badaboom Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Can one of the mods open a thread for the Birmingham show please? Who's going? I'm there! Got me a GT pass from Icon so beyond excited!!
badaboom Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 I know :-(( Is no one else on Mnation going? What a shame. Wondering if there is a general boycott now due to the aussie news
jonski43 Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 No, I think it's because most people went for Hyde Park when it was first announced as it was the only live date. It was a few weeks before Birmingham was announced in spite of rumours. I would have preferred B'ham as it's indoors, seated and easy to drive to but didn't want to risk missing a golden circle ticket. I wish I was going there but can't justify laying out more cash. I think you'll have a great time though.
zerbion Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 IT’S TIME FOR THE QUEEN TONITE BIRMINGHAM http://wp.me/p22yAB-2nn
aeroco Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I'm going tonight, very happy to have believed the rumours and not gone to Hyde Park. 10 min drive from home or, shudder, pubic transport. That said, the NIA is so beneath her. I will however enjoy seeing her in a smaller than normal venue. If it is anything like Kylie at the Cardiff shithole venue, the V shaped catwalk will reach its apex at the rear emergency exits.
aeroco Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 IT’S TIME FOR THE QUEEN TONITE BIRMINGHAM http://wp.me/p22yAB-2nn Holy shit, great photo, going to get a great view.
Eanybeany Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I'm coming to Birmingham to see the Queen woo!!, I'm driving down from Manchester where I live then back again to get on a train and watch the show in Edinburgh on Saturday! Bring it on cannot wait!!
hyper Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Has anyone heard anything from barneyboy? I hope he's alright ...
badaboom Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 OMG!!! I can't believe that I'm standing in the GT right against the front barrier!!! Talking to the steward and he said there is an 11pm curfew so she will have to start at 9.
Confessions92 Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Awesome! Have fun! How did you get in? The iPad game?
Raf Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Has anyone heard anything from barneyboy? I hope he's alright ... That's what I was thinking too. I hope he went to the doctor! I have a weird thing when it comes to inner ears so his story really freaked me out
Guest Fukujima Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 omg that arena is so small!!! i'do love to see any of her show in a place like that!!!!
Crux Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Barneyboy is there tonight. I love him. I wonder if he's got into a fight with some big butch lesbian or stolen someone's boyfriend yet?
Eanybeany Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 No not yet its gone 9.30! Strange old place this arena malarky! A lot of piss heads seated by me haha
Eanybeany Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 It's really full but have counted at least 200 empty seats...curtains just come down, not started yet but indulging in sitting in a seat before the GC on Saturday.... Current track being played....I'm coming out! The two drunks causing grief have now been moved/chucked out!
Msig Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Unless the NIA's 11 pm curfew isn't as strict as Hyde Park's, that means the plug will be pulled approximately during "Human Nature" or "Like a Virgin"
Sire Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 It's just a fine if it goes past 11pm. Looks so much better in an arena!
markm Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 According to someone on Madonnalicious earlier they -Just heard her sound checking Die Another Day mixed with Beautiful Killer.
Nessie Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I'm relieved that she is performing in a closed arena without having to deal with rain and windy. I wonder how she doesnt get sick performing in terrible conditions. She really is a super woman!
Eanybeany Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Oooops NO MOTEL CAME OUT I'm having a ball amazing!!!! Xxx
Msig Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Oooops NO MOTEL CAME OUT Ouch! Someone's been given the evil eye...
promise to try Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 beautiful place, all should have been this size
promise to try Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Oooops NO MOTEL CAME OUT I'm having a ball amazing!!!! Xxx what???? she must be really pissed!
smirnoff_ice Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Just got back from the show. My second show. First one in a stadium in Istanbul, second one in an arena in Birmingham. Wow what a difference. Stadium stage and screens are so much more spectacular. She apologized and swore a lot for the technical problem with the motel room, which really disappointed me. The crowd in Birmingham was OLD! The atmosphere in Istanbul was electric, Birmingham was dead, 60 something year olds, which left the show around half the way. What a disappointment.
