Wacken Open Air Festival???

Karl Hungus

Who was it who was going???
And what were the flight details and things???

I need those again...

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

when's it on? who is playing? and how do I get there

I don't suppose blind guardian / iced earth are playing?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

oh OH ohOHOHOH!

I am SO going there
hammerfall, helloween, nightwish, rage!
no blind guardian but they will do me
now all I have to do is get money, and people to go with

Karl Hungus

****...

It doesn't look like I'll be going now...
I have cash flow problems, and it looks like it's going to cost quite a lot to get there...

Personaly, I'd LOVE to see Dimmu Borgir and Nightwish...

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

sux
there is an option at argon-direct.com for the festival.. £75, incl bus, ferry, and hotel for the two/three nites, and brekkie

don't think it covers the ticket too though....
, tis cheaper if you camp too.. not sure how much, 'twould be on the site

Karl Hungus

Yeah, I checked out Argon events...

Thing is, you'd have to pay as much to get to where the pickup point is in England, and that aint too good...

Oh, and the price does include the ticket.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

it does? cool

hrm.. I hadn't really looked into getting over to england yet.... ferrys are fairly cheap aren't they?
hrm
must look into that

Karl Hungus

Yeah, they're pretty cheap, but you'd find a flight that's just as cheap if you book over the internet...

Try Ryan air, I got a flight for less than £50, and at pretty ****ing short notice...

Do Ryanair fly to Hamburg? I booked a flight from Stanstead to Hamburg for £100 with Lufthansa. You can get it cheaper but there's 12 of us going. Just waiting to get a cheap flight Dublin to Stanstead on Ryanair. There's a number to get tickets cheap from Germany on the Waoken-open-air site. Don't buy them off Argon unless you're doing the full package - the mark up is nearly 100%.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

well yeah I was going to get the full package...
but I'm not sure now.. (a) because the people i had to *maybe* go just told me that they can't go
and (b) well, if flying over is cheaper...

damnit
I need more mettler friends

I know people who went with Argon on the package last year and would never do it again. It's a military style operation - you miss the warm-up night (one of the best) and you have to leave early. Plus the journey is a ****in nightmare. Go to ebookers.com and try and get yourself on the 1.30pm flight to Hamburg from Stanstead on 2 Aug (can't guarantee there'll be any cheap tickets left). There were loads of metallers on it last year. We were sitting beside Napalm Death. Great craic.

Karl Hungus

Doesn't look like I'll be going at all at this stage, but I was going to book through argon events.

Thankfully I didn't...

Anyway, lads... Have a good time without me.

And, what were Napalm Death like?

Tazz T

Well, it was only a one and a half hour flight but they managed to drink a helluva a lot more than me. Thats saying something.

Now that is serious.
