Would love to hear when they come through so I can stop checking!

@Snackpocket you can stay at a premier inn on the tram route. I've had a quick look. The ones close to Mcr are £300 for a night but Altrincham is 20mins on the tram into mcr centre & they will have trams from there to Heaton park.

You can get a Bury tram from Altrincham that goes to Heaton Park direct, no need to change in town :)

Thank you. The annoying thing is I've got so much family in Manchester but not really close enough to any of them to be cheeky and ask them to put us up!

I was 2500ish in the queue to start but got two for Wembly - tier 1 seating on the back wing - wanted more to the side but those were the £200 tickets!

Would have gone for Heaton Park if it had been me and DH but DD gets anxious in big crowds and would really freak out if she got covered in piss so opted for seating at Wembley.

I purposely picked a Friday date as I figured the queue would be less busy than a Saturday

hby9628 · 30/08/2024 21:07

@Snackpocket that is annoying!

We saw Oasis at Heaton park 15 years ago & there was a park & ride but it can be a pita getting out at the end. Plus no good if you want a drink.

@Changingplace @Snackpocket you can not get on or off the tram at Heaton park after the gig
You will walk to the next stop in whichever direction you are staying in.

Cool thank you. Just looked at hotels in Altrincham and the place my parents had their wedding reception at in 1974 is available to book! Bit pricey mind 😁

@Snackpocket Cresta Court??

hby9628 · 30/08/2024 21:11

I looked at Sale Premier Inn & they are selling rooms for £300. Insane!

@needhelpwiththisplease I'm annoyed is this true? Why don't they make it easy to get the tram at heaton park? I guess I will drive if i get to go. Its well set up at Parklife. They made it easy at new order to get the tram last weekend.

That's the one!

needhelpwiththisplease · 30/08/2024 21:18

@ZenNudist yes it's true.
Heaton park tram platform is not very big.
The next stops along are not very far and cars will not be on the roads around the area.
It's the same for park life and all other gigs

hby9628 · 30/08/2024 21:18

Classic wedding location!

northdownsouth7 · 30/08/2024 21:21

I also got two tickets this evening for the 26th July at Wembley. Now to find somewhere to stay…..if anyone has any recommendations for Wembley / surrounding areas then would love to hear them. All of the Wembley hotels on site look to be booked up already. Argh.

Ahh us it? My mum and dad are from Wythenshawe. Well actually my dad will always point out he's from Bagueley and my mum is from Newall Green.

Might have to see if my mum can find us a family bed for the night 😆

I didn't get a code, ho hum, at least others have been more lucky at securing tickets. But this is infuriating! People with zero interest nicking tickets and selling for £ks!

Really annoys me that does!

Besideourselves · 30/08/2024 21:39

@northdownsouth7 search along the jubilee line , around Southwark and London Bridge there are a few Peek Inns. Works quite well for Wembley

Besideourselves · 30/08/2024 21:39

*Prem Inns

northdownsouth7 · 30/08/2024 21:46

Brilliant! @Besideourselves thank you

Trams ran from Bowker vale after Parklife, its the other side of the park but not that much further really.

I don't think presale is ridiculous but I'm not sure the benefit...is it to stop the surge of so many people trying to get tickets or is it so they can gauge interest & decide about any extra dates?

Also, to make it slightly fairer as it is pure chance whether you are lucky in the ballot.

If they did not have the presale then the people with the fastest wifi, specialist software etc would be able to have an advantage.

ellaballoo · 30/08/2024 22:21

DH was lucky enough to get a code.
We are going to Wembley from Manchester as I’m too old for piss throwing avoiding at Heaton Park.

TheFlis · 30/08/2024 22:34

Kitkat1523 · 30/08/2024 19:18

Ahhhthats hard 🙄…keep going

We got tickets!!! Not great seats but we got them. Massively stressful but it will be worth it when we’re at Wembley.

YellowphantGrey · 31/08/2024 08:42

I'm in the queue now to get onto the ticketmaster site. Not even the queue for the waiting room for tickets!

Good luck everyone!

Evenstar · 31/08/2024 08:54

I had gone on as far as I could on a PP’s advice, but it looks the whole site has crashed now according to various media sources
