Another question: Did anybody find a cloakroom or lockers to store the jackets. I mean it will be surely hot in the pit and I don't want to have the coat on all night long.....

No there is zilch, I'd read it on the O2 site and I asked again at the doors where it was confirmed. I packed my sweater and parka in my backpack and had it at my feet like everybody else, fortunately there wasn't too much pushing, none actually so nothing got damaged. It wasn't that hot actually even in the second row. Nothing comparable to Trabendo where you felt like you'd been to the sauna at the end of the show!

So if it's help for a meeting point in the pit I can change my normal dress of the JJF-T-shirt in my IORR-T-shirt, which I got from bv some years ago.
Perhaps a little bit easier :-)
Interested?

So you're a dancer, eh ? ;-)

@beast - yes that's too bad, we were really close by, did you have a guy with a beard just to your left, he was in front of me just to the right. I've posted some of my MT pictures here, they should look familiar : [www.iorr.org]

I need to decide by tomprrow morning if I'm giving it...one more shot !

I was next to a long-haired Japanese girl wearing a beige mac covered in tongues. She even had the tongue logo painted on one of her nails! Maybe I'll eventually get to upload the photo of that little pinkie. Those are excellent photos of MT!! Too bad you'll be giving tomorrow a miss - but let's hope we all get at least one more shot in 2013.

Ah it would have been nice to meet Hendrik who'd gone out of his way to help those of us that had gotten ripped off by that Hans Mulders character for some B2B outtakes...

@beast - yeah it's too bad I have to give it a miss but that rehearsals/trabendo/mini trabendo/O2 pit run that came out of the blue has left me both drained and "satisfied". A second O2 wouldn't add to it really and given the traveling involved and uncertainty of scoring a pit ticket, not to mention taking care of my family, it's best to leave it at that. I see a "golden circle" at the Stade de France in our future ;-)

In the meantime you guys enjoy the pit (or seats) tomorrow though and take some nice pics for us !

Ah, the Hans Mulders scam..that was a long time ago...helped out because his last name looked too much on mine....

Will be in the pit together with my 15 year old daughter who will get the time of her life...priceless...!

We got to the pit when it was a couple of rows deep,but were turned away by security as we didn't have wrist bands . We had just been waved through once our tickets were scanned,so had to go back to the main entrance to get some.
We went straight back to the pit to suss it out. Decided there was no need to be close to the barrier as we like room to to sing, jump, dance, run around, play air guitar (Keith style) and generally make fools of ourselves.We found we could easily slip out to the loo and get drinks at 7.45 and still get back to our approximately central spot.
Anywhere in the pit is like been in a club gig with the added benefit of having members of the band running around you. Best ever experience at a show.

Bring on tomorrow !

@ladywilliam - makes sense, so where you queuing up in front of stoneswolf, there were two lines weren't there. Where were you during the show, against the railing?

There were four lines. But at my ligne they did not have the wristbands. I got it inside the Pit.

@Stonewolf

I have read your previous post how you entered, which is you shouldn't have done. cool smiley But you were so lucky, wasn't sent back to the entrance like others.

Tongue pit ticket holders should have been in the queue next to the Fast truck. That is only the entrance for us, as the security guys had wristbands. Around 5:00pm we were told where we need to queue, after 6:00pm the security checked everyone's tickets to make sure if we have pit tickets. They did 2-3 times. People could enter from other doors, but you needed to get the wristband from the security before you got into the pit. But you were really really lucky.

Yes, only one gate with two lines, I went to get this in my live photo feed :



You're right it was very disorganized, the display wasn't permanent so a lot of people with non standing tickets were queuing up there and were told to go to the end of another line. It didn't really matter since they had seats. They checked my ticket at least three times and after the second time I thought for a few (long) seconds I had lost it...imagine how I felt !

I'm not sure why some people weren't given a wristband (by the way I wonder if they will change the color tomorrow night!) it happened to another guy who had to walk back all the way.

Opps, missed that one, then I was really lucky. When I asked security about 4pm I was told that section B would be the entrance, not just section B right side. By the way, Ladywilliam, are you by chance the lady I walk with to the people queing for the MB VIP package entrance?

For those who were in the pit last sunday, I put pictures here where you might be in it.

@gotdablouse
Thanks!! I can see my hair!! It is nice to have these picture. I didn't take any. I was only thinking about how fast I can ran down stairs. Tommorow I will enjoy everything I missed on Sunday.

@Stoneswolf
No, it wasn't me. I didn't leave the entrance part from loo & asking security guys. One of security told me as you were told, but 5:00pm, the security came out from inside of the venue and told us that we should be at the first door.
Anyway, you entered OK and had a great time. That is OK.

@shattered1978
Thanks for the pix. I am on the second last of your photos.

Is there some sort of search or can I bring a hip flask in the pit ?

Here's us the pit just between 7.30pm and 8.00pm . Not exactly a crush.

Cool pic, there even seems to be someone sitting ? I'm the tall guy on the left with the grey/green sweater (took it off for the show).

Man I wish I could go back in time to that moment...

Anyone had Pit with early access? Not with dinner, just the early access.
Sounded like it didn't work out well Sunday.
Don't even know if that package was available in London. I was seated.
Got it both nights in NJ.
