The show - to take place at Manchester's MEN Arena - will also feature Michael Buble, JLS, N-Dubz and Hugh Laurie. Tickets go on sale on Friday with details at <a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey target="_blank">www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey</a>. David Tennant, Fearne Cotton and Chris Moyles are to host the November 17 concert Children In Need Rocks Manchester, to be broadcast by BBC1 and Radio 1. Further names and surprise guests are to be added to the bill, which ties in with the BBC's annual fundraising spectacular. For the past two years the concert has been staged at London's Royal Albert Hall and the move to the north-west of England ties in with the relocation of several BBC departments to Salford. Take That and X Factor star Gary said: "I'm so thrilled that these incredible artists are giving their time for such a special charity that is very close to my heart. There are still some great acts we're keeping up our sleeve to announce in the coming weeks and who knows, I might even sing a little something on the night too." http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5gaW5-Si8OrMMK9beadPP8VzefmQQ?docId=N0363171315925847119A Also at http://www.dailystar.co.uk/playlist/view/210886/Gary-Barlow-s-gigantic-gig/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolstenfierce Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Coldplay Children In Need Concert I dunno if this goes here, but I just read that Gary Barlow put together a charity concert for 17 November in Manchester, with Lady Gaga, Coldplay, and Elbow. There will also be other artists and celebrities in attendance. The information is here, and on other news sites as well, but has not yet been announced on the Coldplay website. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beckie42 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Just thought I'd let you all know, I have tickets :D :D :D :D :D Happy bunny. They're crappy seats, right at the back, but they're facing the stage, and the rest are ridiculously expensive, so... Better than nothing though, right? Good luck to anyone else trying for tickets :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga had better bring beers to my seat for that :shocked2: that was the price of 2 tickets. coz obviously I wouldn't buy 1 for you and not 1 for me :p so works out cheaper than War Child becasue its less petrol & no hotel room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayachris Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I have 2 standing tickets :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 We didn't get tickets in the end, too expensive. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Oh really, how much were they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Almost £90 each for standing! There were others in the nosebleeds for £50 but since it's on TV anyway we thought it wasn't worth the expense of travelling there and finding somewhere to stay to watch it on the big screen. I'll just donate money to CiN separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenc Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 A bit late in getting to the thread, but I also got tickets for this. 2 standing tickets, so me and my friend shall be rocking in Manchester :D I'm so excited and can't quite belive I actually got the tickets, they sold out so quickly!!

Craigie-J Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Thought I'd bump this up a bit since it's next week already! I'm going, with Roos (Rooze - from this forum) and we wanna meet up with others in the queue perhaps. Who else is going? Anyone up for meeting in the queue? We are standing btw, so what time will others be queueing for? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
