Does anybody know a pub as close as possible to wembley park station so i can watch the football before the concert? I hope to watch the game the head to the stadium to get the start of Jay Z!

Wembley gig - How early should people get to the concert on Sat?

 

Hey everyone...I heard people queued up for the Old Trafford gig at 9AM even though doors opened at 4pm. I already have my ticket in hand which shows exactly where I'm sitting...is there another reason I should be getting to the concert as early as 9AM?...sorry ;( I'm such an amateur on the usual protocol on these type of huge gigs. Is there a benefit to going super early that I'm foolishly completely blind to at moment?...sorry if this is sort of an obvious question ;(

 

Any advice as soon as possible - would be greatly appreciated!:D

Hello everyone!!!

 

 

Its Craig, and I have news which should comfort and calm everybody who is panicking like hell, about the ticket situation!

 

 

Following my chat with the afforementioned "Mr Martin Smithson" yesterday, I posted the information I was told immediately. This has seemingly changed since yesterday, which I am both tottally peed off about, and also heavenly relieved.

 

The guy i spoke to yesterday was not available, and i was passed around from 3 different lackies, until i got a very nice lady, by the name of Leanne. Now I explained to her that i was calling on behalf of many people attending the shows, and some of whome are coming from abroad to collect their tickets from the box office.

 

When I told her about Mr Smithsons comments from yesterday, and explained my concerns, she said to me, "You're Joking Right??!!!" To which I replied NO, and stated how worried i was, anyway she said that he has given me improper information, and that at a full staff meeting this morning, everyone was informed of the exact precedures that will be followe for the coldplay shows.

 

So here it goes:

There are only two ramps to queue at for anyone with GA tickets. Thes are the North-East and North-West ramps.

 

She told me that they have been made aware of concerns from fans collecting from the box office, and said that they "NOW WILL DEFINATELY ALLOW ANYONE WHO IS IN POSSESION OF A GENERAL ADMISSION TICKET, TO ENTER AT ANY OF THE GATES FOR THE SHOW."

 

Now she went on to say that all of the tickets printed for GA goers, were split into Gates Allocated, so there should be roughly the same amount of people in the two queues/ramps. This is becuase 50% of the GA people will be at H & J, which is to queue at the North-West ramp, and 25% have got B & C, and M & N each, therefore 25% x2 =50%, and these will queue at the North-East ramp, thus a fair split.

 

When you get your tickets from the box office, go back and join youre freinds/ fellow coldplayers, in the queue, and there will be no problem at all!

Also, the tickets are read from a barcode scanner at each turnstile, therfore Mr Smithsons comment of people being turned away is nonsense because its done by machine, and they are now programmed to let everyone who is GA, through any gate! (but this is a new developement from a staff briefing this morning, so it might not be Smithies fault, but maybe im being kind?).

 

So to some up, Anyone with H&J tix, are meant to queue at North-West ramp, and anyone with B&C or M&N are meant to queue at the North-East ramp. But it doesnt really matter. because you WILL be let in at either!!

 

Also an added bit, is that the Box Office opening time now is confirmed as, 11:00am.

 

Ok, so thats it I think, i spent a lot of time (and money, im dreading my phone bill :( ) finding this out today, but im certain it is worth it, and i hope that everyone is a lot better about stuff now, and can start looking forward to it again.

 

Over and out :D

im sitting BUT on behave of everyone well done for your hard work :D

Thank you SO much for these awesome news ! Was the woman absolutely sure of that ?

 

I don't understand why they'll split a queue and not the other one though :shrug:

Nope, you can go there at 4PM, only standing people queue that long so they can get to the very front, but your ticket is seated and no ones gonna take your seat.:)

if anyone took my seat, i might get violent

When Millwall fans get violent, they remove seats completely!!:lol:

phuuu...

 

finally it's alright with my tickets. So everyone who ordered by ticketline should be able to let them deposite the tickets at the hotel.

So if you don't want to have the stress with the box office just write to ticketline and tell them where to deposite your tickets.

They also do it with standing tickets.

 

The only thing for me is now to look to which gate I have to go, but that will be on my ticket and not a very big problem. :nice:

I'm so excited about the upcoming show!!! :dance: Can't wait to meet you all. Or at least some! ;)

See you in the big yellow crowd on saturday!

 

Now I've got to learn for my English test, but I think it'll be ok even if it's about Shakespeare's sonnets. :confused:

The support of ticketline told me that it was too late to change the adress, because they are about to get to the box office. :thinking:

nope, they queued from 7am :laugh3:

and I think has previously been mentioned if you paid for a seated ticket rather than standing/unreserved level 1 seats, you can turn up whenever

 

 

 

I don't understand! I have Ga tickets - gates F&G and it says queue ne ramp..... (this is for the 18th)

 

Me also but for the 19th

 

 

from the Wembley explanation I've read, you queue at the ramp on your ticket. and they'll let you through certain turnstiles.

 

 

^The gates aren't actually important any more.;)

 

they are if you're seated, not if you're standing. but I would definitely stick to the relevant ramp on your ticket to ensure no hassle.

so close, only 2 more days at work now!!

Anyone got any idea of how early one should be thereand queuing to get to the front?!

 

I'm staying at my cousin's and we can both get to Wembley really quick so distance isn't an issue... so like EARLY early?

 

OMG so excited =D

HELP!GLOWSTICKS!
