I dont really care where I sit cheap seats are fine. Here are a few questions I have. First, is Wembley Arena near a tube stop? Also, I've never ordered tickets from a site outside the U.S. Is it complicated? My friend told me she found a hotel near Victoria station for about 100 dollars US which seems reasonable to me. I think it would be like the thrill of a lifetime to see them over there!  IM also wondering if its adviseable to get a package deal I.E hotel & air together as opposed to doing them individually. |
I'm thinking of doing the same thing. I flew over twice last year to see French and Saunders (who do a pretty funny FM parody, btw) so I have learned a lot about how things work. The above post is right about the tube station...and its really easy to get around there. Its busy all the time, which is a good thing for the most part because I would rather there be lots of people around than no one, if you know what I mean. It seems safer that way. I would suggest asking when you buy your tube pass if you could buy a three day pass instead of an individual one each day. I don't know if they sell just three day passes but I know they sell week long passes and it does save you a bit of money (not to mention the fact that you wouldn't have to stand in line every day to get a new one)...so it might be worth asking about. As far as the tickets...I have ordered from seetickets.com and it was a much better experience than ordering from ticketmaster. Not to mention that, at least when I ordered from them, there weren't all kinds of ridiculous extra charges that you get from ticketmaster. As far as air travel and hotels, I would get the package deal. Do your research on the hotel though. They aren't all as nice as they appear to be. London is AMAZING...you're going to love it. I can't wait to get back
