At first there is the ticket price (already quite expensive), and with the next steps you discover "service fees", "postage fees" etc. and the price increases even more. God knows what you could see when your credit card's operations summary arrives. :eek: Looks suspicious to me. :?

Yeah, I'm a fairly large fan of the "tickets first" approach too.

Best o' luck Steve man, I haven't forgotten that I owe you a pint for not cracking when cleaning out Sharing, so looking forward to seeing you there... :D
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

The incentive of that pint will spur me on. :lol:

Nah, you can buy them at the entrance for a few quid!

Sold out gig! I am glad that some of my fellow Dutchmen are still keen on seeing them! :)

Absolutely awful is that in fact the gig isn't sold out because of you and me; the murky ticket offices did buy the tickets from Mojo and sell them through - for another rate.

It is a long lasting war on ticket industry in the netherlands...

But don't be afraid, there's more options. Check this, it's probably from people who decided last minute not to go and they offer it for ca. 30 euro:

There's even a phone number of the guy who's selling it for a regular price. Give it a try, i'd say.

DON'T, i repeat DON'T buy your tickets at any other so called 'official' source that ask ridiculous high prices. They're maffia and frustrate the music market.

I shall be there along with my friend Charlotte ( who doesn't like the sisters but is being a good sport about it and coming with me to keep me from being a social leper - she'll talk to anyone and I'm a complete clam who has nothing to say about anything )

This'll be my first Sisters gig so I may be mildly excitable. We've got a room booked at the Museum Hotel. Just over the river( ? ) and up the road a bit from the Paradiso. We booked from Sunday to Wednesday so we can look round a bit the day before too. :)

Unfortunately I won't be able to see you all at the pre gig meet. Shame. I hope to maybe see some of you at the Paradiso.
The first one who comes up to me and calls me cock gets a free beer :D . I'm six foot three( 1.92 to euros), medium build with very dark short hair. I'll be with my sister-in-law who's got black hair down to her arse.

Have fun

It's going to be a fleeting visit for me. I'll be arriving on the Tuesday, staying at the Backstage Hotel in Leidsegracht and going to Hamburg the next day. I doubt I'll be anywhere near Warmoesstraat at 5pm, but if anyone fancies meeting up nearer Leidseplein from 3pm onwards, I'd be up for it. Otherwise, see you all at the gig :D

I won't be coming to the pre gig met due to me being a social leper, and having absolutely nothing to say to anyone other than a brief hi.

I have to work until 17 hours.
From there I am going out to eat my birthday party diner.

After that I think there will be no time to meet up so I will go directly to Paradiso

And then party time in Paradiso :!:
Celebrating my birthday :D

Your Avatar reminds me Christian; if St. Pauli wins the match gegen Kaiserslautern then we'll have a Von in a good mood.
