Is there a FOS area in Bergen? I am offered FOS tickets for the show - I thought there is VIP (= Golden Circle), and general admission standing...
Thanks for help
Susan

Yes, Norwegians please tell us, is there FOS in Bergen?

I would say the FOS area is the Gold Circle as that is all that shows on the plan.

That's right. FOS in Bergen is Gold Circle. On Ronnie-side only. But then, Keith usually takes some walks over to Ronnie's side, too! I bought the Golden Circle tickets before I knew this...

Of course. The golden circle is NOK 2000 which is 250 Euro. Hot ticket indeed for the smallest crowd in Europe. See the "venue" map: [bergenlive.no]

PS. Ronnie side is for sure the place to be, unless you fancy Darryl and brass mainly. Keith normally stays with Charlie or Ronnie these days. Not so often on "Keith" side. And Ronne never move, usually at his spot very concentrated. I am talking about the ABB tour. Seen a few shows.

OK, Bjørnulf. The tickets cost 2190... And I'm glad I bought them. And I've seen a few Bigger Bang-shows, too. 9 so far... But I'm having abstinenses now. Too long since I saw them. Fortunately - Milan - it's not long now. 28 days.

I got mine from Am.Ex. at 2000 sharp. May be 2050. May be because I spend a fortune on my amex. But I think all Norwegian amex customers got that offer. Just phone then if you have an amex card. I think they have returns. FOS too.

What I am wondering about is: are there seats? I am in row 24 and have received a seat number from what I remember. Hoping there won´t be seats, but that everyone stands... During the last two tours I have had people complaining at my standing throughout the show and that is why I have now bought floor tickets this time! :-)

Sounds very strange to me if you have a reserved seat printed on your ticket. As far as I know, the crowd will be all standing - and there will be no seats at all.

Some times they put up a VIP seated area usually at a remote spot at the side. I don't think there will be one in Bergen but they have it some other places. Like they had it in Prague 2003. Very expensive seats but not close to the stage. The Golden Circle cost N. kr 2000 or so i.e. 250 Euro so if you paid less you will not be uf front and if you paid more somebody cheated you I suppose.

Think this is the only place to put up a seat section at Koengen:



BTW.
In a mail from "bergenlive.no" they said that the
"illustration" are just preliminary and that they
for sure will arrange it so that the "Gold Circle"
will cover the front on both sides and not only
on Rons side as shown now.

I heard that the gold circle will be on both sides.
Red it somewhere on Tell Me.
Don't know if it's true.

It's written in the post above.

ha ha. But the map above... That's the one that had me worrying. I'd done my homework.

I didn't see that post...
That's typical of me.
But I hope it won't cover the whole area between the stage and b-stage.
I was hoping to get close to the 'catwalk'...

Let's hope they'll come up with an updated map.

Are there special tickets for the sitting area on the left of the stage?

I have an appointment to speak with Bergen-fest tomorrow (The guys who booked the Stones) on another matter. I'll ask them and shall post their answer here.

What should the tickets say (in Norwegian) for FOS - I bought off the fan club as soon as they were available, top price, but can see no words about this,,,,, maybe I need to learn some Nordic language

I have got the following information from the official organizers BergenLive.

There are no seats at all, it is all standing. For some strange reason those tickets printed out by the Postal Offices in Norway have got seat and row numbers. But there are no such seats/rows. And they have no way of notifying these ticket buyers as they have no contact info. Those tickets are of course valid as a general entrance ticket for the show, at the given category as shown on the ticket. But it will be a great show anyway, no worries.

Bjornulf

Great. Nobody should sit down during a concert anyway...

I cannot see any "category" on my tickets - or seats or rows!!

Tusen takk Bjørnulf, that is what I hoped to hear! I did buy my tickets at the Post Office. Then I will make my way as much up front as I possibly can. ;-)

I am sure there is a price on your ticket. And that price is one of those listed on the IORR Bergen page: [iorr.org] ...
So then you know if you are in the Golden Circle, in the big middle area, or in the lower priced one at the rear.

Bjornulf

We paid 1100, so not the best places (i.e Gold Circle) for us...but that was what we could afford! It will be great no matter what. I have had worse places to stand before. :-)

I just saw someone selling tickets, with entrance B on them..
Is that correct?
Thought there were two types of tickets, Gold Circle (FOS) and Main area.

But are there other types too?
