I would bet my house on it raining! Skies very dark and thunder and lightning.... Only a question of when the rain begins.....

I just got in, very long queue, but then I arrived at 6pm ;)

Good! She said she was gping at 10am

Can we buy drinks in the stadium?

Great, I am SO looking forward to seeing a drunk Rita Ora. God help us! Just heading down to the stadium now :D I have put my waterproof jacket on, do hopefully it'll turn out to be hot and sunny......

We found some guys camping outside the stadium who were quite helpful but still need to wait until tomorrow to pick the tickets up. Man, I have had a lot of sangria this evening :D

We went this afternoon and found the same, but were told it would be open tomorrow afternoon. Don't worry, it will all be fine and it will be a great show, as I keep telling Eve :) though, I have my ticket already, I just hope that it works :s

Gracias! :) I am really excited about tomorrow after speaking to the folk here, can't wait!! :D

Cheers, temperature is 19c - double what I had in Edinburgh yesterday so it is already a good day :D

Hey guys, I arrived in Madrid and am enjoying myself do far, I am just off to meet Eve81 at the stadium and then maybe more of you later on :D. It is my birthday today so maybe I will have a couple of glasses of wine to celebrate..... ;)

Eesh I'm not off to a good start here, the handle fell off my luggage and the bag fell into a small river due to the torrential rain we are having. Things can only get better!! Still, if it's raining in Spain it will be warmer than here....

Ok well I am all packed for the trip over there, I hope it won't rain but that's just my kind of luck! :(

Lets do it! :)

Ah ok, I will stick with my GA ticket then, and spend the €90 on tapas! :P

What is the advantage of VIP tickets?

It has been a totally miserable year here so far, cold and hardly any sunshine. Still wearing my winter jacket to go to work FFS!! :( :veryangry2: Yesterday it was quite sunny but a cold breeze - today it's completely rotten weather, 9C (if that), heavy rain since 8am and very windy as well. Thank goodness it's the weekend and I don't have to go out!! Off to Madrid on Friday and it is forcast for 30C all week, there for 5 days then off to Greece for another 5 days for the Acropolis Rally which will hopefully be ultra hot and dry and dusty as usual :cool: But bring on summer..... come on Scotland!!!! :dozey:

Can I just say again YES at this date, it's a perfect time when I'm on holiday there! :D I could've done with an extra month to get the cash together as I have the trip to Madrid to pay for, but you only live once........

Ah, that was obvious really, thanks Tash :) I can feel a phone call to my brother coming up.... :inquisitive:

I am up for meeting people, I arrive in Madrid late on Friday evening, I'm there for 5 days.

Wow, seems I'm very lucky with dates as I leave Auckland the next day to follow a rally around the North Island, what a weekend that should be! Hopefully we hear something more pretty soon. Shame if they're not going to Adelaide as my brother who lives there was dead keen to go see. With a bit of luck they will play a few shows each place in Aus, otherwise it will be a very brief tour indeed.... Quick question, for the Visa pre-sale, does it have to be Australian, or will my UK one work?

Ok, thanks for that.

Hmmmm so what's the best time to arrive then? Don't want to be sitting too long... Got seats booked so don't need to be early to grab a space.

Any news about Australia?? Seems to have gone very quiet since the tour started...

Will it be that late that they're on? 8:30? I think the gates open at 5pm, so that would be a long long wait :s I was planning to get there around 6:30 or so. I looked a few days ago and there were rooms available next to the stadium for £40. Could be an option and get the train back early Monday?

It can and does happen which is why you're encouraged to buy only from an official source. Best is to keep your fingers crossed and hope it's not an issue. I have a ticket for Madrid that my paranoid brain tells me it looks incredibly suspicious.... But I will go to Madrid and prey it's not a problem. Before I bought, someone on here said they got tickets from the place before, so that gives me hope. Good luck!!
