Guest guest Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 We're going on Saturday!! It was part of DD1's Christmas present and it took me a whole, very hungover morning after DH's office Christmas party, to get tickets. I'm *really* looking foward to it! who were the support acts, and what time did Robbie come on stage? Can't find this info anywhere locally, and DD1 is determined that we should be at Old Trafford for doors opening at 4:30 and won't be convinced that Robbie won't appear till *much* later...

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 Vicki ABC came on at 6:30 Shoot that poison arrow to my heaaarrttt...followed by a half hour break and then Toploader came on at about 7:30ish Dancing in the moonlight.... and then Robbie came on at 8:45 but didn't come on until 9:30 on the previous night apparently. Well advice is - don't bother going too early - its a sitting around experience for the eager ones. The groupies will get to the front at ALL costs and will barge through - so even if you get a ring side seat at 4:30 watch out!! We sat on the banks of the Bowl until the first hit of ABC - they were approximately 1.2cm high. Mmmmmm I thought! I need a bigger Robbie! So we went and stood at the back of the first bank of people which wasn't THAT bad but then magnetism drew us into the crowd and we managed to get about a 100 people back from the stage. This was achieved by a vacuum basis - if people moved out (which they did in between bands) - we moved in. There are definitely 'banks' within the main crowd and it was not too bad. The first band around the stage are tightly packed - we got to the edge of this - the second band of people do not want to be as crushed and you can walk through them fairly easily if you are ballsy. Everybody was standing by Toploader's record - even up the banks apparently. The front crowd stood about an hour before ABC came on. Weird phenomena for me - never been to this size gig before. Sound and effects were brilliant - burgers, hot dogs you name it all for about £3, bottled water at £1.20 and check out the Robbie sweatshirt for £50.00. Robbie was FANTASTIC. (and about 2 and a half inches high!!) but well worth it. Have a great time Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Thanks Chris!! DD1 is a not-very-brave 12 y-o, so I doubt we'll be getting as close in as you Still, I did get standing tickets rather than seats (it's at Old Trafford cricket ground) so we at least have some scope. I went to see Prince at Maine Road a couple of times, and Bowie (do you remember that one, ??) and used to be a regular at Glastonbury so I'm just hoping I can remember my concert-crowd ettiquette!
