i definitely agree with that Paul...

even now i'm still not certain how things are going to be organised on the day of the performance... and since i live in manchester and it's a nice area i wouldn't have minded for the 1st time queuing up from really early in the morning...

even though it's more expensive i think in theory its a better idea... after all who wouldn't pay £10 extra to save having to queue up for about 8 hours before the doors open... the inconvenience of it and buying food etc etc etc...?

The main thing about the stadium shows is - even if you are at the barrier it is the equivalent of being about 6 rows back at the manchester apollo or smaller theatres, and the stage is twice as high...

... but what you do get is that atmosphere when night falls...
