    It will make a massive difference i think... it pretty much guarantees ten club members will be right down the front... on that thought... do you think it will still be important to get there and line up early... even if you DO have a ten club wrist band??
    Well I guess it depends how many 10c tickets were issued I guess.
    If there's only a hundred of us, that should be fine, if there's 500, then yes, being there early will matter if you want the front.

    We won't know until it starts.
    That said, I have my doubts about the 15mn being inforced. By the time the security get their sh*t together, there might not be any advance, even for people in front of the 10c line, let alone at the back of it.
    Had they say 30mn, I might have believed it, but 15mn is nothing, will be wipped out easily at the slightest glinch, I'd bet money on it.

    Would be curious to know from people in the SA shows how it went (I believe the same system was used there).

    They'll be using this system for the San Fransico shows, so believe me, we'll hear about it if it doesn't make a difference. 10c members will be up in arms, there seems to be ALOT going to those shows, probably more than we'll have in Athens. If we hear nothing then we can always ask (just to be on the safe side);)

    but i suggested Poros because is 1 or 2 hours from Athens...
    and it's beautiful and peaceful..

    btw..Amorgos is one of my favorites... :D

    How would I get to Poros from Athens? And, is there a cheap hotel near the Venue?

    Ferries and high speed vessels from Piraeus port. The Metro takes you to the port within 25mins from the center of Athens.

    There aren't many hotels near the venue and since it isn't far away from the center of Athens there is no need to stay nearby IMO. However, if you don't like the fuzz of the city center you can stay in suburbs like Marousi or Chalandri which are adjusted to the venue. There are few small and relatively cheap hotels there.

    try http://www.gtp.gr has ferry itineraries(such as they are) and list hotels but usually not prices just class
    also any good guidebook (i like Let's go and Island hoppers)for greece will give you info on hotels in athens so head to your local book store and read up & take notes. if the hotel has a website contact them.

    Shouldn't be too hard. I believe you just hop on the Metro Line 1 (green) and take it up to Irini Station (going towards Kiffissia) and you're pretty much at the Olympic complex. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    That's correct. It's a 20-25 minute ride from Omonoia station (downtown).

    ...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! :D
    It would be good to know that I could take a seat if I wanted to.

    Thanks for all your help!

    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...
