Chucklez 315 Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 My wife was saving up for these for me as a birthday gift (my b-day is in mid September) ever since they announced it. They were not cheap so I know what you mean, definitely wouldn't have been able to afford them otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be ok with paying it, it's a once in a lifetime thing almost, but people I'm going with aren't as harcore NFL fans so don't want to pay for the club seats.. waiting nervously for Thursday...

OffensivelyPC 1,111 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Hope you got a good camera. I'd love to see pictures from a fan. I have no idea how and where to load that stuff up to, but I'm sure Nadine can help out in that department. If nothing else, you can upload to your profile I guess. Anyhow, enjoy it, friend.

I've got a GoPro so I'll probably take that and get some cool shots. I could just re-save the files as low res .jpgs and post them in a titled thread after the game? Link to post Share on other sites

(I believe that is 5am eastern time in the US). I think the cheapest tickets will be about £40, right up in the heavens, but Wembley is a good stadium and it would still be great. £40 currently equates to about $57 ish... By the time you pay for the postage and handling fees etc you are probably looking at about $65. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah a few times, once for the Olympics to watch Mexico vs Senegal in 2012 and another time to see an England friendly. It's a good stadium. Most seats will offer a good view of the field, even if you are a tad high up. Link to post Share on other sites
Smonroe 2,272 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I'm glad you guys get to see the Colts, but personally, I hate that they're playing overseas. I think this means I have to watch the game on the internet, right? At least it's not a home game. Sorry to be a downer in your happy thread, but I'm against expansion. IMO, it's the NFL's version of the golden goose. Link to post Share on other sites

IMO, it's the NFL's version of the golden goose. I actually kind of agree that a London based team is a bad idea for the NFL.... Imagine flying from San Fran or LA to London or vice-versa to play a single game, then fly all the way back to play at home or in Seattle? For any of you that dont know, London to Denver is a 10 to 10 and a half hour flight.... San Fran and LA are at least another 2 - 2 and a half hours from Denver. So you're talking about a 13 hour flight... Long way. English soccer teams are known to do this if they are playing an eastern Russian team in a european cup game, but this happens once or maybe maximum twice in a whole year.... Not potentially every other week during the season. Link to post Share on other sites

This will be my 3rd trip too, once for the aforementioned Jags/49ers and I also saw Preston in the play off final last year. I like it very much as a stadium, as much as it got bad press it's a very impressive facility. Link to post Share on other sites
Nadine 6,425 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 my daughters boss just bought the whole office tickets to this game. They'll be there for a trade show.

Bunch of engineers (except for my daughter), it's some kind of an annual European Microwave show or something. Last year it was in Paris. I do envy her the places she gets to go. Her boss is so nice to her. She's lucky for sure. She was already excited to go to London because she spent a semester there when she was in college and loves the city. Seeing things from the 'other side' now. No mice infested flat for her this time Link to post Share on other sites
ColtRider 22 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Congrats to all who'll be there to attend the game. Yes, please take some great pics of you guys if you can & upload. Nothing better than enjoying a Colts game with fans of our own ilk & seeing those pics on the forum. Enjoy the game & yourselves, compadres! Link to post Share on other sites

Then my wife and kids said they'd be going too. So, that's out. At least I don't have to paint the house. Link to post Share on other sites

SteelCityColt 4,466 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 3 Tickets secured, up in the gods but at least it's at the halfway line. For anyone going that's not from London and coming from North of London I highly recommend parking near Stanmore Tube and getting there that way. Plenty of side streets within walking distance that are free to park on. Link to post Share on other sites
CroatianColtsFan21 1 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I just bought mines too! Section 506, way up, just the way i wanted!

And shopping in london with my girl? Bacruptcy here we come! Wooohooo! Link to post Share on other sites
Chucklez 315 Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Glad you guys got your tickets Seriously though we should organise a few Colts Forum members drinks or something before the game. We can do all that a bit closer to the date but it would be cool to all meet up, especially with anyone making the trip across the pond too. Link to post Share on other sites
UKColtfanHS 3 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Almost completely forgot about buying tickets this morning Thankfully my friend sent me a text and after a quick run to a computer at Uni I'm going to wembley!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
