    OMG did we ever. Thursday we queued from 2pm and stood 5 person deep from the end of the catwalk bit. Good view from there and yesterday we queued from 12.45pm and we were at the barrier on the side of the catwalk. 3rd time seeing her live and she just gets better. Booked again for October. I cant really put it into words. She held my hand and took my pink pig that I threw on stage.

    Are you seated or standing?

    Thankfully managed to get standing tickets the first day they came out. They arrived a couple of days ago and ive been stupidly giddy since! Do you think its worth getting there a few hours before so we get a good view? Not too bothered about seeing the support act so thought we would spend that time in the bar.

    I only know about the NIA so not sure about other venues. Its much hotter further back and people were being dragged over the barriers having fainted or feeling faint as its so hot, we were only a little bit back into the crowd and I was constantly wiping Hubby's head. Security hand out cups of water as you cant take bottles drinks in with you. I'd queue from about 2pm so get a decent view, if you are short and in the crowd you wont see much and it will be really hot. Drink enough before you go in and make sure you have eaten....dont forget to go the loo too.

    For me it was really tiring doing it for 2 days out in the cold and rain, esp Thursday. Our feet really hurt and today we are exhausted but I'd do it all again tomorrow. To have her so close and hold my hand was so awesome.

    You will have a brilliant time.

    We have some good video too but its not loading onto Facebook ☹️

    OMG those look awesome - you've got some great shots there!

    I was going to consider taking Stepdaughter next time she comes for her tour, but it would seem Pink's show is pretty racy from the shots so I think I'll wait a few years ?

    Still, very jealous though!!

    There was a young girl behind us in the queue, about 7 or 8 yrs old. Her Dad had bought her tickets for her birthday. My nephews are going and they are 10 and 13. Its not too racy, only when she sings 'I Touch Myself' by the Divinals, she has hands all over body...........I wish I was those hands !!?

    There are signs saying all cameras will be confiscated but they arent. Point and shoot ones are ok, H was told to put his SLR away otherwise it would be taken off him, that was about 3/4 of the way through last night. But Thursday he opened his bag to get it checked and the security women said the camera was fine. We got some brilliant video footage off it!

    Can't see your pics at work as we are barred from face book. I'll have a look tonight at home.

    I'm going to the October concert, got my tickets the day they came on sale. I'm standing at the NEC and it will be the 3rd time I've seen her. She's great.

    Not got my tickets yet though and usually they come pretty much straight away :-(

    We just ordered our tickets for October, standing again, at the NIA though, not NEC. Our tickets came only a couple of weeks before the concert. I hope you have a great time, are you going to try and get near the front?

    Really? Ive never had to get to gigs early before to make sure we get near the front. Just usually work our way forward after the support act is off stage. Worried we wont be able to see now. ☹️

    If your ok to do that then, by all means try it. If your going to the NIA I do know a tip that means to are let in first. I myself wouldnt try and get through hundreds of people, I dont think they would let you pass through, unless you had a small child !

    Were going to the o2. Went to see coldplay there but we had seating tickets for that. I think i will try to convince my OH that we should get there a little early. im not actually too bothered about being right at the front, the light shows are usually better from a distance anyway. Hmm, dont know what to do now!

    I think from the seated area you would still get a really good show. My only concern being at the back or right in the middle of the crowd is it being so hot.

    If doors open at 6pm like they did last week, then I'd get there about 3-4pm.

    At the NIA there were 3 different doors and therefore 3 different queues. One door opened first which we didnt know about, so people who had queued from early morning in our queue wernt first in and didnt get such a good view. It was pretty badly organised tbh.

    I think where ever you are it will be awesome but for us we now know whats its like being near the front so we would have to get that position everytime from now on !

    We were thinking of going for a meal in london first and going to the venue at about 7!

    Think we might have to re think the whole thing now. All those wasted drinking hours! ?

    Great pics - my friend and I went to see her last Monday at the AECC but it looks like there were parts of the show missed out (due to size of the stage maybe?). It's a pity as it looks fab (the acrobatics etc).

    We had seats reserved but they were so far away from the stage, we ended up going and standing - which was ok but I wish we had thought of it when we came into the venue.

    Loved her singing the Divinals - I wonder where I can get one of those seats she had....

    Thanks,

    I loved the Divinals cover too, and the Queen one. She missed 'Sober' on Friday, not sure why but that was done on a trapeeze high up in the air. One of the best bits I think. I think her performance is mind blowing, so much effort and money spent on the set and costumes. We looked through our photos of the 2006 tour she did and there was no set hardly !

    The doors usually open at 6pm to the MEN (that's the main doors) and you can then start queuing at the doors for the standing area and they don't normally open those until about 6.45 pm to 7pm then I just leg it to the front. I usually stand at the front on the right hand side so you've still got enough room to escape if you need to and you're not squashed by the crowd in the middle. If she has a walkway out into the standing area like she has had at her past 2 gigs then where I stand is always ok. I got some pretty amazing pics last time I went to see her one of her on a motorbike which is in a frame in my office at work.

    I went to see the Prodigy the other week but we got seats this time and my photos were rubbish but my videos were good. Standing is always good but we did that last time at the Prodigy and got crushed so I know which ones to stand at and which ones to sit down at. I can't wait.

    The best photos we got were from the end of the runway, we were about 5 people back so hadto hold the camera up. U gotta be nr the runway bit I think to get the best view.

    Oooh we're going to see her at the O2 in a couple of weeks, getting excited now. Plus we got really good seats (didn't want to stand) on the first row right by the stage on the right. What kind of stuff were they selling there? Really feel like a t shirt or something!

    Ooh good view then! Brill !

    They sell different styles of t-shirts £25 (I think), keyrings £4, programme £15. hoodies £50, dont remember what else. A good selection though, and a lovely skinny pink tee, great if your a size 10, unlike me ☹️

    I think they do do them in small/medium/large etc, but this particular one is a skinny style, you know, like tight, no good for fat birds like me ! Oh and they sell posters too.
