Thanks for help

Has anyone been able to get Pit tickets for May 22nd through AXS? It always shows like their not sold out but nothing ever comes up.
Are you from Finland Topi? I am flying over from Helsinki on the morning of the 25th (land about 9am!). Am also flying over for Twickenham but not booked the flight yet.Quote

Ouch, rule #1: never fly day of show J/K hope you make it in time. The show itself doesn't start until like 20.45ish.
Haha, i know, it was either sleep badly and spent the day hussling between the the hotel and the venue, or sleep well and go directly to the stadium.Quote

Finns, Finns everywhere! Feel free to e-mail me, we'll organise etkot someplace.
Thats a good plan.Quote

Golden Circle here as well. Plan is to get there with no rush and just get the farthest back fence at the soundboard, lean against it and enjoy the music. Girlfriend in tow, her first show, she's not that tall and not that into crowds either. This is why we'll aim for that spot.
I didn't do half of the shows last year, I only did 5. And I was in the Stockholm pit, but Ronnie's side (along with Sami Yaffa and Jo Wood )

Avoid Twickenham Guest House!
Had booked a single room incl. breakfast well in advance for GBP 67 via booking.com. Was allowed to cancel that up to a few days prior to event. So no need to pay now also. Today the guest house canceled my booking claiming my CC data was not valid and that they could not charge my card. That's BS of course. Card is OK, have other bookings with same card and same portal. Now they are selling a room (one person in double) for GBP 265.
I think a lot of that kind of thing goes on Latvian. Shameless profiteering. I got a single room for 2 nights in Manchester for £27 a night, a 45 minute walk from Old Trafford. If they do the same to me, I'll just drive there and back and not bother staying over, though that's clearly not an option for you. Plenty of accomodation in London so you'll easily get somewhere for much less than 265GBP, though you'll probably need to travel a few miles.

Learnt tonight that exactly the same happened to two other other people I know. So much about business ethics.

For London locals and experienced visitors, a question.... Would a Visitor Oyster Card be the right option for tube fare, etc?

If you have a debit card (as opposed to a credit card), All tfl (Transport for London) services and modes of transport accept contactless Payments. If you do so, you are charged the same rates as Oyster Card holders.
Don’t forget to touch out when you exit tube stations, even if the barrier’s open or else you’ll be charged for The maximum possible fare for the maximum possible price I.e about 5 gbp. I’ve been caught out with that before.

The Transport London site recommends Oyster for tourists. I use it on my visits. The trick - I belatedly learned - is to try to avoid peak pricing, i.e. start the journey after 9:30 a.m., etc.

St. Giles Hotel in Bedford Ave, London, has reasonable rates for small single rooms with Wi-Fi and breakfast included. I'm there for a week at less than 90 quid per night.

Thanks GAFF, I have a room in London. Yeah, the St. Giles has been hosting one or two Stones parties. The bar is open until late. Have stayed there.
