Im off to wembley for the second show and im interested how people are getting there and where people are staying etc..

I leave my little town of nailsea at about 8am on a train which changes at Bristol Temple meads and then goes straight to London paddington. I then have a few hours in London so will probably do a bit of sight seeing. I then have a check in at 3pm a the travel lodge hotel at 3pm and at which point I will dump my bags in the room and head to wembley.

I will then return to my hotel after the concert and wont leave London till about 8pm on sunday as we wanted to get the cheapest train tickets possible so we have really turd times. O well!

Where u all coming from?

We get in probably friday morning, and will locate the hotel and then walk around to find some fish and chips!! Going to stuff as much into this short trip as possible, LOL (not fish and chips), looking forward to hopefully meeting up with all the Coldplayers who are going!! This will be an experience of a lifetime!!!

Around 3-3:30 am: Being split up in 2 cars because we are five people and don't want to pay for parking at the airport.
06:50: start flying to London
7:00 arriving in London

We'll be walking around a bit, probably visit the Abbey road and shoot photos there walking like the Beatles... Of course we'll also be visiting some music stores. We might also be doing some shopping to smooth our girlfriends that have to bear all the talk about music :-D

Later we'll be sleeping at the YHA St. Paul's where we've got a 5 beds room.

On the next day we'll be walking through London again, having a great lunch and then my best friend and me will go to the first Wembley show (around 4 pm). The other day we are going all together and a bit earlier.
Then we still have 1 and a half day left to do whatever. Think we will be having a whole lot of fun!

at the moment my plan is to leave my house around 11:30, drive to basingstoke, hopefully get lucky and get a car parking space in my favourite car-parks, walk around to the coach stop for 12:30, catch the bus and get up-to wembley for 2:30ish

Assuming that the coach timings don't change.

Coming from Oxford so just to mke sure I'm in london early enough I'm getting the coach the night before and staying at a friend's house. No clue what time I'll be heading to the stadium, but will talk with the people from here I already know to see what time they are meeting up. Leaving london sunday night as I want to meet up the gang for the post-wembley meeting/picnic/whateveritisatthemoment

Flying from Houston, Texas but coming to the UK for a 2 week stretch so arriving the 9th. Taking to underground to Wembley and we have a room at the Ibis so we won't have to fight the crowd to travel back to out to our evil volcano lair between the two shows.

Flying from Singapore a couple of days before the Manchester gig, but will be based in London. Same as Angie, will stay @ the Ibis Wembley so that we don't have to worry about getting back to London after the show on the 18th.
