I am traveling from the SF Bay Area and looking forward to connecting with other IORR folk pre-show. I participated in a great IORR pre-show party in Mexico City and I’m looking forward to Paris!

Looking for Paris transit info from anyone who knows the system. I’m travelling to the arena from the 9th Arr, near Gare St Lazare or Gare du Nord. Can you tell me the best way to get there, and the latest I can expect to be able to get back by transit? Having trouble sorting the Metro, RER and local trains.
Many thanks!

VERY EASY !!
Go to St Lazare Station (train) or to AUBER station (RER-express métro)
Both will take you to the La Defense station
From there, you'll have a 10 min walk down to the arena

Last RER (Paris bound to AUBER) will leave La Défense quite after 00:30
Trains to St Lazare will also stop quite after 00:30

Keep cool, you'll be fine
Before the show, you will find a few bars around the venue, but not after...
I would recommend coming back to Paris ASAP and enjoy a last drink there

thanks for the advice. we will use both TGV and RER for three days. could you recommend any low-cost ticket for three days´ usage?

Edit: TGV only from CDG airport to center and back..

Congratulations on those who waited it out and got the pit tickets!

Regarding the resale of VIP packages, just a heads up:

TM says the VIP packages are not transferable. Of course, this will be hard to enforce unless they check the name on the ticket.

[m.ticketmaster.fr]

"All packages and package contents are non-transferable"

Take it for what it's worth.

A question for those who had VIP packages before, did they check ID's? For instance, the Amsterdam VIP package had the same disclaimer:

[www.eventtravel.com]

From ticketmaster.fr website [www.ticketmaster.fr]

"Can someone else collect my tickets on my behalf ?"

Someone else may collect your tickets on your behalf, provided you have given him / her
a written consent,
a photocopy of your ID
a photocopy of the credit / debit card used for payment on our website. The 4 first digits and 2 last digits on the face need to be clearly visible (other digits may be blurred).

No need to use TGV from CDG to downtown Paris.
It is RER line B, taking you to Paris
You might consider buying this for 3 days (goes up to 5 days) : RATP Travel Pass

Thank you kindly, Doc! This was exactly the information I needed. And, I downloaded Paris Metro app, which seems to be very useful.

Excellent - thanks Doc!

Hello All,

you can buy ticket for all 3 concerts at uarena hompage again.
No Filter Pit was not available when I checked it.

golden circle available!!!U arena [billetterie.uarena.com]

thanx a lot!!!

got fosse or!

see you in paris!

Paris will be big. 45 pages of pre discussion!

My brother bought tickets to fly in with Air Berlin. Now they are saying they will cancel all flights end of October - the latest. Well, well.

25/10 [billetterie.uarena.com]

22/10 [billetterie.uarena.com]

19/10 [billetterie.uarena.com]

Just tried to buy a fosse or ticket for the 22nd...and got an "Error 11" page after I validated for payment...

Anyone else experience this nonsense? Should I risk rebuying or wait for them to answer my email querry?!

j'ai réussi sans problème à prendre un ticket pour le 22/10. Le site renvoi juste vers ma banque pour confirmation. J'ai imprimé le ticket .

TIckets seem to be plentiful for all 3 shows for Fosse & Fosse Or. Hey ho. Grab 'em before they vanish folks! I'm guessing it's down to unsold packages being broken up.

I'm having the same problem. Maybe because I'm trying to buy from the States?

There is a purchase system where you are supposed to type a code sent by SMS by your Bank to confirm the purchase isn't made by someone who hacked/stole your credit card ID.
Might be an issue for foreign buyers...

Ok, finally was able to purchase a ticket with FireFox instead of Chrome...but I cannot find the "espace personnel"/private space where I go find it? Where the hell is it on their website?!

It may be a reason but it shouldn't - 3D Secure is activated on a card by card basis, when it is not activated a "normal" (unsafe) transaction occurs.

Also some sites dont use 3D Secure (when for instance the paiement is made after shipping).

Final update...despite their confirmation email saying I need to go in my "espace personnel"/"personal area" on their site - which is IMPOSSIBLE to find or just plain doesn't exist - I checked my spam folder and they had send me my ticket in pdf format via a separate email. So make sure to check your spam folder!!!

This was a typically pain in the a$$ French transaction!!!

Keep cool and don't be insulting the French

The espace personnel is hidden on uarena.com far right on the very top behind a key logo

Thanks - was able to get the tix with MasterCard. Wasn't working my Visa card. Appreciate the help!

I would love to upgrade one of my tix but the website isn’t helpful for that. I would call but there is no number on the website. Anyone have a phone number for ticketmaster.fr? Would appreciate it very much.

Hey, as a French citizen, I have the right to complain (and for the record, I didn't insult anyone), c'est dans mon sang!

EDIT: forgot to mention, and on a related note, there were strikes today in France. A fresh new round of strikes is now scheduled for...October 19th. Not sure how badly this will impact public transport (today wasn't bad by French strike standards, but traffic was reduced 50% on one of the RER lines and a few metro stations were closed due to demonstrators):

Thx - no answer. So that must be the right number for Ticketbastards.

Or maybe they’re part of the strike today... will try again in the morning.

Fosse Or now only avaialable for 19th.

Now feeling a bit more hopeful for my Lucky Dips on 19th & 22nd. No doubt the venue will be full by showtime at all 3 shows but there certainly seems to be the usual baiting and switching going on...

Paris DVD? A can't find it but remember that someone mentioned that Paris will be filmed and recorded to be published. Any news about that? Likely?

Hi folks.
Seems to be a lot of speculation about the need for an ID when you enter the venue with tickets bought from other people. It makes me wonder: has anyone ever been stopped and not allowed to enter a show because of this? I have seen the Stones ten times over the years but never been asked for ID...

15 and counting. No stopping. Stockholm next.
