Thanks everyone!

Hey guys,

As most of you have noticed, we've recently had a couple of spikes in forum activity. It was a bit of a roller coaster for everyone.

During these spikes, Toby and I have messaged every single new member that signed up. Firstly because we want to help new members make their first post, secondly because we want to get as much feedback as possible.

Whenever we received feedback, it was almost always incredibly postive. The feedback mostly centered around the very friendly and welcoming tone of the community. If you've followed it, you would've also seen this in the iPhone 5 threads, where many new posters literally said that they made their first post because of the helpfulness here. 

I found that an amazing thing and I want to say thanks for that. It's you guys who give new people the feeling that they can ask any type of question and it's you guys who make this such a great community to be part of. Thanks for that.

Today, I've managed to get my hands on six pairs of O2 Academy tickets. So, just to do something back, I'd like to give three pairs of tickets away at the end of November and three pairs at the end of December. The tickets will allow you and a friend to get on the guest list of your favorite show at your local O2 Academy, if availabilty allows it. The 'winners' will be decided based on a combination of community contributions. 

So, thanks again and let's keep this an awesome place to stay part of

Cheers,

Leonard

This was the view from the front of the o2 Piroity queue got there 15 mins before doors opend about 10th in line yet at least 500 in the non o2 queue.

I had previously collected the tickets from the box office just a small bit of paper stating free admission.

So as we were one of the first in we scoped out a good viewing position chose the 1st floor balcony on the right of the stage and set up protecting the space (all standing)

I went and got some merchandise (and bagged a free o2 acadmey tote with piroity moments) returned to let my mate go to the bar (£9 ish for a pint of coke mine and a larger)

The venue filled up and the gig started (sorry for poor pics no flash used and lots of fog)

The band played 2 sets totalling just over 2 hours.

At the end of the gig a special double cd was available of that nights concert (which I purchased.)

Thanks o2 for a great night out. Only thing I did not have was the 2 for 1 hot dogs from Priorty Moments in the venue.

For anybody goin to O2Acadmey Bournmouth use the free Hawkwood road carparks as they are free after 6pm and remember to get in the o2 piroity queue and see what offers are available on pm app when you arrive at the venue.

Great to hear you've enjoyed it, Adam! I'm very happy about that. Did you see them before? What did you think about the concert itself?

@Leonard

Not seen them live before but they wre fantastic live full of energy on the stage.

Only complaint was the vocals were not that clear during the gig but as they were recording audiance participation on the cd the vocals are clearer.

Again Thanks for a great night out!
