LikeASong Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 OMG!!! I've sneaked INTO the Las Ventas bullring ant took abundant footage of the stage being built (yes, it's not finished yet!)... I went there after my job ended so I was well dressed (shirt and suit trousers), and I speak a very good english so I didn't hide myself: I just passed myself off for a staff member!! I wandered around some dressing rooms, corridors and the like, and then I saw a gate that pointed to the actual ground of the bullring. I headed myself to there and then I came out into the stage being built!!! There are still a lot of cranes and machine operators, but the basic stage structure is visible. I was thrown out (pretty roughly) when they saw me taking lots of pics with a huge grin in my face hahahaha :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3: I will share the pics when I get home! The stage is not built yet but there is some interesting stuff there. Hold on for a few hours! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LikeASong Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 How late are the subways running till at night? Is it easy to catch cabs at night? Jason Subways run until past 1:30AM, so they can be catched no problem after the concert (it should end by 00:00 or 00:30 if they run late)... Nevertheless, we should expect a human-flood at the subway after the show :P And there is absolutely NO problem catching cabs at night, specially on big events like concerts. There will be plenty of cab drivers waiting at the outside of the venue for you all ;) The problem is that a cab to, let's say, Puerta del Sol (the pure centre of the city) could be around 9-12€ (15-18 US $)... If you're keen to pay that, then I recommend you to pick up one, it's the most convenient way of transporting through the city at night. I'm still excited for having sneaked into there! The stage is going to look amazing, I promise you all :) I might repeat the experience tomorrow, when the stage is finished (or almost), although I think the security will be even higher... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Anton Corbijn was on a big Dutch talk show kinda TV program thing (De Wereld Draait Door) tonight. He talked mostly about U2 and Achtung Baby, but also about this live stream and they showed a cute black and white clip of him and Chris, with Chris playing a Nick Cave song on the piano. I'll try and see if I can find the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
