Insider info - I brought Will Young tickets for dd1 (6) 11 rows from the front from ebay and I found out that they get their tickets from here !

You need to register but it is a really quick process. Tickets still on sale for the Corrs but you will have to check the Wembley seating plan to see where they are. We were there last night for Madonna (courtesy ebay!) and were very high up but still had a good view. Not sure I'd like to be at the back with kids. So try and go for the side tiered seats. Good luck!

We took ds1 to see Queen when he was 2yo (babysitter fell through and we had no ticket for him!!). He fell asleep at the first note and didn't wake the whole time. We've also taken children to see Bob Dylan and other people whose names I now forget. It's never been a problem.

No probs lavender - spoke to soon! Have just got mail from the person I brought the tickets from on ebay and they cancelled her booking. So I've just checked the Wembley website and they're sold out. So, if future, if I buy any tickets off ebay I'm going to make sure they have the tickets in hand. The Madonna transaction was fine and I got a bargain (£120 for 2 - face value £320!).

dd goes to concerts with my older sister and they've been to see Steps, Five, SClub, Hear Say, etc. They go to the NEC (very local to us) and probably started going when she was about 5.
