Thanks to everyone here for helping me kill so much time, get away from the real world, immerse myself in U2...there are so many great friends here, and it's been nothing but a good time so far!

Thanks again guys, didn't wanna open my own topic just for this, but wanted to give a little shout out. Someday I'll hit that 20,000 mark... Ha, stay classy, U2Starters!

Just listening to the Turin bootleg.. Bono sounded bollixed by Mysterious Ways, not vocally just physically.

This is what I do at 3 in the morning..

Also, Angel if Harlem from Brussells 2: "It was a cold and wet Detember day" lol

I'm thinking of tacking on some time in Cambodia to my Vietnam trip in March. Anyone been there and have opinions?

I have a HUGE problem at the moment, completely my fault and I need someone to tell me if it's right to do.

First off, I'm going to have to explain the whole scenario. A band called You Me At Six are playing 2 nights in Edinburgh on the 7th & 8th. It was originally going to be on the Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th December but it got postponed due to the severe weather conditions. So the Saturday got rescheduled to Friday 7th January & the Sunday got rescheduled to the Saturday 8th January.

Me and a friend purchased a ticket off of a person we know. She said it was going to be on the Saturday which would be fine. But it turns out she got confused, and the ticket was for the rescheduled Friday date. The thing is, I cannot make it for the Friday so I stood there for 5 minutes deciding if I should just take the ticket. I took the risk. I figured out that I could probably get in with the ticket on the Saturday. I could just say to the security (who rip the ticket to confirm you're going in) that I got confused, or couldn't make, or any other bullshit reason.

So I now sit here very worried incase I don't get in. I've payed £16.50, which is alot of money to risk. I really want to go, but I don't know why the hell I bought it in the first place. It would be very embarrassing to get rejected entry in front of loads of people.

What should I do? Should I take the risk and go for it? What reason should I use? I need help on this. I'd be grateful if anyone could help me with this. Thanks.

Well you kinda have to take the risk unless you can sell the ticket, I'd say go for it though. Just pick the friendlier looking security guys

Yeah, if you bought a ticket, they might just let you in. In line of tons of people, they're just ripping and letting you go, making sure you've got a full ticket etc. The only problems would be...

If the ticket has a barcode, and they're scanning it to get you in, the scanner will reject it and bring it to their attention.

If the venue ISN'T standing room only, and actually has seat numbers associated with the tickets, you're screwed- they can't put two people in one seat.

I know You Me At Six though, and they seem like the kind of band that would play a GA club.

I say take the risk and risk the embarassment- you might get in and have the time of your life, and if not, you might get a great story out of it.

I've been to that venue about 3 times before for concerts and they rip the ticket, they don't scan it, so that'll be fine.

It's a standing room only.

Thanks very much for the help guys. I figured that a few people will be doing that anyway since it was rescheduled and they might have plans. So they would end up going on the other night.
