    I've just realised that my ticket is under my married name, but my photo ID is still in my maiden name - will this cause a problem do you think?
    Also, does anyone know what time the 10c distribution box will stay open til as I'm not currently planning on getting into London til around 4pm.
    yeah, that's going to be a problem.
    email/call 10c to tell them about it and I'm sure they'll sort it out.
    distribution should be open until the gig starts I'd think.

    I'm pretty certain Conguita and Einat were the first in Barcelona.

    yes... i think it might :o

    i'd email 10club now and inform them of it and maybe bring a photocopy of the marriage certificate... overkill i know, but I'd rather be safe about it
    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.

    Definitely a good idea... I completely forgot about that for the Dublin queue last year... and had to nick other peoples food :o

    Anyone know if there are shops in the area? There was nothing nearby in Dublin which was a problem.

    Its a shitty area of town... no shops near where you line up. A few near the tube station. If you need booze then get it well before...

    By the way - head towards the stadium from the tube... u cant miss it.,... its HUGE!!!!!! (Wembley Arena not so much )

    I used to be able to see the arch from my old work, which was 6 miles away! Beautiful stadium.

    There isn't much in the vicinity of the arena, so early birds (not unlike myself) are advised to bring something rather than look around.

    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

    Hiya missus,
    Nope I wasnt the last time :D I just pulled a serious whitey and spent all of the dublin gig in the first aid area at the back of the stage on a trolley with an oxegen mask on my face , hyperventilating and going into muscle spasm.
    Was a bit horrific. Was gutted over missing practically the whole damn show.
    Made up for it at Reading though ;) when arrived into the gig during Placebo, waited for the break between Placebo and PJ and then trawled our way through all them punters to make our way to the front.
    And we made it .. sure we were up beside some of you - have a pic of byrnzie up there actually.

    I was just wondering that about the 10club seats.. where they would be n stuff, and would i still end up at the back because of 10club priority and such stuff.
