I have 2 ga tickets and 2 dips. Is it possible to sell the dips (for dip face value ofcourse) after i picked them up? I only want them if they are pit.

I've got a friend who is looking for a spare Lucky Dip for Dusseldorf at face value. Let me know if you are interested.

I only sell the lucky dip when it is not pit. If they are pit i will use them and have my other 2 GA's for sale (i will sell them for the price of 2 lucky dip tickets). Only sell them in 2. Also depends on if the dips are transferable ofcourse.

one more question;

Confirmation number required to pickup Dips. Is confirmation number the same as Ordernummer ?

This came from Eventim:

the greatest rock and roll band in the world - definitely

PaintMonkeyManBlack,

Can you send me an e-mail please?

Does anyone know of any pre-concert parties or any good bars to visit that'll have good music on before the gig?

Thanks.

The german text in this mail regarding the last point is formulated somewhat different by the way, and provides some extra information, whereas the anti-scalper argumentation is omitted. It says:
"•Sie müssen Ihre Tickets persönlich, zusammen mit Ihrem Gast, abholen. Sobald Sie Ihre Tickets erhalten haben, werden Sie in den Veranstaltungsort eskortiert. Es wird keine Möglichkeit geben, mit Ihren Tickets den Veranstaltungsort zu verlassen."

Translates as:
"•You have to collect your tickets in person, accompanied by your Guest. As soon as you have received your ticket, you will be escorted into the venue. There will be no possibility to leave the venue with your ticket."

FYI.

Additional transport info:
[www.rheinbahn.de]

Rheinbahn-trains (tramway which runs partially underground) will run more frequent and with longer trains on concert day.
Concert tickets will be accepted as valid transport ticket in public transport to and from the venue: bus, tramway, S-bahn and regional trains (no IC & ICE-trains!) within the VRR-area which includes cities as Düsseldorf, Duisburg, Essen, Dortmund, Oberhausen, Wuppertal, Gelsenkirchen, Bochum etc. Cologne is not within the VRR area.

However, for LuckyDippers I don't know if your confirmation e-mail will be accepted as transport-ticket, since that mail is not in fact a concert ticket. To be sure, maybe it's wise to purchuse a ticket for public transport towards the venue. On the way back out, you will have 'real' tickets I presume.

Thanks. We're travelling from Cologne so presumably we just need a ticket from Koln-Dusseldorf and then the concert ticket covers the journey from Dusseldorf centre to the arena and back?

That's right.

Thanks. Do you know of any good bars to go to beforehand in Dusseldorf centre?

I can't say what'll happen in Dusseldorf but so far on this tour, you show your ID and confirmation e-mail to pick up the lucky dips and then you do whatever you want with the tickets - use them yourself, give them away or sell them. No one cares what you do.

Scoreboardpaddock -check out Uerige and Schumacher beer houses,plus there's 3 more similar ones. They make Altbier, which is an Ale. That's what they're famous for besides mustard and probably other stuff I'm not familiar with. Seriously great beer in my opinion.

They sound great, thank you.

Do you know of any bars that are doing pre-concert parties?

No, afraid not. But also you should know there's a strip full of bars where those Altbiers are. Saturday nights are very busy. There's also a record store nearby the action, think it's called Route 66. The whole area is beautiful and it's called the Altstadt if you're not familiar with it.

Trains RE1, RE5 and S6 go from Cologne to Düsseldorf Hbf (=Central Station).

If you take one of these, you just need to buy a ticket from Cologne to "Düsseldorf Benrath". For the rest of the way (Benrath to Düsseldorf Hbf.) your Stones-ticket is valid as railroad ticket.

Or buy in Cologne for the S6 a VRS-Ticket Price-Cat. 3 (RegioTicket, € 5.10) until Langenfeld (Rhineland).

Langenfeld is the southernmost point of the VRR Transport Association, the Stones-Ticket is valid then until Düsseldorf (respectively in the whole VRR area, return journey, 2nd class).

according to eventim (email to Lucky Dippers) the security advices are the same as in Hamburg and Munich

hi folks

need to get another ticket for GA (original cost 150 €) for a friend of mine, does anybody have a link or sth from people who actually can´t go?

best
seb

I bought my tickets from Eventim but didn't get an email with security infos. The info that the security advices are the same in Düsseldorf as they were in Hamburg and Munich contradicts the statement that bags up to 14x21cm are allowed because they were prohibited in Munich too. (of course what I saw inside the arena is a completely different story...). Would anybody be able to upload the file as mentioned: "You can find the bag policy and a list of prohibited items attached for your information."

thank you!
