German Dates!

All-seating venues are really stupid for rock concerts... on the other hand, you can arrive half an hour before the gig without having to stand in the queue.

Well, It's obvious they are expecting the audience to be mostly elderly!
(Which is understandebly, not all younger fans might be able to pay for those insane high ticketprices anyway)

Jeroen, the standing tickets might well be at the back of the hall behind the seats, I don't know. Surely, you won't be able to stand in front row when people have paid the most expensive tickets to sit there. I'll post more details when I find them - thanks to the German FC.

AAAARRRGGHHHH! Standing places BEHIND the seats!!

The Horror!
The Horror!

(to be honest, I'm getting a bit fed up with all those weird things an vagueness surrounding this tour... :-S

How many concerts are you planning to attend Barb and Scully? How many are the rest of you planning on attending?

I will make a final decision next week but as I said, I will certainly be in Vienna, Munich and Prague. Most likely also in two of these cities: Leipzig, Frankfurt and Dortmund. Not sure about the rest of the tour... I want to see at least 6 gigs for sure.

If the Belgium and Dutch dates are correct (which I assume) and if everything goes as planned and hoped, I'll end up at 7 or 8 shows...
(Which ought to be my max! Any adittional shows will make that I'll skip another. -At least, that ought to be my intention! ;-)

-Brixton (fingers crossed! ;-)
-Paris
-Milano
-Frankfurt
-Antwerp
-Rotterdam
-Rotterdam again
-Dortmund
(-Dublin, if there will be one...)
(-Switzerland, if there will be one...)

I know it's insane, but I don't care! I've waited long enough for this, it's once in a life-time an my current situation makes it possible for me... No summerholidays this year ;-)

I don't think its insane! I think if its what you want to do with your time and money then you ought to go! You only live once.

I wish I could go to that many gigs. I have children I have to provide for so I won't be able to spend that much of my money on Queen. I'm going to try as hard as I can to see one show. I'll be coming from the US so it'll cost a pretty penny!! I think it'll be worth it!

Lisser, I think if you pay so much for a plane ticket, you should see more concerts than just one. If plane + 1 concert = $800, then plane + 2 concerts = $900 - not much difference.

Think I'm with Martin here! Pick some close dates...
Imagine they don't tour the states and you'll never see them. You'll regret it for the rest of your life!

Wasn't it you who said, you only live once? ;-)

I say 'go girl'!!

That would be the right way to think but I do not pay for plane tickets...I fly for free, anywhere that Delta flies, I fly for free. I do only get 6 international legs a year for free though. I've never used any of them.

If one doesn't speak German well, how are they supposed to order tickets online?

Strangely enough, the nearer the shows come (and I mean really near, one is about ten minutes by bicycle from my flat... I'd never have dreamed that this could ever happen), and the more I think about the ticket prices, for this strange band that we are gonna see, with twice as many people in it who have nothing to do with Queen than Queen-members, and after reading Zeni's post about how ticket prices are set, the more sceptical I am, and the more afraid of being disappointed by this whole enterprise. To me, a concert must be really fucking good to justify more than 50 Euro ticket prices. It's almost impossible to justify that, and I'd never think about flying across the Atlantic for this... you guys are really crazy :) But I don't want to discourage you. I probably couldn't anyway. I wish I had something to judge what the concerts will be like: an album, previous shows, a line-up...

I got a standing ticket for the Munich concert. Does anybody know where this area is located? I assumed that was in front of the stage, but somebody has suggested that is at the back!!!!!. How can be that possible?

The standing area is the complete parterre which is not divided into blocks. You have a standig ticket when the description in your receipt does not specify a row and seat. It's a first come -first row ticket.
