Just a bit of advice though...that tent has no waterproof rating and, if BOA is anything like last year, you WILL regret it. Take this one instead... http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002HHXVFU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=ABTGQ0BCKDWQ4 Only £2 more and a high waterproof rating + dual layers. Take a couple of minutes more to put up but at least you won't risk sleeping in a swimming pool! Talking from experience here. ;)

Hey man, yeah, that's no probs. :) Don't send it to my flat though as I'm never in when the post arrives. I'll get my sister's address and see if she's ok with sending it to her place, if not my mum's will do. I'll pick it up when i pick up my BOA ticket. Let you know the address as soon as poss.

They're usually quite quick with immigration at Liverpool but yeah, discuss it nearer the time. Only take me about an hour to get there so you wouldn't be waiting too long even if I only left as you got through passport control. :)

Aye, its no problem. Will definitely be able to pick you up form the airport, just let me know the time you land. May not be able to get you back there though (depends if I'm travelling to my mate's place in York on the monday) but obviously I can drive you back to my place and from there its very easy to get to Liverpool...and it only costs £10.40 on the train. Petrol split sounds cool too. Save us both a bit of cash!

No probs man! Pleasure to help! Right, first off travelling from Liverpool to Lichfield should be no problem. You can get a shuttle bus from the airport to Liverpool South Parkway station (doesn't cost much) and from there you can get a train to Lichfield... although you may have to change once or twice. Not complicated though! The other way is you could get a train direct to Manchester and stay over at mine and I'll drive us to BOA on the Thursday. Might even be able to pick you up from the airport. Budget wise...well, this year I'm not taking as much thanks to moving flat and car tax payments but it all depends on how much you enjoy spending on merch! You can generally count on tshirts being £20 with hoodies £35-40. A programme with band times is a fiver. Drinks...if I recall correctly it was roughly £3.70 per pint for beer last year. Food varies but you're looking in the range of £3.50-£5.00 for burgers, noodles, sandwiches etc.

I haven't bought a ticket or tent myself yet so you're not alone! LOL. Congratulations on the grades! You finished for the year now? Yeah I moved back in January and am having to move again. Right pain in the arse! Iced Earth are fantastic live! Such a shame that Barlow is retiring though. They're playing a couple of dates over here in November. :) Brandon Sanderson/ The guy who is completing the Wheel of Time series? Cool! Nice to see what you look like finally! haha!
