im willing to do updates if no-ones doing any
got tommorow and wed off work so im good to go 

any members fancy meeting up before the show feel free to pm me 

[John]

Can't wait for the show tomorrow. Sadly I'm in work all day but taking my cousin to his first GNR gig, and there's always something special about them coming to your hometown.

Enjoy the show ladies and gents.

I'm attending this show also, which will unfortunately be the last UK show for me, as I can't get the 2 London dates off work. 

I do of course still have the Rotterdam and Paris shows after them to look forward to, so it's not too bad is it. 

OK, regarding this show..... same as usual. I will be catching a coach to Manchester Airport, and then a taxi to the city centre (Arena). If anyone notices me from the pics I've recently posted, like with Frank in Newcastle, or my Birmingham pics, feel free to say hi. I'm up for meeting fans for a pre show chat, or maybe a beer... we'll see. 

Can't wait, Manchester is always a good show.....bring it on!!!...

[Hammy]

Will be there, should be awesome!!

[CIAT]

I believe Kobra and the Lotus are going to be the first opening act at this show. It's listed on their website but not on the venue's website. Can someone at the show confirm if they play?

[John]

Just got to work. This is going to be the slowest day ever.

Listened to Abnormal on the way in and a bit of You're Crazy. Got some strange looks on the train when I had 'Glad To Be Here' on. Those iPod headphones bleed too much.

Hoping we get some good recordings or a bootleg.

Feel free to say hello tonight, I'll be the guy in the GN'R shirt.

[fieldsy]

All goes right, you will get an audio bootleg from tonight.

Birmingham audio to be shared soon

im wearing my Chinese Democracy Best Buy promo so i should be pretty unique, Big star on front with best buy release date on reverse. its a pretty lucky shirt...last time i wore it i got Axl's whistle 

[One.In.A.Million]

Just about to leave for the coach station, catching a coach to Manchester Airport from Birmingham. As I said in the tour thread, I will be in the city centre at around 5.30 - 7pm ish.....will be looking around for abit as I never tended to do that in 2006 and 2010, so say hi if you see me folks!!!...

Nice! Go for the mic this time then.

I need a more unique t-shirt I think, got Ashba's cartoon GN'R one from the 2010 tour which is pretty cool, but really want a HTGTH one or something.

Unfortunately not getting there until about 9 tonight, but will see a few of you guys down the front hopefully.

[allwaystired]

If you're getting to Manchester Airport it would be cheaper for you to just get the train to Manchester Picadilly- very regular and cheap.....

Not sure you need my help- but might save you some money!

dont think ill get his mic in block 102 

i think you'll have a job getting to the front at 9 mate......but if you work your way down the barriers at the side and then fight your way to the centre you should be cool. what i did at the leeds fest was jump into a mosh pit and exit the circle closer to the stage.... bit messy but does the job 

[chainsmoker]

Can't wait for tonight, me and my sister are in party mode already and we are nowhere near the MEN yet 

[wadey]

im at the arena and theres theses a few fans here already

[wadey]

sorry about the jumbled last post... Damn phone! Lol

[Axlspants]

Not long now, I'm super looking forward to tonights show, have a great seat.

Will Thin Lizzy be on at 8pm? I thought they were fab in Liverpool and want my other half to see them tonight but are not arriving in Manchester till about 8. Will get my foot down if they are on at 8!

[wadey]

Del James just signed my language of fear....top man ! Im heading inside now and will try to update depending on reception

[Jezza103]

There seems to be a problem with letting people to their seats. They are just letting people in now. I doubt Lizzy will be on at 8
