well the thing is, id have to buy them on ebay.

so im afraid the tickets would arrive in london, or where ever the seller is, theyd send them to me, and id miss them:(

auch.

can't the seller send it via urgent mail? it should take less than a week to arrive i guess.

(when i reveiced or sent something that way it took less than 2 days to arrive, it was just from an European country to another).

 

*fingers crossed for you, sends coldplay karma*

 

edit:

@ strawberryswinger:

really? :surprised:

i can't believe it. :nice:

and you are not coming to london, right? :\

Sounds pretty risky to me unless you buy them far enough in advance that they have guaranteed time to reach you before you leave AND THE SELLER ALREADY HAS THEM IN HAND.

 

Either that or get them sent to a friend who lives in the UK.

 

And, there is no such thing as a 'pit' in Britain - you want to buy GA (general admission tickets).

sure if you come here, we should celebrate it in the pre-concert meeting (17sept) if possible :dance:

 

i think that option of have them sent to a friend will be better may be.

 

 

no, since i'm 15 :dozey:

bad, if you were coming we 3 could celebrate it :dance:

 

but you'll see them a week before we do ;)

@bear: i think for you the most expensive thing about wembley is the flights and maybe the accommodation. but even if you lived in the uk i'd probably recommend to buy the tickets on location. there'll be a lot of people selling tickets. and at least in germany it's usually the case that tickets for big stadium gigs get cheaper the nearer the event comes. i suppose buying tickets at the stadium shouldn't be too risky. you won't have to pay a multiple of the actual price.

Wow Darcy !!! That'd be so nice of your mother and so cool for you to be here !!

Hope you'll be in THE place :P

Happy birthday to everyone having a birthday in September :cool:

 

Including Jonny :P

yeahh, thats true.

but i think if we do go, my moms gonna want to make sure we have the tickets on hand when we get to the venue. so we'd probably just send them to her friend.

thanks perrine:nice:

yeahh, it would be very very very cool of my mom. she actually really likes them too, and we'd be paying for my plane ticket and part of the hotel room out of my personal savings.

not long to go now! the premier inn is now sold out.

 

after show party in the bar?

Yes Darcy, I cross my fingers for you too !

And Wembley is my present for my exams yihaaaaaa :D

What is the ticket selling/scalping situation like at a concert at Wembley? I have two tickets for Sept. 19 but may be looking to trade or upgrade. Not sure if that is common or permissible there.

They cover the pitch...mainly because at the end of the day ..it's a football stadium and they can't have the pitch in a mess and runied after every gig there is. LOL

 

by the way, also around the pitch a sort of water fountains for drinking water...so no worry you won't need to buy water. Otherwise I saw at the TT gigs that people brought their own food (sandwiches, crisps etc.). If you buy in the stadium anything to eat prepare for paying a small fortune.

 

I might know more after next weekend....going to see both U2 shows and planning to kind of queue for one of them from around midday.

 

P.

 

IIRC from last year's Foo Fighters show it was £8 for a burger/chips & drink, the FA went over-budget when building the stadium, hence try and screw fans at every point to get the money back :lol:

 

Ummm speaking of getting wet...how nasty would the field(pitch)get???:thinking: I just went through All Points West...I'm ready for anything....but do I really need to pack my wellies?(rain boots)

 

The tuft will prob be covered in plastic sheeting, so it won't be that bad :)

What entrance be you at for friday?

ya know it was gross , disgusting and repulsive but the skyline of NYC was stunning and it was a beatiful night and what an amazing view of the 4 most handsome men in the world (next to hubby) and the music, what can i say, we were blessed beyond belief. Landfills and rain do not mix.

 

I bet the smell wasn't as bad as some of the toilets come sunday lunchtime at glasto :P

If they be GA tickets then you might get lucky and come across a tout, if they are seated tickets the touts might not want to touch them.

God knows, don't have my tickets yet...as usual ticketmaster is messing it up!

Will have to pick them up on Friday at the box office.

 

P.

At least fuckit master managed to work for me and deliver the tickets.

Did they delivery it via royal mail or via secure (or however this company is called)?

 

P.

Royal mail recorded delivery IIRC.

 

I think the secure mail company is called SMS (secure-mail-services)?

i have some random questions that have probably been asked before.

so im sorry, hahah.

 

whats the best/safest way to get to and from the venue?

are a lot of people staying to try and meet the band after?

how early is everyone going to try and line up?

 

thanks:nice:

Oh nice, then you will know about the organizations and you can report it to us then :P At least I have been concerned about everything, so I'm glad if we could hear something about the organizations beforehand :smiley: Have fun at the shows!

The organization is pretty simple, you get given an entrance letter (from A to P) which is where you have to enter the stadium, pass the security guys who scan your barcodes & rips the ticket stub off and pass the security checking bags and follow the route towards the pitch.

Ah, I was also wondering how the 'getting in' part would go through. at some point we should try to organize with the people that are going (and want to queue together) which entrance everyone has, so that they can meet up and stuff.

 

you think that's a good idea at all??

 

 

PS: sent the money today to pay for my ticket!! yeeeeeeey!!! :dance::dance:
