Will Heathrow Express be affected by the strike though? Are their workers part of it?
Forum: Tell Me

QuoteGreen Lady I don't know whether the new stage is cheaper to make, transport and run, but it certainly looks cheap and nasty. Once the lights are down and the stage is in action most of the uglier bits are less obvious, but why (apart from cost) they thought it was a good idea to replace the simple and effective No Filter screens I have no idea. What I heard they don't actually

Great, I arrive on June 23 and have booked the Heathrow Express already. I guess I'll have to take the Elizabeth Line to Paddington instead, because looks like the tube would not be on strike on June 23.

Yeah, it totally was Mick's game in Munich. I have to agree with PaintMonkeyManBlack's overall review of the show, meaning the show was really good, not great. As said before, the sound, at least in the pit, was really good and crispy. Enough has been said about the LD shambles in Munich, I just hope that never happens again.

Quoteschwonek QuoteTopi I guess in Paris they will only accept cheques! I just hope that Sweden will accept Credit Card in the venue. I will arrive just in time to pick up my lucky dips and will not bring Swedish money. You will be fine. Swedes are the pioneers of cashless commerce.

They opened another window but that only happened after 8 PM. Way too late.

It totally did make up for everything! I just told myself to remain calm and not stress out. It was nothing I could control anyway. Hope the LD process is smoother the rest of the way!

A funny thing to note about the LD pickup fiasco last night just hit me: I only got my tickets by the time the Stones were already playing 19th Nervous Breakdown. And then I got my Rocks Off as we finally walked in at about 9 PM. Coincidence, I'm sure!

The people in the front floor seats just stood up and moved around freely around the aisles and on to the rail (yes, there was a kind of a rail on top of the barrier ) Nobody stopped them. I saw barely any security on the floor to begin with.

BTW one of the contributing factors for the LD pickup chaos in Munich was that there were several people in the LD line trying just to buy tickets from the box office. That definitely played a role in the delay. I heard a lot of people standing in the line asking what LDs were and when they realized (late) that they were in the wrong line they went over to the "Abendkasse" (regular box

Quoteslewan QuoteTroubadour Since it will be very uncomfortable in Munich tonight due to the weather: Did you have the feeling that you have better PIT chances in the Lucky Dip raffles if you come earlier to get your tickets? Do you think you really have to go to the stadium as soon as you have the tickets or can you go for a meal or a walk until the concert starts? Best regards Michael

In Munich they were sky blue. I can post a photo later. Doesn't really matter, nobody actually checked your LD band. All they cared about was your ticket.

Agreed the sound was top notch.

Great to hear Out Of Time and Connection! BTW, totally worth buying two pairs of Lucky Dips over two different accounts/e-mail addresses. No problem picking both them up at the same time (no, the box office does not care). My better pair was the Pit A tickets. The other envelope, which I gave away for free, to a young German couple, college kids - it was side seats. I didn't even open tha

8;10 PM and I am still lining up to get my LDs. Pathetic.

LD counter not open yet, hopefully in the next 15 minutes. Me and PaintMonkeyManBlack are here under the Plexiglass cover with hundreds of other people, I don't know if they're all LD buyers or just people waiting out the worst rain. Hard to tell where the actual queue for the LDs ends, looks a bit messy at the moment.

Good morning, Munich! Managed to sleep in after a bit of a late night last night (Got to bed at around 2 AM...). Glad the hotel has the breakfast extended until noon. Yesterday at the Olympiapark I ran into schwonek and his son, who are staying at the same hotel. Lots of Stones fans here, which is no surprise, because it's only a 20 min walk from the venue. Fingers crossed for
