They were amazing.

We were really pleased with our seats, but were even more amazed when the stage came down from the ceiling and they were in front of us, I could have touch em.

THEN, they went for a walk through the arena and the crowds went wild.

My feet are aching, my legs are aching, my hands and throat are aching, but it was a FANTASTIC night.

Going to see about going to another concert on their tour, well worth it.

I was also really impressed with Beverley Knight, so hoping to see her on 25th November.

Sweetmonkey, you'll get wet

I agree Gary isn't the best mover, but, what he lacks in rythym, he makes up for in enthusiasm.

katzg · 03/05/2006 09:30

ahhh!

No Robbie last night

sweetmonkey · 03/05/2006 09:34

i guess i'll just have to keep dreaming.

what sort of merchandise did they have? is it the same like they used to have ?

what are the prices like? not sure i can be doing buying t shirts programmes etc etc.

might just buy a programme

katzg · 03/05/2006 09:36

programmes were a tenner but the queue was huge! and t-shirts were £20, scarf £15, didn't bother buying anything but then we did queue for 30 mins to go to the loo!

sweetmonkey · 03/05/2006 09:42

blimey . must remember to make sure i go beforehand.

glad everyone had a good time!!

katzg · 03/05/2006 10:00

think it was because we chose to go in the gents which had been convered in a ladies but there were only 4 loos

Whizzz · 07/05/2006 10:36

Yup I agree - Fab !
Went to Manchester MEN on Friday after getting tickets off EBay
Beverley Knight was superb but felt sorry for her a bit as the arena was half empty when she came on - loads of people only arrived part way through her set.

Peeked over someones shoulder at a programme - didn;t think it was that good IMO. However I did but a stupidly expensive T Shirt, but it is fabbo

DH refses to let me wear it out in public though

Nbg · 07/05/2006 10:40

Oooohhh can't wait now!
Am going on the 18th

So glad you all enjoyed it!

Can I ask, what time did Beverley Knight come on and were there any other acts?

It's just we're a bit pushed time wise to get there and we were panicking when we looked at our tickets and it said 18:30!

Whizzz · 07/05/2006 10:42

At MEN - BK came on at 7.30 for half an hour
Half an hour of stage swapping
TT came on at 8.30 & finished at 10.30

No other acts but I think the Sugarbabes are appearing with them at some point (not sure if thats instead of BK or as well as)

So glad I got tickets, I'm still singing !

Whizzz · 07/05/2006 10:43

At MEN the doors opened at 6

Nbg · 07/05/2006 10:51

Oh why oh why do they have to bring the Sugababes?

They are crap!
I'll be so pleased if we get BK. I know that the Pussycat Dolls are stepping in too.

2 hours of Take That though

Whizzz · 07/05/2006 10:56

I couldn't believe the volume of the screaming !
Not been to a concert that big for years & then I have never been to a 'girls screaming' one !

Nbg · 07/05/2006 10:58

Hmmm, not sure I'll be screaming

I just hope my little pregnany legs will hold me up for 2 hours, lol!

Whizzz · 07/05/2006 11:03

No I didn't scream either
I took my camera (which is allowed) - it only looks small but has a pretty decent zoom. Got a couple of good pics even from our lowly position in the upper tier

Nbg · 07/05/2006 11:06

We're in the second tier. I hope we get a good view.

I'll have to get SIL to take her camera.

Whizzz · 07/05/2006 13:15

If its got a decent zoom but doesn't look too professional you should be OK

and you'll need your mobile for Babe

sweetmonkey · 07/05/2006 13:20

im going on the 24th and am in the second row, bought a new digital camera yesterday which can record with sound as well.
do they sing love aint here anymore?
wanna be able to play it over and over

GDG · 07/05/2006 13:54

I'm starting my own thread tomorrow but just thought I'd pop in to say I kissed Gary Barlow last night

Nbg · 07/05/2006 19:12
