The Hilton Kensington is 2 minutes walk form shephards bush empire, £66 at the moment for a twin or double room for 2 adults including breakfast. This is an excellent price for a London hotel and is listed as “January sale” so book fast!

Great if you want an easy wander back form the show, not the best location for the best sights of London.
Shephards Bush Central, Goldhawk Road and Shephards Bush Hammer/City line underground stations are all very close.
These guys are great for getting round too: http://www.addisonlee.com/services/minicabs/

The only time i was there I was standing downstairs and it was general admission. I think upstairs is seated tickets, though i couldnt be sure?!

Oooh ! Just under an hour now until it’s time to buy ! I think I’ll go with “Level 1” since I’m neither punctual nor pushy enough to ever get to the front at the “Standing Area’s.”
It looks like its all unreserved spaces - apart which level you decide to be on - and I think that is a bit dumb considering their website says even if you pick level 1, 2 or 3 you might not get a seat and have to stand at the back. :S
rossyrox said on January 29, 2009 09:04:
£42.20 for unreserved standing, Ticketmaster makes me sick.
chrisjankunas said on January 29, 2009 09:07:
Yeah, quite a lot !! But I doubt this opportunity will arise again so I’m ok with mine ! Now I just have to make sure I can get there on the day so I can at least see !!!
Oh God, I’ll be finishing off Uni in that week !!!!!! :S

Bring it on!! All booked now!! I went for unreserved standing as well.
Can’t wait!
Roxerally said on January 29, 2009 09:08:
Same here also! Booked and printed the confirmation! :) Yipppeeeeee
pwbbounce (moderator) said on January 29, 2009 09:11:
Just printed mine as well and will put it on the wall at home!! :-)
chrisjankunas said on January 29, 2009 09:14:
I wont print it off - I need to conserve ink for my coursework ! lol. But I’m looking forward to it alot ! Never thought I’d see Roxette (or the man from Roxette) live ! Hehe heh.
I was just watching a Sheryl Crow concert filmed at Shepherd’s Bush whilst I was waiting - it looks quite nice inside !! I do wonder how strict they are about ticket types once your inside though !?
rossyrox said on January 29, 2009 09:14:
The rest of the world seems to have print them yourself tickets, not Ticketmaster, it is far more useful to them to charge £5.25 per ticket to print them and £4.95 to post them with no option of box office collection.
If I was a hacker I’d bring them down.
pwbbounce (moderator) said on January 29, 2009 09:17:
There was an option on my screen for box office collection. I’d rather get them delievered to my address though so I know I’ve got them before I leave for the venue!
chrisjankunas said on January 29, 2009 09:22:
@ If I was a hacker I’d bring them down.
lol. Yeah ticketmaster always screw you with the presale when its alloacted seats or whatnot ! Always get offered crap no matter how quickly I am able to race through the selction and stuff !!! :S
I suppose with the print-them-yoursself tickets, someone can always hack your account, duplicate the tickets and arrive there before you - making it seem like you are the thief, d’oh !
rossyrox said on January 29, 2009 09:22:
The BOC was for ROI customers only I think and even that was £3.25 !!

iandvedwards said on January 29, 2009 13:01:
Tickets booked now!! Ground level 1 unreserved standing - I’ve wanted to see Roxette live, but never had the chance so this was a definate must see!!! Am really excited!! :-) Would be great to meet some other Rox UK fans, so please keep me updated on what you are doing. I’ll probably only be around on the Monday afternoon for it.
Ifik said on January 29, 2009 13:47:
Hi there:) I need some advice - want to book my ticket - but dont know which category to there are: best available, level 1-3 and unreserved standing. I want to stand but not if its far away from the stage. Do you know how does it look like? Thanks and wish u nice day, Iva:)
pwbbounce (moderator) said on January 29, 2009 13:49:
unreserved standing is standing in front of the stage!! it’s only a small venue, so you’re not going to be too far away where ever you are!
onlywhenidream said on January 29, 2009 14:47:
I bought mine at 9.01am - LOL
I’m getting mine delivered - I want official tickets.
YEAH!

Looks like a few of us staying in the Hilton.
Almost 10 years since the WICF promotion in London with MTV Select, Pepsi Chart Show and the Capital Radio gig and we’re back.
Bringing my wife - her second ’Roxette’ gig - eldest son’s been luckier with various trips to Sweden for the Mazarin release party and Malmo gig.
See you all there!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on January 29, 2009 16:38:
We were going to stay at the Hilton, but we found an offer too good at the Shaftsbury Metropolis in Hyde Park, we’re staying for 4 nights in London, so it was cheaper for us!
It’s going to be good to meet lots of new people!!
ncurran said on January 29, 2009 16:47:
Got my ticket this morning as well. I’ll be on my own as well. I do have a regular “concert buddy” who i go to a lot of concerts with and I did consider getting a ticket for him, but I know he wouldnt want to queue to stand at the front and I certainly will be. I dont mind standing further back normally, but generally when I am a big fan of someone i like to be near to the front.
Oh and Ive bought e-tickets from ticketmaster before, so not sure why they werent available for this gig
pwbbounce (moderator) said on January 29, 2009 16:49:
Same here - I like to get as close to the front as I can. My last concert I went to (Bon Jovi) I was in the queue from 10:30am just to get to the forth row!
I won’t be getting there that early this time! lol
gessle-addict said on January 29, 2009 16:57:
Since I’m from South America, it would be great to see pictures from you at and after the concert! ;)

chrisjankunas said on January 28, 2009 15:55:
Actually Paul I wanted to ask you something about Sheperd’s Bush - do the ticket outlets actually make you choose between standing / level1 /level2 / level3 or are they general tickets where you can go whereever you want.
I ask because it looks like they give you the option for some acts there to be more specific but for the same price. So I was wonsering if you have any idea on that ??
——————-
Paul mail them- and waiting for answer
3.Would be good if someone give us more info about Sheperd’s Bush Empire as well.
Is it big?Hours of operation and near transport.
