is anybody else staying at hotel berna?? If so, what is the best plan for getting back after the concert? Taxi, train, tram? On foot?

My wife and I are at Hotel Berna. She's the navigator, so we're going to look into it today.

Great news from flofischl that Italy game will be broadcast from the stadium before the show. So fun to watch Italy game in San Siro with wild Italian fans. And then PJ show. Will be an unforgettable day.

Any swiss PJ fans taking the Friday's EC 51 train to Milano (arrival 10.35)? Let's meet for a beer in the train's restaurant ;-)

Dear Customer,


We inform you that the City of Milan, in collaboration with ATM and Live Nation Italy, has developed a system to allow the free use of the means of surface and underground to anyone who has purchased a ticket for the Pearl Jam concert scheduled June 20.

The transaction allows ticket holders to travel free of charge on ATM transport (metro, buses and trams) for the entire day and until the end of the shipping service, the day of the concert.

Both for the subway to the media surface, it is necessary to pick up the free travel pass, ATM vending machines, by typing the following fiscal seal (the unique 16-character alphanumeric code preceded by SF):


EACH EMAIL HAS CODE

the title of ATM trip, urban daily, may be withdrawn at any vending machine in the subway in Milan from the 19th of June.

ENHANCED SERVICE ATM
We inform you that at the concerts organized by Live Nation Italy at the Stadio San Siro, in the months of June and July, 2014, there is a strengthening and extension of the ATM service.
Specifically:

- 3 cars Tram 16 "Segesta-Cantu" as reinforcement in both inflow in runoff;
- 4 cars Bus 161 "Segesta - Axum" in 6 + influx in runoff, prolonged Lot;

With the hope of having done something pleasant, we wish you good fun.

That sounds good. How does one get an email code?

veruz

No email code, I think there is an error in translation.
The code you need is only on the concert ticket.

Mine is on an email as I'm collecting my ticket from the venue , yes a loss in translation

Longueuil

I bought a 48h pass before knowing that. If someone need a code, i can give you mine.
Can wait for tomorrow! Second Pearl Jam show ever!

I'm still not clear on how to get there from Milano centrale

Hi Veruz. Sorry for late reply - do you still want a ticket?
Send me a message if you do & i can supply my contact information.

Longueuil

I'm still not clear on how to get there from Milano centrale

Take the metro
1- Green line, direction Abbiategrasso. Exit at Cardona Tiennale
2- Red lne, direction Molino Dorino.
Important: Pay attention to the train comming in station because you don't what to enter in the train for Bisceglie. If it happen, simply comeback by changing train.
3- Walk from the station to the statium (approx 10 min). You will pass next to the hypodrome. The stade will be back, to the left (you can not miss it).

Someone know when the doors open?

ldent42

Which stop do get off tho?

Google maps was trying to tell me to take a bus, I knew something was wrong there.

grieving dice

Just checked in at the Hilton. They upgraded room for free...it's enormous. I have the bus stops to use and ill post them in a bit. Left the map in room, getting a snack in the exec lounge. She said it was a 15 min walk from the last bus stop too.

grieving dice

This is for taking a bus. They said bus or taxi is how to get there and I'm right next to the main train station.

Green Line exit at Cadorna (same thing the above post says).

Get the Red Line right there take it to Lotto/Fieramilanocity. As the above says, you need the red line towards Molino Dorino, not Bisceglie.

She said there is a street right there that will take you to San Siro stadium. Maybe it is called Lotto, but I'm unsure.

devindoughty

Lotto is correct. We're at Hotel Berna and we scoped it all out with a 48 hr transit pass. The guy at the desk said green to red is the route he would take.

Longueuil

I'm curious to know how was the return to the hotel for everyone.

I walked from San Siro to Lorento station as the metro was closed, something I didn't expected.

Quite sure taxis made good money last night

grieving dice

Ended up going taxi both ways. Real hard to find one post show. About 1:15am we finally got it.

leekstokie

We took a free bus from the stadium to Lotto. Red line metro Lotto through to Lima and then a 10 min walk to hotel Berna. Found it a lot easier than expected

ldent42

Walked about a thousand miles to the lotto stop on the metro. Crammed in to the station with a bunch of people that have seen a metro before, apparently. Got on the 2nd train after a give minute wait, switched at Cardona for the green line north to centrale. Kebabs by like 1am. Easier than expected, though I can't walk today.
