Holy mother of God, this is good. I was going anyway, looking forward to it with Metallica, RAge and Foo's playing. Add in QOTSA and I am one hell of a dancing happy boy right now. That'll make it seing them for the 6th time, in my 5th country:D. That lineup is class(so far).

At €130 a camping ticket, its a steal. Guess I'll be up early for tickets.

Dear sweet Jesus Zondag looks like it'll be a great day! :P
Me and a few mates were thinking of going to this, looks a cracking line up. Anyone ever been?

Mushy, funny enough i thought of you when i saw the lineup this morning, "QOTSA? that mushy guy will be there then;)"

im still 50/50 on this, its cheap and lovelly bands, but they all end at 23:00, and there doesnt seen to much to do after the bands?

seems like Eindhoven is the best way to get to it, only 1.5hrs on the train from there (or 3 from Brussels/Amsterstam)

would be interested if anyone has ever been to this!

Haha, I was going to it anyway, looking forward to it and all, but now its just insane how much I want this day to arrive(either the day of departure or the Sunday). If there was any doubt in my appearance there, its totally gone now, I'm 100% behind this festival now.

I dont care if I cant get much info on it, tradition must start somewhere, so I'll be a forerunner if needs be. Sunday alone is worth €130, without adding Foos, Metallica etc.

Mushy · 13-02-2008 07:05PM

It'll prob be the day before/after(comin home), more than likely to Eindhoven. Festival tickets are so cheap it barely matters that flights could cost around €70:D

Beekay · 13-02-2008 07:12PM

Only prob with this fest is the campsite not opening the night before

Mushy · 13-02-2008 07:25PM

Sure its the same with Werchter. Its no big deal though, just sit outside the campsite overnight, a few (too many) drinks, and you're sorted.

Timans · 13-02-2008 08:12PM

Die Leaving Cert. Die.

So did anyone get tickets for this? Got mine, had to use the German site. Was funny to say the least. €140 incl. of everything....such great value.

Mushy · 16-02-2008 05:33PM

reminds me of Pukkelpop, such great value for so many bands:D!

im having a hard time getting people to go since its very early:(

Go on your own. No doubt you'll meet other Irish heads there:D ie. me and my mates! Although not sure whether that would bring ya much joy:D

NIBBS · 16-02-2008 06:12PM

decent line up.....and not a bad price.......
what is it all in ? I mean with travel too....

NIBBS · 16-02-2008 09:02PM

cheers Mr.S,

and I know trains etc in Holland aren't too dear....

Lemming · 16-02-2008 09:25PM

Got 4 tickets for me and some mates no thanks to ticketw*nker.nl - had to call a music shop in Eindhoven, so they've held 4 tickets and sent out a payment invoice - will need to ring my bank though - no automated payment system. Oh well.

It's going to be a damn fine summer folks

Gerard.C · 17-02-2008 04:16PM

Think this will sell out anytime soon?

That was horrible. I went to the German site then and got them. Was so awkward, what with not knowing german. Thankfully its all paid for now, really looking forward to going.

Mushy · 19-02-2008 03:47PM

Chris Cornell now playing on the Friday too. Thats a really good day. Cant wait to get going.

kmick · 19-02-2008 03:53PM

God I never knew gay people liked heavy metal so much. Is this a new trend?

How do you know the tickets are in the post? Which website did you get them from? As I said, I'd to go to the German one, hopefully they sent them out too.

I got them from a music shop in Eindhoven called bullit whom I rang since their number was listed on the pinkpop website. They sent me out a mail containing both confirmation of payment received & the ticket status.

Gerard.C · 21-02-2008 09:41PM

Where else can you get tickets other than that shop?
