The tickets I am waiting for are GOLD STANDING and they were booked by a friend who bought 4, he is sending me my 2 as soon as he receives them. It is not very re-assuring to be honest as picking them up on the day would not be preferable.

Until u actually have the tickets in hand you feel you aren't really going and with travel/accomodation already booked like me you start feeling uneasy the longer you go without tickets.

For the Wembley 2000 concerts, i booked through ticketmaster 6 months before the show and got the tickets soon after. I hate this long wait stuff.
