James Lawrence, from Guildford, arrived around 8pm last night. He said: "The only way to get tickets is to queue. It's too hard to get them online or by phoning up."

He added: "There were only four or five tents here when arrived last night and now there are loads."

His party are camping instyle with a generator, sofa, xbox 360 and a poker table.

First in line Ayesha Obi, from Lewisham, pitched her tent at 7.30pm last night.

She said: "I wanted to be here to make sure I get the best tickets I can possibly get. I have never seen him play live before"

The 19-year-old was in the second row for the King of Pop's tour announcement last Thursday.

She said: "I was just so happy to see him. I queued from about 10am. He is always worth it."
