I'm a 10clubber from Virginia heading to this show. Does anybody know the logistics of this show such as when the door opens, when those holding 10c tickets/bracelets will be let in, and are 10c tickets restricted to a GA floor. Also, does anyone know if public transportation is going to be available after the show from the arena to Bologna. Let's talk up some Bologna. Any good bars near the venue? Any information is good information. The show is just around the corner.
1/95 DC, 7/95 Chicago, 9/95 Austin, 9/96 Columbia, 10/96 Charlotte, Charleston, 9/98 Va Bch, Columbia, 8/00 Va Bch., 9/00 Columbia, 7/03 Bristow, 10/04 Asheville, DC, 5/06 DC, 9/06 Bologna, Verona, 4/08 Ed in Santa Cruz, 6/08 Columbia, SC, Va. Bch, 6/22 and 8/08 Ed in DC.

    You should have had an e-mail from 10c giving you the official times for wristband exchange and entry. If not I'd suggest you give them a call or check your spam filters...
    Tickets are only for GA floor - at most Euro gig's floor is classed as GA, and all seats are sold individually.
    On the transport side, I'm sure someone said that there usually isn't transport, however when there's a big gig on they usually put on a few buses... here's hoping, as it's a long walk back :0 .
    Thats pretty much all I know atm, other than we get into the airport at around 9am

    Yes, I have been to some Pearl Jam concerts. Several of them.

    really cool that you're flying in from the US!! ;)

    From the official Bologna website: http://www.palamalaguti.it

    "IN AUTOBUS. Il PalaMalaguti è raggiungibile anche con le linee autobus extraurbane provenienti direttamente da Bologna zona Stazione Centrale numero 93 e 94 (solo nei giorni feriali) e n. 671 (nei giorni feriali e festivi). In occasione di particolari eventi è possibile l'attivazione di un servizio navetta tra la Stazione Centrale dei Treni di Bologna ed il PalaMalaguti prima e dopo lo spettacolo. Per informazioni ATC Bologna al numero 051 290 290, visitando il sito http://www.atc.bo.it oppure contattando il PalaMalaguti al numero 051 758 758."

    This means that they will most likely set up some extra night busses from the venue in to Bologna city center...

    I have never been to the area where the gig is which is a bit outside the city center, but bologna is a little really nice city, so when i go down i will stay as long as i can in the city, enjoying the food, wine etc, and collect my 10c wristbands not too late...

    ;)

    Thanks for all the info. I did a ticket transfer with another 10clubber, which has been confirmed, but I'm not getting the emails. I can't wait for the shows and hope to see you there.

    Thanks again for all the info. Does anybody know if there is a cut off time for getting 10c bracelets. If I don't get to the arena til say 5:30, am I going to get a bracelet. I assume they come with the 10c tickets at will call?

    I will be looking for those flags. Sounds like the show my look like the opening ceremony at the olympics. Pretty cool. Can't wait.

    For those of you who have not seen them on this tour, they are playing better than they have since the mid 90's and really look like their having a blast.

    the bracelets come automatically with your tickets, but obviously if you come after doors open, they will serve zero purpose. however, 5:30, plenty of time to get your tix/bracelets.....get in the 10c line to queue to get in....and thereya go!

    the e-mail was specific that the bracelets are the only benefit, there will not be a designated 10c section, etc. that 15 minute lead time to claim your piece of real-estate is it. damn cool imo, but sure...that does mean those let in later can ceetainly fight their way to the fornt too. we shall see how it all goes.

    bottomline, seeing pearl jam live in italy = priceless. :D

    seeya there!
    go get a message pit button so we can all say hi! :)
