Golden Circle tickets secured! And only 20 days to wait, brilliant!

Those Golden Circle tickets sure went fast...

It will be good anyway though.

Not All gone yet ...From Just 1 minute ago ...see dateand time of post

So can anyone tell us what an Irish family can expect to see in Bergen?....Besides Prince.

We are over for a couple of days as a part of a family Holiday. So can you recommend restaurants, places of interest or even places to hang.

Thanks

Lots of things. Great food. Great nature. Mountains, sea, you name it. Its beatiful there.

If you're there... You must try fresh seafood! It's as good as it gets. If you're used to not liking seafood, this is the place to get convinced othervice. But it IS a bit expensive. Still, a very good experience.

They've got a really good aquarium. With all kinds of fish, reptiles and penguins. Stuff like that.

Places to hang out is probably most down by the harbour. Thats where all the tourists come. Pubs, bars, discos etc...

Anyway... Lots of cred to Christer.. BUT!

Unless he is sitting on Prince's shoulder, there will NOT be a Prince consert in Oslo. Unless he rushes over there to do a afterparty...

He's playing in Denmark on the 20'th and 22'th. No room for a concert in Oslo.

Well, of course... Could be that there'll be an extra consert if the response in Bergen is over the topp. Who knows.

Who needs seats when in GC?

I see your point, but I have just been operated, so maybe I need to sit from time to time...

There is now an under 18 section which might have seats as well as the wheel chair section which might just have seats on stand-by for such occasions!

How quick is the Norwegian ticket-toko to send tickets abroad?

(didn't receive anything so far)

Also, when I email them I get an out-of-office reply before it is 17:00!

So what is happening?

Anyone who knows where's the most likely place for an afterparty in Bergen would be?

By the way: I have one extra GC-ticket. Anyone who needs it?

Hei,
Det er satt opp busser til Bergen etter konserten. Billetter til bussene er til salgs via Billettservice.
På grunn av stor pågang vil det være begrenset mulighet for parkering på mandagens konsert med Prince. Vi oppfordrer derfor alle til å reise kollektivt.
Vestlandshallen blir under konserten med Prince et Cashless område. Dette for at du skal få handlet raskere og køene skal bli kortere.
Cashless er en elektronisk betalingsløsning som gjør dine kjøp enklere og raskere. Kortet er gyldig ut 2010
Du kjøper og fyller opp Cashless kortet på egne påfyllingsstasjoner på området.

Mvh
Atomic Soul

So I need to buy some card?

Where and how much?

Check here: http://www.cashless.no/

The card cost 30 NOK and can then be filled with the desired amount that you plan on spending. You buy and fill up the card on special stations on the concert area, and then use it at the bar instead of cash.. Safer and quicker, less time waiting in line for the beer. No need for me, because I'm going to be there for the music, not the alcohol..

Thanks, that was my idea!

But what about the bus? Can I get tickets near or at the railway station? Any details?

Tickets are for sale her: http://www.billettservice...t/BVH18101

I don't know about other options to buy ticket for the bus, so I'll buy in advance. The ticket cost 50 NOK + handling..

Thanks, but snailmailing the tickets out will be too slow at this point in time...

The only option is to pick up the ticket at Posten (the Norwegian postoffice), Narvesen (newsstand/Kiosk chain) or 7-Eleven.. I'm pretty sure the tickets can be bought directly at these places also.

Any idea how many tickets are sold for this concert now? Should be close to sold out soon, I guess?

And what are the chances for an aftershow? I have a 6-7 hours drive including 3 car ferries to get back to work Tuesday morning...

They've sold about 8000 of the 10000 tickets. http://www.bt.no/bergenpu...75549.html

The less people, the more exclusive for us!
