As far as I can tell there are at least three British based Medusans (plus their significant others) heading over to New York for the St James Cagney day gig, Clarkycat, RICHB and myself, any others heading over?

Will the occasion be marked on the 17th by a change to the lyrics of Sally Mac' to "Well St Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born"?

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.

For what it's worth, I've never been let down by a Will Call option. Just make sure you take with you the card you used to purchase the tickets.

Haven't been on website for a few days so just seen Smoz's question. I will be another Brit over for 17th March, no significant anyone, just me. Actually I was due to fly over on 18th to watch my son run in half marathon on 20th but the temptation was too much and I changed my flight to a day earlier.

For Seinfeld fans, try out The Original Soupman on 55th and 8th avenue.. more affectionally known as the Soup Nazi. Al Yageneh no longer serves the soup himself, but it's good stuff. Just be sure you have your money ready, know your order, then move to the exteme left.

..(you guys who panic about ten days before can consider that i'll be having my pre gig beers BEFORE i have my ticket!!!)...

If it's OK with you all, I'll be joining you at St Andrews.

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).

I notice that the New York Dolls are also playing in, errm, New York on the 16th. Looks like what was already going to be a good trip is getting even better, two of my favourite bands playing gigs on consecutive nights in one of my favourite cities.

I can't believe people are still asking this question.
