I hope Late that you will decide to go - it's a lot of trouble but it'll be worth it, I'm sure!! Just ask if you have any questions still. And keep us all posted on whether you are going or not.

Flying to Britain is not that expensive with Ryan Air. In fact, it's ridiculously cheap. Stockholm-London costs 30 pounds. And Tampere-Stockholm some 20 euros by Ryan Air. It's not much.

I know that there was a Finnish girl in Stockholm who had her graduation day the next day... She said she'd rather miss her big day than a BJ concert. Fortunately, I think she was able to manage both.

I´m still thinking about it. How the hell should I travel in London? Quess what it costs to fly from Helsinki to Madrid and back again with Finnair? Over 1000€!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don´t know if it has the accomodation but still......

IF I should go to London, I don´t want to travel there alone. I want someone to travel with. I know nothing about the city. I know it´s quite big compared to Helsinki. Are any of the Finns going to London?

Yes, but you DON'T want to use Finnair - you want to use Ryan Air. As I told you - a flight from Tampere to Stockholm with Ryan Air costs 20 euros, and a flight from Stockholm to London costs 30 pounds (300 old Finnish granny money). That's not expensive. And the same rates go for all Europe - you can get to many places from Stockholm with Ryan Air, and they're not expensive. Max. 60 euros I would say.

In London, you travel by tube (the underground) or bus. I don't know exactly but you can get 24-hour passes that aren't too expensive, and travel with that. Hyde Park is very close to big tube stations, you can walk from there to HP. That's not a problem. Besides - if you need company, we'll be there!

I think Kaisa from suomen_bj list is coming. And we'll be there of course

And Jovian. You can fly back to Finland with us but you have to get there without us

You buy a 1 to 4 day travellers card. One used to be able to buy them from Helsinki beforehand from the British travel agency, I'm not sure if it's still here...

Hyde Park basically IS a tube station, am I right? Hyde Park corner or something?

Yeah - but it's a huge place, and depending on which side of the park you want to get to you might want to choose a different station.

But there is one just opposite Speaker's Corner - can't remember the name tho now.

Marble Arch?

It's not THAT big. I've walked around a few times.

Thanks for the info but I got some more questions for you.

What about accommodation? Are there any cheap hotels near Hyde Park? To which airport does Ryan Air fly to? Heathrow? How long a trip is it from the airport to Hyde Park?

Could one use Visa Electron in London? Or should I change to pounds?

Ice, where exactly is(if it is anymore) that place in Helsinki where one could buy travellers card? How much is it? What does it mean exactly? Can you use any public transportations in London for free when you buy that?

How much are the tickets to the gig? Where can I get tix? I know I can´t get to the front row with you guys but what about the "second pit"? Does it require FC membership card?

When are you going to go there to queue? The night before?

So, how many tix have they sold so far?
