Thanks PeteThanks Pete NYC Posts: 613
in The Porch
I have 10C GA tickets to Padova and Rome and would like to know if Milan is worth it? Did anyone go last year and so forth...?
I also might have an extra 10C GA ticket to Padova and Rome if anyone is looking

    Yeah but except i am 42 and not 17anymore...not for me anymore. I prefer calmer European places . Holland, Scandinavia,vienna.  I don't much like my home town london. Closest to an Italian crowd.

    I hear you. I'm almost your age, but I sometimes like to mix it up. So the Holland crowd is calmer than London and Italy crowds, by how much?

    The Polish are crazy as well in a good way. Only time I ever had to move back at any show was PJ in Poland. Getting crushed during the first 10 songs wasn’t a lot of fun. Moved back 5-10 people and it was much better.

    Can anyone admit to paying for the Milan VIP package in the past? Or know someone who did? If so, how was it or what have you heard?

    Ive done i think 5 or 6 holland ahows and all very calm and polite and spacious even at the front . Also Scandinavia i must say was the same. But london italy germany i found more like rough if you know what i mean. But all good. Im just old now haha. But I guess it always depends how you feel on that da sometimes you need a bit of rough. I mean i can't stand still to animal or hail hail. Thats is a task.

    I admit paying for it this year so I would love to hear what it was like in the past.  Given food and drink are free plus 30 Euro voucher for merch seemed like a steal to be in front of the stage.

    I think it's a great deal too....food, open bar, parking, toilets!!! etc., but I can't find any map or photos that show exactly where the VIP area is in the front of the stage. Anyway, the photos I've seen of the regular front are sad,  there is such a huge gap between the fans and the band.
