YEEEESSSS!!!!!!. Myself and my mate Dave (who ain't my significant other) are heading across the pond. Only booked the flights yesterday cos he got the thumbs up we could use his bosses place for nowt if he does a bit of maintenance on it while we're there.

So happy days.... except does anyone if the box office are contactable to put tickets by for collection on the night as I cant afford them just yet and it would be typical they could sell out meantime. I have checked the website but it doesnt appear that you can contact terminal 5 direct.

Will feel much happier when I know I can definately get to the gigs though

I think you just have to bite the bullet and buy. We have no choice but to go the 'will call' option so we buy, then travel three and a half thousand miles to pick up on the door on the night (you guys who panic about ten days before can consider that i'll be having my pre gig beers BEFORE i have my ticket!!!).

We bought our gig tickets before i checked i could get the days off, before Vicki checked she could get the days off, before we checked flights, before we checked hotels and before we checked we could afford it.

Get a six week loan for the ticket price, the interest will be less than the price of a chilli dog and you will have secure tickets, with your name on, that nobody else can bag without having your face and id, all waiting for you.

Can't wait to (re)meet you fine folks.

I'll want to take in a show and/or have a fine dining experience when in NY, so if anyone wants to, let's work something out.

Thinking maybe Book of Mormon (Eugene O'Neill, will still be in previews, but opens 3/24, so pretty close) or Earnest (American Airlines).
