Thought that Vintage Trouble were the official support act, but their recent support of Kerry Ellis (I googled!) was only 9 songs which doesn't seem enough to fill the 2hrs between 5-7pm!

Gates open at 1pm don't they? Surely in the next 6hrs there is time for 3 acts?! Not even Bon Jovi need an hour or 2 before they are out to tinker with the sound?!

I've tickets to Manchester and after seeing Heavens Basement a few years back, I'm hopeful for a quality local act. However, I've seen the corrupt way the better bands can be overlooked in these competitions and can sympathise with entrants.

Won't open that early surely, more like a 4pm gates open with a 6pm first support act.

Just spotted on my confirmation email from AEG that it says show time 1800!

Pretty sure the gates at last 2 concerts opened around 1pm, 1st act was on around 3pm, next at 5pm and then Bon Jovi at 8pm.

So I've no idea where the 1800 comes from?!

But I do doubt Vintage Trouble filling the time as well as Nickelback did a few years back.

If show starts at 6 they usually let in at 4 ish.... from the times i've been!... If it starts at 6 would anticipate 2 supports being VT and local and the boys on at around 8... pretty much the norm. Can't believe it's only just over 4 weeks away!
