And Dutch fans are much crazier than lazy Germans.

I'll second that

MJ if they end up adding a date in Holland are you still going to a Germany show?

I think so, yes

After Hannover there is the concert in Horsens, August 15. It's close to where I'm from. But since no one else seems to be going I could skip that.

Who says no-one is going to Horsens?

 

[BonosBaby12]

I will have to talk to Natalia before I can make any promises regarding my appartment for ~5 people.

No problem that's very respectful

I better start running.

 

[JanuaryStar]

I better start running.

You are forgetting about me

 

[BonosBaby12]

I better start running.

Hope you have a good pair of running shoes You should go to the concert that's near you!

 

[JanuaryStar]

what's up with rotterdam? no rumors yet?

Nope. But my bet would be if they do come here that they wouldn't come to Rotterdam anyway, another city maybe

 

[Vincent Vega]

You are forgetting about me

I wasn't sure if you were in.

Well, we can't go if we have guests from oversees who are visiting for the first time.

My legs are longer.

I wasn't sure either. But I wasn't sure that I wasn't, either. So I'm still not sure now. Still follow me?

Anywhere you go.

 

[JanuaryStar]

Anywhere you go.

That's good Remember our runaway plan?


Ok now I think we're derailing the thread. Carry on, people! A lovely band coming to a special place called Frankfurt next year

 

[Vincent Vega]

My backpack is always ready.

I know that lol. Was saying that if you really wanted to go I could personally change some plans around.

what's the alternative? I'm obsessed with the idea that I could go to a lot of gigs that are in driving distance...Hannover, Ffurt, Paris...and holland!

bruxelles! 1,5hrs. is this stadium any good?

 

[Vincent Vega]

It better!

Oi, just checked airfare for the days I'd want to go, ATL to Frankfurt is almost $2000.

Wow I thought a little over a $1000 from Chicago to Frankfurt was bad

 

[Vincent Vega]

Unfortunately, August is still in the season so prices are a little higher.

 

[ntalwar]

I think it's way too early to lock in a fare. I'd wait 4-6 months.

 

[last unicorn]

I can't even book a flight to Frankfurt now, it's too early

I also checked connections from Rome to Frankfurt, just in case Rome really happens before Frankfurt, and that should work fine, so I'm tempted. It would be quite a trip. Of course I'll take Hannover then, too.

And I'll go to Munich by train, I love the stadium, the accoustics is much better than in most other stadiums. I just hate those damn endless stairs

 

[redhotswami]

Yeah I won't be booking anything anytime soon. But I might at least solidify hotel dates after the presale.

 

[ntalwar]

If you have any recommendations of places to go and things to do, please share! Also, if you have any pics of the area that you took yourself, feel free to post. I'd like to stay there for at least 1 or 2 days before the show. After that show I'll probably head straight to Hannover.

I probably didn't explore as much as I could have, due to jet lag. They have river boat cruises, and I visited some towns outside the city which have the older architecture. They also specialize in eiswein. Downtown has a good pedestrian area for restaurants, etc.

Most of the downtown looks modern:



But they also have some older buildings:






But the outer towns have more:

I'm glad that I tried it out at least once before the u2 concert

Wait those stairs lead down to the Munich field? Ummmm thanks but no thanks! lol

 

[achtung_girl]

^Hahaa!
I think the worst thing about it is that the stairs are very small, you can’t even set your feet on it. But there are still people who fear nothing and ran like it’s a normal GA entrance. I was like, what? I waited all day in line and now this? It was really hard to see all the people who were already on the field while you’re high up in the stairs and the number of stairs you still have to go just do not decrease…it is endless. I think for u2 it’s gonna be a real mess. (I just hope they won’t let too many people on the stairs again.)

 

[BonosBaby12]

Would have been nice to have been warned ahead of time about the stairs! Im sorry but that is sheer craziness with trying to run on those damn things. Hope they use their heads with how many they let on the stairs at a time.

 

[anjarw]

I'm definitely avoiding GA in Munich this time, I still have a trauma of screaming for help at the top of my lungs last tour. It was insane! so either seats or I'll just go there after doors open.

 

[last unicorn]

I have been to a couple of concerts in the Munich stadium, including U2 in 2005, I know about the stairs and I'm still scared whenever I see them. I'm not a good runner, and if I have to run down those stairs I just start to panick. The best thing is: Do not look down to the field while running, look at your feet and at every single step you're taking, otherwise it will be very dangerous, because you see all the people running into the FOS area and still have so many steps in front of you. It's just

After reading all these posts, I'm wondering: Is anybody who is planning to go the Frankfurt gig actually LIVE in Frankfurt?
