Few questions on going to see Oasis Wembley 12th July

Phragzy · 26-06-2009, 1:47 PM

Afternoon all,

Im going to see Oasis in 2 weeks time at Wembley. Ive been to alot of local gigs but never done a stadium one.
I see the gates open at 4 but not sure if i should get there for this time just it seems a little early and im guessing Oasis wont come on until after 8ish?. I of course want to see the support band but still im sure they wont be on until after 6.
If anyone could offer advice on what time would be best to arrive it would be appreciated (for your info i have pitch standing tickets)

Thanks in advance

Unless you're over 6 ft, I'd recommend getting there well early.

The missus and myself went to see George Michael at Wembley and couldn't see a thing from the middle of the pitch

Fortunately a nice woman saw my missus nearly crying in frustration and gave us 2 tickets for the seats, as they wanted to fill them up some more.

At a £100 a time, it was no wonder.

Gates open at 4pm?

I'd want to be queueing from 2 o clock, myself.

Oasis are the bizz in concert, saw them at MK

Many thanks mate, Guess i will be heading off early then.

I'm going to totally disagree here. Yes, if you want to get right down the front, then go early. But with a stadium gig you can't really see the performers anyway. It's more about the atmosphere and spectacle. Plus, once you are down the front you don't want to give up your place to go to the bar/toilets/food. I'd get there about 6.

Having said that, I am 6' so am probably one of the people who shorter people can't see past

I hate tall people

Yes, of course if you're not interested in seeing then I agree.
But I can't see the point in that myself. Each to their own I suppose

Probably not much use, but the OP's info, GM came on stage about 2-2 and half hours after the gates opened. There was no support act though.
Of course all concerts are different.

Entry to Wembley was really slow, but it was the first concert held there, so I'd like to think they've sorted it out now.

As for travel, we stopped short of London and got the tube in, which worked very well

Phragzy · 26-06-2009, 5:06 PM

Cheers for the replies. Theres a large group of us going and well i dont think anyone is majorly concered with getting right at the front. Think as pmc said its more about the atmosphere. Plus i dont think i would want to be at the front as once ive had a few drinks i turn into a sieve

We might now be getting a coach down which gets us into Wembley for 2:15 so will have plenty of time to decide what to do.

pmc · 27-06-2009, 11:05 AM

One other thing I will add, try the burgers. The ones in the new Wembley are great

MrFurious · 27-06-2009, 10:54 PM

i went to watch them in the millenium cardiff a few weeks ago, i went in at about 4 and saw all the support acts, kasabian were absolutly superb, t-shirts were £20 and the programme a tenner.
Oasis were excellent and the show they put on is great, the use of the screens was great with the effects they used.
only thing i wasnt keen on was the urine olympics, pints flying through the air lol

enjoy

Just beat me to it...

Take a hat and something waterproof - or wear something you won't mind smelling of ******. Have been to see Oasis a number of times (off to the Ricoh in Cov next week), and you always get the idiots who think it's funny to throw it about. I understand if they are right at the front and don't want to lose their place - but standing to the side with loads of space around them and the toilets not 50 yards away - and yet they still flop the old chap out and proceed to hurl the resulting 'warm foamy ale' anywhere into the crowd.

My missus was hit with a plastic pint at the Millennium a few years ago (Noise and Confusion), and that put her off. Not the band, but the idiots they seem to attract.

Apart from that, have a great time...

I am off to see Oasis at wembley as well on the 11th, at wembley they have a 'golden circle' near the front of the stage where they let in a few 100 people, i managed to use this when i went to see Muse at Wembley. Its worth getting there early though if you want to get in here as it fills up quick on a first come first serve basis.

Dman77 · 05-07-2009, 8:10 AM

Another question about this one, if standing on the pitch, say towards the centre somewhere, how easy is it to go and get a beer when it's all in full flow? Or do the crowds make it impossible?

Badger0-0 · 05-07-2009, 12:22 PM

Well, the GM concert (which didn't sell out), it was dead easy.
People were walking round with beer containers on their back, and you could just collar them and order

Make sure you have a fat wallet with you though

Whats the story with food/beer/toilets in the golden circle. Are there separate facilities in there or are you stuck?

You can come and go easily but finding your way back to the same spot to find friends is tricky. As mentioned, keep an eye out for the beer guy

I'm not sure about that one.

I don't recall any facilities in the circle.

From what i remember you can get beer and there are toilets i was well worse for wear so everything is a little hazy.

This gig at wembley is going to be amazing, neither Oasis or Kasabian who are both amazing live have never played at the new wembley so im sure they are going to give it their best. Reverend and the makers are pretty good as well. Cant comment on the Enemy as i have never seen them live.

Not quite true - Kasabian played at Live Earth.

Depends which support bands you want to see.

These are the approximate stage times for Sunday:
16.40 - 17.10 - Reverend & The Makers
17.30 - 18.10 - The Enemy
18.30 - 19.30 – Kasabian
20.00 - 22.00 – Oasis

Where did you find these stage times?? Trying to find some for the Saturday, but thinking as Saturday is finishing 30mins after Sunday just add on those mins to these times.

vivacity · 06-07-2009, 9:05 PM

Got it from the Oasis official website forum.

The times on there were for Saturday and I took 30 mins off.

So yes, add 30 mins for Thursday / Saturday.

ezkremer · 06-07-2009, 11:00 PM

Thank you.

i want to come for the kasabian at 18:30. 18:10 pm would be fine?

MrFurious · 06-07-2009, 11:12 PM

Back from seeing them at Coventry last night - and I don't think I have heard them sound better. The new stuff is excellent live and probably (IMHO) the best version of 'Anger' I have heard - very stripped back.

Only ruined by the chavvy underclass element in the crowd - muppets.

vivacity · 08-07-2009, 4:33 PM

Wembley Stadium site now has provisional stage times:

Thursday / Saturday
17:00 - Reverend & The Makers
17:45 - The Enemy
18:45 – Kasabian
20:30 – Oasis

Sunday
16:30 - Reverend & The Makers
17:15 - The Enemy
18:15 – Kasabian
20:00 – Oasis

pandy92 · 09-07-2009, 8:35 AM

Judging from the BBC Weather website we are in for 'Heavy Rain' on saturday.

**Hillskill** · 10-07-2009, 8:58 AM

Oasis were outstanding last night. If your heading down saturday and sunday whatever you do DO NOT MISS the support acts. Reverend and the Makers have never really been across my radar but they quality, Enemy and Kasabian managed to raise the atmos a couple of notches higher just in time for Oasis to blow everyone away. The sound could have done with being a bit louder, we must have 10/15 metres from the front and we could still have a convo between ourselves and not struggle to be heard. Also, halfway through Wonderwall the audio cut out leaving the audience to finish the song

Once it was restored Noel was very quick to point out there would be "no refunds"

Sounds good mate - did they have the golden circle or was it first to the front sort of thing?

yatesDELTA · 10-07-2009, 11:22 PM

I was there, unfortunatly in the stands, will be standing next itme though lol. We went in as gates opened and it looked like to get into the circle it was a matter of who gets there first. But not sure.

Soz for my late reply (been recovering

). They did have a little VIP section at the front but I wouldn't have gone in there if you paid me.........a cups of suspect liquid were being hurled in that direction
