Here is my plan!

Go to the London show, fly to Dusseldorf and see PJ again. Fly from Dusseldorf to Copenhagen, see PJ AGAIN. Fly from Copenhagen to Amsterdam, and get the train to Nijmegen. See PJ ONE MORE TIME, then get the train back to Amsterdam, and fly back to London.

I've looked into prices, and all that was very affordable. My only concern is that I could not book train tickets from in the Netherlands online. Can anyone from Holland tell me if there's anyway to do this?

SEE YOU IN NIJMEGEN!

Okay, I'm an experienced train traveller in the Netherlands. You CANNOT book in advance...just go to a boot to buy the ticket and jump in one of those trains...free seats (compare this with London Metro)...

how cheap is cheap?
i'd really love to do london and this, although don't know. i really don't know how much all this travel between countries would be, makes a BIG difference in the deicision process...and there's a big gap of time between just these 2 shows. don't know what i'd do, or where'd i'd stay if i only hit these 2. yikes. i wish there were more UK dates, make my decision process way easier. i don't know when to go, and what for....and i always said i'd not go to germany w/o hubby..........:o sheesh. hahahaha. my brain hurts. i just think i'd love going back to the NL. i only once spent a birthday weekend in amsterdam...but man, what a GREAT time!

single flight from londen to eindhoven costs € 39,44 according to http://www.cheaptickets.nl/index.cfm

That's my plan too. What airline are taking from Copenhagen to Amsterdam, I can't find any (cheap ones) who fly that route.

Hmmmm
I'm trying to work it out with my boss so I can go to both Nijmegen AND Werchter....

I certainly hope to see you all there

I’m in!

12 years (almost to the day) since Golden Gate Park 1995. So this time I attend with American friends and hopefully a bunch of new Euro friends. Now the wait begins.

American tourist question, if I stay in Amsterdam, do trains run all night after the concert?

Last train leaves at 23:30. Maybe there will be an extra train. Otherwise I'd recommend spending the night in Nijmegen (nice city, oldest in the Netherlands).

there are always extra trains after big event to amsterdam and so on. No worries about it. so its easier to book a hotel in amsterdam, cause there very few in nijmegen.

its funny to read how people worry so much..

well, people worry out of experience.
after the show in Greece we had to find our way to the highway very late at night and catch a cab, because there was only one last train leaving the venue straight after the show and it was packed..

so your country's in a good shape... that's good

You know we probably live within a couple hours of each other and have probably been to half a dozen of the same PJ show over the years and we’ll finally meet a few thousand mile away in a different country, on a different continent. Gotta love Pearl Jam.

Have you figured out where you’re staying yet?

Thanks for the info and links everyone. Now I just have to figure out if I should stay in Nijmegen or Amsterdam before and after the concert.

Ok, Dutch PJ friends, Nijmegen or Amsterdam? Which town is closer to the Heineken brewery? That’s where I’ll stay. Who’s goin’ on a Heineken tour?

What do Dutch locals drink and where? I got first round.

The Heineken tour is in Amsterdam. If it's the same one I did it cost 5 Euro's. You get a great tour, 3 glasses of beer along the tour and a glass in a cool heineken tin at the end. I think Nijmegen is almost 2 hrs from Amsterdam by train. I may be wrong on that. I'm still figuring out whereto stay yet. Yea it's funny we have been to alot of the the same shows. hehe Will meet ways away from home.
