August 15, 200916 yr syrup&soda water..sounds weird :stunned: it is weird... but after you get used to drinking it it's not too bad :) And Jen, quite a lot of people, eh? I'm sure it will be awesome!!!!
August 15, 200916 yr I'm Coming!!!!! Yeahhhh!!!! I am in Orlando flying out direct to London on the 16th w. bta5857 and her daughter on British Airways. When are you leaving? I still have a bag of glowsticks for Tampa... do you think I can get these through in checked bag and then can I get them in at Wembley Stadium? I have 50 glowsticks! Anyone know if you can bring these into stadium?

Anyone know if you can bring these into stadium? Hey I left you a pm.. I am excited.... I think I am gonna leave the 50 glowsticks at home and wait for Tampa, I might try and take a couple to wave around...
August 16, 200916 yr syrup&soda water..sounds weird :stunned: also known as the stuff you get from those machines where you push a level and some pop comes out into a cup, I call it syrup & soda water because that is what is it :)

I still have a bag of glowsticks for Tampa... do you think I can get these through in checked bag and then can I get them in at Wembley Stadium? I have 50 glowsticks! Anyone know if you can bring these into stadium? I'm sure they will allow in glow-sticks, just hide them in your pockets. Or do as I did today with a bag on the back with a small bottle of water, they didn't check the bag just got me to pour the water into a plastic cup :) Oh and do you guys know if they do those cell phone wawes at concerts anymore? They're so cool the videos I've seen on youtube! :stunned: Depending on whatever network your on, but O2 has a perfect reception around Wembley, although you get the case of a slow network (SMSs take a while to get though). As for cameras, for the 2 U2 shows they didn't check. ------------ Some random comments about my trips this weekend, baring in mind this is for U2, Coldplay might be different. - Car Parking, for a venue which states on the tickets "use public transport, there is no car parking!" there was quite a lot of car parking, both official (next to the stadium) and unofficial (companies making a fast buck allowing concert goers to park on their property), prices ranging from £10 to £25 per car (so it ain't that cheap, plus you get the horrible fun of getting out of wembley post-show) -The roof, Friday's show the roof was closed, but the Saturday's show the roof was open allowing full viewage of the arch -General Admission Standing tickets go though gates F & C, and they get the people to line up on the ramps away from the main outside part of the stadium, and use barriers when the gates open, so no cheeky bastards can jump the queue. It's windy outside the stadium. -Some Food & Drink places do take credit/debit cards, however if they charge extra I do not know -Cash Points - There are a couple free-cash points around the stadium, no cash-points on level 5. -If you go walkies to the bar/toilet/food take your ticket, if you have no ticket to show the security when trying to get back into the main part of the stadium, they won't allow you to pass -For U2, level 1 seating were reserved (doubt this will be the case for coldplay) -Your own food appears to be allowed inside the stadium -Drinks, soft-drinks & water, they get you to pour it into plastic cups on entrance to the stadium, unless you can hide the bottles -Cameras, on both days nobody checked for cameras -I hate annoying girls whom chat throughout the support acts, shut up will ya, the latest gossip can wait until later. -I also hate the annoying people who drink the £4 lager like it is water, and hence push past you every 5 minutes to get to the bar -I also dislike the idiots who stop dead in the middle of the corridor for no reason whatsoever. -Plus it's windy inside the stadium. Any other questions?

Anyone know if you can bring these into stadium? should be fine. at Take That concerts there are guys wandering outside selling glowsticks, glowing rabbit ears, pink cowboy hats & who knows what else. -General Admission Standing tickets go though gates F & C, and they get the people to line up on the ramps away from the main outside part of the stadium, and use barriers when the gates open, so no cheeky bastards can jump the queue. It's windy outside the stadium. DId the tickets just say GA standing or were they GA standing/seating?
August 16, 200916 yr -Cameras, on both days nobody checked for cameras I still can't believe my luck if they really don't check for cameras ... Woohooo ... :)
August 16, 200916 yr Dave...you're the best!!!:thumbsup: Thanks for all the info....I'm all for being prepared and having a plan of attack:P so all the info is sooo helpful! Thank you!:kiss: SQUEE:dance: so excited...and someone mentioned glow sticks, it totally slipped my mind, but I have brought them to the last couple of CP shows I've been to...corny, but fun:wacky:
August 16, 200916 yr hey, i have two questions a) have the tickets been sent out for the saturday concert yet b) are they ones you print off yourself or actual card tickets?
August 16, 200916 yr Author hey, i have two questions a) have the tickets been sent out for the saturday concert yet b) are they ones you print off yourself or actual card tickets? don't think so, but must be imminent because the tickets for the 12/9 arrived in the post last week. the tickets for the 12th are very nice card tickets, not the usual plain ones, but with Coldplay images.
August 16, 200916 yr don't think so, but must be imminent because the tickets for the 12/9 arrived in the post last week. the tickets for the 12th are very nice card tickets, not the usual plain ones, but with Coldplay images. That's good - still annoyed that U2 didn't manage to get proper souvinor tickets designed for £62.00 per ticket. I actually queued on Friday from around 1 pm and was at the outer ring 5th row. Have to say the whole organisation in wembley was brilliant!!!! P.
August 16, 200916 yr Author did you get a good view from there? I know its a bit different coz they've got the 360 stage.
August 16, 200916 yr I was ok as I am quite tall anyway. but from the main stage we were quite a bit away. I actually enjoyed the show yesterday more and I was standing quite far back in front of the sound booth but I think the U2 show is actually better to watch it from further away otherwise you don't really see the whole stage and lighting. P.
August 16, 200916 yr ^which is why I must feel a bit sorry for the people who rushed to get to the inner circle, they must not have seen a lot with the height of the stage^ Map , might be useful for some people
August 16, 200916 yr should be fine. at Take That concerts there are guys wandering outside selling glowsticks, glowing rabbit ears, pink cowboy hats & who knows what else. DId the tickets just say GA standing or were they GA standing/seating? I don't know :P I only had seated tickets (friday level 5, saturday level 1), didn't see any of the standing tickets.
August 16, 200916 yr no no, I meant if they still do these waves: so cool! But thanks for that information too! :) Didn't see anything like that, the seating areas had Mexican waves though (pretty good to see all 3 levels linking together trying to keep the wave as one massive stadium looping wave)
August 16, 200916 yr hey, i have two questions a) have the tickets been sent out for the saturday concert yet b) are they ones you print off yourself or actual card tickets? I would imagine they would be actual tickets if coldplay are going to use the electronic automatic ticket reader machines :) Which are good, because e-tickets don't look the same
August 17, 200916 yr That'll be 111 then :D i'm not on the list... :( could you add me in pls? & thanks, Kite...for all the handy info! :D
