Hi Rich,
we arrived at Manchester just after 4pm and were at the front of outer golden circle so yeh I would think 3 to 3:30 a good time. The fan club did seem to fill inner circle but they did let a few more thru. Am sure if u tell em ur wife is 26 weeks they'll let ya thru!!! Nickleback came on around 6:30 and did just over an hour. Hope this helps.
