Jazzy Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I was talking to a woman at Paolo Nutini on monday and she was talking about her overnight queuing for some gigs (think it was Oasis), have to admit I can see that happening in London this time... What do MFCers do it or is it random people with no place to stay? I don't want to imagine what it's like camping out in London in February. NOT nice. I shall greatly enjoy my nice warm bed that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, and I'm not saying this in a bad way, that the problem does stem from the MFC. It starts with one or two people queuing early then other think they need to be earlier than that to get a good spot, then people outside the MFC see what time people are queuin and try to be earlier... It feeds on it's self, if we all said, "lets not queue until 3pm" and stuck to it then it would be easier but who's going to risk their front row spot?

PS does anyone know if this ticket company is safe to use, I aint heard of htem before. http://www.gigantic.com/g~affiliate=stereoboard~g/gigantic/event_gce_14935a.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I spose it just gets more and more out of control. I can't see myself getting to Hammersmith any earlier than 10, that'd just be silly. Especially as it's the last one of the tour so I'll be knackered by that point. I'll see what Sarah and Jenny are doing as well, and how early my friend Emma will be willing to get up on a Sunday. I won't be rolling into Sheffield until about 6pm, I'll probably be right far back but never mind, I'm missing the following Thursday so I better show to that one.
