Hi y'all. Anyone going to the last night and staying at the Holiday Inn express by the dome please get in touch. Party at the Inn planned?

I'm heading up to the final show on 21st September on my own and crashing at the Holiday Inn Express...stayed there on Saturday, its spitting distance from the arena but a bit pricey. Are you going to the Aftershow to??

DaveT said:

Yes Dave i've got tickets for the aftershow. How did you book your room as if you book it the right way on the Holiday Inn website its only £59 with breakky

Weaverstreet said:

Dave go onto the Hliday Inn website, home page click on leisure breaks, find the hotel on the planner. You will see the room rate is £59. If you get it cheaper you can get me a beer mate. )))
Hmmm...this interesting!! I did it over the phone the same way I did on Saturday just gone, and it cost £189...no single room rate!! I did think this a bit steep, but I'm a bit lazy when it comes to accomodation. And with the hotel being so close its ideal to walk to after the concert for a quick freshen up before the Aftershow. We walked back in 15 mins, and by the time we got back to the Indigo (12:30) the queue had disappeared.

If you find out about this cheaper rate though, let me know...I'll be dropping Mr Holiday Inn a line then to find out why the hell I'm paying through the nose!

Me & Mr Col will be there..after the aftershow

Yes - me and daf1999 too

c u there 4 purple party at the Inn.

Weaverstreet said:

Whats the plan for the party at the Inn then?? Will it be a meet in the bar before the show (I warn you now, the bar prices there are hefty!!) or after the show??

DaveT said:

Theres time to organise, guess drinks before and after will be good. Hey why not bring a bottle lol.

Oh, by the way...if anyone needs somewhere to crash for the night on the 21st September they don't do single room rate at the Holiday Inn so I have a double all booked and I'm heading to the show on my own....I get the bed though and you get the sofa! lol

Only Sheila E look-a-likes need to apply! haha

col said:

Kool col, me and mrs weaverstreet will be there too. We are just down the road from you near to Knutsford, how kool.

DaveT said:

DaveT u on the pull u old dog u.

Yes, 3 of us will be there VIP that night. Going to the Aftershow as well, so a party to start with will be brilliant. See you all there!

Clare said:

As I mentioned earlier though, if we're all gonna be in the hotel bar, bring plenty of loot...if I recall a vodka and mixer was about £8...mind you, that was for a 50ml shot of vodka which is effectively a double.

Thanks Weaverstreet, that really worked!! just cancelled my reservation for the other hotel and now I've got a better hotel and a better price!

Happy to help, does this mean u owe me a cold beer lol.

DaveT said:

Are there any nearby bars we could decamp to which may be more reasonable? Or somewhere on route to the O2?

Could you give me some pointers of where to look on the Holiday Inn webiste....£59 for a room sounds alot better than the £189 I'm currently paying!! I presume this is at the Holiday Inn Express just down from the arena as well??? I've clicked on the "Leisure Breaks" box but can't seem to get much further.

Clare said:

The area leading to the arena from the hotel has a lovely park to walk through...about halfway through the park is a little row of old houses and onthe end is a traditional looking pub called The Pilot Inn. We stopped there for a drink on the way and it was much more reasonably priced and was great sitting out in the sun! Could be a better venue for a drink before the show.
