Did anyone on here go either on Fri or Saturday night?

I was there on Saturday and fairly close to the front. One word - amazing!!

For those of you who have tickets for this tour, you will not be disappointed. It was visually stunning!!

Oh, don't put Gary down!
Couldn't get tickets but just read a show report and can't wait to get the DVD when it comes out later this year.

I went last night and it was amazing, the best show i've ever seen. All i can say is don't bother reading any reviews or looking at any pics before you go - you have to see it with your own eyes Stunning!

The elephant was genius. Loved the show completely and the whole Circus theme was spot on perfect. The performers they had were top notch.
Loved the weird freaky guy thing for Relight My Fire!

They are playing now just down the road from me. Just about hear them. I am so stupid not to have got tickets, as all I have heard is what a fantastic show it is.

Was there Friday & Saturday night & it was FANTASTIC!!! The magic is seeing it for the first time, so if you are going to see them, don't look at the videos on You Tube.
You will be amazed!

Anyone here in the queue for the Metro back to Newcastle on Saturday night? It was quite amusing when we got to the point of cheering the almost empty Metros coming thro (and then booing the full end carriages) - ahhhf fun times.

Yes I heard the cheering on saturday night when almost empty metros came

what time did you get on metro??

the booing and cheering was entertaining

someone in the crowd in the queue was singing it only takes a minute

and the people behind us responded with

not in this queue it doesn't

We got on one at about half midnight. What time did you get on one? The guys controlling the queues were a good laugh too.

We got off at central station. My sister parked down at the multi storey next to the arena cos she wasn't sure about how to navigate round Sunderland. Don't live in Newcastle no, live up in Stanley, so it was half one by the time we got home.
Everyone was in the same situation on both nights, so it was no good moaning really. It was a good laugh tho.
Oasis is gonna be worse I think, cos you're gonna have more people that are a bit (lot) drunk I think.
