    I think thats been a running theme, didn't start until 22.00 on Thursday when I went either.

    Did you nephew have SFF tickets?

    Yes my nephew did. Was his first ever gig and he wasnt sure what to expext but during the drive home said as soon as GnR hit the stage they were booed and then the guitarist kept missing notes and swearing, infact he enjoyed the support act more.

    Another point he made was the SFF tickets state start time of 8.45pm but the actual tickets you get at the venue stated 6pm so they missed half of the support act as i dropped them off at 7.30pm following comments i had read on HUKD.

    8.45pm was the time GnR should have gone on stage!!

    Oh dear, doesn't bode well for tomorrow. Although they were late when I went I thought they were good once on stage.....they must be getting too old for all the late nights! :rotfl:

  • I have rang MEN arena to see if when we get there it will be first come first serve basis, and what time we had to get there. They said they had never heard of seefilmfirst and that my name wasnt on the list to get in ( i have had the email from seefilmfirst with my ticket) now i dint know what to do i live an hour and half away from manchester and dont want a wasted journey! So confused?!?!
    I have 2 gorgeous kids :D
  • hubby went to see them at Birmingham last night (pre-bought tickets not through here) and already expected them not to come out til 10 as I had read the comments on here - he said they were fantastic - thoroughly enjoyed the whole night (although £6 for a double vodka without the coke was a bit steep!!) - at the end of the night Axel threw his mike into the croud so someone is proudly holding it this morning - he rang me about 12.15am when they were leaving the venue.

    Its not a guest list, you exchange your print out for tickets at usually a dedicated box office , Showfilmfirst give out tickets all the time, I have been to several concerts with them, people used there tickets for the O2 last week, Birmingham last night with no problems. There will be a box office for you, don't worry.

    There is now a discussion thread for Theatre/Concert codes

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/37588738#Comment_37588738

    previous concert for feedback if your worried

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2547109

    and to the regular codes thread to show how many they actually give away and that its genuine.

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2106851

    They basically fill unsold seats to make the arena look full

    It would probably be helpful for those going tonight, if people who went last night to Birmingham could give feedback about picking up tickets etc.
