be careful: if that's the hostel that i know, it closes at midnight. It is also not so close to the arena. I suggest you to talk at the phone with the owners.
Oh really??? I might just do that! thanks.

I think it's best if you call the owners directly and check.
The link I gave you has a phone # as well as a map of the hostel in respect to Piazza Bra', where the Arena is.
Bars, hotels cater for concert-goers during the opera/concert season in Verona.
I also read in another old thread some fans stayed at that hostel for the 2000 concert.
Thanks so much for your help
I think I'll probably have an early night the following morning anyway so if I HAVE to stay out all night it probably wouldn't be the end of the world

If worse comes to worst and you can't find a hostel or B&B, I might be able to offer you a place to sleep. Not in Verona though. Still, it depends on whether I find my misplaced Verona tix and go to the concert!

Awww thank you that's a lovely offer. I'm sure I'll work something out anyway. I really would love to see Verona too - I've been to Italy twice and never made it to Verona or Venice, which I both really really want to see so hopefully next weekend I can mark ONE of them off my list
What are you doing here? Should you not be looking for your ticket? I'm sure somebody will help you out if it comes down to it anyway.

Unfortunately it got sent to my parents', hence the 'misplacement' ARGH! (I can't bring myself to say lost yet!!!)
Fingers crossed the tix will show up. Otherwise... it's too awful to contemplate. I was even taking my 14-yr old nephew to his first show.. :(
must think positive!
Verona and Venice are both lovely town and September is ideal weather. Good luck w/ your accommodation search and let me know if you have problems!

I'll know for definite tomorrow... it will just be Verona if I am.
You going to Verona?

Long time no speak to. Are you going to Bologna. I need to get rid of two tickets, but I'm not going to the gig. I've had no luck trying to get rid of them on here.
Hi Neil I am going, yes. Hmm I don't know anyone who wants tix to that gig I don't think. I can't believe no one wants them on here though! :eek:
How come you aren't going to the gig now? You are doing a few in Italy though if I remember right. Gotta see the two mad Scotsmen

hey, hows it goin? its all so close, what was are u flying to bologna? i'm doing british airways to bologna from gatwick getting in at 6pm ish on the 13th.
We arrive really late on the 13th, around midnight I think. Not sure of the details, Heather booked flights
Be cool to meet on the 14th though pre-gig
I think your friend Steve was a little disappointed to not be doing more shows.

ok all, meet-up spots are all SET! we now have pistoia all arranged as well:
Bar Duomo
Piazza Duomo
Tel. 0573/24660
The bar is open during the concert season (there's a summer blues festival in Pistoia) and it will be open when PJ will be playing. It's on the square itself so it will be easy to find!
can't ask for a better/easier spot, right on the piazza square! the last show, last gathering in italy...shall be GREAT! :cool:
i leave for italy on the 11th, wooohoooooo! seeya all there! :cool:
*edit - do make note for those going to verona...the time for the pre-show meet-up has been set for 4:30/16:30, seemed logical to set it a bit later than 3:00/15:00 since that would be quite a long time...and we have no worries timewise being a non-GA show. tis another meet-up spot VERY close to the venue, so easy easy!
***to clarify, ALL meet-ups are post-gig....meaning after each show! the only exception is verona, with both pre and post meet-ups. all other cities, AFTER the pearl jam shows, head to the meet-up spots. otheriwse, i assumed all would be out exploring the respective city and/or queuing up on the 10c line for early entry, thus no time for pre-show meets.
Yes, I think Ill be there, in Verona, with a bunch of ppl im meeting there and all...
I know where Zac is, its so cute
Looking forward to this...so soon...
Also, Milan is another show Im going to in Italy, so I guess I'll see you all there too.
And will I be looking for the cute one in a green PJ shirt?
:eek: Lol, yip that will be me
Don't worry I'll show ya some pics of me before then anyway. I think I've seen some of you before.

Is anyone camping on this tour?? My brother and I will be for every italian show...it's going to be wicked, specially in Verona...2 days next to a lake ...Plus, it's extremely cheap!
I am arriving in Pistoia on the 19th and I need some suggestions on cheap places to stay......I would appreciate any and all help.
Hi,
There's a residence:
RESIDENCE IN (PISTOIA)
ASSOCIAZIONE TURISMO E TEMPO LIBERO - DIOCESI DI P
Residence
Via Puccini Niccolo' 38 - 51100 (PISTOIA)
But I am not sure how much they charge.
Alternatively:
AFFITTA CAMERE IN (PISTOIA) [affittacamere means they rent out rooms in houses, basically B&B, but w/ no breakfast!)
SANDRA TORRIGIANI
Affitta Camere
via montalbano N°27 - 51100 (PISTOIA)
BED AND BREAKFAST IN (PISTOIA)
MULINO DEL GABBIONE
Bed And Breakfast
Via del mulino,3/5 - 51030 Baggio - Fraz. di (PISTOIA) [this however, is not in the town centre, so you will need to arrange travel to get there]
FYI, agriturismo is basically a B&B in the countryside, so while excellent when on holiday, unless you have a car it is not advisable in this occasion.
I was just thinking the same thing. Looking forward to meeting you in Verona, HH. Just a week now. See everyone there!!
Oh holy fuck!!!!!!!! Too excited for words now, lol. Definitely have the ticket so just a matter of booking the flight and accommodation shouldn't be a problem . Looking forward to meeting you too
Laura I hope ya get sorted.
