    Would just like to say this thread is very good.
    I have decided to try and go to the Katowice show. I can get cheap flights from glasgow to krakow. Is it still possible to get tickets to the show. Do they send them to my home in scotland or do i pick them up there?
    Where do i get tickets?

    they send tickets here in poland so I guess they send them abroad too. I'm sure the info's on their site. plus someone here has already bought tickets through them so maybe they'll answer your question.

    Ok so I booked this hotel http://www.hotel-chorzow.pl/?id=en, apparently it's 200 metres from the stadium so I won't have to worry about travelling on my own after the concert! :) The contact details are on that page.

    I booked this one too given its location. Cost is 35 EUR per night and includes breakfast. Sounds like there still are rooms available, but they'll probably go fast.

    Hi, as ive got my flight to katowice would any polish fans recommend or think i would be better travelling to krakow for the day and night of the 12th and then travelling back to katowice for the gig on 13th?

    Go to Krakow, even just for the evening. Katowice is boring, Krakow is a place to visit if you're a tourist.

    thanks for your input roubal, karola and bugtomek, i think i would be a fool to turn down the advice of three polish residents, Krakow it is, then back to katowice for the gig!! Seriously though, thanks for your help i appreciate it as its always a bit un-nerving going away when you dont really know where your going!!!! im sure you will all be right and a colleague of mine has just been to krakow and said it was beautiful! by the sounds of it katowice is not too good in comparison.

    I think I might fly to Krakow a few days early to look around, do the Polish residents in this thread mind if I tap you for some information on trains, what tickets to buy etc?

    Thanks :) x

    so youve give yourself 30 mins from landing and collecting your bag, mind you you wont have luggage as such will you? but still 30 mins from landing and getting thru passport control is a tight schedule mate! whens the next bus after that one can you remember off hand?

    Katowice/Pyrzowice is a very small airport, probably serving a few planes a day. I am quite sure the bus waits for the passengers.

    it didnt give options for times just that one but as above maybe the bus doesnt leave until after the flight passengers are on the bus

    still 30 mins sounds like too little time... but you can always just take some bus or whatever means of transport go to katowice and take a train from there to krakow. they run every hour or so.
    gosh, are you taking notes??? ;)
    still 131 days....
