Like Pink Floyd? The Wall in particular? See this show. Absolutely spectacular.
Tix are spendy. Beg. Borrow. Steal. Sell a child. Sell two if they're small.
I'm a world-class cheapskate and found myself wishing I'd paid for up front tickets. I don't know how demand has been over there, but scalpers here overbought and tickets were available for face value or below in the week leading up to the show.
And Roger's voice sounded better than it has in over 20 years, IMHO.

Yes, also bought tickets for a Manchester show next May. £83 is the most I have ever spent for as gig ticket,   but it's the nearest i will get to seeing Pink Floyd |

Yup, I've booked tickets for the O2 Arena in London for May 2011 - 4 of us in the 10th row - cost me a shed load of cash Envious. You won't regret it. We were upper level - stage left and it was great. With seats like yours, it'll be incredible. Have fun! |

We're really looking forward to it. We forked out for the hospitality package - minions bringing cucumber sandwiches and glasses of Pims etc - so should be a blast. |

I think I'd rather listen to a recital of Vogon poetry by Prosthetic Vogon Jeltz.

If this gig is anything like when Roger did Dark Side of the Moon it'll be amazing. If I hadn't seen that gig I would be quite green right now.

Oh yes ......... it was SUPEEEEEEEERRRRRBBBBBBB.
We had seats front and centre on the arena floor nearly at the front. The VIP pass gave us access to a 'booze and canapés' area before the show and at the interval plus the usual freebies.
The show was excellent. Plenty of people 'of a certain age' around us singing along. The visual effects and projection on to the wall were very impressive - well worth the wait (and the money).

Glad you had a great time. We did, too. See? I wasn't lying. This time.  |

...and I was there the night Dave Gilmour went along to play... what an awesome experience - not so much Dave himself as the audience reaction... We had pretty good seats, straight on from the stage, right next to the empty bank of seats behind the sound desk. Massive venue though, you could've been a lot further away...
