Just got another confirmation e-mail. Has anyone got any idea what time the box office opens? It states gates open at 6:15pm and show starts 7:45pm, I'm standing and I'll be happy to be about half way to the front to be honest. I'm tall enough to see over most people and want to be able to take it all in without being to near the front, getting a bit old for that...sarcastic.gif

Re Box Office collection: If it's anything like for the o2 gigs, it was only pre-sale tickets bought through r-w.com that had to be collected in person on the night. I was somewhat concerned about queues and problems but it was a completely painless experience. Just wandered virtually straight up up to the Box Office which opened a couple of hours or so before the arena doors opened. No significant queue, just a couple of peeps in front of each window, showed e-mail & ID and was handed shiny golden tickets tix in hand-written named envelope. All sorted and a very happy bunny in less than a couple of mins so plenty of time for beer 'n' munchies and a bit of wandering around etc. before the show. They were pretty hot on ID matching the name/address on the ticket order though so don't forget it ! No ID = no tix will not make for an enjoyable evening and all that wink.png

well it starts at 7:45PM and its claimed it has a running time of 2 1/2 hours { in his recent shows } http://www.hollywood...coliseum-327028 but you never know as he may slip in some extra tracks ' after the wall '

So on paper your looking at 10.15 ' if he sticks to his previous shows ' although I would be surprised if he did not do a few encores.

Watching him on this 12:12:12 gig here. Its weird. Hes gone a bit showbiz on Another Brick in the Wall these days. Kids dancing in stage, lots of gesturing to the crowd, fist pumping etc.

And he looks sort of happy to be there too. What the fuck is going on here? Spit at someone and say something snotty about "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" will you? Thats what the punters have paid to see.

Yeah had it set to record and everything and cancelled at the last minute! Emailed them there about telling them that you wouldn't catch BBC 4 doing that.

Also, whos the bellend singer he has on stage?

Check out this review of the evening by the New Yorker if you fancy a laugh. Very funny.

"Roger Waters was apparently told that the concert was about Roger Waters."

Gotta be honest, and it pains me to say it, part of his performance the other night was bordering on cringing. Lots of hands in the air 80s stadium band stuff, really poor singing (even for him) and the randomer singing Gilmours bits pissed me right off.

Us and Them for example, went from the spine-tinglingly fantastic when it was just the music, to the fingers in the ears horrifically shit when the vocals came in.

Get Gilmour and Mason on the phone Rodge. ASAP.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
