    taken from their FAQ

    What times is the box office open?

    Please note that the LG Arena Box Office is only open for booking in person on show days (unless under special circumstances such as a special ticket release). The hours of operation for personal callers at the LG Arena Box Office are limited and subject to change at short notice. To confirm our opening times before travelling to purchase tickets please call 0870 909 4133 for up to date information.


    Where can I collect my tickets?

    Unless advised, tickets should be collected from the relevant venue Box Office on the day of the concert/event. Please present your card at the Box Office window marked "Prepaid Collections".
    PLEASE NOTE : Tickets for evening concerts and events will be available for collection from 1 hour 30 minutes prior to the show start time.
    If you are unable to bring the card (with which the booking was made) to the Box Office, we can accept a signed letter from the Card Holder authorising you to collect the tickets on their behalf. The letter will need to quote the Card Holder's full name, address and card number and should be presented at the Box Office window marked "Prepaid Collections" together with a recent Utility bill (Gas, Electric, Water or Telephone) confirming the Card Holder's details.
    PLEASE NOTE : Photocopies will NOT be accepted.
    When purchasing tickets over the telephone, please inform our sales advisor before booking if you wish to collect your tickets. Usually for bookings made 3 or less days in advance of a concert/event, tickets will automatically be held for collection at the venue box office.
    If tickets are being held for collection the only delivery method available at the time of booking will be 'To Collect from Venue Box Office'.
    If you wish to collect your tickets before the day of the concert/event please contact Customer Services.
    If you have already booked and now want to collect your tickets instead of having them posted, please contact Customer Services.
    PLEASE NOTE: Customer Services usually require 48 hours notice to arrange collection of tickets and that Standing Tickets can ONLY be collected from the show Venue Box Office, after 4pm on the day of the show.

    I've just emailed them for you, will post the response when it comes through, but it says allow 24hrs for a response. I would in the meantime assume you need to pick them up between 6.00pm-7.00pm as with previous concerts.

    If you register with them they send out codes, I don't know of anything for Newcastle, but maybe it would be worth registering.

    Sometimes they ask for ID, but you can email changeofname@showfilmfirst.com and ask them to change the name to your brothers.

    If you do it this way, cancel the ones you are not going to use if thats the case so someone else can make use of them - get the new ones first though in case they are all gone.

    I have registered with Showfilmfirst but I never seem to get emailed any codes, why is that?

    Possibly because it'll only contact you about events within 10 miles, so if your nearest cinema is more than 10 miles away they won't tell you.

    Anyways, have I printed the right thing out? Its just a standard piece of A4 paper with my name on and the time/date of the event. No unique code or barcode or anything?
  • Thanks for that, suppose getting there about 6.30/7 should be safe,

    Used them for films before but this is the first concert, looking forward to it,

    Thanks OP
