I am seriously considering attending all 3 concerts... However, I am a bit worried about my safety, especially because I would be travelling alone (for the first time actually) from Slovenia. How safe is Rotterdam?
If there is someone also going alone, and would prefer a travel buddy - contact me. A funk a day keeps the nose away. | |

I don't think I can afford three days out at the moment, so I might try and repeat what I did for the Arras show last year. That was clockwork.
I left work (Cambridge) at 2pm, was at the eurotunnel for 4pm, through to france + hours time change and it was 6pm, I was at Arras for 7.15, Eaten and standing in the gold circle for 8.00. Show vinished 12.30, I was at Calais for 1.30am, straight on the tunnel, -1 hour time diff, I was back home in bead at Cambridge for 3am.
So I'm torn to wait for a Prince UK date (but it might come at a festival) or head to north sea where he is sure to do a set more interesting that the standard one.
The plan in my head is,
Leave Cambridge on Friday at 3pm, get to Dover at 5pm, ferry +1diff will make it 6.30pm at Calais. Drive up to Rotterdam for 10-10.30. In for Prince at 23.45, leave Rotterdam about 3am, be back at Calais for about 6am, ferry - 1 hour diff, I'll be in bed for a kip about 7.30am.
Hmmm.....so....tempting..... . | |

It's in the summer so, yeah prices are very high, and tickets aren't cheap at all. I hope for you guys he will come to UK. I think there is coming more European dates, not just Holland , and Poland. That's only 2 and that's not enough. I think next week , we will hear more about other show(s) | |

I'm coming from Belgium (directio Antwerp) by car. What is the nearest "park and ride" parking where I can park my car? Is it interesting to park my car there and then use the subway to Ahoy? | |

Damn, the ticket-stress is already getting to me
I'll probably be staying in Rotterdam, anyone any info on hostels/cheap hotels? | |

there's a very nice parking NEXT to the Ahoy and Ahoy is conveniently situated near the Rotterdam ring-road. Should be no hassle to park there. slightly more expensive but o so convenient since the show will end REALLY late and there won't be any subways.....

Subway is operational til 3:30am on NSJF nights, but if you travel by car it's better to park at the Ahoy or nearby. | |

The ticket thing isn't very clear. Maybe its lost in translation.
If go one night and only want to see Prince, do i just need the 89 euro ticket or do i still need to buy another type of ticket on top? Or will there be another all inclusive ticket???
help!?
Update: Solved. I went to the ticket page itself and it was much clearer.

I think I will order my tickets on www.TicketDisaster.nl or on www.No-Ticketservice.nl
It has the same succes-rate as ticketsmaster.nl ......
Have a look at 'The W2A: Euro Tour Song Survey' http://prince.org/msg/12/362417 | |

Grmbl. Keep getting thrown out by Ticketservice. Anyone who succeeded in getting tickets? | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
If I get trough and get the message that all is sold out, | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Well, i guess no one is getting tickets out of the system at this point! So, it can´t sell out... at least i hope so. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
It is frustrating!!!!! To think other people might get all the tickets now and by the time I get through it is all sold out!!! No other way to get tickets right? Or then more expensive, I guess? | |
