Fuck ! 60 euros ! oh well...I may dl this album now  :hihi: where did you get that info exactly ?

Got it from the Graspop forum, they got it from stubru site (national radio here in Belgium)

im thinking about going to this gig can anyone help us with these questions please

how far is the festival from the nearest airport?
how far is the nearest train station?



thanks begsy

Nearest airport: Im quessing 'Zaventem'. This is 94km from 'Mol' (train station) and 98km from 'Dessel' (festivalground).

Nearest train station: 'Mol', busses leave from this station to the festivalground and tickets for the bus to and from the festival are included in the 'Combi' ticket (3days ticket). If you're not buying the 'combi' ticket, I think you will likely pay from 1? upwards per person per ride...

Good Luck : ok:

Isnt schiphol the nearest one ? Plus I think lijn (bus line)  is offering free trips from Mol to the festival during those three dates.

Put me on that list to !! I'll be on the front row.

Schiphol - Dessel: 164km, according to routenet.be

Normally they (de lijn) do this, I'm sure this info will be available on the website 'soon' ;D

zaventem is definetely the nearest airport to Dessel. zaventem is near brussels, belgium. while schiphol is near amsterdam, holland.

I know, I live in Brussels  ;D But both countries are so damn small, that you never know  :P

i've just checked all the prices, and i'm definatly coming!

Eindhoven Airport (Holland) is the nearest one, 41km from Dessel

Put me on the attendees list!
My 4th show of the tour so far! If anyone has any queries the official website is really useful, the 'Practical' section has all the info you need on getting there and theres a nice little FAQ section too
www.graspop.be (http://www.graspop.be)



edit: fixed link

Just bought my ticket, so i will see you all there!

Stone Sour just confirmed they are coming Saturday as well!!!

http://www.stonesour.com/tour.aspx

This keeps getting better and better!!! : ok: :smoking:

Ordered my ticket today.. yeheaa!

+ Alice in chains (also same day as gnr)

http://www.jerrycantrell.com/tour.asp

voila, booked my tick too! AIC + stonesour + soulfly + guns n roses; it's gonna be a very interesting day. see you there!

AIC/stonesour are playing fieldsofrock festival in nijmegen too. maybe guns will be there?
if that's the case, me too.

Dito :-)

Can anyone please help ? where do I buy my ticket if Im in Belgium ??

http://www.graspop.be/pages/tickets/tickets_vlaanderen.php

I Don't speak dutch  :crying: (Ill find the french or english equivalent thanks) ps; dont hate me, Im not exactly belgian so leave me out of your cultural civil war  >:( Im kidding.

  Go for music sucks, cause I only have ING , not mastercard, eurocard nor visa...

This sms goes where ?
SMS:
Code naar 3060 (?0,50/verstuurde-ontvangen SMS)

SMS CODE GPB (zaterdag)


the sms thing only works if Im  registered to goformusic ? cause again... I only have ING , not mastercard, eurocard nor visa...


Thanks for the help :P

Let wel: voor deze SMS-dienst is het noodzakelijk om geregistreerd te zijn bij Goformusic.   

Hmmm this info was left out of the french version, which is not really a french version cause it's written in dutch  :hihi:
But I can kinda see that Ihave to be registered to goformusic before sending the sms....which sucks...

Either Ill have to get a friend to buy the tickets for me or I'll wait to april 1st  :-\

isn't there another way to buy them ??  :crying:

You caqn also call Go For Music to order tickets

Tel: +32 34 0000 34 (international)

We got our tickets 11,not sold out yet but i think this is gonna be the hardest place for Axl to show up with Guns..this is a diehardmetalfest...like dynamo open air in the old days.

hey woody, if you are not able to order tickets via goformusic, you can buy them in 'fnac'stores or 'kbc' bank offices in belgium starting april 1st as you know.
the festival isn't going to sell out (soon) i guess . prox. around 30.000 people i guess will show up.
see you at graspop

More groups have been added, check the website if you are interested...

I'll spoil one surprise though: Korn has been added to Saturday!!

I hope they play a lot of their older work though!

I'll be there too! All the way from holland!? ;)

see you all there.

Johan

yes korn is coming too.
and they will play a lot of their old stuff: clown, divine, lies, need to, ... all of their magnificant first album. but i hope they can convince me without head.
nice opener for guns though ;)

i'll be there  :beer: great line up ! far better then rock werchter this year

Is this event looking to be sold out...meaning, in past years has it sold out on a regular basis? I want to go, hell I'm only a drive away from Dessel, but I want to wait and see if they show up to their May dates first. Not trying to be negative, I love Guns and Axl, but I've been burned by them before. Is buying a ticket come beginning of June too late as it may be sold out? I'm just looking to a get a Saturday pass...

(Course, if anyone wants to spot me a ticket I'll give them free room and board the night of the concert  : ok:)

graspop has never been sold out before. it's a big festival ground (i've been there in 1998) and i think you don't have to worry to get your tickets late.

No worries!! I've been a frequent visitor of this festival, to my knowledge it has never sold out.
Quess it will all depend on who's going to headline on Sundays and even then it will probably not sell out...

I read the festival forum daily, I'll keep you posted in this thread!

You might want to come though: great relaxed atmosphere, great bands and belgian beer!!! :beer:

Great, cause Ill have to wait till aprif 1st and buy them at the Fnac cause I can't buy them online.

does that also count for day tickets for saturday?

nevermind.....

i just ordered my tickets :beer:

I quess it was the beer comment that did it, right?  :beer:

sure :hihi:


i`m from Warstein and you might know Warsteiner......

Nicht schlecht, nicht schlecht!! For German beer that is  :hihi:

When you're @ Graspop ask for 'een pintje'!! (ein bier)

Cheers  :beer:

i`ll probably ask for more than "een pintje" :hihi:

maybe we can have a drink together in the front row : ok:

not part of ur squad but I'll certainly be there too lol

Nice beer in the "pit"  :beer:

Okidoki

you'll recognise me by my GN'R shirt  :hihi:

got my ticket today, looks awsome

And another great name for saturday: AVENGED SEVENFOLD!!!

They confirmed it on their myspace site: http://www.myspace.com/avengedsevenfold

i`ll attend the concert in nijmegen instead of this one :peace:

Count me in!! great list of bands!

remco

yep, me too, only nijmegen now at the moment  :)

Look at this, kinda sad  :-\

http://graspop.be/pages/extra/bands.php?page=3&type=main

geen foto beschikbaar = no picture available

better no picture than an old picture like they do with soulfly and korn.

I can't wait !!!!! Better take a clean pair of pants to Graspop. The band sounds real tight on the bootleg, so I think we're up for a treat.

As I was already going to Lissabon and Nurenborg, I wasn't planning to go to Graspop. But Kiki convinced me: I'm attending the Graspop Festival. Meet you there!
 ;D

Anyone know whats the best way to get there, I'll be comming from poperinge ? Its a long way for me . The train doesn't work cuz i need to take 3 of them  :-\ So i'll be comming by car !

Bit of sad news for me: because of heavy surgery for my Mother-in-law, right before Graspop, I cannot leave my wife for this gig. I already have tickets, which I want to sell (face value).

Does anybody know anyone who still wants to buy tickets for the Saturday??? Please PM me if you know something, would be appreciated.

Thanks!

This might help:

Okay, so count my ass in on this one. I was afraid of a cancelation, but the NY and Rio shows are giving me hope. I will still be a bit wary up until the second I see them on stage, but screw it, I've missed out on enough GnR concerts in my lifetime. It's right down the road from me and it's my favorite band, even if it's just Axl and the new guys. Still more than worth my time. Questions if anyone can answer, though...

-cameras allowed? Not video, just regular old digital ones

-doors open at 10...I want to get as close as I can to the stage so how early should I get my butt there before? Time doesn't matter, I'll sleep at the door the night before if need be

I prob got more, so I'll reg at the Graspop forum. I don't post much here but I've been lurking around since around 2001, but basically nobody knows me, so this'll be me at the concert...

Obviously the one in the GnR shirt, rocking out? : ok:

http://www.answers.com/topic/no-l-godin?method=22

Should Axl be worried about the Gloup Group?

I got an invoice from goformusic.be today for 68,60 euros... is it cheaper to buy my ticket in a store (like fnac or Hit Music)? And does anyone know how much it costs there?
The 68,60 euros are for:
Tickets: 60,00 euros
Servicekosten: 2,50 euros
Administratie en afleverkosten: 1,10 euro (isn't that the same as servicekosten)
Aangetekende zending: 5,00 euro

Can anyone please let me know asap?

Thanks, Suicide

I've bought our tickets in a "normal" store and the ticket was 60 euro, administrationcosts are 4,05 (you'rs are 3,60)
so total was 64,05
You only pay 5 euro for sending the tickets to your home (it's the save way of sending them),  so i don't think it's that bad

Thanks for the reply Kiki, I'll buy my ticket at a "normal" store then. It's cheaper and with GN'R you never know what will happen in the meantime.

It just hit me today, but I'm turning 31 halfway through GN'R's set!!!!

Well it's gonna be one hell of a birthday for me ;D

Don't forget to bring the beers to celebrate it with us ;)

Does anyone know wether there will be possibilities to watch the 2 World Cup games on the fesitval ground or somewhere near that? That would be really important to know...

Hello,

 

We will not show the matches on the screen at GMM, but only the results of every match!

 

Metal greetings,

Delphine

Fuck this! Anyone knows if there are any pubs or something like that near the festival area??

I don't know if you're allowed to go to the camping area but a lot of people will be following the match on radio there and maybe even on tv!

From www.graspop.be:

 17-6-2006 Guns N' Roses helemaal klaar voor Graspop!
De nieuwe Guns N' Roses website staat online. Alle reviews en foto's van hun Europese tournee kan je terugvinden op www.newgnr.com. Het ziet er dus naar uit dat de heren helemaal klaar zijn voor hun komst naar de Desselse weide!

17-6-2006 Guns N' Roses totally ready for Graspop!
The new Guns N' Roses' Site is online. All the reviews and pictures of their european tour are on www.newgnr.com. It looks like the guys are ready for their show on the Dessels Field!


hehehe, damn, why don't they link to us??

they've changed it into fansite now  : ok:

Korn (and Ill Nino) had to cancel...

From 'Het Laatste Nieuws' (Belgian Newspaper):

The Graspop organisation was unable to find a replacement for Korn in such a short time, therefore Alice in Chains, My Dying Bride and Guns N' Roses will play a longer set!! Negotiations were held with Deftones, Machine Head, Tool and Life of Agony but none of these bands were available for saturday!

Guns N' Roses will start earlier!!! (no new timetable available yet) :peace:

@Kiki: I'll bring the beer!! :beer:

that's very good. fuck korn

FUCK YEAH!!!!!

so this will probably mean all the encores they could play!!!


TWAT!!!!!!!!!!!
and who knows what else??

Just a quick update before going to work:

From the graspop website:

Guns will start their set at 22h30 instead of 23h00, so that's 30min extra!!!  :smoking: :drool:

So I guess they can start earlier with getting late ??? :hihi:

They should end their set at about 01h00 (yeah right!)

They'll play at least 2,5h according to 'Het Nieuwsblad' ==> http://www.hetnieuwsblad.be

Just wondering: do they not always have a set of 2h15 - 2,5h? When I saw them back in '93 (werchter) they aso played 2,5h....

I am going to film the show, if they don't catch me.

FUCK YEAH!!! Good Luck mate!!! I hope you don't get caught!!!

Check the batteries beforehand  :hihi:

 :beer:

well, if i catch you, i'll buy you a beer  :hihi:

I have a question, after the concert, is there a way to go back to mol station? any kind of transportation ? cause I dont want to wait till 7am  :-\

Judging from the graspop site: I'm sorry to say that there is none.

I'm there by car but there is no way I can take you: I'm already seating 5 and that's not counting myself as the driver...

The earliest train after the concert is on Sunday morning... you will have to check timetables yourself.
(earliest on Monday is 4h56 to Antwerp/Berchem but that's on a Monday, a work day)

Try getting lucky, and 'sleep' in someone's tent, or find someone who can take you after the concert...

I wish you good luck!!!

I can take you with my car to the station, but i don't think there will be a train though  :P

hmmmm thats an interesting proposal cause  I rather sleep in the station rather than in the fuckin woods with thousands of  drunk people. Ill pm you

Has the concert started yet?

yes ;)
