10/12/14 Manchester Albert Hall

[Abstract Unknown Girl]

Well our tickets never showed up, so rang See today and have arranged box office collection and received an e-mail confirming it. Only issue is it says you can pick them up from 7pm onwards, which is when doors open. Surely they'll open the box office earlier? I've asked on the venue's Twitter but they've ignored me, so might have to ring and check tomorrow.

i would think they would just because it would be quicker to get people in on time

the box office is inside the main door so unlikely they'll open early. however if you're keen to queue up to get in early you'll be able to get the tickets and go straight in from what i remember. no rejoining queues or owt.

Thanks for that, I e-mailed them and they confirmed the box office doesn't open until the doors do. I guess it shouldn't slow things down too much in the grand scheme of things.

If last night is anything to by, there was only a small queue by 7pm and we got inside in seconds, so hopefully it won't take long. I have gathered from my girlfriend that the Albert Hall staff are a bit useless.

And the heart in my mouth moment today was making sure I'd booked my room at The Merchant's Hotel. I got confused about the "10pm" deadline and feared I'd have to skip the second set! But no, that's just the booking in deadline. I can drop my luggage off, get the key and "No restrictions" on turning up late.
So that means I can enjoy the gig without thinking "Shit, I've got to go!".

I'll be there tomorrow, I'm on my own but it will be so worth it. Also going to brave the Christmas shopping on Thursday!!! eeek

Did anyone meet them after the Glasgow gig? I know they often meet fans afterwards, not sure if they will on this tour though.

Seriously, if you have accessibility needs, I wouldn't even bother asking the Albert Hall, unless they happen to be needs that fit into their narrow idea of what disability is and how to deal with it. Otherwise, expect them to repeat their unhelpful policy at you until you give up.

YES YES I'M A BIT ANNOYED WITH THEM BUT WHATEVER, BIBLE LIVE TODAY!!!

I have an excellent track record for getting lathered

Made it to the hotel anyway, not queueing as it's hail stoning and fookin freezing...

I'm coming to the gig here on the eleventh, haven't been able to find out if they have a cloakroom at the venue...if anyone can confirm if there is or not for me that would be awesome!
*muchly excited but do not want to freeze unnecessarily*

Pretty sure there's a cloakroom in the bar area downstairs. Trying to recall from last time I went...

[reginaldgaye]

Starting to get excited now. Finish work in 50 minutes. Debating whether I should go home for a couple of hours or just get hammered for 3 1/2 hours.

[astrogirl]

The website confirms there is a cloakroom. I'm banking on it, as just heading over from Newcastle now with a mahoosive rucksack! Pray for a smooth running non-delayed TPE journey for me, please!

[amaitheanhorn]

Can anyone tell me what time the doors open and when the band is due to start please?

[Takk]

Doors I think are 7? but band are definitely onstage sharp at 8.45pm.
