Lucky Dip? Obviously a mistake but maybe we can figure out the eventim link for tomorrow that way...

I think we'll get the LD-Links as usual via [RollingStones.com] . It's possible to play around with the URL - but it's useless when you cannot put a Ticket into the cart or finish the payment.

As I said, I'm happy with the seats we got, but I'm kinda curious about the Lucky Dips, but I'm also a bit afraid cause what if we won't get rid of the "worse" tickets then? :/ I mean, sure it is a Stones show but you never know...in Stuttgart in 2018 loads of people were still looking for tickets, but in Munich in 2017 loads of people tried to sell theirs and it would suck if we had two tickets per person...so idk whether to even suggest that idea to my friend...but I'm still curious hahaha

In Bern the LD link in the Google cache ends with wankdorf-15019957 - and the reguar one ends with wankdorf-14963704 - so I assume LD will just have a different event ID that we can't really figure out before hand. Not like ?did=lucky...

obviously a mistake – and I don't believe that Koelnticket will have LDSs. Usually LDs are only sold via the main ticket seller in each country

I work in ticketing and know that: once you set up an event there is always a slight chance that the "data" leaks into other systems even if you don't want your event to go online - espcially when you want 9 out of 10 events to go online. So I am guessing the LD are setup and the link is already active but as Irix said you wont be able to buy it before tomorrow.

...got "Silver-Pit" for Gelsenkirchen... you can't imagine how excited I'm...

there is not official time when LD tickets are put on sale since LD tickets are some kind of secret. Sometimes they go on sale a couple of minutes after normal tickets are available. Sometimes it takes much longer. LD tickets for the show in Berlin in 2014 were put on sale even a day after the regular tickets were put on sale

Thanks for the info!

Good morning. LD are on. Sale to start soon.

'soon' is relative. As far as I remember eventim starts at noon

Just try every hour. I have seen weirder thing happening than the sale starting early

Countdown

Very smooth buy! Lucky dipping this one too!

Got 'em!

Easy Buy!

Scored LD, quick and easy.

Looking at the map most of the tickets are gone.

MadMat...

What can you advise about a train from Essen to VELTINS-Arena-?
Essen is the closest hotel I could find.

Will the train from the arena to Gelsenkirchen HBF, and then to Essen, still be running after the concert?

Thank you.

From Essen to Gelsenkirchen with the train is no problem. Many trains from the main station Essen to Gelsenkirchen and back.

From the Main Station in Gelsenkirchen to the Veltins Arena is the best way by "Tram". You will see. Many people take the tram to the Stadium. And back the same.

Straßenbahn (Tram) # 302

I don't know... how about you?

I'm trying to get tickets for the Silver Pit Stehplatz or even the Stehplatz behind that.

But it always says: "Zurzeit nicht verfügbar". And that's since Monday... I just don't get it.

Anybody?

I would check the eventim site from time to time. They now try to sell the expensive packages. So after a while there might pop up regular standing tickets again.
And check here: iorr ticket trade. I got my tickets there for two shows years ago (for face value).

Thanks, MAF, I'll check again. And again.

Any tips for parking in Gelsenkirchen?

There is plenty of parking space directly at the Arena. As the 'autobahn' is close, to, getting away after a football match or concert isn't too bad.
Many people use public transport, too, so that there are less people coming by car than to a stadium that is far out of town.

I will provide further Information regarding which parking lot to use best and how to pay for drinks and food in the Arena etc. closer to the event.
