It's my day tomorrow.
Do I really need to queue from 6am or can I turn up at 10-11am after the initial bulk of people has reduced?
What time have those of you who've already bought turned up?

Bases on previous days, if you turn up at around 10.30 ish you will probably queue for around 2 hours. If you turn up after 2pm you will probably get through in about 20 minutes.
To be honest, I am beginning to think it doesn't matter when you arrive as it is just pot luck as to what the person in the window you go to has got in their specific pile and as to whether they can be arsed making an effort to hunt around amongst other sellers to get you what you want.

Same plan for me. Phone until about 3pm then drive down. Out of interest I rang today at about 12.30 and got straight through. There will be thousands of tickets left at this stage it's just a pain in the arse and a stress trying to obtain a slot to part with either £40 or £50 depending on how you purchase.
