The day you huddled in the freezing 2010 cold to get tickets for Take That's 2011 Sunderland gig

Camp chairs, tents and a burger van as you waited in the cold

It was the greatest day when Take That came to Sunderland in 2011 but we wonder if you remember these cool scenes from 2010.

That was when you queued outside the Stadium of Light to get your hands on those precious tickets. It might have been the middle of winter but there were plenty of smiling faces when the Sunderland Echo photographer arrived.

The pictures that were taken show fans wrapped up against the cold, some with coffee, some with camping chairs and there was even a makeshift village of tents.

There was a burger van for sustenance and plenty of other people to keep you company. We would love your memories of the atmosphere back then and your recollections of how long you waited in the queues.

Were you at Take That's last Sunderland gig in 2011? If so, share your pictures and memories. We can’t wait to hear from you!
