So I found a site called lastminute.com
They have last minute flights for VERY cheap. The drawbacks is you can't get flight information for dates other than the month you are in or dates close to it. So this month, they only have dates for March I believe. And also there may be long layovers if you have to get two planes to get to London etc. It actually helps if you leave from a large city like in the U.S if you leave from LA, Vegas, NY, etc. instead of a smaller lesser known city.
For example for me I live in Fresno, Ca. I quoted prices of about 1500+ dollars per ticket per person (flight & hotel) at sites like yahoo, travelocity, orbitz etc. And there's two of us. But if I drove to LA (3hr drive) and parked in the overnight parking at the Airport, left from LA to London(Heathrow Airport) it significantly cut down the price. I quoted a 3 day example this month for about 1300 (flight & Hotel) for TWO people (at lastminute.com).
This can be good for people who may be able to go last minute and need better rates quick. Or if they're not sure. Just depends. I know people like to book ahead of time. And then there could be the issue of the fact that it's summer time(at least on the northern hemisphere of the planet lol) and flights may be more because more people vacation during that time. But also you can weight the factors that fuel is a bit cheaper now, we're in a ressesion and airlines are looking for customers. There may be more deals around then. Who knows. But this is just an idea. Thought I'd help.
I think it would be a great idea for MJEOLers to get together and meet. That would be really cool. Maybe we can keep that in mind and then the closer we get to the dates we can find out if people are going for sure etc etc.
Also another thing I'd like to ask, is this presale for UK customers only? On twitter people are saying that on the MJJNews on twitter I'm signed up to. That kinda sucks. But I can see how they'd do that though because there's already so many people to be expected to sign up it would be hard. I hear some people have gotten they're pin's already, but I don't know where they are located at though.
If my mom and I are going to see MJ in London, I have some questions about the transporation part.
Our most likely plan is we're going to the Heathrow Airport (or it could be Gatwick, or Stansted..just depends on which flight we choose), how can we get to the O2? I know that each airport is about an hour away from the venue. I'm actually scared of driving there so I don't think we're going to be doing that lol (being from the U.S we drive on the right side of the road, and on the left side of the car). I hear there is a train that goes there? What kinds of transportation do they have that will run all night? Because most likely it's going to be hell getting out of the venue and it's going to be late and I don't want to be running after no buses or trains then LOL.
