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!!!!!

53?! god bless you. we got your back if you fall.

So are you living in switzerland? how expensive is it? If I was to survive (survive, that is all... to barely survive would even do) for a week how much cash would i need?

i believe hotels would be above average. there is always mcdonald's for food or supermarkets to get sandwiches.

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!

Ok, this show just got a little weirder for me...but I'm excited. I am going to be in Europe with family at the time & now that some of them found I was going to see Pearl Jam, my sister & my mom got tickets to the Bern show too! I've seen PJ with my sister before, but my mom?!? I'm really excited she wants to go. I just hope she likes it.

Also...

P-Town, I remember your name from that other post. Like I said, I don't know too much about Switzerland & would love any input too, but I have been to Austria & loved it - had an awesome time!

While in Innsbruck, if your into hiking or great views from the tops of the Alps, there's a great hike leaving from a little town called Hungerburg, on the outskirts of Innsbruck, that takes you up to a great lookout at Hafelekar. It'd be close to a full day hike or you can take the gondola (it's a ski resort in winter) if you're not up for hiking. That day hiking in Innsbruck was really one of the highlights of my life.

just read this thread.....

some info's for you guys.... when possible and not more expensive fly to basel instead of geneva... it's more near to Berne (save train money

and when you guys have some days time it's really worth hanging around Intelaken in the Bernese Oberland... it's a awesome scenery, when the weather is good!!

hotel's are quite expensive in Switzerland.. it's much cheaper when you go to a hostel or more so when you do camping!!

the concert is still not sold out.... mhhhh looks like pearl jam are not that big here.. anyway I will be there... the first of 5 concerts since fucking 6 YEARS!!!! Was quite surprised they chose the BernArena where i haven't been at a concert. That's quite a old Ice Hockey Stadium. They have been in Zuerich 1996/2000.. looking forward to it! Was hoping (dreaming) they will do quite a small open air Amphitheater in Avenches.... but now Radiohead is going there this year, it's an amazing place for concerts with a great atmosphere.. but yeah when i see the whole tour we can be lucky to have a concert at all!

Thanks for the info!I have been trying to find cheap flights into Berne itself from the UK,but they all seem pretty pricey,In fact I'm even debating to not go and wait --again for dates --sometime in the future for either the UK or Japan,as I shall be travelling from Japan its going to be an expensive trip anyway so Im now wondering if it might be better to wait --even though I have got my 10c tickets.However my brother is looking into flights and accomodation,so Im just hoping he can come up with somthing good that wont leave me broke!!!!

Berne has only a small airport and i think there aren't any discount airline flying in... EasyJet flying to Geneva and Basel... Ryan Air i'm not sure about Geneva and they would flight to Friedrichshafen, Germany near the border of Switzerland

It's quite a long way from Japan.... why you don't plan going to Australia instead.. more near and cheaper for sure???

Anyway... hope you find something suitable for you!!!

Thanks for your help--the thing with the UK trip is my family have been waiting for a PJ tour so that they can get to see me again!!Im originally from the UK! It gets pretty amazing when my parents who are in their late 70's --the first thing they ask when they telephone --When will Pearl Jam be touring europe or the UK !!!they both thought that the Astoria show should have been for 10club members only!!!!! and I have to agree with them on that!!!!!!

P-Town-P-Jam-Fan · May 2006

Any other decent bands playing around the same time of year that you know about? I'd like to go to another show of some sort, but I don't really know where to look for European shows..

small town beck · May 2006

I don't think I am able to make it to Bern. I am not sure if it is possible or not but if it is possible I would like to transfer my 10c tix. Just send me a pm if you are interested. Thanks!!!

Yesterday i realised that, if everything goes accordingly, this will be my 10th Pearl Jam concert. I'll finally have made it to double digits. =D

big dipper ice cream · May 2006

i ordered 2 tickets through ten club, 148xxx, for bern and bologna, but can not make it to europe this time.
