Theres a queuing system at MK Central for the duration of the concert.

Silverlink are running trains to London every twently minutes from 11:00 till 00:40 (or something like that) so don't expect to get on the train you think you will

Let me know how you get on - I'm only going to MK in one direction on Saturday, London to MK. I'm then staying at Luton Airport with a m8 before getting a train home from there on Sunday.

WAGN provided a very good service for Knebworth (although you did have to purchase special tickets and queue quite heavily on the way back) running a special shuttle service between Stevenage and Kings Cross. Fingers crossed that Silverlink do a similar job.

EDIT: I should add WAGN ran much later for Knebworth, the concert finished at 10:30 but it took us till midnight to get to the station (only 20 minutes normally) because of the volume of people and the bad job they did of managing the crowds leaving. Don't think I got on a train till nearly 1 AM but the service was still running strong even then. The Bowl is much more geared up for this kind of thing so I expect it to be a lot lot easier.

I have driven up to MK before - the car parks are good and well situated. Last time I saw Robbie there it took us 3 hours to get out the car park so I am preparing for a night of it. Knebworth was much worse - left the car park at 4.20 am!!!!! People were actually coming in for the next day's gig when we finally left. I am hoping it wont be like that.

Soooooooooooooo excited now. Check out youtube and type robbie in the search engine. There are lots of amateur clips of his show around europe.

Cant WAIT!!!!!

In which case I hope you've called them, I think they said to speak to them if it hadn't arrived by yesterday lunchtime.

I bought it from E bay , The seller had great feedback and looks as though all he does is sells tickets for gigs, He gave me his phone number in an email today, I've just phoned him, He was going on about picking some up from some bloke about 50 miles away, (because he should be getting hold of loads later), then posting them to me IN THE MORNING , I'm meant to be going saturday, My OH tells me not to worry, I'm not as optimistic, I'm going to resign myself to the fact that I wont be going

Enjoy yourselves everyone

All I can say is: I hope it all works out. I can understand why you may not want to get your hopes up but if this guy does this all the time I'd have hoped he had the resources to pull it off.

Did you pay by PayPal? At least you can open a dispute through them and should get your money back. Even if you paid direct with CCard your bank should cover you.


Let's hope you're in the crowds with me on Saturday !

Thanks for the reassurance , but we bought the ticket more than 45 days ago, (which is the cutoff for paypal disputes i think )/

Lets hope I'm in the crowd too,I'll be the one screaming the loudest

I really hope u get yr tickets. If you look at it logically, all of us had to wait until wed to get ours. Maybe he is telling the truth - because of the delay. I am sending happy lucky thoughts to u. Hope u r there.

God that is a bummer i am so sorry. Make sure you get your money back. There are still some last minute tickets available on ebay, sellers are stating that they will bring the tickets to the venue - maybe you could do that. Alternatively, ticketmaster still have some for tuesday. Pull a sickie and go then.

I feel really bad for you

I'm much calmer today - my tickets arrived on Tuesday and I managed to sell them on Ebay...

..and just got a phonecall from T-Mobile to say I've won one of 10 pairs of tickets in their competition for tomorrow.

For the first time in my life I actually cried with laughter - at the irony of it all!!!

I'm guessing they will just be general admission tickets, as they haven't said otherwise, but as T-Mobile are the sponsers, if I get there and get given inner circle tickets I think I will just fall down on the spot!

Me neither usually!

Mind you, not that jammy, the first prize was a meet and greet and I didn't win that! gutted!

I bought my tickets last year with 7 people in mind who wanted to come with - all of which pulled out over the year which is why I was left with 4 tickets - and I couldn't go myself because without them I had no one to go with so I have been thoroughly fed up all week - I have had other friends have their tickets delivered here too so all in all I have had my hands on 12 tickets in the past week, yet none of them for me, and I wasn't going - I should be there now by rights.

So now I'm finally going - made possible because all those people who didn't want to buy the tickets I had got for them will suddenly make themselves available now that they're free....

I answered just before you asked!

7 people had told me before they went on sale that they would come with me, and the limit you could buy from inner sanctum was 4 so I thought, well that's 3 people who can come they'll fight it out - so I let them all know and one by one came back the messages - "I can't afford it now" - two friends wouldn't know until July because of exam dates which then moved to early September before they could let me know so I hung on to the very last minute possible - and then had to admit defeat!

Well, I don't get why people turn up so early to these things.

I went yesterday, General Admission, and first off it was an absolutely fantastic evening - anyone still to go - wish I was going back.

But I don't get why people start queing the night before, or so early in the morning ?! I got there at 12:30 (in the afternoon) and was in the front row of general admission. Not because I pushed or whatever, thats just how it worked out.

We got there about 6.45pm - weren't fussed about seeing Orson (who apparently didn't play anyway on Friday!) Got a great place to sit just at the bottom of the slope behind the disabled seating area and thoroughly enjoyed Basement Jaxx before an awesome show from Robbie. Wasn't too bad getting out either as we left via the side gate. So glad we went (my sister let me down as soon as it moved to MK and missed a fantastic night).
