July 18 - Olympic Stadium - Berlin - Page 6

15€. What a rip off. Well, 10 was much as well. It's normal shipping, no express.
I would love to go to the other sure but I don't think I could commit to that. It's during the week.

The Italian site where I bought the Milan tickets charged me 19 euros for shipment.

Aw, crap you can't go and see more shows, but I'm sure Berlin will be fantastic.

I could try and get to some shows on the weekends. Except for that I'm not sure. I would have to ask since I'm doing my internship. If it was just uni I would skip it, but well, it's not.

FUCK!! I missed it. How do they describe GA? The English site doesn't even list the U2 show!

I'm sooo happy.

80€ though, 70€ for the ticket, 9.90€ for the shipping. But nevermind, it's fucking awesome GA tickets.

Hey that's great!

It's gonna be wonderful to meet all of you in Berlin and enjoy U2 surrounded by true blue (no pun intended

) U2 fans, absolutely fabulous!!

Innenraum Stehplatz = Field/Pitch GA

achtung_girl · 03-27-2009, 07:32 AM

I need a GA ticket!!! If someone has a ticket left over...please let me know!

Vincent Vega · 03-27-2009, 07:34 AM

Oh shit. Had I known, I would've reserved a second one. I'm sorry.

But good luck!

last unicorn · 03-27-2009, 07:40 AM

Yeah, Anna, sad to hear. So you should have reserved a Berlin ticket yesterday after all. Or I could have reserved you one. Hope you'll get a ticket somehow.

I went to 3 stores but they only had a few GA tickets for Gelsenkirchen...cause most people here want to go there of course...
That was stupid

passanis · 03-27-2009, 08:47 AM

Do we know for certain that the stage will be on the "left side" of the stadium and not centered? I ended up with seats on the right side. Hope the view is decent for the $$$.

achtung_girl · 03-27-2009, 09:20 AM

I'm looking for seats now too. I think the stage will be on the left.

achtung_girl · 03-27-2009, 10:34 AM

Finally I have a seatticket now. There are only very few cheap seats to get. Most of them are in section 30-40... on the right side! Finally I found one in section 16, this on the left. I think that's better than nothing and my travel costs are already very high!

Vincent Vega · 03-27-2009, 10:37 AM

Oh, I hoped you could get a hold of a GA ticket somehow. Are you trying to get a 29€ ticket with the Bahn?

I don't have to be at work all the time.

achtung_girl · 03-27-2009, 10:51 AM

^No looks like there will be no GA tix anymore. And the seats are all kinda bad seats for a high price, and this one was ok. I dunno...
Yeah, exactly! I need that train ticket!

cathalmc · 03-27-2009, 01:08 PM

I got €40 tickets to both Berlin and Gelsenkirchen just now. Had to keep refreshing the pages cos they periodically say the cheapie seats aren't available.

The €34 admin fee is the same for one ticket or two! What's the minimum hourly wage in Germany? That must be about five hours of admin for my two tickets

Vincent Vega · 03-27-2009, 02:18 PM

We don't have an official minimum wage. The worst paid jobs are €3.50 an hour, most student jobs are around €5 and €8, and everything else about €1o.

What seating categories are these cheap tickets in?

cathalmc · 03-27-2009, 02:31 PM

Unofficially I'm sure they're in the crap seats category. Officially they're in these.

Berlin:

Seat category: Sitzplatz

Block 38.2

Gelsenkirchen:

Seat category: Sitzplatz

Erdgas Tribüne

Can you translate? Does it mean "tight bastard seats"?

do you have a seat plan?

edit: oh ok, I just saw you already bought those...

Vincent Vega · 03-27-2009, 02:58 PM

Yes, pretty much. At least in Berlin. As you can see here: http://www.olympiastadion-berlin.de/...e_72dpi_01.jpg block 38.2 is in the far Eastern corner. So if the stage is located more to the West you are pretty far away. Worse in Berlin even, since being an Olympic stadium you have quite some space in between the field and the blocks.

The Erdgas Tribüne (natural gas gallery) belongs to Gazprom. Pretty much tight bastard.

Pretty much the same as in Berlin location wise.
You might want to bring binoculars.
