RedGirl76 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 We're wearing Yellow hats?! :stunned: Edit: Wow the parking space is pitiful :o May have to rethink the plan to drive to the venue. That's not good. I planned to drive 'cos I didn't fancy getting on a train back to Liverpool at midnight... it's usually pretty rowdy from 8 or 9pm onwards. Although there's always a "friendly" sort trying to offer you a swig from their vodka bottle :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Yeah, I'd say the train was a definite no go! Will be cutting it fine to get the last train, also I got the train back from a Snow Patrol gig at the Apollo one time (which obviously holds a fraction of the amount of people) and it was packed to busting point. I'm okay cos I'll be in Manchester anyway, so can just get the tram if needs be. Maybe you should get there as early as you can on the Saturday to make sure you get a space.

Although there's always a "friendly" sort trying to offer you a swig from their vodka bottle :rolleyes: noooooooooo not yellow hats really! I darw the line at yellow t-shirts :laugh3: LCCC parking looks nasty & is likely to change before september :\ I'm not sure where else you could park nearby, and for free :( the streets are probably out because most of them have matchday parking restrictions which I would guess will also involve concerts. There's a multi-storey car park in Sale which is around £4 for 24 hours parking, and has 24 hours access, but you'd need a tram ticket on top of that which is about £3.60 for a day ticket. I'd guess the random parking for sports events may be available, but they can be dodgy. We're ok because Ian & I both work within walking distance so could park at one of our workplaces.

RedGirl76 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Hadn't even thought about how packed the train would be - d'uh! Guess I'll have to get myself organised and get there in the morning... hopefully there'll lots of Coldplayers around to pass the time with!

iPsy Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I'm probabbly getting the train... In the morning, to get there early, I would like to meet up with some of you guys if possible :), I still havn't found anyone to go with, and if I do, they still have to get a ticket, I am thinking of saving up for another ticket and find someone to give it to and they can pay me back when they can....BUT THEY MIGHT SELL OUT! I don't know.... :P :P, this is turning out not as I expected :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayzo Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Yeh. No way is that gonna happen. They have to wait for it to get mostly dark. It'll just be past summer, they will probably come on at 8pm. 5pm First warm up act 6:30 Jay-z 8pm Coldplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedGirl76 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 The doors will open at 4pm to allow for the thousands to get in. I reckon there might even be another act before Jay-Z. Plus they've talked about changing the set and possibly making it longer. It won't finish before 10pm at the earliest. I reckon it'll probably finish around 10.30 - 10.45.

Jayzo Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Correct. Just enough for people to manage like not going to the toilet if they are standing. Just enough to to be bareable being in a stadium for that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 If you don't count the hours of queuing beforehand and the two subsequent gigs to follow, one after another :sick: I mean....YAY can't wait :laugh4: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimixxx Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 So you'd pay over AU$2000 for your airfare, sit for 20+ hours on a plane for me to give you 50 of my British pounds?! :surprised: DEAL! :laugh4: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimixxx Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I'd say we definitely, definitely, definitely will not have to do that for Manchester. A few hours before the gig will be enough to get us pretty close, if not to, the front :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
