    Usually they open at 6 pm (concert 8pm) or 7pm (concert 9pm). The door times for the berlin concert is 5 pm. I assume that the opener will start at 7pm and PJ at 8pm. See you there...

    by the way, germany will win the world cup ;-)

    You're probably right - blue wristband with a teeny avocado then!

    Am I going the furthest to get to this show? I'm from Seattle, and it just so happens that I'm going to study abroad in Berlin, and class starts a few days later. When I heard the date when PJ was going to be in Berlin I freaked out that I got so lucky. Though I didn't get to purchase a pair of tickets through TenClub I did get lucky and a guy from Scotland, Duggro here on the boards, had an extra ticket and he is going to sell it to me. Not only that, but I get to see PJ here at the Gorge this summer, both shows, and I just feel very lucky that I get to see them on another continent. See everybody over there in the fall!

    see you there!

    Oi.
    Did you order via internet?
    Cos my ticket looks nothing like that, so I'm kinda wondering if there was some sort of attachment to one of the mails I didn't get.. Hmm.. My ticket is just white and says Pearl Jam with a code in the right downer corner..
    Did I miss something?

    I didn't get 10c tickets since we didn't decide to go until the 28th, and.. well.. my german is absolutly horrible to be honest..
  • toastertoaster Posts: 152
    Oh, and holo92: thanks a bunch!

    I've been looking around for hotels for a while, but haven't found anything close to the venue (yes, i am indeed a sucker at internet and searching :rolleyes: ) so this was mighty helpfull! I'll have to check out the two options, and see if they have a room available.


    Holy shit, I'm going to Berlin to see Pearl Jam!! :D
    See y'all there!

    This is going to be the best summer/fall ever.

    Well, I'm not really sure about the tickets, since I got 10c Tix :D. But to me it sounds like you bought an online ticket you can exchange for a real one the day of the show...

    Pfft, show off! :p

    Hmm, it says "online ticket" on the one I got, so maybe you're right and I'm just supposed to trade it at the venue.. Anyway, I got a ticket..
    The avocado one just looks so much fancier! :D

    What am I supposed to say? I don't even have a ticket in hand!! ;)

    Sorry, couldn't help it. I'm just so happy to have the confirmation email in my mailbox! Though I'm still hoping to get a real ticket when I pick up my wristband... :D

    Plus, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you also get an avocado one! There, that's nice, isn't it?

    Haha, yeah understand the feeling.. Good for you!:D

    lol! Yep, I sure hope they hand out avocado tickets for everyone!
    Heh, who ever said Pearl Jam fans were crazy collecters of every item connected with the band? :p

    Hey! Where do you go to school in Seattle? UW? I spent four years of my life at Seattle U. You're so lucky you get to study abroad in Berlin! It's my favorite city in the world. I spent a quarter studying in Frankfurt (Oder) and it's about an hour east of Berlin. I fell in love with Berlin the moment I stepped off the train at Alexanderplatz.

    Isn't the Gorge amazing? I saw PJ play there last September. Took a road trip from Northern California, went horseback riding in Leavenworth, saw PJ and then went to Seattle for a few days. Doesn't get any better than that!

    See you at the show!

    Duggro, another Scottish legend. He's posted the Jools Holland show online, great quality. You'll be able to find the thread easily enough.

    yeah, I got it through the net...but it sounds like you got your from tickets.de, which I didn't. I'm sure you're all set with just that bar code, that's what it says on their site, they don't send tickets...just that code...so be sure not to show it to anyone!

    but why stay so close to the venue? we'll be staying in central berlin, much more fun! you get to ride for free on the s-bahn out to the venue and back if you show the ticket...so there's no loss there

    ja ja, ha det bra så ses vi i berlin, vi kommer att ha med oss en eller två svenska flaggor :)

    Remember all the whining when they announced the tour, that there's only one show in Germany? Tickets been available for couple of weeks and they still haven't sold out. Maybe Deutschland doesn't love PJ after all..

    Yeah a lot of the shows have still got tickets available for seats that are miles away from the stage... looks like the whiners... weren't that bothered about going...
  • redrockredrock Posts: 18,341
    I guess that given the choice of crap seats or not seeing PJ at all, I'd go for crap seats. At least you're there!
  • ScotInAmsterdamScotInAmsterdam Posts: 1,004
    WHat it says to me is that they planned the tour pretty well.. If you really really really want to see them but didn;t want to see theme nough to take the several oppurtunities to get a decent ticket you still can...

    Okay.. i usually pick up my tickets at the post-office so I'm not really into the online-ticket thingy. But thanks :)

    And why we are staying so close to the venue? Neither me or my friend have any sense of direction at all, so we'd probably end up not finding our hotel anywhere at all :p
    nah, I don't really know why we're staying so close.. Thought that would be the smartest thing, but we might have to re-consider that, the subway system seems pretty easy so it shouldn't be too hard to figure our way back and forth from the city. Hmm.. Booking rooms tomorrow, so we'll see then..

    hejdå! så skal jeg se etter svenske flagg et sted på konserten!
    jätteträvligt (?) :D

    Yep and at the Berlin gig there's not even seats, all tickets are general admission.

    I'm going as well :)
    I bought my tickets 1 hour ago for me, my girlfriend (who recognized the importance it held for me, bless her soul) and a friend of mine with girfriend. I am pretty jazzed about it right now. Havent booked flight or rooms yet, as it is a long time yet, and Berlin is a huge city. Berlin I suppose is like all other major European cities with an extensive public transport system, so the question isn't how close you are to the venue, but how close you are to the nearest tram, bus or metro.

    Hope the online tickets get traded in what was shown earlier, coz the ones I have are really boring looking. :p

    It's probably still possible to buy tickets to this show. By the looks of it, it's a huge outdoor arena, so I guess that even after all die-hard fans have gotten their tickets, there'll be some left for the more casual people later on. It IS 4 months until the show after all :)

    And Caterina, are you coming for this one? Cool. :D

    Peace

    Hi Dan!

    Long time no see... hows' your thesis going? Hope everything's fine.

    Yes, I have tickets for Berling and Prague. I'll be going with my husband, this will be our much delayed honeymoon :). It will be hectic leaving Prague in a hurry, but I'm sooo excited.

    Nothing beats traveling to Europe and seing Pearl Jam!! It will me 1st time in Berlin and Prague, yeah!

    My Berlin tickets are actually two .pdf files with a code bar, nothing else. Got them at tickets.de

    Ohh some general information: these hostels seem pretty cool and well located (Berlin Mitte), for doing some sightseeing and catching the show:

    http://www.citystay.de/
    http://www.circus-berlin.de/

    For those who intend to book private rooms I'll suggest to hurry 'cause, to my suprise, september is already in high demand.

    Dan hope to see ya' in Berlin.
