Hi,

 

New Member here.

 

What does everyones ticket say?

Mine has a seat number and says lower pavillion?

 

Cheers

welcome to coldplaying! ;) have you got a VIP ticket or something? I thought they were all GA :thinking:

Phew, plans have finally all fallen into place :P

 

I'll be arriving at Manchester Piccadilly (wherever that is!) on Friday around 3:30, and staying both nights at the Manchester Central Travelodge (ditto!!) to leave around Sunday lunchtime.

 

I look forward so much to meeting everyone for drinks on Friday, and will probably stay for most of the meal too :)

 

Thank you so much to Jen for all her kind help organising things, you are a star :dance:

 

you're welcome :D

 

there's free bus service for getting round the city centre if you wanted

 

more info here http://www.gmpte.com/buses/metroshuttle.cfm

 

 

 

that Travelodge is NW direction from Piccadilly

As far as I am aware the trams are still not running in the city centre so you will either have to travel by foot (~15 mins walk) or taxi :)

 

they're running fine on the Bury line. I think its just if you want to head south (towards LCCC - typical :rolleyes: ) because St Peters Square is still shut.

 

 

 

Yep :cool: Another one taken from inside the Brian Statham Way entrance (Jonny side, for those lovers), the gates were open so I just walked in :laugh3:

 

 

 

you just walked in? was this with official looking gear so you could pretend you were supposed to be there? :P

I thought they were too. I scoured all the sites to make sure there weren't seats.

Jen's Manchester Weather Report - Wed 09/09/09

 

This evening at 18:30, the canal said the temp was 17 celsius. the weather was blue sky with a hint of cloud & sunshine. felt a little chilly.

 

Currently, going dark, but clear skies.

 

Based on tonight's weather, I suggest having an extra layer to keep you warm til Coldplay come on.

I saw plently of trams running past Old Trafford today, unless they were ghost trains :inquisitive:

maybe I wasn't clear enough. you mentioned the city centre, and I was agreeing with that bit coz St Peter's Square is shut. you can travel from G-Mex to Altrincham and vice versa. but can't get on a tram at Piccadilly and go all the way through :P

maybe I wasn't clear enough.

you got that bit right :P:kiss:

Don't know, ebay. Entrance at Talbot Road?

is it a pretty looking ticket with the Viva in the red coldplay stripey things?

the only entrance on Talbot Road is for VIPs. I posted a link to the details from the LCCC website a page back. Its either fake or you have somewhere with a nice bar and people with posh ties! :P

i hope its the latter than :\

it says l-type with seat numbers, with red and viva yeah?

from a trusted seller

is there gunna be a front pit at the gig ? like a wristband type thing?

thanks again

there has been for Arctic Monkeys, Take That ect recently usually first come first serve.

Its good get down there early and get in, then go to bar/ food etc. Then get back in.

 

If you like a bit space stand to the back of the front circle and still get a good view.

 

 

 

Does anyone else have a ticket with GA2?

sounds cosher to me ;)

It says on the LCCC website that 3 roads will be closed after the event. I was planning on having someone pick me up by car after the concert, will they not be able to come near the LCCC?

 

Also is it standard that Johnny stands to Chris' right and Guy to Chris's left?

 

Thanks.

There will be people parked at the venue so there will be a way of getting to it, might just be via redirections. Although once everyone starts leaving it might be a nightmare :confused:

 

And yes about Guy and Jonny :)

It says on the site that parking is not available at the LCCC though.

 

I'm just worried about having to walk in this freezing weather. I seriously haven't been warm since arriving in the UK!

Can I just say....they going to be on home soil in all but 2 days....squeeze!!!!!

 

Finally.......

 

P.
