To have bought Harry Styles tickets?

No DC to take, no excuse, but his last couple of singles just make me really happy and remind me of great times this summer, so I've spontaneously bought early-release tickets for Wembley next year. DH will come with me and we'll make a day or two in London out of it.

Now slightly concerned that at pushing 40 we'll be the oldest swingers in town the stadium though. Or at least the oldest who are not accompanying teenage girls Blush.

Does anyone know when GCSE finish next year? I’d love to buy ticket for me for my daughter but she’s in year 11 and I’d hate to clash

justasoul · 01/09/2022 18:39

I will try to get some tomorrow at general release, wish me luck! Teenage DD doesn’t care much for Harry and has already made it clear she won’t me covering for me Grin

DH has been informed about Wet Leg and is now much more enthused about the whole thing.

Good for you!
My 16 year old saw him in Glasgow a couple of months back and declared it 'life changing'.
I waited with her in the queue until she could hook up with her friends and I have NEVER seen so many lovely, well-behaved people all in the one place!

My best friend is 37 and has bought a ticket 😂

Eatglass · 01/09/2022 18:48

I got my DD and her friends tickets but could only buy four so am definitely going to sign up to resale alerts (i'm 43)

Eatglass · 01/09/2022 18:49

Also @PastaForLife my DD went this year in the middle of GCSE's.......

Notthisnotthat · 01/09/2022 18:50

My DD and I are going to Murrayfield.

Just got to figure out how to get there.

oviraptor21 · 01/09/2022 18:54

I've always thought he was the best of 1D and I'm glad his solo stuff has proven that he can be successful in his own right.

I'd be there if I could justify the ticket prices. I shall just content myself with the albums.

Not quite the oldest on this thread!

LookdeepintotheParka · 01/09/2022 18:57

I'm a bit concerned about any clash with GCSEs too @PastaForLife 😬

DD says she's sure they'll be over by then but I'm not so sure. It's been such a mare getting tickets today with Ticketmaster playing up so hopefully we can go after all that effort!!

Where are you coming from? Murrayfield is easy to get to. You just get off the train at Haymarket (the stop before Edinburgh Waverley), and it's right there. Alternatively it's about a half hour walk from Princes St. Or you can take a tram from Princes St too.
Hope this helps!

We’re going as well, they’re will be lots of ‘older’ people there, even if that wasn’t the case it really doesn’t matter.

Eddmr · 01/09/2022 19:01

GCSE's finished on the 23rd June this year.

DustinsHat · 01/09/2022 19:02

YANBU wish I was going. Love Harry Styles.

MakingNBaking · 01/09/2022 19:03

I got a couple for dd but now find that her mate was in the queue as well and got much better tickets for them both so I'm left with two.
As I keep referring to him as Harry Potter and dh is still dwelling in the 80s, I suspect we'll be very conspicuous in block 121 🙄

JohnsShirt · 01/09/2022 19:09

I'm 44, definitely not the oldest there, and who cares anyway?

balalake · 01/09/2022 19:20

I'm sure Harry Styles won't mind a few older women in the audience!

Good point. Going on his previous form us more mature Ladies are much more his type than the 20-somethings anyway Wink

I got 4 tickets in my basket and had a frantic what's app convo with my husband about Christmas presents but it was £438 as the only tickets available were £108 each. It was just too much. 😢

PlentyOFool · 01/09/2022 19:55

I brought my DD(15) to see him in Madison Square Garden last year (we live in US), she is an ultra HS stan. Her room is a literal shrine 😂We made a weekend out of it, my DS(17) came along because he wanted to see the venue and we all had a ball. He's just soooo charming and the energy was warm and happy. Google Harry Styles Kiwi Madison Square Garden to see a clip of the entire building bouncing. Enjoy! I'd go again in the swish of a boa!!

Show quote history

Well there's my banner, and he loves to read them out!

MuchasSmoochas · 01/09/2022 19:59

Saw him in June with DD. Aged 49 and proud 💪Got tickets today, it is some show. The great thing is it’s not people getting shit faced, it is such a lovely atmosphere, DD met some girls and she still messages them. You will love it!

Kiwi is ah-may-zing live.
They actually banned kiwis from his first solo tour as he slipped on one thrown on stage!
Now it's all about the nuggets!

Notthisnotthat · 01/09/2022 20:00

@mycatisannoying that's great thanks, in the excitement I forgot that trains should hopefully be an option and not effected by strikes etc like now.
