    As for exchanging currency, from experience, banks or airports there's not a big difference. If you don't wanna carry large amounts of cash I'd suggest getting a Visa debit card - used mine for most things when I was in Wisconsin/Chicago ;) ....or have some cash for the journey to Europe and then make withdrawals when you're over here.

    Also this is an article I found (originally in Norwegian, Google translated into English) on travelling to and from Copenhagen, Stockholm & Oslo...there's everything: flights, trains and busses - travel times and prices. Scroll down to the handy table.
    NOTE: prices are in Norwegian kroners (NOK) and from 2009

    if I keep holding out,.... will the light shine through?

    I was just going to post : I usually just use my visa ! There are fees, but it's way more convenient than carrying cash around and finding the cheapest rate to exchange it. Especially when going from one country to the next in such a short time window, as we will.

    Draw cash from an ATM ?! Like, at the airport ? That's what I usually do.

    I realized not everybody wants to travel by plane so I gathered some information about the trains in Sweden/Norway/Denmark:

    If you wan't to go from Stockholm to Oslo you need to take the train from Stockholm to Gothenburg (Göteborg C)
    (with swedish SJ) and the change train to Oslo (with norwegian NSB).

    From Oslo to Copenhagen (Köbenhavn H) you also change train in Gothenburg. Oslo - Gothenburg with NSB and Gothenburg - Copenhagen with SJ.

    http://www.sj.se/start/startpage/index.form?l=en
    http://www.nsb.no/?lang=en_US

    There are other ways if you search timetables but these are the major cities and you don't have to change train a dozen of times in the middle of nowhere...

    Have no idea about the costs but if you book early it's usually really cheap...

    Train tickets are ridiculously expensive in Scandinavia. Usually much cheaper to go by plane.
    I blame the government! Well, I blame the government (the old one, that is) for almost everything really - Even the weather. And I can provide argumentation if needed, but it very rarely is :lol:

    You can get a trainticket from Stockholm to Copenhagen for approx 200-300 SEK (21-31€) if you book early.
    Not that expensive in my opinion...

    No, you're absolutely right about that. I checked the prizes after I had posted the message.
    But you do need to be lucky to get hold of the few cheap tickets there are available.
    At least that's the way it is in Denmark - We have these so-called Orange Tickets that are dirt cheap but they sell out so quickly.

    WHY I USE CAPITAL??? :?

    Because you are talking about capital?
    ;)

    Good point though, can we jsut change money at the airport? Or will they rip as off if we do that?
    There's a Forex exchange in Copenhagen Airport and at the Central Station - They have ok rates. Good trustworthy Swedish company I think :)
    You can use Visa and Mastercard almost everywhere in Cph, but you do pay a percentage when using foreign credit or debit cards.

    +1 I'll have to check out the accom others have booked. Be great to stay with other 10c folk. :)

    Also, I too will be going Stockholm - Copenhagen So definitely interested in info on that.

    I booked at these places that were on the 1st page of this thread, hopefully other 10c people will be there!
    I'll have a look at hostelworld later and see what's good, cheap and with a good location for Cph later or tomorrow.

    The good thing about the venue is that it isn't miles away from the centre of the city, so no matter where you book accomodation, the distance from the venue will be bearable.

And then everyone's gone crazy because they thought a second berlin show would be added and we got scared for buying tickets all over again. :D but then ticketmaster added another copenhagen show and we got tickets in less then 2 seconds... ;) haha. damn it...my dreams have to start to come true!!

    PJ European/ UK Tour Early Entry Wristband Info
    12.23.11

    Dear Fans,

    As promised all eligible members who purchased European/ UK GA floor tickets through the official* public ticket sales are eligible for up to 2 early entry wristbands. Tickets purchased through third party ticket vendors are not eligible for wristbands. To be eligible, you must have been a member by December 5th at 11:59pm PST. Only eligible members will be emailed a unique link directing them to a wristband request form to fillout.

    The eligible member will be asked to check a box next to each show you purchased GA floor tickets to, and you will need to provide proof of purchase info which you can find on your order confirmation. Members have until Tuesday, January 3rd at 2:59pm PST ( 10:59pm GTE/ 11:59pm CTE) to fill out this form before this offer expires.

    After that time, we will verify members have GA floor tickets with the official General ticket vendors. This may take a couple of weeks to verify each order, so your patience is appreciated in the meantime. Once we have completed the verification process, members will receive an email from Ten Club confirming a pair of Early Entry wristbands. Like fan club tickets, these will be distributed at will call on the day of the show.

    Wristbands: The floor is a mix of fan club and general public ticket holders. There will not be a separate sectioned off fan club area. Wristbands grant early entrance to the floor before the general public doors, to give our fans first option to get down in front of the stage. Early entry time is typically between 15-30 minute prior to the public doors. Eligible members will be notified the early entry time at a later date.

    Important:
    - Seated tickets are not eligible for early entry wristbands.
    - If you successfully purchased tickets through the CrowdSurge pre-sale and have an order confirmation, please do not fill out this form. You're already set with tickets and wristbands.
    - Eligible fans who ordered 1 GA floor ticket will receive 1 wristband.
    - Eligible fans who ordered more than 2 GA floor tickets will receive 2 wristbands. Sorry, as with our ticketing policy we can not accommodate more than 2.
    - You will not be asked for your name or email in this form. Your unique link is associated with you only (the member whose fan club account is associated with this email address).
    - Do not visit the above link and fill out this form on behalf of another member who purchased GA floor tickets. The links are unique to each member.
    - Only the member who was sent the link may pick the wristbands up at will call by showing valid government photo ID in person. No exceptions.
    - GA floor tickets purchased through third party ticket vendors are not eligible for early entry wristbands.
    - If you are not certain your online purchase is valid for this offer, please check the list of official ticket vendors below.
    - Wristbands are non-transferable and non-exchangeable.
    - Selling of wristbands on Ebay, Craigslist and other such re-sell sites will result in the cancelation of your wristbands, and potentially the revocation of future ticketing benefits.
    - False GA floor ticket order claims will not be issued wristbands.

    We are receiving a high volume of emails at this time. To better serve our members, please email all questions pertaining to the offer to <!-- e --><a href="mailto:tickets@tenclub.net">tickets@tenclub.net</a><!-- e --> with the subject "Wristbands".

    Best regards,
