Unless I am much mistaken the Trafford Centre (this thread) and the Arndale (the other) are not the same stores...

Haha,

just a mistake

iPad-Lover · Mar 13, 2012, 12:45 PM

Anyone know the time that it will be open, on the front page it says 8:00am -on macrumors- but the Trafford Centre store opens at 10:00am plus the way apple is they don't like releasing things that other time zones are ahead do they? If you get what I mean. Anyone called up yet, love to see there response.

rhino7 · Mar 13, 2012, 01:53 PM

I called them at 17:30 today and they gave the standard answer that they don't know what time they're opening yet

vito · Mar 14, 2012, 07:03 AM

What entrance does everyone queue at, there's so many at TC!

iPad-Lover · Mar 14, 2012, 01:53 PM

It's at 8:00am just found a link from macrumor's homepage, yes it's for the UK too.
Vito, im pretty sure the Trafford Centre is always open but the actual stores are not, if this isnt true it would definatley be open for the people queing, im thinking of getting there at 6:00, anyone else similiar time's?

rhino7 · Mar 14, 2012, 03:33 PM

That sounds like a semi-reasonable time! I was thinking 6.30 or thereabouts.

robin1989 · Mar 14, 2012, 03:40 PM

do you think they will sell out on friday - im hoping to grab one saturday morning if i can as train only gets into manchester 11pm friday

russelljtaylor · Mar 15, 2012, 08:54 AM

I'm planning to be there about 6am too. Hoping the line isn't to long by then. Has anyone got any good recommendations for screen protectors and/or cases?

iPad-Lover · Mar 15, 2012, 12:09 PM

Does anybody know if Apple would let me que up? I'm 14 and I wanted to know if they would let me. I was going to get up, take the bus to the Trafford Centre, hopefully be in line with one of you guy's I could trust to hold my place if I went to get food or what-not and then call my dad to meet me when I am like 30mins away from purchasing.

Don't worry I am not one of them spoilt children that get anything they truly want, I know it sounds like that but I have saved my money fairly, I am giving my dad the cash for it.

Hope I could meet one of you guy's because your all nice fellows, can't wait for tommorow! Woo!

iPad-Lover · Mar 15, 2012, 04:03 PM

Could anyone help me with this ^?

Sure, they'll let you queue - start chatting t the people around you, they'll hold your place or let an Apple staff member know.

----------

I'll be getting there for 5am, anyone who gets there first can they update this thread to let us know what the queue is like please

Thanks!!

UncleSimit · Mar 15, 2012, 09:37 PM

Having gone to Tesco only to find a bunch of 32 and 16GB it's off to TC I go in a few hours.

Hoping the queue isn't too bad. Even tempted to order from John Lewis and collect on Saturday.
