Oh the jealousy is building up...

What is up with Square's sudden hardon for England?

What is up with Square's sudden hardon for England?

I quite like the hard-on actually. I'm from England, and I'd absolutely LOVE to go to my very first concert/music thing, and it to be Final Fantasy related!

Not to mention, it's only a few days before my birthday! Of course, I'm far too poor to go to it, but, I can dream, at least.

[Minami]

This is sooo tempting for me but i probably won't go as i'd have to pay for hotel/travel on top of the ticket cost. Live too far north of London to go for the day

[Shauna]

:colbert: Stupid London.

Don't get me started on costs.

- £50 straight up for the ticket.
- IF I'm staying over, cost of the hotel. Might be able to catch a late train back, but maybe not.
- Oh yeah, train as well. They don't come cheap.
- Cost of food etc.
- Any other random costs I can think of.

Not to mention, I wouldn't go by myself, so I'd have to find someone who is willing to go to a Final Fantasy concert with me, and pay all the above prices.

Eh. It'd be such a perfect birthday too.

There are plenty of hostels in London that are fine for overnight stays.

B-but -sniff- I'm on the other side of the pond! -cries and bes jelly-

This is very true.

If you plan well, you can get to and from London not-too-expensively. It's £10-15 for a coach ride from Glasgow to London, I'm sure if you forgo the train as your "main" transport you might be able to find something a bit cheaper. :3 Get a reasonable hostel for the overnight. Don't buy any food while you're there - make your own and take it with you.

This'll leave the most expensive thing as the ticket to the show. Which will always be the case.

When I saw this in my email box I jumped for joy, so planning on going! Best of all, I live loacally enough that London is only a short train trip away so no overnight stay for me!

My only concern is funding, I really cant afford to buy a ticket till I get paid and that's in 4 weeks time.

[Fynn]

Hope they release a CD too like they did with Distand Worlds. That was one of my favorite FF albums.

[Formalhaut]

Haha, it sold out in minutes anyway.

[Shauna]

Seriously. xD Matt and I were hoping to go but we were gonna discuss it this evening. OH WELL.

[AssassinDX]

Heh, I had the same problem when I wanted to go to see Final Symphony last May at the Barbican, the 'cheap seats' at £50 sold out in minutes and even the expensive ones were gone in less than an hour. I'm now aiming to take my girlfriend to Paris for their performance in March for her birthday, but I get the feeling it'll sell out before I'm even aware of the tickets being on sale.

Still, Square's hardon for London is all good with me, I live 70 miles away.

[LadyJuxtaposition]

If they're having the same concert at the USA, then I am buying tickets to go see it! :)

[Psychotic]

As soon as I saw the news I was excited but yeah, like the rest of you by the time I was able to check the site yesterday it was sold out. I might take a quick peek at eBay...

[Loony BoB]

Bawwwwwwwwww, I wish I saw this earlier, would have made for a great mutual Valentines gift. Genuinely gutted! :( Would have totally gone for the £100 tickets.

[Carl the Llama]

Sold out already? God Damnit!

[I Don't Need A Name]

Looks like I'm the only one who got tickets then :monster:

[Formalhaut]

I know, I checked on the day, but alas, I was too late. Grrrrrrrrrrrr! I would have loved that for my birthday/Valentines. Never been to a FF concert as well. I was very excited! :crying2:

[Psychotic]

Looks like I'm the only one who got tickets then :monster:On an unrelated note, would you mind posting your address and the times that you are out of the house? I need them to give you a... Christmas surprise :shifty:
