I, for one, will definitely be there. New Kids are my fave group of all time, have been a fan since I was 12! anyone else getting tickets? They will be here April 28th I believe.... Tickets go on sale next week.   8)

I would love to see that concert but we will have only been back a short while in the UK from our vacation in the States. I couldn't ask Dh to go see them so soon after that I wouldn't feel right. [smiley=smitten.gif] I loved the New Kids On The Block when I was younger.  [smiley=smitten.gif]

I've never seen BSB in concert before, but I have their albums so it will be. A nice change to have both artists in one venue. I've seen NK a total of three times with two being in the last couple years.... And it never gets old. Lol.

I saw them in 2009* (Did 5* and all) and it was one of the greatest nights of my life as I waited almost 20 yrs to meet them. Amazing night and Ill never forget it. I didnt get to talk to Joe (My FAVE!!!!), but did squeak out a sentence to Jon. LOL

I would love to go now, but cant justify the cost of the tickets (4* - no meet & greet - is something like £150) so missing out. Plus the nearest theyre playing to me is in Manchester. Id have to rush from MEN to Piccadilly to catch the last train back....

*Im on the right to Jon

5 star for London was something like £500!!! I'm thinking they must be nucking futs! Lol. I've met Joe before and it was free though I won the chance to meet him from the radio and this was when he was doing a solo thing. Haha. So funny because you never know what you're going to say when you meet them. I would LOVE to meet Jonathan, he's so gorgeous. Gay and all. Haha!

I wish I would have known that tickets were available that soon, I would have gotten them then. I only just got them today because I found out the advance purchase went on sale the 20th. Oh well. I didn't get great seats, but they're not in a horrible section! I will still try to get better. Haha.

Sweet! Hope you got good tix!

He was really nice, though it was awkward cause I couldnt muster any words together. lol. I didnt pay that much in 2009. I paid £60 for my third row (on the side) and then £120 for the 'upgrade' - which the company that does the meet and greets no longer sells. I thought that was an okay price at the time.

If you wait until about a week or so before the show, call the box office to see if they have any better view seats available. A lot of times, the acts & the venue will release more up front seats as friends and family tix arent needed or radio stations return seats from contests.

That is insane that they do that.... But I will definitely check that out and just sell my other tix if I find something better. Thanks for the tip.

I would definitely pay £150 for a meet and greet, that's not bad at all. I guess whoever handles that realized people are willing to pay £500 to meet them, therefore prices went up. I think it's disgusting to charge people that much. I'll take my chances and run into them on the streets before I pay £500 to meet them. Lol. Surprisingly, all the VIP tix are sold out! So there's people out there that will pay that, unfortunately....
