I was 14 or 15, and it was Duran Duran at Manchester Apollo. Me and my friend queued for hours for tickets (£5!) but didn't get them. A dodgy friend of her older brother got us some for a tenner.******** Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity *******"Always be calm and polite, and have the materials to make a bomb"0

I was 13 and went to Wembley to see The Monkees. It was a bus ride, 2 hrs on the train, tube to Wembley and then back. Think my mom was wonderfully trusting but probably mad, I don't think I would have done it with mine. Having said that I was a very grown up self reliant teenager and the most dangerous bit was between my house and the bus stop (seriously rough area.)Sell £1500
