March 7, 200620 yr I would fly with ryanair, one of those really cheap airlines... :) what about youth hostels in london? are they expensive?
March 7, 200620 yr Oh yeah! You can get such good deals with those cheap airlines, good idea! Nah I wouldn't think so, probably really cheap! Then I think the train from London Marylebone to Portsmouth costs 17.50 each way (if i've calculated it right!). Then you have to pay for the boat that takes you across to the Island...and I think thats fairly cheap.
March 7, 200620 yr yep, right... :) I dunno, we'll see. the next problem is that I think someone has to come with me, because I don't think my parents would allow me to stay at a youth hostel or something in london on my own... they would get mad, I guess. I don't knoooww...

I don't knoooww... Sarah I'm having the same problems...I found cheap flights to London and back but I don't know how to arrange the rest :\
March 7, 200620 yr Yep, plus I've never been to London or UK before...I'm hoping one of my friends wants to come too :) *crosses fingers*
March 7, 200620 yr oooooooooooooh this is all SO exciting! I cannot wait now! Sarah and Denise, it would be so worth the trip if you came!!! from London Gatwick airport(very near me) it is pretty cheap to get to Portsmouth Harbour...I get the train that goes on to there everyday and it comes from London Victoria. Or from Heathrow down to Southampton.
March 7, 200620 yr sounds good... but I looked for youth hostels and that's kinda expensive for two or three nights... plus, I have no idea how to find it when I'm in london. lol
March 7, 200620 yr Me too kara!!!! *squeel* :juggle: :D :juggle: :D :juggle: 96 DAYS AND COUNTING!!!!!!!!! :freak:
March 7, 200620 yr Sarah, if you gave the name/address of the hostel to any black cabbie driver they would find it for you im sure! :)
March 7, 200620 yr Sarah....it is really easy to get to Southampton and Portsmouth by train from London...no changing trains or anything...it only takes an hour at the most! I can see your situation though, from a different country and not being with anyone. :) hope that you find a way to come!! 96!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wahh!
March 7, 200620 yr I also hope so, but at the moment I don't think so, to be honest... :( would be far too great...
March 7, 200620 yr What do you think is the better solution? Using a train to Southampton or to Portsmouth? Which one is cheaper and shorter?
March 7, 200620 yr That is so awsome! I'm going to be in Portsmouth then so I'm really, really hoping I can get tickets, especially as it will be their only appearence this summer.
March 7, 200620 yr awwwwwwwww I just saw a news report about it on South Today, had a long vid of the boys' fix you gig part vid in the background...I might tape it tonight. ooooooh!
March 7, 200620 yr What do you think is the better solution? Using a train to Southampton or to Portsmouth? Which one is cheaper and shorter? Both Southampton and Portsmouth are easy to get to and the ferries usually take between 15 - 20 minutes depending on where you go from. Once you get to the Island there are buses which go to Newport although I am not sure what the arrangements will be to get to the festival from either Cowes or Ryde (if you catch the HI-speed services). Hope that this helps.
March 7, 200620 yr Yeah that helps thank you! Do you also know the exactly prices of a two way train ticket from London to Southampton or Portsmouth? Is it about 20£ (~33€) or is this the price of a one way ticket?! Questions over questions I know... :D
March 7, 200620 yr OMG!! that's so cool!! Foo fighters and coldplay!! g'luck to all over there at the fest!!

Questions over questions I know... :D I am not entirely sure as I do not travel to or from London to either Southampton or Portsmouth anymore. I will try and find out for you if you want.

Then for Southampton it will be about £30.90. These prices are is you purchase them in advance. Hope that this info helps people!!
