July 18 - Olympic Stadium - Berlin - Page 3

Live Nation press release says there'll be a Gelsenkirchen show but doesn't give a date.

Boozyuzi · 03-16-2009, 06:41 AM

I am a wheelchair user who is thinking about going to the Berlin show. Are there any German speakers on here that would be able to help with information about wheelchair ticketing ? I know that there are about 100 wheelchair spaces in the stadium but I need to know how to go about ordering ? Can i do it online or do I need to phone a specific number ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

They say, that you can see all wheelchair spaces on the plan, but if not you can order them by phone (01805-570 071 ).
Here are some FAQ's: Ticketshop

Thanks for the reply...

The stadium has 174 wheelchair seats that appear to be at the back of the first tier of seating (row 41)

Olympiastadion Berlin

The phone number that you posted - is that for Eventim wheelchair access ? Whats the probability that there are English speakers there when I phone ? Sorry but my German is really bad....

achtung_girl · 03-16-2009, 10:17 AM

You should call this number if the eventim.de seat plan does not show you the wheelchair seats. (although there are obviously some).
I dunno if they have engl. speakers. But I think that will do.

last unicorn · 03-16-2009, 10:34 AM

They should have English speakers.

Btw, I knew you could book wheelchair seats for the Amsterdam concert. I think Eventim.de has an English site as well. I hope it works, good luck!

Hey, I just found this interesting piece of info about the pre-sale times on u2.com:

The Presale schedule is as follows:
Horizon Group - Day 1, Tuesday 10AM (local venue time)
Breathe Group - Day 2, Wednesday 10AM (local venue time)
Boots Group - Day 2, Wednesday 3PM (local venue time)
Presale for all groups ends on Day 3, Thursday 12noon (local venue time)

I'm not sure if Berlin is 1 hour or 2 hours behind Finland!

Does anyone know or where I can find out?

Hey, thanks!

Being at college right now I didn't have time to search for the info myself. So Germany being 1 hour behind means the presale for me will start on the tuesday at 11:00 am, I'll have miss the first couple of lessons from college!!

Hi Helen

Have you been able to get all your ticket so far? What other concerts, except Berlin, are you planning to see?

I have already asked three other people to try and get me/us Berlin tickets, since I'm a little nervous about the general sale

I also want to get tickets for Zagreb which are going to be sold the same day as well. In times like these not being a u2com member makes me a little nervous

I hope there will be a second Germany date after all, right now we don't know if Gelsenkirchen has really been cancelled or if it will take place. We wait for official announcement.

Good luck with all your tickets!

hcbiggs2002 · 03-17-2009, 08:39 AM

Hi Silvia! I'm still waiting for the pre-sale on u2.com for the Berlin concert to start next week, I don't plan on going to any other concerts this year. I could try on buy a ticket for you too, I'm buying one for myself and one for my concert going buddy here in Finland, I'm going to try for GA tickets, failing that then some cheaper seat tickets, I don't want to pay out any more than a 100 € per ticket!

last unicorn · 03-17-2009, 08:44 AM

Helen, I write you a p. m.

Good luck with the Berlin tickets!

Axver · 03-19-2009, 07:18 AM

Good news - the Gelsenkirchen show has been confirmed for the originally posted date, and tickets for both German shows go on sale Friday, 27 March.

^

I have an exam that day ( in the afternoon)...someone has to keep seats free for me lol!

last unicorn · 03-19-2009, 08:11 AM

(not for your exam, I'm so sorry, Anna

)

I'll try to get tickets for that show as well!

hcbiggs2002 · 03-23-2009, 05:55 AM

Hey, hey the pre-sale for the Berlin show starts for the Horizon group tomorrow, and I'm in the Breathe group, so any feedback on how the pre-sale went would be appreciated!

One last tip, if you haven't registered with eventim.de yet, do so today coz that's the site that will be handeling the Berlin tickets and make sure you fill in the form giving your name and address etc. so you don't have to do it on the day when you're buying your tickets! Good luck everyone, hope we all get the tickets we want, i.e. GA's and see in Berlin!!

Do the ticket site give u2.com members a special sale option? When does it start? Because so far I only see the ticket alert on eventim.de.
