Rock Am Ring/Rock Im Park 2009

Furious-Red · 05-05-2009 05:02PM

My friend was about to buy tickets on www.tickets-per-post.de for Rock Im Park but she found out you cant buy a ticket with a laser card on the site , just wondering is there anyway around it or has anyone had the same problem or will we just have to find someone with a credit card. Also is that website ok to use , has anyone here used it before?
Cheers

dont know about that site but would she not just use the rock im park site? got the tickets from there within days after booking them the last two years. Most sites dont accept irish debit cards unfortunately so she'll probably have to use someone elses credit card, else she could try using the 3V vouchers which are like temporary visa cards. Not quite sure how they work tbh.

Ive been on the site RIP link to but its all in german so i have to copy and paste everything into a translator but i suppose i would feel more safe since its from RIP. Another question anyone know what a eurocard is ? they have that as a option to pay.

eurocard is just a brand like visa. I know it can be kinda annoying to copy and paste into google translate but theres really not that much to figure out, I think its def the best option. Still havent booked travel myself due to lack of credit card.

She ended up finding someone with a credit card and she used the site i was on about earlier and i did the same for my ticket. it came to €151 including postage etc. Cant wait now just gotta find cheap flights to frankfurt now and will be all set

Cheers for the help --LOS--

Another question

. Just wondering what the differences between the Ryan Air's Frankfurt Airport and Aer Lingus's Airport. Atm the aer lingus flight is looking better due to times because the Aer Lingus one leaves 7am and gets in to frankfurt at 10am so that would give me loads of time to get to Rock Im Park. Is there much difference between airports eg getting into frankfurt city?

I used Frankfurt Hahn to get to RAR last year, Frankfurt Main is actually in Frankfurt where as Hahn is out in the middle of nowhere. I'm guessing if you are looking to get into Frankfurt city then Frankfurt Main is the better option.

Also there are better train connections from Frankfurt Main as it is a much bigger airport than hahn.

Cool appreciate it Beekay thanks for your help. Both Ryan Air and Aer Lingus prices are similar but Aer Lingus has better times , so it looks like its AL for me.
Again cheers for the help

Getting really excited now about RIP now that the college year is over. 4 of us heading to Munich for 3 days first then getting the train to Nuremberg on the Thursday morning. Did RAR last year and it was amazing, had the time of me life over there.

Unfortunately one of the lads has had to pull out of the trip, and its a pain in the arse trying to get rid of his ticket with only a few weeks to go.

Festival being closed by Machine Head then The Prodigy the Slipknot, fantastic stuff..

Thats a good ending to the fest alright, RAR has Limp Bizkit to finish it for me, not great but will be fun to go see them after some good drinking time!!

I'm looking forward to Korn headlining the second stage!

Hey Bo
If your havin an bother gettin rid of your spare RIP ticket I'd happily take it off your hands. Was there last year and its an absolutely awesome festival!

If not, can anyone tell me what the link is to buy tickets off the official page? Can't seem to find it at all. Bought my tickets off metaltix.com last year its a great site for all the Europe festies but they seem to have every other one except RIP!

Furious-Red · 26-05-2009 04:34PM

So whose heading to RIP this year? Its getting close now cant wait

- bo - · 26-05-2009 08:18PM

I am!

6 more sleeps to go! 7.15am flight to Munich Monday morning, and I just booked a place a few hours ago called Jaeger's Hostel for the 4 in our group for 3 nights. It's only 50 metres from the central train station in Munich and happy "hour" lasts from 5.30-8pm apparently, good times :cool:

Been stressed out as hell organising it, last year I had everything sorted out early but this year I'm paying rent and have been skint the past few months so I only booked the flights yesterday and hostel today and chasing people about for money has been a pain in the hole at times. Trying to sort trains between Munich airport/city centre/Nuremberg. And I'd to find a last minute buyer for one of the lads' tickets who pulled out of the trip. Add to this that my passport got damaged and I didn't want to risk not being let go so I'd to spend all this morning in Dublin in the passport office getting an emergency one sorted. Plus trying to get bits of work here and there to scrape together some spending money has been tough!

Don't think I've been looking forward to it as much as Rock am Ring last year but I'm sure by Sunday night/Monday morning I'll be hopping about the place like a mad thing :pac:

Ha sounds like your having fun

. We fly out at 7am on the thursday into to frankfurt and then train it down to Nuremberg and fly out from frankfurt at 9pm on the monday. Cant wait for it

- bo - · 26-05-2009 10:41PM

We flew to Frankfurt on our RaR trip last year and spent a night in it before we headed to the fest. 5 lads and 2 wimmin' in our group and little did I know our hostel (which I booked) was slap-bang in the middle of Frankfurt's red-light district which of course they all thought was pre-planned...

We only met one Irish lad at RaR last year so I'm hoping there's more of us about at RiP, we'll have the obligatory tri-colour I'm sure to try get noticed

leothedrummer · 27-05-2009 01:50PM

Gday people!

I'll be making the trip to Rock am Ring this year, all the way from Australia. After getting tickets though, had a bit of an awkward situation come up, with the fella I was going with not being able to make the first 10 days of our trip. Meaning I won't be meeting up with him 'til the day after Download Festival in England.

So now I'm stuck with a spare ticket and no use for it. I've posted a similar thing on a drumming forum that I frequent and had an Irish member there (username sparkie, real name Mark) point me over to this thread, saying that a few here might be interested in a ticket.

So yeah, anyone want a camping ticket to Rock am Ring?

I don't want money for it, I really have nothing that I can do with this ticket. So if anyone wants to meet up, have yourself a free ticket. The most I would ask for is something as simple as a lift to the festival, or even just a few people to hang out with so I'm not completely alone for 3 days!

Later on in our trip (probably early-mid July), we were thinking of heading up to Ireland, so it would be nice to meet up with some people who wouldn't mind showing a pair of backpackers where the good pubs are!

Anyway, that's where I stand. I'd much rather someone have a good time at the festival with me than leaving it in my bag for 2 months.

Cheers,
Leo

Yea were gonna get a tri-colour aswell and possibly a leinster flag

- bo - · 27-05-2009 07:21PM

If I've a few beers on me and see you with a Leinster flag don't expect me to be very nice to you

I found a plain tri-colour from last year and drew the same as this for when we go see Korn on the Saturday. That one was nicked off us by b*stard security at Download in '07

. Thats one hell of flag anyways , thats pretty crappy that the security took it off ya

Elaineinchains · 28-05-2009 03:34AM

Yeah! Flying out this day week from Kerry to Frankfurt for Rock Im Park..cannot wait!
Went on my own last year but was due to meet up with a gang from college who went on a different flight but we never ended up meeting. Instead I joined up with a gang from Kilkenny and Meath and a few English guys and had the best craic ever!

We had a few spare tent poles so raised the tricolour up on that about 10 ft high and a load of people just flocked to our tent it was class!

Will definitely be doing the same this year so if ya see us come over for a beer! Couldn't get over the amount of Irish at RiP last year so hope this year is the same!

Also...just been looking up Slipknots setlist from their last couple of gigs and its lookin sexy! Finally get to see them for the first time after bein a fan for a good six or seven years!!!:p

Nice.

I'll be hoisting the Aussie flag as a welcome invitation for anyone who wants a drink, and I'll keep a look out for yours as well!
