I'll be there and have a ticket for the whole weekend. However, I'm not sure if I'll return on Sunday, but as I'm living only c. 90km away from Cologne let's see :roll:

Those of you who are coming may wish, if you aren't aware already, to alert yourselves to this after the gig:

Early Father's Day Present for me! Ticket order - woo-hoo! (what's the ordering about??? Can't you just buy with credit card?)
Flights booked regardless!!

I suppose it's easy enough to get from Dusseldorf to Koln & back? If anyone knows - is it cheaper to buy train tickets online than on the day...?

It is more or less easy. There are direct local transport network train connections. Cost: around 10 € (one way), local network tickets only at the ticket machine. There is a ticket machine when you leave D'dorf airport towards the train station. German ticket machines are a hell if you are in a hurry, so take your time and buy the return ticket already on arrival.
Online it's more expensive and might include changing trains because you can only book ICs´and regional trains online. At any rate, you can check online with Deutsche Bahn in detail when trains arrive and leave ... no matter whether they are trains from the local network or whether you can book them online ... all trains are listed in detail.

Of course we're lazy. We support a band that hasn't released any new albums since circa '92, because we can't be bothered to walk to the record shop.

Poor m*****n fans have had to trudge to the shops at least five times since '92 and Motorhead fans have lost count. I guess they have to do something until the speed wears off.

It's great supporting the Sisters, because you don't actually have to do anything and you look reaaly cool doing it.

If they send you bank details with IBAN and stuff, I guess they want you to pay by international bank transfer ... :wink: ...

PayPal does usually come in online directly during the booking procedure ...

It looks alright to me. However, they declared only recently that tickets originally earmarked fo box sale were being sold off online, as the latter contingent was sold out. By now yo can only find Sunday tickets and at the box office - probably - only return tickets or those not picked up until 4pm ....

Btw, you are coming! Wonderful ... :D ... looking forward to that ... :D ...
