and out of the mayhem!! - and it was fine, and will definately be doing the same for PJ :)

    I swapped my 10c standing for 10c seating, just emailed 10club and explained .. that I had just discovered I was pregnant and would be 6mths pregnant by the time the show was on so standing in the madness was a no no :D
    Can't wait to see how the little lunatic in here reacts when the show starts :D

    Congratulations too!! :) I guess you must be due around the same time as we are. I didn't realise there was 10c seating as well as standing (didn't know we were pregnant at the time we bought tickets). I may have to drop 10c a message and enquire! Thanks for the info!

Option one - arrive sunday afternoon head to the hotel bar meet some like minded souls, get very drunk , sing betterman to the wee small hours, sleep in till about lunch time , amble down to wembley whenever? drink more beer, watch the show from several rows back, drink more beer and have probably the time of our lifes! or Option two - arrive sunday afternoon head to hotel bar as above but set alarm for 7.am arrive at wembley hungover, spend longest day of our lives queing and then get squashed to fuck for 3hrs! What do you think?
