Presumably that changes on Friday.... The presale will only have certain limited tickets on sale.

Also there are two presales aren't there? The o2 one and the Manics one? I'm sure there's plenty more to go around.

Ok, wasn't sure if they were separate allocations or effectively the same thing.

Ticketmaster are a faff, but I went with them because of delivery issues that always seem to arise with me and seetickets.

I'm going, thanks to one kind soul who bought a ticket for my skint arse! Seen them several times this year but still giddily excited for this. Should be pretty special.

Oh God, please no! That song is perfect the way it is. Nicky singing that would be a travesty!

Hellay ev'ryone.
Since I'm going to come from Italy, I have some question for you:
1. Since I'm coming with my girlfriend, who is not a fan, when do we have to depart from the city center (by tube, jubilee line) to the O2? Are there long queues for the standing area? I'm not interested in being in the front row, but I absolutely don't want to miss the beginning of the show. And my girlfriend probably doesn't want to queue since lunchtime, she hasn't never been in London and she want to be a tourist as much as she can.
2. How does the booking work? I'm going to book on the 2nd of September, but where (and when) can I take the actual tickets? Is there a different queue?
3. What's the weather like in that time of the year?

Thanks in advance!

Ticket booked today

There were no standing ones left at half 10 when I tried, but I didn't want to take any chances on getting one on Friday so booked a seated one. Seated is beter than not getting but I might just have a go for a standing one on Friday!

Now to sort out getting from the Orkney Isles (in the north of Scotland) to London!

Most excellent!

Just booked my standing ticket thanks to O2 Priority (despite O2 having the crappest 3G coverage where I live I'm sticking with them for this service alone)

Agreed, TBTGOG is going to be worth the entry fee alone, it was absolutely HUGE live on the last hits tour. Looking forward to hearing one or two I've not encountered before. Be nice if Everlasting was full band too.

Incidentally, the only time I ever saw them do a full band Everlasting was the last time I saw them play Grace Of God. Love both tracks, looking forward to hearing them again.
