I'm considering this one.... Cheap ticket only though!

Just checked hotels.... £20.00, very tempting!

Yeah true, but I genuinely reckon you'd be fine if you had seats and went straight there for the show. Turn up at 6:30, bite to eat, goto the ground. Before the car park security know you could be going to the cinema. With ads and trailers + movie that'll be the length of a Bon Jovi show. Guaranteed movies will finish past midnight and you have been a customer as you've eaten there. You could easily spend half a day at star city with bowling, drinks, restaurants, amusement arcades and the cinema

If you went for the whole day and got there at 9am then i agree you'd probably struggle!

Probably will go to this but I see it's a day after the Manchester show. A tired Jon doesn't make for a good show.

What happened to the 2-3 day break between shows?

But then, he has the day off after this whereas if he's playing manchester but knows he has this gig the day after, he may hold back at manchester. you just never know. lol

I'm another local to Villa Park.

Echo the concerns over parking.

An alternative which i think is better than Birmingham is


Tame Bridge Park Way
On the Walsall - Birmingham Line
Popular Park and Ride Station for Commuters in to Birmingham
Free Parking
Only 3 stops to Witton / Aston Station - 15 mins max
Quick Getaway to Junctions 9 & 7 of the M6
Its a no hassle journey because the queues to go to Walsall are always shorter than Birmingham.

That said - Walsall Town Centre isn't a bad bet to travel in from on Train. West Brom isn't a terrible journey on the bus.

But people driving in from elsewhere - Trust me on the Tambe Bridge Park Way - its the least hassle trip. No City centre rush hour etc

Is that a given Yvonne? I tend to get my tickets ASAP so don't have to worry about it. Do you reckon they'll put more cheapos up for sale later then?

In previous years they've always released more tickets nearer the time including the "sold out" ones. Some venues that aren't selling well put offers on also.
