I highly doubt they'll sell that gig out, however I might go and have a look, should be interesting? :)

For people that don't know about the HMH, it's a venue with a capacity of 5500 people, the venue itself has a balcony where you can sit but mainly it's a big standing area...
I like the HMH though because the soundquality in that venue is amazing
Edit: tickets are 35 euro's (servicecosts not included) and pre-sale starts on the 14th of december at 10 o'clock...no supportgroup at this point, but it might change....doors open at 6:30 PM and the gig starts at 8 PM

5500 shouldn't be hard to fill up.
how has their attendance been lately?

i know they canceled a bunch of shows in Japan and Australia, but in Europe, how did they do last time?

I'm wondering wether Izzy will show up.. Amsterdam is his favorite city. If I know he'll show up I'll go, ifnot I won't bother.. not that impressed by the VR stuff.

Scott W is exactly the reason I won't go.
There's no way they sell 5500 tickets.
Anybody who's going : enjoy yourself, it's a mighty good venue for a concert.

Also got 4 tickets to see vr, I'm really curious to see as to how well this show will sell....

Can't imagine it'll sell out...

Yeah it's a soccer stadium with a "concert" capacity of about 17.000 I think but believe me don't waste your money on that crappy venue no matter who's playing there...
It's?got the worst acoustics ever you can hardly hear a thing and when the sliding roof is closed it's like an oven, the only reason bands play there is because it's in a good location at the center of the country. Thank god there are much better venues in the netherlands than that...

it's a horrible place for a gig...everything sounds really hollow, kind of like the sound goes through a tube or something... it doesn't serve any band right to allow them to play there, I personally have never really enjoyed a gig there because of that, the least you can ask for when you go to a gig is good sound quality. The capacity for a GNR gig would've been really good though. The HMH on the other hand (where VR has the gig on the 1st of april) pretty much has the best accoustics of any venue in the Netherlands. Anyway, I made up my mind and I'm going to the gig aswell :)

You can change that to the best of the world, since it has been nominated for a pollstar award for the best international venue, It really has such a great sound quality I'm amazed everytime I catch a concert there :)....

They won?t come to Portugal or Spain? It?s a shame if they don?t!  :no:

it could just be that they haven't announced those dates yet, I can't imagine those being the only dates in Europe  :)
