A great choice for the gig. It's not 'London' in the way most people understand but you'll be able to tube in in 10-15 mins!

I thought I had my outfit for this planned but then I saw pictures of me wearing it at a party and it was not a pretty sight.
Back to the drawing board! I'll raid Primark nearer the time.

Also, do you think they'd send out tickets sometime before Thursday morning? Doubtful, I know. My parents are definitely going to have to send them to me.

When do you think the tickets will be sent out?! Just realised I'm moving to London for uni, so if they're sent really really close to the date I won't be able to get my fam here to post them out!

I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

No leopard print, no spray paint, no glitter, no feather boas.

The standard response to this is that you can expect tickets to arrive up to a week before the gig. If they don't arrive by then, contact the point of purchase.

It might be worth your while contacting the point of purchase, to see if they can post the tickets to your uni address.

gigs and tours tend to send tickets about a month before the gig

I'm staying at Davenport House in Greenwich. Or at least that's currently the plan because it's one of those free cancelation jobbies.

It's not close to being good value for money, but the location is good for me. My only concern after reading the reviews is over the lack of air conditioning in rooms. It's said by some to get quite hot. That can't be a problem in December... can it?
