From FJ:
We did it! Just over 3 weeks ago I returned from our Latin American tour, having to undergo surgery to remove my breast cancer. And last night I stood on the stage again, in front of you and with my brothers. ! 
What an unbelievable feeling! Thank you all once again, really. Tonight, a sold-out London Wembley Arena!!!
There are still some tickets left - just looking at logistics of getting there!
I will go by Train from Rugby to Birmingham International, then walk thru to the NEC Arena.
Simples… 
I’ve never been to the arena before - trying to decide whether to stand or sit currently!
Have booked an hotel, likely to drive.
I have a seat…! Not standing unless I have to… 
When you’re not familiar with the venue it’s tricky to visualise the seating plans mentally. Just need to book I guess and get on the road.
I wonder if ear plugs are advisable!
Google is your friend, as with most things…
(You did try that, surely…?)
I should be in Block 4, Row P, Seat 85. So, Empu & Troy’s side…!!
Yes, thanks, I eventually found a detailed row/seat map.
Believe it or not Block 4 was the one I was looking at online - I had M95 earlier but that timed out as did several other options, and I then ended up in a booking queue online - eventually found a telephone number and they’ve booked me in P95!
In Block 4 - 
So, I am in the same row, in P85…!!
Waiting for a taxi, I hope I can get my ticket!

Arrived!
Quick glass of red and a piece of fish!
Prices are pretty reasonable here surprisingly.
That was utterly stunning.
I hope there’s an official recording as I thought It was the best I’ve heard Floor sing in recent years.
Apologies for not saying hello primarily as I didn’t want you to think I was ‘stalking you’ 
but also as I decided to ‘investigate’ the standing area after a call of nature!
I think it’s also worth mentioning how utterly polite and professional local staff have been - I’m truly impressed.
This includes telephone ticket salespeople, hotel staff, taxi drivers, venue staff of all kinds as well as security staff telling me where I could get the nearest post concert pint!
They’ve all done Birmingham/the region proud and I’m a little disappointed I never dragged the rest of the family along!
Just got home, via the Train. Someone organised a train of the right sort, to arrive just as I (and others) reached the platform… 
As @Alley_Cat said. Flawless. And brilliant. Floor wasn’t bad either…
Just like on YouTube… Which maybe is a problem, these days…? There is less of a surprise (than years ago) - you know whats coming - and how the numbers sound ‘live’. Which is at least in part due to the use of ProTools, in a live situation.
But - the band did definitely seem to be enjoying themselves, based on the screens (there was one each side of the stage).
I conclude, by saying just one more thing.
Tuomas Holopainen is a genius - for writing all of Nightwish’s music & words.
PS. @Alley_Cat - Did you not expect Midlanders to be polite & professional…?
We do it all the time… 
I had no expectations whatsoever I was simply impressed 
We do try… I am from Coventry, but now live in Rugby.
Staying in Balsall Common. Imbibing a cider or two in the arena bar currently 
Probably about to be kicked out.
Ah yes… thats one of the posh bits… not far from Solihull.
Premier Inn - or somewhere more upmarket…?
I just have a nice cup of tea, here…
PS. Sleeping Sun was a surprise inclusion. Its a very old track, from the early part of the Tarja era.
But worked just fine.
My wife was staying overnight at daughter #2 in SE London, and so they went by train & tube to Wembley. Sound not the best, and seats too small, but good pyrotechnics and an impromptu Karaoke session on the Jubilee line train on the way back!
