    We're trying to finalize our flights, so I have a question for anyone that may know...

    I've read on here we could fly out of Zurich, Geneva or Basel. We need to leave the morning after the concert and the only flights available back to Atlanta leave out of Zurich at 10:10 or out of Geneva at 9:50.

    I assume we'll take the train from Bern to Geneva or Zurich and I've tried to look-up timetables online, but it's not be too clear - not sure if the train station is near the airport and if we'd have enough time to make these.

    Anyone know how long it'd take to get to these airports from Bern?
    Thanks!
    Zurich is far closer to Berne by train you're looking at about 2.5 hours to the city, then another 20/30 mins to the airport.
    You won't get a direct flight to the states from Basel cuz it only a tiny airport, as with Berne.

    Geneve-Berne by train is a f**king nightmare and would never advise it...

    Awesome. Thanks for the input! We'll book out of Zurich.

    2 Yankees from the left coast of America (Oregon to be specific) will be there! 1st ever trip to Europe. We're flying to Munich, dipping down to Innsbruck, Austria then through Zurich to Bern for the show. Hoping to get into Italy for a show or two also but we don't have any tickets, only 10C GA tickets for Bern. I like the whole idea of camping in the alps but can't really figure out how to bring enough gear on the plane to actually camp with. I also like the idea of a meet up before the show. I have no idea where to go in Bern or anywhere else in Switzerland so if anyone has a suggestion of somewhere reasonably close to the venue, that would be great!

    AWESOME! I am from Portland too! Studying in Germany for a year and as Pearl Jam is only playing one show in Berlin (way far away), I think I might look into going to Bern. I would be taking the train into Berlin and it would be fun maybe to meet some other Pearl Jam fans in a pub somewhere for a beer or two. Also I looked into a Youth Hostel and it was pretty inexpensive for a quad room. Maybe $30 with exchange rates.

    Does someone still have a Ten Club ticket to sell?

    We're gonna stay at one of the first 3. Anyone else booked up here? I slightly favour the 4 star one.

    Yeah if I get tickets it will be from normal ticketing venues. Not from 10 Club. I am still working out money but I still hope this works. I would love to meet up with people before the show, that would be really cool!

    I plan on getting to Bern by about noon or so. So I could hang out before the show. I also plan on spending some or most of the next day there before returning to Stuttgart.

    Pretty unimaginative, to be honest, nothing like Verona or Pistoia

    I'll make the trip from Mannheim and I'll drive home after the gig. I start thinking that it's a bit far for a one day trip...
