| I'll have to wait until Friday morning, but that's cool by me, there's no early entry on these fan club tickets yet (besides, doesn't o2 entry, still get in first anyway?) | |

I'm thinking about getting the train there, back, there and back again if I can get cheap fares. Will be a pain but might mean less time off work and money saved on hotels. |

| What are folks doing about accommodation for the Brixton gigs? I'm thinking of staying near to Euston (where I'll be getting the train to/from home) but hotels are very expensive. |

| I will be there! Incredibly, my mates and I were planning a trip to London this fall and the dates matched perfectly! I booked the tickets from the official Gaslight Anthem website, but I can't understand how the places work, can anyone help me? I booked two circle unreserved tickets (the only ones available), but does this mean that there are circle reserved tickets? Pardon my naivety Also, does anyone know if it's difficult to reach the venue from, let's say, Hyde Park? | |

| Thanks! So it's easily reachable by the tube? I read that there is not a specific station, which is never a good news for my abysmal sense of direction... However, maybe I didn't make myself clear enough, because I was referring to the places in the Brixton Accademy, not to the train ones | |

If you buy the daily pass you can jump on any tube trains ( London isnt that big ) to find your way around by underground train, I think also the daily ticket also covers you on buses but maybe someone who lives in London can comfirm that for you. And yes the o2 is just round the corner from Brixton tube, one little tip , maybe dont hang around in Brixton late at night, its not the nicest place in London, but dont worry as plenty of people will be heading for the tube stn after the gig. | |

| yeah a day travel card is valid on all forms of transport. make sure you get the right zones, Brixtons probably in zone 2 or 3 id say. just buy a 1-6 to be safe. dunno how much they are these days, think its about £8.50 for off peak. it was like £3 a day when i went to school, and im only 26! | |

| You want Brixton underground stop. Its the last stop on the Victoria line southbound (light blue). Can hop on at Euston, Oxford Circus, Green Park, Victoria etc.
If you're planning on spending a few days in London, I'd buy an Oyster card - a plastic card you can top-up in advance and swipe on to the underground network. It never costs more than buying a day pass either. |

| Not too much activity in this thread? Me and my brother are travelling from Norway to see our favorite band for the first time, can't wait! I was wondering if any of you guys could recommend some cool places to hang out before and after the show? Preferably a place that plays good music or a nice cool bar. | |
