    The e-ticket doesn't guarentee you entry, you will need to take them to Box Office for a proper ticket and you will be able to choose if you want seating or standing.

    I checked the site earlier and there were some great seats left. I could have had a seat in block 102, row B.

    We've never had a choice with ShowFF concert tickets, you exchange your print out for a ticket at the box office, they give them out best seats first, would expect you'll be given seated tickets so they can fill the gaps like at the O2. I have not heard of anyone not getting in, although a group arrived quite late and didn't get seated together.

    We had seats right at the side of the stage.

    There is no barcode etc on your tickets just name, take some ID like a bank card as sometime they ask for it. They are completely ligit, ShowFF fill unsold/returned tickets so the arena looks full. I have seen Bon Jovi, Rod Stewart & GnR with them.

    I wouldn't want standing but there are still some available for MEN so if someone really wants them I suppose you can always ask. You don't get if you don't ask.:D

    I was really surprised that such good tix were still available, first tier at left of stage, they usually go quickly.

    What time do you thnk your concert ended Rainey? Axl doesn't seem to bother to put in an appearance until 9.40pm at the earliest from what I've read.

    Thank you so much for all the info but I think I will have to give this a miss. Axl's tardiness makes it too difficult to get transport home. Just hope that Showff offer more in Manchester and hopefully in Liverpool in the future.

    Thanks Rainey LB, I've just used your code and managed to get 2 tickets for GnR tomorrow.

    Does anyone know if they will let you into the MENA after 6.30pm with ShowFF tickets - not sure I want to see support. When I paid to see Westlife :cool: last year, people were arriving right up to the band going on stage.

    Once you exchange the e-ticket at the box office, you should be allowed to enter any time up until GnR come on stage. They don't allow you to re-enter though and they may prevent entry after the main act has started but that is at their discretion as it is with any concert.

    Once you exchange your print out the tickets are they same as anyone else's ......they just say 0.00 Complimentary where the price would normally be!! ;)

    Just make sure you pick them up on time normally between 18.30-19.30, earlier you pick up better seats you are likely to get.
