cheeetaz Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Ok, so my plan for the upcoming hours: - charge my phone (doing it right now) - have lunch somewhere - maybe nap a bit in the hotel lobby - check in and head to the O2 directly after that (should be there by 3, i hope) Maybe the first person from the forum to be at the O2 can give us an update q'ing wise.

Nattatouille Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Hey guys, I was going to go up early to queue too-- but I was told there is strictly no entry/pre-queuing for the show at Indigo until 8pm via their Twitter team (due to The Brits traffic/people/crowds)...

Means what? I'm sure a lot of people will arrive much earlier than 8 pm. Will they send you away or make you wait somewhere else? EDIT: Posted by indigo at the O2 twitter "Please be aware that due to the high cap of people entering for the @brits there will be no early queue system for @Coldplay tomorrow" Sent via Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingForKate Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Hmmmmm, crap. This may make me change my plans. No point in getting there early only to be turned away. Grrrrr. SFK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJWG Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 yep, its 8pm queue start, they'll move you on if you;re standing there. i'm going to get there at about 6 and go to a bar near the entrance. Or….. there is Deadpool showing at the cinema at the o2 which i might go and watch!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingForKate Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 IndigO2 twitter says: Access to @indigoatTheO2 for @Coldplay tomorrow will not be granted until 9PM. Thank you! Also: No support act! Just #coldplay guys. Apologies if the website is not updated. :( SFK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nattatouille Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yeah that's my thoughts. I would really like to be on barrier but I reckon it's going to be a pain by the looks of it... I'm so confused what is going on. Thankfully I've found myself a hostel for the night as they say that the show is curfewed for 1:30am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or….. there is Deadpool showing at the cinema at the o2 which i might go and watch!!! So what if you are just standing there? You are not allowed to stand in a public place just because you want to stand there? Will they put you in handcuffs?

Nattatouille Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 IndigO2 Twitter just responded to me: @nattatouillez Hi Natt, you can queue after 8 outside of the venue! Have fun So there we go. I'll definitely head up and prowl the area from 6-7ish and hopefully get a nice spot in the queue :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomethingForKate Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Sounds like a plan guys, I'm on my own too so will head to the bar across the way from the IndigO2 from around 6:30/7pm and check-in with the board to see if anyone's around for a drink.

Seems like it's inside the O2, won't it be for people with brits tickets only? It's inside the O2 complex but outside any of the O2 venues. It's still a public access service so hopefully they shouldn't be able to stop us going for a drink! We can but try. SFK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJWG Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 we'll be fine to go to bars just not into the arena. We'll probably be able to hear The Brits for free haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingForKate Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Right, just booked a cab to take me home, I gambled at 1:15am as they say latest cabs should be booked for 1:30am.
