Hope it's ok, with me starting this. I didn't have much going on this morning and decided to check out the Esprit Arena.

Quiet before the storm.

What time you think we should be going to get a sweet spot?

No clue. Besides some workers. I didn't see any fans there. Went into the Tulip Inn to see if they had a room. No luck and knew there wouldn't be, but I had to see. Walked around for a bit. Then went back to the Dusseldorf Hpf and got a room nearby.

I have FOS ronnie's side, but I'm not too crazy about sitting in line all day. Really wish they just sold seats for the FOS.

I've been front row a few times on the Bigger Bang tour. So nowadays, as long as I can hear them pretty good, Im happy.

was the entrance for FOS Ronnie side easy to find?

Ticketmaster and eventim have written mails a few weeks ago:
On some tickets for FOS they might have printed wrong information about the entrance.
The correct ways to the sections are:

1. FOS right: Zugang über Tunnel Ost (tunnel east)

1. FOS left: Zugang über Tunnel West (tunnel west)

2. FOS right: Zugang über Tunnel Ost

2. FOS left: Zugang über Tunnel West

I hope there will not be any chaos like at other venues.

Thanks for the first pic on location! As for standing in line all day, well that can be fun (did it at HP2 last year and got FOS Stage/Catwalk) if you're with a bunch of friends, but if you have FOS it's probably not worth it. In Paris I couldn't be there before 6PM and I still managed to get a spot 1 meter away from the rail halfway along the catwalk on Ronnie's side. Friends who got there at 9.00 AM were 4/5 meters in front of me and they were themselves about 3/4 meters from the front rail...courtesy of the VIP packages ;-)

Chance of showers and Holiday makes the city a little grey. Hope the concert will be fantastic.

Just got back from getting a few shirts. Small lines so far for the arena. As far as the merch tent, you had to walk around back, by the football practice fields. Only a few people in line, this was ~ 14:30.

They had a guy at each line, where people were showing tickets and he was directing them where to go. Seemed pretty easy to figure out, compared to Vienna. Again, not many people there a lil bit ago.

Hope you all have a great show tonight - everyone who's going!

As usual, I'll be looking forward to the reports, updates, photos, etc.

That is a neat pic! Wonder where in Dusseldorf?

Doesn't say Ming, although one person in the comments suggested it was the original honky tonk woman.

I'm leaving now from Maastricht. One hour drive to Dusseldorf. So excited!!!!

1st -> I hope y'all have a great time at the show and I'm looking forward to your reports.

2nd -> Cool photo of the arena. As an American it's interesting to see how little parking there is at the site. I'm assuming that there's a train station close by. On a total side note: Does anyone have an estimate at to what percentage of people take public transportation to the show as opposed to private car?

Peace,
Mr DJA

They have the same beerglasses as in Paris!

Have a great time everybody going.

Will have one eye on the england match and one eye this forum.

Think i will have to put my england rolling stones tongue t-shirt on for tonight.><

Just got in fos links. 6pm. Security outside hugely stressed by everyone running. They must be used to gentle soccer crowds..

Can someone ask how long the Lucky Dip counter is open? We are running late. :-(

Enjoy the show, have a great time
