Meadowhall, Sheffield, UK

Is anyone else going to be there on the 28th?

 

[MacSiggy]

Looks like it'll be just you and me! Hopefully we'll be able to grab one.

I would have been had they allowed in store pick ups but alas, I'll be sat at home waiting for UPS.

 

[daleksec]

Will be sat at home waiting for the doorbell also i'm afraid.

 

[BigMovieGeek]

I'll be there too!

 

[EdReeves]

I'll be there, although I've never been to an apple product launch. Does anybody expect any queues at Meadowhall.

 

[lukefinch]

Not if this list is anything to go by!

I've got a 16gb WIFI coming via TNT on the 28th that my mum is kindly waiting for while i go to meadow hall with a friend to buy his.

I really dont think that there will be much of a queue, but if there is, just ask people if they're from macrumors and we can let eachother jump into the line

What time are you planning on getting there for? Meadowhall opens at 9:00am...

 

[EdReeves]

I'm gonna do my best to be at meadowhall for around 9am, I'm determined to get one on the day.

 

[MacSiggy]

I think I'll be there about 9am-ish. I'm trying to play it cool and not appear too keen, but in reality I want to start queuing now!

 

[BigMovieGeek]

Just called Apple up, the store is opening at 8am!

Sshhhh, let's keep this to ourselves

Thanks for that, looks like it'll be just before 8am for me then!

 

[EdReeves]

I don't understand what is going on with the opening time. Meadowhall itself doesn't usually open its doors till 9am, so will meadowhall open early just for apple at 8am?
If i'm wrong please correct me.

it looks like it;

Im getting my dad to drop my and my friend off after he finishes work at 6:30 am.

WE WILL BE THE FIRST IN LINE!!!


BTW - how old are you guys that are going?

 

[BigMovieGeek]

I'm 27... Full grown adult getting giddy like a 5 year old... So you know it's me, I'll be wearing a Futurama t-shirt, unless it's dirty, in which case I won't be.

 

[MacSiggy]

The doors used to open quite early near Marks and Spencer. I used to park near there and walk through to get the train.

I'm 34. WIll I be the oldest in the queue?

What's everyone getting, I'm guessing that there will be more of the 16GB than 64GB. I want 64GB WiFi but I'll settle for a 32GB on the day, if I can't get one.

I'm aiming for the 64GB WI-FI but will settle for the WI-FI + 3G, I have alot of digital copy films so I really could use the large disk space.

 

[EdReeves]

I'm going for the 64GB wifi too, I don't really wanna go for any other version. but in the excitement of it all i may get the 32GB if the 64 is out of stock.

I'm a 35 year old girl, think I'm going to the oldest queuing! I'm going to bluewater to get mine, just looking at the other treads to see what time people are queuing from.

 

[lukefinch]

It looks like my friend and I will be the youngest there, we're both 16.

We're planning on picking up one 16GB WIFI+3G

Thanks for the tip about M&S by the way, thats where we will be going!

 

[nickknight]

I think I will be the youngest there! I'm 17 and will be getting a 32GB 3G+Wifi iPad hopefully!

I just read the post above, damn! lol

 

[lukefinch]

Just to rub it in...

I got my Ipad 16G WIFI delivered by TNT today...

You are going to love yours!

See you tomorrow!

 

[BigMovieGeek]

Damn you lukefinch! lol Congrats.

I'm just hoping tomorrow will be fairly easy and not akin to the opening of Saving Private Ryan.

 

[nickknight]

Looks like I will now be coming alone since my friend bailed out on me...

Do you think me getting there for 7am is too late?

I've been thinking about that too. I really have no idea when is sensible to go. I called Meadowhall and the woman on the phone said that the Oasis entrance would be open at 7 for staff, so I guess it's a good time.

 

[Jowl]

Phew, 33 (although I lie and say 29) so not the oldest there.

I'll be the geek wearing my 'geek' t-shirt

My arrival time is a closely guarded secret (but I'll be up even before myu 4 month old )


Queuing up for a product I've pre-ordered but won't arrive in time is bad enough. Thinking about what I'll be wearing has driven me to the edge
