...or anyone who might know...
Do you know if the public sale tickets were assigned seating or general admission like the 10c tickets?
There has been some concern that older fans with 10c GA tickets will only have access to the floor and may not want to get squished upfront or stand in the back with bad views, may want to sit on sides or something.
Not me, I'm going for the front!
It would be good to know that I could take a seat if I wanted to.
Thanks desertman.
Pegasus if you read this...it looks like you were right, 10c will be on the floor.
yeah, thought so.
All the otehr shows i looked at in europe have assigned seating on teh general sale so that pretty much rules out access for 10.
Unless they set aside a few for us...
Can anyone recommend a nearby hotel to the venue, a good one... I will be spending one or two nights in Athens before I leave for a more relaxed 5-6 days on the beach somewhere else in Greece.
Or maybe someone would like to have two Norwegians @ their place for a few nights hehe, no harm in asking We could work something out... anyways, hotel suggestions is appreciated!

a hotel in the centre of Athens, near to a metro station would be the better choice...

I think this is where our cousin Betty stayed last year. The Hotel Tembi under economical http://www.cretetravel.com/Athens/Athens_hotels.htm . She said it was nice, cheap and according to the map it's in a good down town location (which I can vouch for, didn't see the rooms but was in the lobby, seemed nice). Close to Monastiraki Square/Metro and Plaka. Reviews say some rooms have excellent views of the Acropolis. Can't find a website specificlly for them but will keep looking. Maybe call and see if it suits your budget.
P.S. Where have you decided to go after the concert?
Hey desertman only 2 months to go!!! Any ideas for a meet up?
My hubby and I will be in Athens @ Sept 3rd. - will stay a couple of days before heading to the islands then be back before the concert. If you set something up, please let me know before we leave Canada (Sept. 2) if you can because not sure how much internet I'll be accessing in Greece. If not, I guess I'll have to keep checking at internet cafes.
Sorry we seem to all be relying on you, but you are THE DESERTMAN :cool: after all
i was in greece in the beginning of the summer and it was amazing. i rememeber hoping when i was making hotel reservations that PJ would be playing there durng my two week stay. too bad school will stop me from going.

does anyone know how the ticket sales are for the athens gig?
how many did they sell yet?
I read 3 weeks ago in a newspaper that the have already sold 2000+ tickets, which in my opinion is fairly good considering the fact that we Greeks, usualy run for tix at the last minute... However, at the same day, Depeche Mode who are playing on Tuesday 1/8 the had sold 10000.
