ticket situation was all round bad
there were 2 doors into bataclan ... in front of one was a long queue with people who did not yet have a ticket (bataclan did not sell out to members), and one door where invited guests and clubmembers who bought a ticket could enter.
That second door was total chaos ... hundreds of people were pushing their way around 2, sometimes 3 security people who had lists of people who bought the tickets... you had to show your ID while being pushed around in the crowdmess. Allround confusion with both french security and npgmc staff ... npgmc staff was even asking to show laminates and wristbands from the Zenith show that had taken place earlier that night.
I was not at that show, just went for the bataclan gig so i couldn't show them that. Weird look in their eyes, then looked me up on the list and let me in.
Once inside npgmc staff were handing out green wristsbands... there again i had to explain that i did not go to the Zenith show (was i the only one??? thought this wasn't an aftershow?)... look me up on the list again, finally got wristband.

OH MT3 that sounds pretty bad
Guess Rotterdam's Nighttown show's also gonna be a hell
better wear my porcupine vest

Green wristbands were handed out otside the Bataclan as well. A number of NPGMC members/guests were let in through the side door without (!) security check.
The venue is nice. The show was all good.

udo
