Rock Am Ring, June 2 (N?rburgring, Germany)

[izzy*stradlin]

hello there
i'm just curious if someone knows...well as i'm actually arriving on 31 of may in Koblenz, now i'm looking the shuttle's schedule and i can not see a shuttle's going to Nurburgring on 31 of may. it says from 1st of june there will be a shuttle at every 30 minutes.
could someone tell me how to get to Nurburgring from Koblenz, i'm travelling to Koblenz by a bus from Bulgaria.
i dont undesstand deutsche, so I can't understand a lot from the official RAR site.
10x in advance

i checked www.bahn.de for a connection but they only showed me bus connections from koblenz to n?rburgring and those take 12 hours. i dont know exactly which train station is the nearest, maybe someone who lives in that area could tell you.

Hey fellow gunners....Im a virgin(newbie) to these boards, Ive been lurking for yeaRS And years...I thought Id sign up to post something...My name is Dan, I live in Germany(In the U.S Army) I live in Stuttgart...Well ok enough about me...Im going to this concert next weekend, I will be leaving Thursday afternoon, Ill get there in the evening and pitch my tent...I cant wait to go, maybe I can meet some of you guys...this is a huge concert, I have pre ordered the MetallicA concert(playing Sat night) it will be avail via mp3 or flac...I then pre ordered Depeche Modes concert(p[laying Sunday) so this looks to be a kick ass concert...cant wait, and I think 1am is perfect for them to go on stage, since its a festival and all, no one should bitch about driving anywhere after GN'R go off stage

Welcome dude, we're still in the proces of getting hooked up overthere... Stay stuned...

Yeah, they only do shuttles during the festival. You know, the race ring is somewhat... out in nowhereland, so there's no point in having any public transportation there safe for when there's an event taking place.
You can take a train from Koblenz (please, without the "tz") to Mayen. Mayen is the next biggest town to the ring. Maybe you find some nice dude or dudette who'll give you a ride to the ring. Mayen is 25 km away from Nuerburg. The alternative is to sleep the night in Koblenz and hop on the first shuttle on the 1st of July (no shuttles from Mayen to the Ring!).

hth,
tonya <--- getting excited...

btw: no problem if you don't speak any German, try English

[izzy*stradlin]

thanks again Tonya!
well i think i'll choose between stay in Koblenz for the night, or getting a ride with some dude or dudette:P

i don?t live that close.....   i don?t know.... 200 kilometres..300 kilometres...

the weather sucks. it?s quite cold and raining all day...
it might get a little better until the weekend, but i won?t get my hopes up

i can?t help you getting to the ring though 

i`m pretty sure there`ll be busses

[izzy*stradlin]

i`m pretty sure there`ll be busses

i really hope so
otherwise we have a tent and sleeping bags 

[Meanmachine22]

it's getting closer....

I 'm so excited and i just can't hide it......

Ok serious:  We should meet there somewhere..
Since not all people will be there on friday afternoon i suggest to meet something like  830 hrs somewhere
Anybody interrested at all?
Up to now it 's pretty safe that i will come alone, booze me up, watch Tool and Gnr and go back to sleep in my car

 

[izzy*stradlin]

yeah, i'm interested , i think you could PM Tonya_itzerman from this thread and give her your gsm to contact, she suggested to be "the phone bitch 
i hope we meet all together

[axlrosegnr]

I just looked at a satellite picture of the track, theres houses all over the place, right next to the track, how freakin awesome would that be!!! thats it, I'm learning german and moving...

[padje]

Looks like its gonna be typical Eifel weather this weekend, a little bit of sun, rain, heavy clouds, wind... Oh well, it has its charm...

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

anything is fine with me,unless it's not a 2001 weather again..

[tonya_ytzerman]

errr... if you mean you don't want rain, you could get unlucky.
here's a forecast...

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

i mean rain mixed with storm bloody coldness and everything

[coldfan13]

so i bought a tent, i will be leaving after I get out of work on Thursday, I hope to get there sometime in the evening so I can get a nice place to camp, somewhere near the venue, since camping is included with the price of the ticket, Id like to meet you guys/gals....i dont have my handy on me, but I can get the number and post it...I dont speak a word of German..I am only stationed here, I am from L.A California...

[coldfan13]

speak of rain and stuff...I heard that Germany might get snow, above the 800 feet elevation mark...How messed up would it be to go to this concert and be outside 3 days in snow....and oh god, at 1am or when ever axl and co. go on stage, have it freezing and snowing instead of rain....snow in june at a guns n roses concert...now that my friend would be a first..dress warm....you never know
