Before reading your location, I was like ''What? From Perth to London by bus? WTF?''

Yeah, I don't care much for it on record, but the crowd do tend to go jumping crazy during that song live, which makes things more fun. I just hope James doesn't do it acoustically again; that didn't work for me.

Just wanted to say that I am very jealous of everyone who is going.

I hope James is in good form - vocally (no laryngitis allowed ... until afterwards, then he can rest his voice!) and I hope that it's a fantastic show.

Hope Nicky gets to sing at least one song!! (Honestly)

Enjoy it for all of us who can't go!!!

In what is obviously going to be a regular occurrence, standing tickets are back up for grabs once again.

http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/event/...&minorcatid=60

This is going to hurt some of the current highest bidders on ebay.

Ok, just a question.

I bought the tickets on ticketmasters. Two seated tickets, lower tier. I would have liked to buy standing ones, but they were apparently sold out. They aren't actually, but it's too late. I bought the standing tickets.
Now, I have a logistic problem. The tickets will be sent to the house where I used to live, because the address linked to my prepaid card is the old one. Now I live away from there, about 1200 kilometres.
When will the ticket arrive, approximately? Because when they arrive my parents will have to send them to my current location, and it will take about two days, I suppose.
I'm going to leave for London on December 16th, the day before the gig.
What if...I won't have my tickets?
On the ticketmaster site there was an announcement: if I'm from outside UK (and so am I) and if my tickets haven't arrived, I can collect them at the O2 showing my credit card and my ID card. Ok. But...what if my tickets arrive too late at my parent's house, and they can't send them to me because I'm already in London?

Panic!

Does anybody know if I can collect the tickets at the O2 anyway? Or if the tickets arrive way early for sure, even though I'm in Italy?

Thank you!

OK so I've bought two sets of tickets (one from ticketmaster and another from SEE) and I've just had two weird emails.

One from See tickets saying there isn't going to be a support and asking if I want to cancel my order.

And another from Ticketmaster saying (what I presume) my tickets have been dispatched but the order number doesn't match up with the one on my confirmation email.

Anyone having this type of weirdness?

Seetickets allows you to change your delivery address anytime before the dispatch, I guess you should be able to do that with Ticketmaster as well.
Since you've bought seated tickets, they'll be able to re-print them in case you don't get them and anyway you can always collect them at the venue, given that once somebody collect those tickets, they're not valid anymore because they have a specific number on it unlike the general admission tickets.

LoL I got this email too. Why am I supposed to care about supporting acts? Also, I did know about special guests, not opening acts, so...

That's what I thought. Since I've bought seated tickets, when I'll show them my credit card I'm sure that nobody will come to the O2 with the "original" tickets! There is no ghost version of me! But...will they understand this? Or maybe it goes against their rules?

I've just read on their website that they don't allow delivery addresses different from the billing address of my credit card. And, if my tickets are not arrived five days before my departure for London, I can tell them. So if my tickets won't arrive for, i.e., December 10th, I'll write them.
I'm really worried, maybe I'm paranoic but I have to attend this gig!

I understand you, but these are the rules. As for the future, we cannot tell. You'll have to wait and see how it goes
