Hi dorothy. Your very lucky to get tickets for his opening night. i tried online but they had sold out by the time i tried to book it. Ive got tickets for the 7th in the end, which still cost £85 each which is about the cheapest you can get. I was originally trying for the opening night or the saturday, but they wanted £145 which i thought was a rip off.
What with train fares down to london, hotel and food its going to cost my friend and i a total of about £300 as it is.
To be honest, we're having second thoughts now as we're both skint. Unless we can find someone to let us doss down in london overnight, we might jusr sell the tickets on and buy the concert DVD instead

I'll also be there on the opening night.I treated myself to a VIP Reception and Golden Circle seating.It cost an arm and a leg,but seeing as these are the last shows that he's gonna sing his greatest hits,I thaught "Yeah,go for it!"
I'll also be at the Hammersmith Apollo on the 27th of May to see The Pet Shop Boys
.
If anyone is serious in "dossing down".....I live in Charlton,about 20 mins walk from The O2.I don't mind sleeping on my sofa for the night so I'm offering a double bed to those who need it. P.M. me with a phone number.

Hi suzie b! Don't sell your tickets! You may regret it years from now, it's only money. Anyway barrythemod says you can kip at his.
I hope you end up going and that you have a fantastic night.

Correct.Please excuse me for high-jacking your thread for one moment to give more info to our international forumites.
What's the Cutty Sark?....see HERE.
She was the last of her kind (a tea clipper) and the fastest,but ever since being put in an open-air dry-dock in the early 50's, she has encountered problems with her wooden hull shrinking and has had many repair works over the years.Then,some bright spark realised that the problems were exacerbated by her being uncovered and outdoors,so,after receiving sufficient funding,drew up plans to put her "under cover".
Everything from the top deck upwards-masts,rigging,etc.-were stripped down and put into safe storage in The Royal Naval Dockyard at Chatham (Kent) and a temporay wooden roof was built to cover the top deck from the elements.A temporary builders fence has been installed all around her since the start of this major re-furb.And this is my point........any 6 year old could get past this fence!
Cutty Sark,although built of wood,was a Museum.Brick and stone museums have night security guards,plus smoke and intruder alarms.Even though the super-structure was removed,the basic hull (the main part of the ship that made her soooooo fast) remained a museum,apparently unguarded,apart from 2 CCTV cameras.
IMHO,Cutty Sark has been treated as a building site,relying solely on CCTV,which probably feeds it's 2 camera pictures to a bank of VDU's covering the whole of Greenwich and maybe more,in front of which sits a very tired,solitary security guy,who didn't inform the emergency services of the fire.A passer-by did this,after obtaining video evidence on his mobile/cell phone.
A very sad day for "good old Greenwich"
Sorry DP for my rant,my spleen is now vented.
See you soon
