Take That Manchester - Questions..

bambinaUK

At Sunderland, what time did the Pet shop boys and Take that come on stage and what time did the concert finish? Just trying to work out how fast we will need to walk back to the train station!!

We've been to TT at Manchester before.
Never noticed fold up chairs.
No food or drink allowed.
Parking at the ground is £10 & limited - the roads are closed after the show for a while to let everyone out, so if you park there you'll have to wait. Last time we parked about 10 mins walk away for £10 - by the time we walked back to the car we drove straight off with no problems.
We had the same tickets last time, un reserved seating / standing - got there about opening time & went straight in wth no queue. Got good seats, a lot of people don't seem to bother until TT come on - not sure it'll be the same with the pet shop boys.

Going this Saturday so can try & answer any questions after. i do remember food being expensive & not good, so eat before going in.

Pet Shop Boys were 7 o'clock, Take That were 8.30 I think as they change the stage around a bit in between. They finished at about 10.30

Hi,

Does anyone know where you can smoke?

Has anyone had problems getting decent cameras in, I've got a Nikon Coolpix p500 and had no idea cameras were not allowed until reading some forums today.

I never thought about camera's... was going to take our mini video camera as this is our childrens first concert and wish to film them... not Take That!

Anyone know?

Thanks, Nikki

Last night was fantastic!!!!

Saw a couple of people outside with fold up chairs, i didn't see them inside so I can only guess the got crushed - haha.

We arrived at about half four - the queues were massive - they may be a little mote organised today. It took an hour to get in - bag searches slowd it down. Water is ok is un opened, cameras everywhere, i didn't see any being turned away but most people had small compacts - we have a good Lumix but didn't risk it & took our old one.

PSB were fantastic, they came on at 7 & did 45 mins. TT came on at 8.15 sharp - people in front of us went for food at 8 & missed loads - why????? It has to finish at 10.30 (mcc rules).

Brilliant day - enjoy

So was food/ drink other than water being confiscated?

What were the prices like inside?

I assume anything in pockets wasn't checked?

Sorry, by water i meant any drinks - people were frantically eating outside so i suppose no food & drink is being allowed.

I don't know what prices were like inside - i thought they'd be expensive so ate before getting there & took unopened water.
There are food stalls outside the stadium & the usual chip shops etc nearby.

It was hot yesterday so coats were being carried - my OH had his jacket felt briefly, and quickly patted is jeans pockets. As he was a bloke he didn't do that to me.
