The nearest airport is called "Pyrzowice" and it's located near the city of Katowice. You could say that Chorzów & Katowice are the same city, cause they're both parts of the same aglomeration.
You can also take a flight to "Balice" airport in Kraków, and then travel to Katowice by train. It's not far away, and you can do some sightseeing by the way, cause Kraków it's a much more interesting city to see.
In Katowice/Chorzów you won't see anything interesting (only PJ ).
Someone said earlier something about capacity of Chorzów's stadium. He included only seating places..
I guess, when u consider that there is also a lot of space on the pitch in front of scene, there will be enough space to host over 80.000 people, but I don't think that so many people will come. Hope that the stadium will not look "empty". Well, we'll see.. I can't wait See ya all at the concert

Centralwings and Wizzair fly to Katowice (10-15 km from Chorzow), Ryanair and Easyjet fly to Krakow (60-80 km). You can also fly to Warsaw and take one of our shitty but very cheap trains (3 hrs long journey, about 10-15 euros). If you want to come for a bit longer, DO NOT stay in Chorzow/Katowice. Choose Krakow or Warsaw instead.

Dude,
it's not like they're going to sell out in a week. Just chill.

How is the standard on the trains?
I have to take the train to gdansk. It´s like 9 hour trip so, want to know if it´s comfortable.
How long from the arena is the Train station in Katowice?
Don't you think that germany is central europe? I mean more central then germany isn't possible...
I don't have much time in june/july due to exams so far travelling isn't possible for me.Well I still hope for the best.
dont want to be an asshole but geographical center of europe is in Slovakia, which much more to the east (nieghboring with Ukraine), so check your facts dude.
and i thought that people living in europe know their continent

Oh, someone is nitpicking here...According to wikipedia there is an ongoing debate about where the centre of Europe really is. Slovakia is just one of several possible centres. Germany though is the geographical centre of the European Union. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_centre_of_Europe

The Intercity and Eurocity trains are just fine and comfortable. The cheaper ones are shitty and you shouldn't take 'em if you want to think good of Poland when you leave.

It's about 30 min travelling by tramway.
I'm not sure if you'll find direct Gdańsk-Katowice train connections..
If you want to travel in better standard you would propably have to take a train to Warsaw and then another one to Katowice.
If not, there are some regular trains straight from Gdańsk to Katowice.
"How much difference does it make? Fuckin' tell them!" Eddie, Chorzów 13/06/2007
woooooooooooow, that's incredible. After I searched some maps I found out it's just 150km behind the borders from my city. So hope they'll play it very loud &&& see you everybody there!!!
This is so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd thought it be at least two years before i could see them again live..!
Now I just need to save up for the trip...
btw - how cold it is in chorzow that time of the year..?

The only thing about the show the 10c can give us, is if there will be a fanclub presale. Everything else is clear.
Sony/BMG Poland announced the show. It IS official.
it's NOT going to happen this time of course

vidime sa v juni!
see you in june!:)
2nd class Euro-/Intercity ticket (Gdańsk-Katowice) costs about the same as the ticket to PJ concert..
Regular train tickets cost about half of that.
It's about 30 min travelling by tramway.
I'm not sure if you'll find direct Gdańsk-Katowice train connections..
If you want to travel in better standard you would propably have to take a train to Warsaw and then another one to Katowice.
