I've heard there will be buses running from the concert to the Nijmegen station too. And there's an easy and cheap connection to Elst once you get to the Nijmegen station.
The show starts at 17:00 and there are tree openers!!!! I don't think that pearl jam will start at 20:45.Beavis : Is this Pearl Jam?
Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
Butt-head: Well, they both suck.0 -

Well it's the excitement I think! You don't want it to go wrong, anyway I don't..Have to prepare us for 5 concerts, it's exciting but lot's of check and dubbelcheck, flights, hotels, timetable, tickets, different countries and languages!!0 -

Exactly! There's a lot to think about for sure. My friends and I got tickets and then booked everything pretty much straight away. Compared to last year's tour we're much more organised, but haven't had any problems. So things seem to be running a bit TOO smooth and it makes me nervous."This town deserves a better class of criminal... and I'm gonna give it to them."0 -

That would be lovely
Hopefully, i'll manage to get to the front...
@ Parel jam
Do u think it's a good idea booking up a youh Hostel in Arhneim? Is it close enough to Nijmegen?0 -
I've lived in Arnhem for 7 years. It's really close to Nijmegen (max. 20 minutes by train). You'll have to travel between Arnhem Central Station (CS) and Nijmegen Central Station (CS).myth4343 wrote:That would be lovely

It's so weird, at the beginning of last year i had ZERO experience and now i have 6 shows under my belt with another on the way. I'm not trying to brag but it's all happened so quickly and yet i still feel like it's the first time i'm seeing them live.
I wish i could enjoy the smoothness. As with last year, the panic won't stop until i'm at the 10c window and my name is crossed off the list and tickets handed to me. Watching them check that list may just be the worst part of it!"This town deserves a better class of criminal... and I'm gonna give it to them."0 -

What can go wrong? Well, lot's of things yeah but I push that thought away, because it's just fun. Forget about other stuff. And getting your ticket is "peanuts" compared to what's coming next!! Hoping for a good spot, the waiting, getting through the opener(s) and then the big moment. Being in heaven for a couple of hours.
I remember Arnhem last year, it took me half a song to realise I was really there!
Yes it's addictive. And every concert is special. I couldn't let go of the special feeling last year, but never suspected I could do it all over again this year, better.0 -

Yeah, they've come back so soon and can't believe my luck! I'm gonna try and think positive. But i can't help but worry, it's in my nature.
Bring on the PJ goodness!"This town deserves a better class of criminal... and I'm gonna give it to them."0 -
Whats the best way to get from Nijmegen train station to the park??0

I prefer by foot...Jennytree wrote:Whats the best way to get from Nijmegen train station to the park??0 -
My mum's card ordered the tickets, but the fanclub registration is in my name. So every time I collect the ticket I'm afraid they'll mix up the names or ask to see the card. Didn't happen at Astoria or Dublin, but I'm still nervous about the gigs to come, especially the ones abroad!Rocks wrote:What can go wrong?

The wait to get ticked off the sheet was even worse at Dublin, they lost the last page of the list so couldn't check anyone with a surname T or above. Had to wait 10 minutes for them to print another one. Worst wait ever!Paul

Hey there. I have just setup Nijmegen as an event on Facebook for those of you who use it. I know we can all share our photos etc here after the event, but thought i'd set it up anyway. There are a couple of events setup for other dates on the tour too.
Can't wait to go. Seeing them at Wembly first, supported by my second fav band Idlewild. Nijmegen support is great for me too. Will have to do some research into Satellite Party though as haven't heard any of their stuff yet.Astoria 20/4/06
Reading 27/8/06
Marseille 9/9/06
Wembley Arena 18/6/07
Nijmegen 28/6/07
