    I have lots of tickets... but I couldn't help checking ticketmaster... looks like they're pretty easy to get.

    yeah, but i think there's only seats available now.

    I was at the post office at 8 this morning, expexting lots of people, there was no one. When i got back 15 minutes to ten, i was fifth in line. not really a battle for tix.

    Yeah I cycled past the wee booth at Leidseplein... there was a few people, but not the sea of PJ fans I expected... I think some of them were just Oma's there for the keukenhof. Either that or eddie is getting an older following.

    Got tickets too for Arnhem via Ticketmaster. Was pretty easy to get them. Seems they have some good IT people in Holland who know how to handle such mass visits to websites :-)

    Hehe, well didn't i see some people complaining about ed's age showing off? Maybe they're not the only one's who noticed, and some oma's may see oppertunity's rising :D

    How strange. I tried online just in case some of my friends didn't succeed but for 30 minutes all I got was "too many users - try again in a couple of minutes".

    Ah well, I think my friends got their tickets anyway!

    Oma's for the Keukenhof! Hahahahahahahahaha :)

    It could be quite a fight.... grunge heads in flannal shirts wielding guitars, against tante leen's flannal under wear wielding albert heijn bags....

    haha, man how long have you been living in the netherlands? You sure know how to define inburgering.

    Well if tante leen brings in the albert heijn bags, ill sure bring and go smelt de kasen!

    They must have picked up on 'seating by seniority' and thought it applied here too.

    yes, see you there! I guess it's so quiet here because most Dutch people are on Dutch Ramblings (http://pearljamonline.nl/forum)

    groetjes,
    Mirella :)

    p.s.: you guys are funny with the flanel and seniority jokes :)

    You're not wrong... I count 25 threads with various different aspects of information arranged into a wee section, and the same for antwerpen... We're not as organised here, I think we'll just have to stick to fart jokes over here...

    Could one of you be responsible for digesting the information a wee bit and calling every now and again and letting us know if any decisions about pre meets and what not have been decided...

    Do you think the fact that the concert is sponsored by MTV means that it will be televised???

    Those German tickets look way better than the standard ticketservice paper..

    No idea if Mtv will air any of it, but it would be very nice, same goes for the possibility of 3FM airing some of it!

    It's the Netherlands.... they are less likely to censor it than the british MTV who if you ever watch a Blur video place a "blur" over the bass player's cigarette in almost every video...
