Re: Who's Up for the Euro Gigs?
 
it is strange sometimes how the tickets sell. Here in holland the 3 concerts sold out, the 5daysoff gig within 3 days or so. The cancelled gig in Gelsenkirchen germany didn't sell enough tickets so the promotor cancelled the whole festival. Luxemburg... ,a very small venue, there still were tickets sold at the door when we got there. But I think it nearly was soldout in pre-sale.

This'l prob sound insane, but I hate flying and reckon I could get to the riga and/or tallin gigs by train, via eurostar to brussels (I've been thro the chunnel several times and it doesn't faze me - going OVER the sea freaks me out!!). Does anyone from the uk want to join me??

well i'm now 99% in...

done some cost analysis - flight from London to Tallinn, (then gig), then boat from Tallinn to Helsinki (just €17!), then another gig and then flight From Helsiinki back to London

works out at around £200

plus hotels and gig tickets, so its looking good for me...

:D

but as i said, with good advertising the gig will be filled with people. although i would much like the gig to be of a smaller "scale", like in zurich for the same 1000 people.

Any chance of meeting up with you for a beer or two between the 4th and 7th of august. I don't want to drink all day all weekend..........:cool:

i guess we dutchies are just a little bit more mad about Underworld than other nations ;)

Hotels weren't that bad in riga when stayed last year (apart from bright orange bathroom suite) but depemds where u stay i guess - fairly cheap though.
I for one am trying to pursuade my girlfriend to get me to Riga for the 19th for my 30th BD pressie :D
not having much luck though :mad: - still early days
