Nah, I am staying at home. I guess as I am saving on the airfare I can send a few parcels abroad instead...

Anyone going to answer my question? :)
Go ahead, make my day - by visiting my blog: http://jacobthehobnob.wordpress.com/

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2012" club. I saw 32, which is rather delightful.. I beat Mr. Glass on free films but he narrowly inched me out on total films seen.

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2011" club. I saw 20, interestingly enough. My more realistic target was to see more free films than TheyCallMeMrGlass. I lost.

Level 4 are the high ones. You are in the roof and if you are right at the back (furtherest from the stage) you will only really see everything on the screens. Do not even think about it if vertigo may be a problem. The stairs are really steep and I would not recommend jigging about as you definitely think you will fall over the edge.

I thought as much! After all, it's a Rush concert! Concerning visibility, can you still see the entire stage?

It all depends on who you are seeing and what screens are used. I've seen The Killers and Take That from the top tiers. As they have a big set up, lots of things going on, its alright. Those sorts of performers have massive screens so you get to see a lot more.

I've heard of bands who haven't even had screens so literally all you see is ants wandering around. I always bring binoculars when I do stadia or arena gigs
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

My kids are at the Capital Jingle Bell Ball today and luckily are on level 1 but they have friends who are level 4. They just got a call from the friends to say that some poor woman was crawling down the stairs of level 4 and crying because she is scared of heights - really feel for her!!

The SFF tickets I got for Rod Stewart were level 4, directly opposite the stage, Rod & the rest of his performers looked like ants and his screen wasn't that big, so it wasn't all that clear, but the atmosphere and sound was good, and we still enjoyed the night. My mum found it hilarious that I was so stuck to my chair through fear of heights whilst she was up dancing! I did see another lady leave before the show started because she couldn't bear the height.

Going back to Christmas, my 'darling daughter' who has been Hello Kitty mad for the past couple of years, has just informed me, she doesn't like Hello Kitty anymore, its boring, and don't b*y her the dress I was going to from H&M........however what she doesn't know is I have a whole wardrobe stuffed full of Hello Kitty everything for her for Christmas!!!! :wall: Kids!!!
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!
