photome

We are going on fri 8th and have standing /unreserved seats, our plan is to get in the stadium and get a couple of seats near to the front.

Anyone been and done that, what time should we get to the stadium

I'm going today, so I'll let you know how I get on! Doors open 5pm we're leaving house about 3.30pm (live 3 tube stops away). I know there will be a big queue there, probably mostly people who want to stand I reckon, but Wembley is huge, so probably would have no problem getting decent seats. I went to see Muse at Wembley Stadium last September managed to get seats half way down even arriving after the first support act and just before Biffy Clyro came on (damn work lol).

Thanks look forward to hearing your experience

We went last night and joined the queue at about 3.30pm. The queue was massive and we were a little concerned, we joined the B/C queue and it snaked all the way round to N when we joined it.

However, we managed to get fantastic seats. We were in block 123 if you access to a seating plan it will give you some idea of where that is. We were sat ever so sligtly higher than the stage and we had a great view.

Hope this helps and you have a great time next week.

Have checked the seating plan looks like the perfect spot, was there plenty of unreserved seating to pick from?

I am guessing a lot of the queue were looking to get good standing spots?

Was there still empty unreserved seats when the show started?

Sorry for all the questions

I was thinking of getting there early and trying to get front row but I am guessing that may be a bit low

Well today I got there just before 4 I think. Queued for ages, got really good seats though. Go to the left hand side of the stage as the right side has 3 blocks of reserved seats, so there are more seats to chose from. I think I was in block 123, about 4 rows down from where the toilets and concession stands are. Really good view it was. It was an amazing gig! Might post a picture up soon!

Hi, don't worry about all the questions. I'm happy to help all I can.
Looks like Sharon87 was in a very similar place to me, so it sounds like a good bet

Most of the lower tier of the stadium is unreserved seating. As Sharon87 mentions there are some blocks to the right as you look at the stage which are reserved. I think these are corporate seats.

I think you're right, a lot of people were queuing to get a good standing spot.

The seating around where we were filled up pretty quickly, certainly before the Pet Shop Boys came on at about 7pm. Although it looked as though seats further back were still free. It depends how large a group of you are going. The later you arrive I would assume it becomes more difficult to find say four seats in a row compared to just two.

If you are getting there early for a front row seat then you can always have a look at the view from seats further up and decide which you prefer.

I went last night and joined the queue for F/G at approx 4pm. I was dismayed that the queue was all the way down Wembley Way and thought that there was no way we'd get seats. The doors opened approx 4:30 and then the queue moved really quickly and we were in just after 5pm. We got block 103, about 20 rows back and had a good view of both stages. Ideally, we would liked to have been closer but block 102 is reserved for corporate (which we didn't realise beforehand) so I guess if you are really keen to get closer, head towards the left hand side of the stage as there will be greater choice.

I think many fans had been queuing from 7am, they were set up with blankets and rugs and food hampers! The queue is roped off then split into sections. However, further down the line this isn't the case and we had some people attempting to push in, however, we sent them away with a few terse words! They weren't the least bit embarrassed though!

We were coming from Cambridge so we left there at 2:15 and arrived at the coach park by 3:45. Getting home was much longer - we arrived back at 2.00 am so feel knackered today.

It's an AMAZING concert, my first time at Wembley and it was incredible. I think Robbie was the highlight for me as he is a natural entertainer!

Many thanks for all your replys

There are only 2 of us and we have tickets for the B/C entrance.

We may try and get to the queue early afternoon, and then try and get near the front in block 123, or at least along that side.

Thanks again

I wouldn't suggest trying to get seats at the front of the blocks- you're too low down to really see anything. It's actually MUCH better to be slightly higher up. Also, if you are front row, you get people walking in front of you all the time and blocking your view as you will be level effectively with the people who are standing.

We got in around 5.15 on friday and got good seats, but there were very few left at this stage.

Also word of warning- queues for toilets are huge, so bear this in mind when calculating your fluid intake!!
