  1. Yes have to say would have preferred a different location in London (or even better one nearer me- shame they aren't doing Elland Road like on original tour as I'm in Leeds) as remember it being a nightmare getting back into town the last time they played there and indeed when I saw the Stones there.

     

    I did try to get a cheap hotel nearer to the stadium but had no luck so had to go for a hotel in London so will have to battle through the crowds!

  2. Hi all

     

    Been trying to find somewhere reasonable to stay and unsurprisingly everything near Twickenham either fully booked or super expensive.

     

    Managed to find somewhere cheap in London near London Bridge (so not too far from Waterloo) in the LSE accommodation that they rent out in the summer.

     

    Basics in some ways but gets good reviews

    In case this helps anybody- was £58 for a single room B&B and £78 for a twin 

  3. All sorted- did it via the app.

     

    Went for seated as kids are too young for GA- initially went for middle tier as figured they were the middle priced ones but they were the £187 ones so went back and got the ones at £78.  In the upper tier but looks like good position (hopefully won't be too bad for my wife as she doesn't like heights)

    Just found this for London

     

    Tickets are priced at £35, £70, £100 and £170. This is the face value cost, and are as ever subject to change. A service charge will also be added on each purchase.[/size]

    That's great info... where did you find that?

     

    I haven't used ticketmaster for a while, can you select a specific price range when booking or does it just default to best available (highest price)?

    For ticketmaster you can either do best available or select a price range

    • In London prices will range 40.30 – 187 GBP for seats..

     

     

    Hi BigWave... I really wish Ticketmaster (or someone) would confirm all of the price levels for seated tickets at Twickenham.  Is that too much to ask the day before they go on sale?  If you click the drop down arrow below the £40.30-£187 "range" then it just states two different prices, either £40.30 or £187 and nothing else in between.  I am sure this isn't the case but it really doesn't help me work out with my friends which tickets we want.

     

     

    I agree- my friend is getting pre-sale tomorrow and me Thursday so be good to know what we'd like to go for.  Additionally we are taking the kids so want to know where we think would be best for them.

    Looking forward to this- going to try for London hopefully- gutted can't do Dublin but already busy that weekend.

     

    Just have couple of questions relating to subscription as mine has lapsed

     

    1) If I do re-subscribe will I get a presale code for this tour?

     

    2) If I do get a code is there a priority for the presale given it goes on for a few days- i.e. long standing subscribers 1st on the Wednesday, next lot Thursday, next lot Friday?  If so do we know what order etc.?

     

    Cheers

    If you resubscribe now then I think you should get a code. According to Ticketmaster there is priority for longstanding subscribers (Red Hill group), they get first access on Wednesday at 9am, and the more recent subscribers (Wires group) get in on Thursday at 9am.

     

    Thanks

     

    That actually works better for me as I was most probably unlikely to be online on Wednesday morning

  9. Either Liverpool or Manchester would be fantastic. I thought Leeds might have had a look-in, the new Leeds Arena is an excellent venue.

     

    I thought Leeds may have been on the tour too- especially handy as I live in Leeds

  10. If anyone still needs a hotel for 29th and 30th October, Travelodges have today become available for bookings with a check in date of 29th (I checked earlier in the week and found you can only book 325 days in advance). Prices are fairly decent at the moment, starting at £42 - £63 (non refundable rate) a night for the ones I checked. I've booked into one and will be cancelling my budget Ibis, as I didn't like the look of the walk from the DLR station to the Ibis for a lone woman.

     

    Yep- I just booked Travelodge at Waterloo for £54 so happy with that

  11. Hi all fellow London going fans

     

    As soon as I got my tickets for the O2 started looking for hotels- quite a few of the ones nearby were full up and others too pricey

     

    But managed to pick up Travelodge at Waterloo for £54 which I thought was pretty darn reasonable and not too far from the O2 on the tube- bit wary about Travelodges as they can be very hit or miss on quality- as I remember from the 360 tour and the Wembley Travelodge being miles from the stadium and not the best hotel I've stayed in shall we say.  But this one gets good reviews on Tripadvisor so thought would share find with my fellow U2 fans on here. And no I don't work for Travelodge just like a bargain and sharing it!!!

  12. After wee bit of a mad panic got my 2 tickets for O2 on 30th- GA appears to have sold out and £55 seats are right up the top so had to go for the £90 ones

     

    Thing that annoyed me was when I looked at the cheap seats and decided against them it meant going back to queueing again to choose others which I thought was tad unfair
