Who else is going with you Sarah? :) Sadly I will probably arrive around 3pm. I've got an appointment at my university this morning and it was the only date available. Btw, do you wait at the North gate or at the South? I read somewhere (I think LittleMissMessy mentioned it) that the stage will be located at the North side of the stadium...

Aaaah yesterday the weather was sooo wonderful and today? It's raining! Gnaah! :( And it doesn't look good for the next couple of hours either... http://www.wetterspiegel.de/de/europa/deutschland/5.html Nevertheless, it's the day of the day! Can't wait! :D

Also laut VRR fährt die letzte U-Bahn um 02:15 Uhr! ;) Bin mir aber auch nicht 100 %ig sicher. Hab noch nie die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel in Düsseldorf benutzt! :D

Hast du auch wirklich beim VRR (http://www.vrr.de) nachgeguckt? Wenn ich auf der genannten Seite oben rechts die Esprit Arena sowie den Düsseldorfer Hauptbahnhof eingebe, zeigt mir die Seite an, dass jeweils um 23:27, 23:37, 23:47 Uhr usw. die U-Bahnlinie U78 verkehrt. ;)

Wow, that sucks! When were you supposed to take the bus/train/car to Hannover? :\ In regard to the weather... now it seems that we'll get some thunderstorms tomorrow evening. :( Boooh! So don't forget your rain coat.

Danke für die Info! :)

Weißt du zufällig, wann man diese 5€ zahlen muss? Gleich direkt bei der Einfahrt oder macht man das erst nach dem Konzert an so nem Kassenautomaten? :)

Ich war erst am überlegen nicht doch mit der Bahn statt mit dem Auto nach Düsseldorf zu fahren (da stressfreier und klimafreundlicher), aber dank der total überteuerten Ticketpreise der DB wurde mir die Entscheidung letztendlich doch einfacher gemacht als gedacht. :rolleyes: Werd wohl jetzt gegen 16 Uhr in Düsseldorf ankommen. Muss wahrscheinlich bis 12 Uhr arbeiten (Ferienjob) und will danach erst noch nach Haus und etwas essen bevor es in Richtung NRW geht. Stimmt es, dass der nicht mal asphaltierte Parkplatz an der Esprit Arena stolze 5€ (!!!) kostet? Das ist jawohl die größte Abzocke oder? Frechheit! Naja, was nimmt man nicht alles in Kauf... ;) Glaubt ihr die spielen dieses Mal "Talk" ganz, also nicht nur auf dieser komischen B-Stage? Düsseldorf ist immerhin die Heimat von Kraftwerk! :P

Also der beste Wetterdienst in Deutschland ist meiner Meinung nach mit Abstand der von Wetterspiegel.de. Laut denen soll es am Dienstag so aussehen: http://www.wetterspiegel.de/de/europa/deutschland/niedersachsen/1142x27-d4.html Aber ich denke es ist noch viel zu früh darüber zu spekulieren. Am Sonntag kann man wohl erst sicherere Aussagen machen. :)

Another link... http://www.tv2nyhetene.no/snop/coldplay-pa-scenen-2866574.html :)

Well, I think someone already posted this link, but here you can find more information about the setlist. ;) http://www.bt.no/kultur/konsert/Hyllet-Michael-Jackson-910946.html Seems like it's nearly the same as in Herning, isn't it?

Well according to German railway (bahn.de) who also operates a few lines within the Netherlands there's a local train at 00:41 hours from Nijmegen towards Amsterdam... sadly the train ends in s'-Hertogenbosch and an expensive express train only starts a few hours later. It doesn't help you a lot, does it? It only dislocates the problem from Nijmegen to s'-Hertogenbosch I believe... :/ Or do you have better connection options from there?

I've watched this kind of documentary on Pro7 television the other day... Thought it was pretty amazing! It deals with the recording of "Foot Of The Mountain" (I noticed the Potsdamer Platz in Berlin btw) and the earlier days of the band when they started to be a band in Norway and moved to London later on. :) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBHW4HnXYhg]YouTube - a-ha - EPK Foot Of The Mountain (German Version)[/ame] It's in English with German subtitles... Oh and note Chris Martin's quotes at the beginning hehe.

According to the Danish media the show was absolutely brilliant, but they had some problems with the sound. The strong wind was probably responsible for it. Furthermore Chris' voice was still a bit bad due to his illness... Perhaps that's why R#42 called it a "first night". ;) http://www.aoh.dk/artikler/hokus-pokus-af-hoej-klasse I'm a bit disappointed about the setlist though. It's very similar to the European gigs they've done last year... But great that SOS is back and the stage is simply awesome! :D

Perhaps someone who went to the concert recognise himself/herself here... :D http://www.aoh.dk/bbillede/coldplay-konkurrence-find-dig-selv If I understand it correctly, they can send an email to the newspaper in order to win tickets...

Princess Marie of Denmark and Prince Joachim also went to Herning. :D (Thank God Danish is similar to German otherwise I wouldn't understand it.) http://aoh.dk/artikler/prinsesse-marie-til-coldplay

Some photos from a Danish local newspaper... ;) http://www.aoh.dk/bbillede/coldplay-i-herning?bId=1

Ja, denke auch, dass die da auf dem Rasen so Platten verlegen werden. Aber manchmal tun die das auch nicht, z. B. letztes Jahr, als Madonna dafür gesorgt hat, dass ein Bundesligaspiel abgesagt werden musste. Der Rasen in Frankfurt war nach dem Konzert unspielbar. :D http://www.focus.de/sport/fussball/bundesliga1/bundesliga-madonna-macht-frankfurter-rasen-unbespielbar_aid_332839.html Naja ich lass mich einfach mal überraschen. ;) Tere päevast! :D I can't tell you if you've missed the chance to save a lof of money when you would have ordered the tickets online beforehand. Usually tickets at railway stations are more expensive, but not that much. Use a ticket machine (DB-Automat) which is also available in different languages instead of buying your ticket at the counter (Reisezentrum) as you pay an extra fee there, too. Btw, I would always prefer the local trains (Regionalexpress) from Bremen to Hannover instead of the express trains ICE or IC, because the RE train is only 10-15 minutes slower, but a lot cheaper. And normally it's a very new modern double-decked train with a good comfort. :) My tip: Buy a so called "Niedersachsen-Ticket" (Lower Saxony Ticket). It allows you to travel within the federal states of Hamburg, Bremen and Niedersachsen (Hannover is Niedersachsen's capital btw) for one day. Look here for more information: http://www.bahn.de/international/view/en/prices/germany/laender_tickets.shtml Click on "Bremen, Niedersachsen-Ticket" below... If you buy a normal ticket, don't forget to validate your ticket otherwise you dodge the fare. ;)

Ich werde wohl irgendwann mittags gegen 12:30 Uhr am Hauptbahnhof Hannover ankommen und dann hatte ich eigentlich erst vor die Stadt ein wenig zu erkunden, weil ich lange nicht mehr in Hannover war. In Berlin hat es letztes Jahr schließlich auch für gute Plätze gereicht, als ich erst gegen 16:00 Uhr an der O2 World ankam. :) Gut, ganz so spät werde ich wohl nicht zur AWD Arena gehen, weil das Konzert dieses Mal auch in einem Fußballstadion stattfindet und dementsprechend mehr Leute auf die guten Plätze lauern. Aber ich werde einfach mal sehen... Bloß keine Hektik! :D Was macht ihr eigentlich, wenn es an dem Tag regnen bzw. gewittern würde? Steht man dann eigentlich auf dem Rasen und benötigt womöglich Gummistiefel oder verlegen die da so Platten? Weiß das zufällig jemand? Man muss ja auf alles gefasst sein! :lol:

Lol one of my friends bought tickets for the races in Belgium and Italy the other day... just because of Schumacher's comeback! He will be amazed, I'm pretty sure! :D On RTL television they said Schumacher will give a press conference tomorrow. So there's still a tiny little chance. ;)

Nice pictures, thanks for sharing! I took a similar one in Berlin a few weeks ago! :D

My new favourite German artist is - by far - Clueso! I always liked "Chicago" and when the new single "Gewinner" appeared on the screens it made me buy his "So sehr dabei" Album the other day. Since then I can't stop listening to it! I recommend a few songs... Clueso - Gewinner (Album Version) It's a bit different to the single version although the lyrics are quite the same! I like both versions! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gyiuywk8aCA]YouTube - Clueso - Gewinner[/ame] Clueso - Geisterstadt I like how he describes a big problem in Germany these days as many people still flee from East German cities to the Western parts of the country by reason of unemployment. Btw, it makes me hate people even more who still talk about "Dark Germany" or who want to rebuild the Wall although they've never visited places like Magdeburg or Dresden. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEDNps0D2U]YouTube - Weißwasser Clueso - Geisterstadt[/ame] Clueso - Jede Stadt One of my favourite tracks on the album! Great song to let your mind wander. ;) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-vrbGnT3AQ]YouTube - Clueso - Jede Stadt[/ame]

Lol, I agree Lars is a great name! Haha! :cool::laugh3::P Oh and I also visited the Harz region once when I was young, but sadly I didn't make friends with someone there. Booh! :D

Well the island is located in the North Sea, very close to the Dutch border. It belongs to Germany though. Great place to let your mind wander. :D

It is a very cool island! :D And the weather is absolutely brilliant these days! :D Hehe, because a macbook is expensive?! Well my parents only payed a share of 1/5. I payed the rest. Never fear! ;)
