i'm torn between Metro Centre and Eldon Square.
Sounds like previously doors to Eldon Square have opened at 6am with a queue forming outside overnight which is madness. Anyone queued previously?
The store is due to open at 8.

So Eldon sq store is opening at 8am?
What have queues been like previous years? Thinking of getting there between 7-8 but need to be at work for 9am in Gosforth

I have been to a launch at Eldon Sq. Think it was for iPhone4. I arrived before 8 and was surprised to see the mall open and the queue outside the apple store was massive! Now that I think about it, the mall opens pretty early for Eldon Leisure which opens at 7.30 I think. Not sure where the queue would form outside before the mall doors are unlocked.
Best entrance to use is the one next to Debenhams opposite The Gate. It's the way I've always gone in to join the iPhone launch queues. They'll either be queueing up the stairs there or have the barriers setup outside the Apple store.
I thought 7am was early enough for an iPhone 4 a couple of years ago but I was still almost 150 back from the front. No idea what it's like for iPad's though I'm afraid.

Mega Tesco at Kingston Park might be a good option. They are selling them at 00:01.
