Re: FOS available at www.getgo.de

If you visit the german webpages getgo and eventim, you'll be put on hold.
Fortunately I live near the german border, so I sneaked out of the office today and drove (easily, I refused to get stressed this time) to the neareast ticket shop across the border, near Aachen.
Waiting in line were: 1 person returning a theater ticket for the opera; 2 people informing about a Queen musical, and me.
So I bought 2 Cologne field tickets at 82,50 euros each, no further extra costs!
Drove back to find the internet booking sites still overtrafficed.
FOS was sold out by the way, but I didn't really mind. I'll settle near the b-stage.
Kartenhaus.de in the meantime is not able to link you to public sales pages.
So I spent 165 euros.
Had I bought the same tickets some days ago in the presale, this would have cost me an extra 6,5 shipping, 19x2 service costs, 90 membership = 300 euros.
Had I been able to go a few hours earlier, I would have been able to buy FOS, had I wanted to. So it seems buying local tickets through presale is not really necessary for Germany.
And at the ticketoffice they show you on their screen a seating plan of the stadium! (Handy, because if you think the 170 euros tickets will get you FOS, you're damn wrong.)
