Me and a mate are travelling down from Peterborough and have noticed that the last train back is before the event finishes. Any idea if they're putting on extra trains for the event as I assume there are quite a few travelling by train?

This is for the Saturday.

Have you checked out the buses? There is the X1 bus which goes direct from Pbro to Norwich. The last bus is usually 11.20pm from norwich to Pbro, but they say they will be putting on more later buses, although they haven't announced how many or when yet.

It probably would've ended up cheaper.

I'm quite worried about getting to the bus station from the train station, 18 minute walk down loads of roads apparently :/

It's a doddle to walk from the train station to the bus station. You basically walk to the bridge over the river then walk up the hill past the castle on your right. Only about 10-15 minutes walk, you can't really get lost, and the friendly Norwich folk will tell you the way if your not sure. Nothing to get worried about at all

I've been following ticket sales on the Norwich Gumtree and it's interesting to see how the prices are changing. A week ago it was £250-350 a pair but I've just seen someone selling two Saturday tickets for £125. There's less Sunday tickets listed but they're now £200 a pair. Reckon the price will fall even more as the weekend approaches, which is good as no one wants to see people profiting from what is essentially a free event. I think Norwich getting to the play-off final will also be a factor. Some people may struggle to do both so might cash in their BW tickets to fund the trip to Wembley.

Would any Norwich resident do me the biggest favour ever? I am after 2 editions of this Thursday's Norwich Evening News.

Will pay for the papers, postage and a bit for yourself? Would be nice as a keepsake :)

I'll do that for you mate, I work for them! I'll get you a copy or two of the Eastern daily Press as well if you want. Why Thursday particularly out of interest? They also are likely to do photo specials the following week so I will save a copy if there anything interesting. It's going to be competing against the footie play off final though

Pm me so I don't forget though. And pm me your address to post them to, no need for any money

One bit of advice would be to arrive in plenty of time. Last year, gates were due to open at 12pm on the Saturday but actually opened about 11:15am and there were still long queues to get in when One Direction took the stage at 1pm. On Sunday, the gates were due to open at 12pm too but didn't open until after 12pm due to Katy Perry soundchecking (we basically listened to her soundcheck her entire set from outside including ET which wasn't performed that night) meaning the queues were even longer by the time Kings of Leon started at 1pm.

Started packing 4 days before the festival? Bloody hell I pack the night before for full holidays.

I'm staying at my friends from Friday for 5 days so needed to pack for that, I went to Disney in March and didn't pack until an hour before and it started stressing me out so I thought I'd get it done early :P Edited by Pothuthic
