    Good as in expensive 5 star good, or good as in a good deal. I found a room somewhere fairly close to the venue. Its good as in a good deal for Switzerland anyway. If you are interested, I can get you the name of the place when I get home. My girlfriend and I are going from Portland. Must help out a fellow pacific northwesterner!
    Thanks! We finally booked in the Jardin, but can change it if you have better info. :)

    Bump for you. It's hard finding places isn't it? We finally booked into the Jardin, but not sure where it is exactly. Google and mapquest didn't like the Bern arena much lol. :)

    Dear Ms Hunt

    We thank you for the mail from this morning.

    You can reach the Bern Arena from our hotel by tram in about 10 minutes. Or
    you can also walk, then it's about 15 - 20 minutes.

    If you have more quesitons please do not hesitate to write us.

    best regards,
    Hotel - Pension Marthahaus

    I actually found tons of hotels in Bern/Berne (which is correct btw?). The problem, for me at least, was trying to figure out how close they were to the venue/arena. When I tried mapquest or other sites for the Bern Arena and hotels, I couldn't get the two matched. Thanks for the links though. :)

    We're trying to finalize our flights, so I have a question for anyone that may know...

    I've read on here we could fly out of Zurich, Geneva or Basel. We need to leave the morning after the concert and the only flights available back to Atlanta leave out of Zurich at 10:10 or out of Geneva at 9:50.

    I assume we'll take the train from Bern to Geneva or Zurich and I've tried to look-up timetables online, but it's not be too clear - not sure if the train station is near the airport and if we'd have enough time to make these.

    Anyone know how long it'd take to get to these airports from Bern?
    Thanks!

    Zurich is far closer to Berne by train you're looking at about 2.5 hours to the city, then another 20/30 mins to the airport.
    You won't get a direct flight to the states from Basel cuz it only a tiny airport, as with Berne.

    Geneve-Berne by train is a f**king nightmare and would never advise it...

    2 Yankees from the left coast of America (Oregon to be specific) will be there! 1st ever trip to Europe. We're flying to Munich, dipping down to Innsbruck, Austria then through Zurich to Bern for the show. Hoping to get into Italy for a show or two also but we don't have any tickets, only 10C GA tickets for Bern. I like the whole idea of camping in the alps but can't really figure out how to bring enough gear on the plane to actually camp with. I also like the idea of a meet up before the show. I have no idea where to go in Bern or anywhere else in Switzerland so if anyone has a suggestion of somewhere reasonably close to the venue, that would be great!

    AWESOME! I am from Portland too! Studying in Germany for a year and as Pearl Jam is only playing one show in Berlin (way far away), I think I might look into going to Bern. I would be taking the train into Berlin and it would be fun maybe to meet some other Pearl Jam fans in a pub somewhere for a beer or two. Also I looked into a Youth Hostel and it was pretty inexpensive for a quad room. Maybe $30 with exchange rates.

    Does someone still have a Ten Club ticket to sell?

    We're gonna stay at one of the first 3. Anyone else booked up here? I slightly favour the 4 star one.
  • strilostrilo Posts: 484
    Yeah if I get tickets it will be from normal ticketing venues. Not from 10 Club. I am still working out money but I still hope this works. I would love to meet up with people before the show, that would be really cool!

    I plan on getting to Bern by about noon or so. So I could hang out before the show. I also plan on spending some or most of the next day there before returning to Stuttgart.

    Pretty unimaginative, to be honest, nothing like Verona or Pistoia

    Have we decided on a meet place yet??
