AVE - train from city centre to city centre or long distance bus (bit cheaper but twice the time)
KISS? OMG, is he still around?

If you don't want them to stay overnight I can't see how you're going to do it. :juggle:The Ave timetable isnt any good. The concert starts at 9pm which is ok, but finishes at midnight and the last Ave is at just after 9pm apparently - also its 140€ return!! We've worked out that it would be cheaper for them to fly to Gatwick and get the Gatwick Express to Wembly and watch "Kiss" there!!!!!!!!

yes LOL!!!!!!!If you don't want them to stay overnight I can't see how you're going to do it. :juggle:
You can be 98% sure too, that the concert won't start at 9:00 and that it'll finish late.
I just poured cold water over that one, didn't I??
I've just realised you said 15. My daughter is 15 !!!! She can't go to a Kiss concert on her own and take the bus and metro across Madrid in the wee hours!!!yes LOL!!!!!!!
TBH and dont tell my son, but I'm not keen on them doing this, but I guess I have to let him grow up, so I've said that if I can find a safe way of them doing this then they can!. But if its not practical or safe then I'll talk him out of it.

Am I allowed to use the "F" word on here????Go with them. Kiss is about your generation!

As I've said I'm not keen!!! He came bursting in from school yesterday "telling" me it was all sorted and they were doing it and I couldnt stop them (in that "I know eveything" teenager way!!)!! But at 15 one has to use a certain amount of psychology!! To say "no, you're too young" would make him rebel and we'd have had alsorts of arguments, so I'm going down the "well lets see if its plausable" route, which will also teach him how to plan trips sensibly and show him the pitfalls without having to fight or knock his faltering steps towards independance!??????I've just realised you said 15.

But I'm a scaredy cat mum
OK ok you have to let them grow up - but not now, please!!

We've settled on the going to Wembley, UK idea for now, we're looking at the costs and seeing if it can be done safely and actually I think its only gonna be the plane trip where they'll be on their own - thats if it happens at all ??!! LOL
Bloody teenagers LOL

why do they always have to think that just because they have decided that it's going to happen - that it isAs I've said I'm not keen!!!

The tickets are cheaper because everyting is still based on 1 pound = 1,50/60 eurosIts official, It is cheaper for them to fly to Gatwick and go to Wembley. Tickets at Wembley are 47 pounds as opposed to 71€ in Madrid and the flights are 40€ return on easyjet as opposed to Ave 140€ return!!!! My older daughter could meet them at the airport, go with them (she likes Kiss) and see them back to the plane.
Sorted - I think??!?
