Reading some of the replies here I would just like to point out something... That when ppl from countries like Holland or Germany say that they're spending a lot of money for going to the Wembley show or the SBE show in London, it sometimes makes me cringe.  Why? Cause I know that it really isn't all that expensive to travel to London from some of the Central European countries. You can get ridiculously cheap flights with airlines like EasyJet, Buzz or Ryanair, so popping in for a show or two in London isn't really a problem, at least if you got some savings.
For people like me or LunasRose, then, it's quite a different story... I don't know what the situation is with Israel, but I can tell you that there are no cheap airlines whatsoever operating in Finland at the moment. We don't have Ryanair, Buzz or EasyJet, not a single budget airline at all. The cheapest rates I can get are with Kilroy Travels and STA Travels, and apart from the occasional special offers, their London flights cost around 270 euros return. And that's something slightly different than the 40 euros or the 90 euros I've heard some ppl say they're paying for their flights to London for the SBE show. 
So before you get all whiney about not getting tickets to such and such show, please spare a thought for ppl like me who couldn't get to the show even if they wanted to. I know LunasRose would like to be at the SBE show and she obviously has the spare cash for it, but there are other fans who are not as lucky...and wealthy.
