    I went to Pearl Jam in Milton Keynes last summer. There will be loads of trains back to London afterwards although you will have to queue. We had to wait about an hour so not too bad......

    When i went to see the Foo's last time in Milton Keynes we got a shuttle bus organised by see tickets (similar to the Marathon coaches over here) , and worked out great and handy

    We have booked with Ticketmaster.

    We have booked a hotel near Euston Station, we couldnt get anywhere in MK, so the plan is to get a train to and from MK.

    Not sure why anyone would want to stay in MK itself...

    Well the train/bus only takes an hour and you´d have more craic in London afterwards anyway. Head up to MK early on the day itself. There´s usually good craic going on in the park beside the bowl.

    Luton airport is by far the easiest from MK if it's only the gig you're bothered about, only about half an hour on a bus.

    Otherwise I'd definitely recommend going back into London, not a lot of fun to be had in MK I can assure you.

    We booked a place in London, into Gatwick the day before the gig, and home the day after it.

    Just found out tonight that I'm going to the Saturday gig. We are staying in Luton. Had a quick Google there. Anyone got any idea about getting to Milton Keynes and back to Luton?

    Does anyone know of any place in Milton Keynes near the main train station that might show the Mayo Dublin match tomorrow?

    Or somewhere that has many TVs that might put sky Sports on for me!

    Thanks

    It's probably going to be on sky sports so you should have a chance of finding somewhere.
