"tariff Normal  Cat?gorie 2"
"DEBOUT "

Anyone have an idea?

You did the right thing, it's a standing ticket.  : ok:
See you there!

Count me in too!!!.

Can't wait for August to come, that's when it all starts for me. :)

I'll be there!

I'll be at this one too  ;D

Seems i shall be present too  ;D

Hi guys,

I'm likely going to this, but we'll be in a minibus driving from the Eurotunnel at Calais.  Does anyone know what the parking situation will be like near the venue?

Cheers :)

I'll be there, with friends: Rain, Skippy, Maud: where are you  ;D ;D ;D

I'll be there! Definitely.

Just got my Eurostar sorted for this show, can't wait.

I will be in Lille around 13.30pm on the day of the show, will be up for any pre show meets. Can't wait, never been to Lille, hope the show is just as brilliant as the one I attended in Paris.  :drool:

Are you guys planning to meet at some point before or after the concert?

By the way, I have an extra ticket (very good seat, best category possible, right in front of the center of the stage).
The friend I was supposed to attend the concert with is feeling ill, so we thought that she should stay at home instead of traveling with me.
If anyone is interested, let me know...

What do you mean " a seat right in the front of the centre of the stage ", isn't it general admission (standing). I brought a standing ticket I think, so don't you mean, a good seat at the side of the stage?.  ???

Sorry, man: I probably wasn't clear enough, especially by saying that the seat was "right" in front of the center of the stage.
It is in front of the center of the stage, but behind the place where people are standing.
Still it is much better to seat there rather than on any side of the stage, because the venue is not that big (much smaller than Bercy, for instance): so sitting in front of the stage does not mean staying too far away from the stage. You can have a particularly good view from there...

If you take a look at the venue, you'll understand what I mean:

Take care!

It's OK, I know that some shows are indeed all seating, was just checking.

So is this place smaller than the Bercy arena, never knew, lets hope it's a good show. I will probably be wearing my 'Guns N' Roses Rock Dublin 01.09.2010 ' shirt (it's more recognisable than my Canada shirt). It will be nice to meet up if we have the opportunity, in any case, I hope everybody enjoys this show.

I certainly will. ;)

hi all,
before the show: meeting around 5pm at the
BLACK NIGHT BAR
29 avenue de Roubaix
the boss is a gnr fan  ;D


and after the show:
LA CHIMERE
95 boulevard Montbello
quite far, but a very good rock bar!

hope to see some of you  ;D
 :beer:

Could you post a map link ^^ - cant seem to find black night bar!
 ;D

The exact address of the Black Night Bar seem to be 29 RUE DE ROUBAIX (try vith "Rue" instead of "Avenue").
It's in the center of the city...

and i will be there too

OK guys this is my last post until I head off for London to get the Eurostar.

I will just like before, post a review of the show as soon as I get back to England. I will be able to do this late Sunday night, early Monday morning.

For everyone attending the show like me, I will be wearing my Dublin t shirt from this year.

Hope to see you guys at the show.  : ok:

Ill be on my way in a few hour's to Lille, tried to look for a ticket on the Lille website, what an awful unpractical site it is.
But noticed there are tickets at the door, so I'm off.

Cheers

yea

What another great show, my 19th time seeing GN'R. The band was explosive, and everyone was on their side, it was great to witness. They played Don't Cry and Whole Lotta Rosie again, which was brilliant.

DJ fell over some stage equipment and fell backwords off the stage. Luckily he was OK and carried on as if nothing happened, still can't believe that, well done DJ.

Amazing setlist and Axl was the star of the night, his voice is out of this world. He came over to my side, and because I was front barrier left, I was literally less than a metre away from him. He is such a legend and seeing him that close up is really special, and he looks better than ever, in such great shape.

Thank you GN'R for yet another great show, see you guys in Lisbon Portugal next.  ;D

I'm interested to know if anybody knows the answer to something I can't stop thinking about, so here it is.

At this show in Lille, as soon as the lights went down. All of the security staff knelt down and was all shouting to each other things in french. They all seemed really on edge, almost as if they had been tipped off about someone in the crowd trying something.

Did anyone else notice this, extremely strange thing to see, and abit scary.

I've gone to 23 GN'R shows and have never came across this ever, so I'm intrigued.  :o

Was looking around as well to see what was going, didn't knew why or what though.
Only a few min before the show started some dude climbed the tribune fence and ripped of a commercial banner on his way back up, so security was already on the edge by that incident.

For the rest I thought this was a really great concert !

haha I remember him :-) He climbed over the railing too and made the crowd a bit more excited!
Was a nice break during the waiting ;-)

Haha, I remember him too, he just climbed up with another guy and then he just randomly started ripping the banner off the wall. Then of course, the arenas staff climbed up after him and told him to get back in his seat.

Really got the crowd going.  ;D
