Did anyone find out what the VIP bar ticket gets you? I’m guessing it is literally just access to a bar and better toilets?
For any chance of getting the magic circle wrist bands does anyone have any recommendations as to what time to get there (think Knebworth opens at 11), presuming there is going to be a lot of people there early!

I'm flicking between being quite concerned about how I'm gonna get back to London to thinking 'sod it' and just not caring like everybody else seems to.

The travel for this is an actual nightmare and im calling it now - the fall out from after the gig will make national news. I'm guessing thousands are going to be stranded and without a viable route home. Imagine what that will cause even for people on coaches. They'll be people trying to get on their coaches without tickets, they'll be a massive crowd around all the vehicles. Just a joke.
Without stereotyping too much, Oasis/Liam fans aren't exactly known for their good behaviour.
If this wasn't Knebworth and just another venue i'd 100% have sold my tickets by now. I'm just hoping im wrong about my prediction.

That's why I sold my tickets, the gig will be immense, but the aftermath is going to be a fucking absolute nightmare.
I've slept rough after a few gigs and let me tell you, it's not nice when the booze starts wearing off

Just because of that I put my tickets for sale and it's a painful experience 😒

In abit of a situation here , anyone else get their car park pass through the post? Saw a few on Twitter getting them although I thought it was all digital tickets , if they use the address when I bought tickets I lived at a different address that I don’t have access to now , Ticketmaster have told me that after looking the car park ticket is digital and will be in my account 5 days before so no idea what’s going off 🤷♂️

Hi all! Me and my girl are heading to the show from Canada!!! Before a week in Greece. Needless to say … IM PUMPED! The only part of our trip not confirmed is how to get back to Luton (where we are staying for the night after the show) post gig. Because we are not from the area i’m not even sure where to begin… Will Ubers be functioning or taxis? How close is the nearest town to Knebworth Park? Is there a Knebworth town? Any suggestions would be super helpful!!! Thanks all.

As I didn't manage to sell the ticket yet, I'm thinking if I should give Knebworth a try in the end. Maybe that transportation won't be as bad as everyone is afraid of.

I messaged knebworth house who have advised against the train due to limited service and advised against taxis. Hhhmmmm not sure what that leaves really So I called up national rail. Stevenage station is running as normal. However, no trains at all to or from Knebworth station. Stevenage about a 40-55 min walk

I'm just hoping im wrong about my prediction. It's absolutely shocking tbh And in all honestly, the fact that it's Knebworth - and not just 'some other venue' - is what's made it worse. I've said it before, but there is absolutely no need for this gig to be held at Knebworth. It's not breaking any records, it's not doing anything, and the venue isn't great anyway.

Got a more promising update from Thameslink today. Thank you for getting in touch with us and I hope my email finds you well. I’m pleased to confirm Knebworth station will be fully operational for the duration of the Liam Gallagher events and throughout the Jubilee weekend. Knebworth station will be running to the usual timetable but we’re advising any customers to check their journeys before travelling. Please be aware due to the distance between the venue and the station there may not be enough time to make the last scheduled service. Knebworth station has limited connections via the local bus network and there’s no taxi rank or local taxi service in the village so waiting times can be 30+ mins as standard. Due this we’re advising for attendees of the Liam Gallagher concert to travel via Stevenage for both their inbound and outbound journeys on both days. This has been in line with previous major events at Knebworth House such as Sonisphere. Thanks again for getting in touch, and I hope this helps to answer any questions may have. Kind regards Tina Customer Relations Advisor Thanks mate. Then why the hell is the venue saying something else?

Any suggestions would be super helpful!!! Thanks all. Okay mate your best bet is going to be a train or try and book on one of the coaches (Big Green Coach Company) because there's no way you'll be getting a taxi or uber. Knebworth is a village north of London and the nearest town is Stevenage. There'll be 100k people trying to get back. I'd check the Big Green Coach Company site or look at trains from Stevenage to Luton, which is about a 45-50 min walk apparently. Go on trainline.co.uk for times etc tomlivesforever lives local and may be able to help more

Trains from Stevenage only go towards London or Peterborough, and the Big Green Coach isn't going to Luton.

It's ridiculous that we are less than a week away and there is no definitive answer to the travel question. Can only hope there are trains running back on the Friday to London and people can let everyone know if it will be ok for Saturday.If not looks like it'll be a night in Camden instead for me.

Basically, Knebworth station will be rammed so they’re trying to put people off. If you want to go from there, miss the last song and run! Shame really. However that sums up the UK. A no can do attitude
