GA single lucky dip for me too, I heard the very good concert, but haven t seen anything. And about the organization how to say… worst one I have ever seen, only one entrance in the middle of the two announced… I could have sold easily my tix between the desk 1 to get my real ticket and the real entrance one hour queeing (again) after… This ruined my experience. Disappointed.

QuoteTopi I know the official capacity was listed as 50K by various sources, news articles and websites, not just Viagogo. And yes, if they oversold and by how much, they'll hardly admit it. 50 000 were announced, 55 000 went to Longchamp according to this magazine:

I think there are two entrances: because it's written on the documentations, because the taxi/VTC are at this side, the shuttle to Porte Maillot too, and because the office for the lucky dips is entrance 1. As we know and written on our email, when lucky dippers got their tix, to avoid black market they are "escorted directly in the venue". So impossible to let them go out of the v

Quotegotdablouse Thanks, I didn't realize there was that big of a difference between walking from Line 10 and Line 9, but 10 minutes out of 30 is indeed a large difference ! Attention, for those who choose to go by métro "Jean-Jaurès", for the return you have to change at Michel-Ange-MOLITOR from the line 10 to line 9 if you go toward the direction Mairie de Montreuil.

Quotegotdablouse Wonder what the best M9 station would be, Ranelagh maybe and then go for the "Boulogne" entrance. A bit of a trek, about 30 minutes. Not a problem on the way out but could be to get back home if you have a connecting RER to catch ! In my ex-Boulogne opinion: get off at Marcel Sembat line 9 and take bus 123 to the "Hôpital Ambroise Paré" stop just below Bou

QuoteMRAmandaJones In 1995, the entrance was Route de Sèvres. The concert took place in the south part of the hippodrome, and not in front of the hippodrome grandstands. Some grandstands had been build on the lawn. Thank you, so the entrance is the one on Goooglemap that I quoted.

For me to see the stones on stage without Charlie would be a huge heartbreak. Especially now that I know he won't be coming back. Can you imagine how heartbreaking it will be to see a concert in a few weeks with a tribute? Everyone will cry!
