    Wow, beautiful. Thanks for posting those. Any suggestions on what we definitely shouldn't miss? Unfortunately, we only have two days. :)


    If you have time take the short train ride to Interlaken. Its a beautiful town. Its a extreme sports town, and the sights are amazing. Also in Bern check out the Bear pit, and feed the bears. Right next to that you can watch the Bern show. The history of Bern. lol Its a short movie, but something to do. haha Have a great time.

    Actually the day after the concert, I plan on taking the train down to Zermatt to see the Matterhorn. It's been a dream of mine as long as I can remember and I hope to make it work. :)

    A lot of people are staying in the same place near the venue, so I would think a meet would be kind of cool. I plan on heading out of Stuttgart at like 10am so I would be there in Bern hours before the gig.

    i don't know if this has been posted before...
    but here's a 360degree-panorama view of bern arena at a *shudder* dj bobo show...

    i have to say it looks pretty good for an ice hockey arena...
    we'll have less pirates but DEFINITELY muuuuuuuuch better music on the 13th :D

    Hey Everyone,

    I also got 2 10C tickets for bern show.
    Read this thread first and decide to book a room in the marthahaus..
    We ( me and a friend ) come with car from holland and this place only asked 10 for parking the car each night.. so good deal I think.

    We should be arive on tuesday and leave on thursday or maybe friday...

    Maybe see some of you overthere ;)

    just a quick (probably stupid) question for the swiss jammers...
    we're coming down from germany just for the day and i'd like to know if most places accept EUR or only SFr (you know, for things like parking and drinks etc)...
    or do you think it's just generally a better idea to exchange some money to the local currency?

    You cant use Euro anywhere here,perhaps maybe in a hotel but everywhere else is CHF.

    I got 10c tickets and at the time it said it was a seated venue, but it seems now its been changed to general admission　I am dissapointed because at the time I could still have got tickets for elsewhere --Milan or Paris etc Im travelling all the way from Japan to the UK ,and my father tells me Switzerland is very expensive so Im feeling a bit worried ,I wouldnt have minded the extra expence if I could have used my 10c number 176**He,He,He!!!!to get a good seat Now I am going to have to run like mad in the first 15 mins!!! to get to the front --never done that before!!! Its a good job Im a fit 53 year old ----Bit worried about the knees though --they are a bit rough after several accidents!!!!the waiting and excitement is killing me!!!!!


    I bet those knees won't feel a day over 30 once the PJ adrenalin starts evenflowing!!! You'll get a spring in your step the closer you get to show time. Something tells me this show is going to be special. Hail Hail to those lucky enough to be there!!
    I was alone and far away when I heard the band start playing!
