Thats a much better deal Keith, it'll be worth paying the extra 6 quid as the journey'll probably be about 3 hours shorter by train! Are you going to the Hyde Park show then?

You might want to consider going to Cork - you can fly from manchester to Dublin for around ?25 return - car hire to drive from Dublin to Cork starts at around ?20. Ticket to the show are just over ?50. - Bargin and then you don't have to put up with the dross they are going to put on during the day at hyde park

Just got my ticket for Hyde Park, hurrah!

I'm all up for a meet up if possible.

Tis a shame we have to put up with so much crap before The Who and Roger, but meh, it's still going to be awesome.

I am so pushing my way to the front :D

See you lot there!

No. Because people buy them with the intention of selling them on eBay at inflated prices.
