I was front standing on Friday and it was great, not too crowded either. We went in through the South Gate which isn't too far from the cross roads on the way in.

Make sure you get there early though as they're only giving wristbands out to the first 9k people. Whole section holds 11700 but theirs a VIP bit in there as well where Pep Guardiola was Friday night lol.

We got there for half 3, found our place and just sat down til Cast came on.

Above info for @Prehab26 as well. My tickets were front standing but I do think others managed to get in if they got there early, so definitely worth a try mate.
Having looked at the crowd and layout we were actually in front standing and we didn’t even realise it. Result ! I didn’t realise there was a VIP area right at the front and then the front standing area. It makes the night even better :emoticon-0102-bigsm

Aye we haven't booked the shuttle yet like. Not sure what to do. Trams look a bit busy but could just go the opposite way for 1 stop and switch to come back on yourself and miss the queues.

Seem people getting upgraded to front standing through the Northgate entrance, so might do that. Or at least try.

Aye, it will help, losing a bit of timber pal.

We walked back for about half an hour toward Manchester until the roads were open and booked an uber. £17 back to Piccadilly before 11:30, took about 15 mins in taxi. We were in the front side like so managed to get out quick but it was much easier than getting the shuttle back by the sounds of it the first load of people weren’t getting back into the centre for about an hour after us. Loads of taxis waiting on Bury old rd offering a lift back for £60 the ****ers.

That happened after the Ozzy Osborne gig.

They said there would be extra trains back from Villa Park to Walsall. In reality there were three scheduled trains. The first one went empty as the concert finished late. The second one was withdrawn as it broke down. The third one was delayed until they removed the broken down one. The last train was filled up and then they said to everyone else waiting, tough you'll have to find another way back. It was almost midnight by then and the buses had also finished.

There were hundreds of people wanting taxis but the ones on the rank were asking £80 for a £20 journey :emoticon-0104-surpr

Kept trying Bolt and Uber. Eventually found a Bolt for £40 and decided to pay that as it was after 1am. While waiting we got talking to a mother and daughter and found they were also trying to get back to the same hotel, so I said jump in ours and we halved the fare.

My brother in law drank some cans in Manchester City centre waiting for the shuttle bus :emoticon-0102-bigsm reckon you will be alright but that walk I imagine is a trek, especially afterwards.

Anyone in Finsbury Park to see Oasis in I think
2002. Pissed it down pretty much for oasis entire set.

never been so covered in mud for a gig!!
 
Oasis day for me! Looks like the weather is brighting up this afternoon down Manchester so hopefully avoid the worst of it.

Not that I'll be arsed see you down the front !
Yaz will all have a brilliant time
 
They were brilliant last night and that's from someone who wasn't fussed about them. The kids absolutely loved it.

Nearly had a disaster when the Mrs told the security guard the bairn was 13 which ended up with him being refused entry. Went back 30 minutes later and got in no bother.
