Apologies for a slightly random first post...

I really want to go to Hyde Park and am eyeing tickets on Get Me In. I’ve seen The Cure three times before, usually with my brother (who loves them as much as I do), but he’s finally decided he can’t make this one.

I’m considering going on my own (none of my friends these days share our appreciation!), but wondered whether there’s anyone out there in the same boat who might want to meet up and hang out for a bit/the day.

Literally as simple as that! Happy to hear from anyone and share more info if required.

If you're after tickets keep an eye out in this thread. As for the meet ups, everyone is welcome. Some of us have already met before, but we're always up to meet new people, so don't worry.

Thanks for the welcome - much appreciated.

Sure, ohfuchsia...take your point. I don't want to be a PITA limpet, that's all. Would it be rude to ask if folks who do the meet-ups are mixed ages/similar age to the band? I've got no idea what their following is like these days, demographically! Not that it really matters - but I'd be more inclined to turn up at the meet-up if I'm not going to feel ancient

It's quite a broad range of age groups usually.
You'll be fine

And welcome to the forum.
	But I don't see And I don't feel But tightly hold up silently My hands before my fading eyes And in my eyes Your smile I mistook stars reflected in a pond at night for those in the sky.

Thanks Steve and lioness...you've convinced me to dig out my 'big girl pants' and come along for a fantastic day - assuming I can sort a ticket.

Despite the Ts&Cs saying all tickets are non-transferable, I'm guessing they're not personally named in any way - but would be great if someone could confirm?

Hi! My 3 e-tickets all have my name as 'original purchased by' printed on it

Thanks @milhaus...I managed to get a paper ticket in the end, which just has ‘Fanclub Presales’ on. And also thanks for the info about the meet-up.
