September 5, 200916 yr Yeah but I was just worryign about that you know if you have liquids you have to put them into that "minigrip" bag thing in the security check, so if the sticks don't fit into the bag :uhoh: oh well I probably won't find them from here anyways.. :( There are ways past security, wrap the flag around your body under your tee-shirt ;)
September 5, 200916 yr "Tickets have been despatched from our offices to MR D SHEPPARD on 04/09/2009 sent Special Delivery to:" Sounds like I will have a knock on the door tomorrow from the postie going "Hello. Special Delivery." Yay! Around 10:45 this morning there was a knock on the door from the postie and in the pile of post was my tickets, although I still have a spare :( (row 5 of block 550 of level 5 if anybody is looking for any spares [which i doubt it :(]) I really don't think you have to worry about glowsticks in luggage, especially if you leave in the package you bought them, so it can easily be identified as what it is. But, of course, feel free to call airlines to double check. I have a question, though, about bringing flags, banners,signs. Are those things allowed in Wembley? Anyone who went to the recent U2 show have any info? CoughDAVEcough... Technically speaking no, but there were some banners for U2 I think with people sneaking them in though various means. I'm entrance K
September 5, 200916 yr Well I figured that anything would have to be snuck in, not be obvious; I was just wondering how strictly you're searched. Not that I'm really planning to bring anything...I need to find a proper jacket, before I go have a banner or flag made/ordered :p
September 6, 200916 yr For me with U2: Friday - my glastonbury bag was searched and the water got put into a couple cups# Saturday - my bad wasn't searched, and my water got put into a cup (with another bottle of water hiding in a pocket of my jacket which was in the bag) :) I might bring up some pick and mix to give to people in the queues
September 6, 200916 yr Could someone please explain the "seating" plan I know everyones standing but whats the reserved seating about and is there a GA floor section where you get wristbands and could potentially be front row. Thats how it was in Toronto, the GA floor section were the people standing in front the stage. It seems to me from the seating chart for wembley the entire floor is labeled GA floor. Does this mean anyone at all with a floor ticket could be front row?

September 6, 200916 yr I'm still unclear about the flag rule... Are we allowed to bring in flags or not? It's odd because the Wembley guidelines on prohibited items don't state anything about banners or flags BUT they do say we are not to bring in flag poles more than 1 m in length :thinking:

It's odd because the Wembley guidelines on prohibited items don't state anything about banners or flags BUT they do say we are not to bring in flag poles more than 1 m in length :thinking: yeh thats what I was thinking. Also I just saw that the wembley stadium roof doesn't close completely so if you're standing on the pitch we will get wet if it rains. I falmost think that will be a good thing but I hope its warm and eet not cold.... because I'm just gonna wear a t shirt and a really light zipped hoodie. 12 days till 18th! 13 days till 19th!

Does this mean anyone at all with a floor ticket could be front row? Yes, your last sentence is true. However, you will have to queue really early to have a chance of getting front row. I went to Muse and they had a 'Golden Circle' area at the front, where people were given a second wristband (in addition to the standing one) so you could come and go in that front area. Then there was a second barrier and the rest of the pitch GA standing area was where everyone else stood behind.
September 6, 200916 yr Anybody know the wembley area well? Im up for meeting in a pub afterwards, although im gonna be out the stadium alot quicker as im gonna be seated Can you reccomend a pub thats easy to get to? I stopped at one after the U2 concert which wasnt far from a pizza hut and kfc i think? all i remember is walking over that funny looking bridge thing (not up the wembley way, at the back of the stadium so to speak) and then up past a garage towards wembley central i think it was!

Then there was a second barrier and the rest of the pitch GA standing area was where everyone else stood behind. I'm going to get there at about 1.45. Do you think theres a chance that if there is a "golden Circle" like the one you said above I'd be in it?
September 6, 200916 yr when we went to the oasis gig, we got in the Q when the doors opened and still managed to get in the golden circle...but i think im gunna get there extra early to soak up it all up and make sure i get into the golden circle!

Not that I'm really planning to bring anything...I need to find a proper jacket, before I go have a banner or flag made/ordered :p think it depends on the security person standing behind your turnstile. when we went for the football, most security were doing bag checks and a quick pat down. I only got my bag extremely briefly checked, and no pat down. but then I did go through one of the ladies only turnstiles & get a bloke at the end of it!!!
