Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Information regarding tickets:

Sales open on Wednesday April 28th.

There are also packages - that include a two or three day hotel stay AND tix for the KISS show two days after the Guns gig. So it's a mini-vacation with two rock shows and hotel covered.

The package prices are VERY good (cheap) and the three hotels listed are all 3-star standards. The Scandic hotel is 400 meters from the venue (we'l be staying there). Give me a holla if anyone needs more information or any tips.

There are also busses from most major cities in Denmark - from Copenhagen it's 500 kr. (the fast-train IC3 can be done for 3-400 kr.).

Hell yeah, I might take you on that. I will be coming from Gotheburg on the 14 with a ferry to Kristianhavn. Can you recommend on how to get to there and how to get a cheap room. Also, if GN?R are playing Berlin the day after, what is the best way to get my volcanic ass to there from Aalborg?

Thanks, I appreciate. Will be my second time in Aalborg, my sister used to live there and I visited her. Seemed like a nice city. I remember one street with a lot of bars and shops. I think it is the same street where the banditos and hell?s angels had a drive by shoot fight.

I think you mean the G?teborg-Frederikshavn ferry, yes?

From Frederikshavn to Aalborg it's about 30-40 minutes by car (and there are busses/trains).

Yup, the street you mention is most likely Jomfru Ane Gade. Kind of like a miniscule version of Bourbon Street (NO) or the Gaslight District (SD); it's very popular with the young people in Aalborg, both tourists and locals. Lots of bars, lots of cheap booze. It is what it is.

Hopefully we'll find a bar or likewise in Aalborg where fans can all meet up.

The three venues mentioned on the link (ticket service) are all good and midtown. Here's one of them:

PS: The Berlin gig is not confirmed. Also, the rumored date for the Aalborg gig was moved when confirmed from Sunday to this date (Monday 14th). Probably as it makes little sense for the crew, band and fans to have back to back dates (Gn'R will be coming in from Sweden Rock on the Saturday); logistics, wear and tear etc.

As for travelling; there are train connections from ?rhus (and maybe even Aalborg) direct to Berlin as far as I know. If the date is confirmed, I'll look in to some links for you.

I'm definitely coming. 3rd GN'R concert for me and the first one for the missus. I just pray that the fuckers who run the crappy ticket venue called Billetlugen have sorted out how to sell tickets on the Internet without having their site crashing all the time. They're quite infamous here in Denmark for not handling ticket sales for large concerts very well. Those concerts were for much bigger venues like Parken in Copenhagen (45,000 - 47,000 tickets), though...

I really appreciate your help on this, seriously, too kind of you.
And yes, I actually meant to say G?teborg-Frederikshavn ferry, my bad.

Again, thanks for your help on this. I will wait with the Berlin date.

With greetings from the eruption

Have fun RainFox!!

I'm going to have to kill him.   :hihi:  Every board I go to he's there talking about the Denmark show.  I don't think I can take it any more.  They've been to Japan, Canada, all over S Am and here we sit in the states with nothing.   :'(  No, New York don't count, I don't even consider them on the same plant.  I'm starting to feel real neglected.

And what's even worse, everytime he says the word Denmark, I start craving their hotdogs!   :D  God those were good, somebody go to Denmark and bring me home a hotdog.

Cin darlin'!  :hihi:

You're more than welcome to come over. Lars and I have talked about sending you some hotdogs, but the problem is that if we do send them, then they'll be red by the time they get there.. and that won't be just the infamous coloring!

BTW: I attended a (great) Steve Earle show some years back and Earle said it best: "You know, I'm on a diet.. but it's hard.. you guys have the best damn hotdog stands in the world. And I've been around the world and I've seen 'em all."

 :)

Hot dogs, GNR pinball and Lars to take care of me, best hide out in the world!  :D

Sales have started, for those who haven't got their tickets yet.

Just ordered my 5 tickets  :peace:

The phone order number crashed, but www.billetlugen.dk works.

got mine  ;D
now it?s oslo and aalborg.

More to come?

What is it you plan on doing, visit a concert of camp in the building?  :P


Leeds and Reading  ;)

My plan, Reckless Rose, is to attend the show.. with four other people!  ;D

Actually, kidding aside, I think we should find a bar to all meet up in beforehand.

Haha yea I figured. Sounds like a good plan.

count me in, traveling alone from Gothenburg on this one, as of now, no idea what happens after Aalborg.

If my memory from my trip to Aalborg few years ago does not trick me then I remember the concert hall is in Aalborg East and the Jomfru Ane street is down town. So I guess we are not going to be there before the concert?

p.s. any tips on getting myself from Gothenburg to Aalborg?

If you go by foot, then get going ;D

Thanks Jarmo, very helpful.
I will be traveling by foot  8)

If someone is from Aalborg or Frederikshavn, please PM me, I have a question regarding the trip to Aalborg.
Thanks

I'm not from either city, but I may be able to assist. What's up?

was thinking about the ferry trip from Gothenburg to Frederikshavn. If I leave on the Monday 13 my only chance is to take the 16.00 trip and arrive 19.15.
Considering how late GN?R take the stage this might be ok but you never know.  But I am just thinking how late I would actually be at the venue, not really knowing my way around the city enough, let alone that getting to my accommodation would not be a priority so late.
So what do you say, should I perhaps come one day earlier, chill around in Aalborg instead...
 

I've been around Europe for various gigs and I would never have such a tight schedule. Things usually get delayed when you don't need them to be.

For the Gn'R Budapest show in 2006 our plane had a technical error (smoke filled the cabin) and we all had to return to the terminal. Luckily (read: really lucky) they were able to scramble another available plane and get us going hours later (Gn'R were playing that evening!).

On the other hand, Gn'R are set for 20:00 hours and maybe expect an opener and a late show time by Gn'R (if South America is anything to go by). Just don't count on it.

PS: There's about 6 km from the train station to the venue in Aalborg.

 :)

I hear you,
I am therfore coming in on the Sunday evening. 

I don?t want to take my chances. Besides, Danish beer is among the greatest.

It is actually. Ofcourse, being a Dane there'll always be a time of rebellion against that fact (teens, through my twenties) but as I've also travelled the world over the past 20 years, I have "come home".. so to speak.

Yes, Carlsberg is the Danish Budweiser, but they make special brews (the "Jacobsen" brand) that are worth your while. The best major Danish brewery though is Thisted Bryghus on the west coast, in the area of Thy. Their regular pilsner, Thy Pilsner, is terrific. They also make a Thy ?kologisk Pilsner (eco beer) and it is maybe the best regular beer in the world. If you ask me! Check them out, I belive they are available in the Aalborg area too.

But, ofcourse, the real gold is in the microbreweries. Popping up everywhere (but that's more of a global thing really I'd say).

 :beer:

Not this time sweetheart. 

Hope you guys have a great time!  :D

what? no guns allowed at the venue?!

I like how they say c.a. 20.00

thanks for the tip, I have to say that I am more found of Tuborg than Carlsberg ;)

I believe Denmark are playing against Holland in the World Cup on this day....

Fortunately the game starts at 1:30 pm, so people who wanna catch both need not worry.  :peace:

as an Icelander it is obvious whom I am cheering for.
Anyone want to meet up before the game and watch?

Your opinion,  is it better to get an accommodation close to Gigantium or down town area, taking into the account I might want to explore some of the Jomfru gade vs being close to my bed after the concert.
