thanks JMH,thats perfect cant wait

Classic stuff JMH !!

Two of my friends asked me today if i'm getting seated tickets...aahhhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Hammersmith is an awful venue - ive seen everyone from Guns N Roses to Missy, Kylie to Erasure, Gabrielle to Garbage, Cranberries to Rufus Wainwright, Girls Aloud to French and Saunders there.

Virgin run the bars and they are always hideously understaffed - 20+mins to get a drink, there is little room to have a pre show drink, and the seated area is miles away from the stage - although I think you get binoculars. The seating starts half way back over the standing area.

The standing area is sloped so you can see even if you arent stood behind a 6'1 gayer like me LOL! Moral of the story - book standing!! And drink before you get there!

dam it,im tempted to buy some standing tickets now anyone wanna buy my seats

Have fun Stew, I have only memories of a Bangkok gig in 2002 to enjoy.

Until the new DVD of course.

i remember that day well, it was the sunniest day , I met chris and pete backsatge and got my t-shirt and ticket signed, this was the first time i saw the other side of chris, he couldnt have been nicer talking and having a laugh with fans

my first concert was erasure - innocents tour. it was much too loud for me, but someone gave me a handkerchief, so i quite enjoyed it. the next day i hat some trouble, because everyone in my school asked me if i was gay. didnt knew about that topic in pop-music that time nor understand any lyrics.

Good God no!

Get there early. Maybe you have a chance to meet the Boys when they arrive. I got backstage pass when I was there hours before the gig.
Don´t forget these things to take with you: camera !!!!, tickets, something Neil and Chris can sign, if you scream a lot the some pills, handkerchiefs, yourself
If you aren´t allowed to take camera in the venue, put yourbag full of stuff. It might work.

also remember to visit the bank beforehand if you wish to spend a weeks wages on a t-shirt and programme, and dont buy a cup like i did before nightlife and you end up having to carry the fu***r around all night,

thats the advantage of taking the wife with you - she can carry everything he buys; it'll make a nice change i'm sure plus i'm sure your really chuffed you've got you mug at home

always!!!!

I went the Thetford gig as a 'Virgin'.

Christ, it was amazing. The boys didnt stop for around 90 minutes and it was an excellent venue.

Being outdoors, the grassed area rose slightly away from the stage so everybody got a reasonable view.

If anyone else reading this is a 'Virgin', POP YER CHERRY and enjoy it,
