    Is it a reputable website? I've never heard of it

    Seetickets is a major agency and has been one of the official agencies for the tour from the start. It's the same company as Gigs and Tours.

    Yes see tickets is fine

    As for the community centre it is

    The grange community centre

    postcode M11 3TQ

    Best way i can describe it is make your way either via sat nav or aa route finder, you will be directed to turn into

    rylance st, then at the top of rylance st, turn right at the corner stop pub, into albert st, where the road turns left you bear right, keep straight along and the community centre is just nextdoor to the townley pub,

    to get to the ground you walk down the side of the pub and community centre along a path, and 2 mins later your outside of the ground on Ashton New Road.

    http://www.manchester.gov.uk/directory_record/8978/

    just click on the above map and it will zoom in for you



    The car park is £5 and the community centre is open before hand for you to use the toilet.

    I have nothing to do with this centre, i just found the information on tripadvisor, and it was the cheapest in the area, and the easiest to get off late at night.

    Hi, I have booked tickets for a friend and I to take our three girls - they are so excited! But now I have lots of questions... If the main show is at 8.30 what time will it end? Will we be allowed to take in food and drink - bottled water and snacks? Any tips on where to park? Somewhere we will be able to get out of to make the (long!) journey home? Any pointers on somewhere to eat before the show - in the ground? Or near by?
    So many questions - any help gratefully received!


    Hi I was there on fri and sat and my friend and i managed to park for free on the road where the asda is just a little bit further up on the opposite side, a very easy walk from here. You can take in one 500ml bottle of water as long as it is still sealed. it is better to do this than get them inside because they are £2 - £2.50 and they take the lids off the ones they sell you so they can be easily knocked over and spilt.If you have sweets in trouser pockets that will be fine. Catering vans open pretty much from 10am (we were there at 7.50am on sat but we did get to front and howard & jason touched us!!) catering vans also open afterwards. huge queues for all toilets when concert ends so if there is a song girls aren't keen on I would nip out then! show is amazing and you will really enjoy it!:)

    I wouldnt recommend parking on any of the streets.. You are taking chances then... Lots of vandalism around for opportunists..
    I meanu spent good money on the tickets why risk your car for the sake of a few pounds!!

    Not the safest place in Manchester...

    I've left my car on the surrounding streets many times on match days without any problems and if you're a few streets back from the main road you should get out without too many queues ;)
