  • Apparently people were queuing from 3am and at 7am they announced not to bother if you weren't there as the queu's have been closed, so if anyone is planning on going, don't !

    Well this is a freebie I went for. I have to say it's the craziest thing I've ever seen. I planned to arrive at 6am (I even thought this could be too early), was up at 3am to go and got there about 6.30 to be turned away. We'd drove from Nottingham to Sunderland, we weren't the happiest of people.
    People had been queueing for the tickets since 4am friday! From speaking to a police officer he'd told us that at 6:30 (a bit earlier i think but I'm not sure) it was full as there were 6000 people there at 2 tickets each??
    Just the stream of people going there was ridiculous, I never expected something so huge, still I'd have loved to have gone, the sunday line up is awesome, if anybody comes across some tickets, let me know? I'm very tired right now lol.
    (hope I'm making sense, I'm knackered)
  • check out ebay, no doubt alot of the tickets will end up there :rolleyes:

    Well, they're hitting £100+ on Ebay, so I don't think I'll be doing that.
    There realyl should be a better method of distributing the tickets.
