wow that's quite expensive, or is this a festival?
Still totally worth it though

Yeah, it's a one day festival. First time they organize this. Danko Jones is there too, and more performers will be announced soon.

The biggest problem? This is right in the middle of Helsinki, thousands of people living right by the sports center area. The curfew is probably 10 PM so they must start early too. But didn't Axl do that in Asia, starting earlier in the evening, I mean.

[AdZ]

Wow, what an awesome poster.

[kaasupoltin]

Fucking great!

[Rockin' Rose]

Will be there!

I don't think this Axl will make the fans suffer by getting on late when he knows there's a curfew. Just like in Dublin in 2006.. they were scheduled for 8pm and they started 8 pm sharp. He even joked about how nice it was seeing the sun again

I think the ticket price is not that bad, as it is a one day festival. So the place holds about 70 000 people and is located pretty close from the center of Helsinki. So it's easy to get there too. I'm just wondering how they got the permission to have a festival there, I thought those football fields are one of the best in Helsinki today and the grass is well protected (and this has already been noted among the football fans in Finland, they're getting pretty angry ). But I'm just glad GN'R won't play in the Olympic Stadium as so many other big bands do in Finland.

So this is the place:




Now we just need a show in Tallinn

I don't think it will be a problem, just find someone from Finland to get you a ticket. That's the safest way I think.. I don't know if they (www.lippu.fi) sell tickets straight to Sweden.

And btw, the curfew is going to be 23.00.

i need a ticket to this show!

[Rockin' Rose]

Wow, what an awesome poster.

Asked my friend to get me one, using a picture from Download '06 which I attented makes it even more special

[jarmo]

Awesome!

This evening with GNR is going to be amazing, i don't care about other bands (Alice In Chains (rumoured), The Prodigy or Danko Jones either), so that ticket price is quite high but what the hell, THIS IS IT! 

[kaasupoltin]

I contacted Lippupiste and they said that it is possible to buy tickets from other countries too, but shipping is 20? for every order.

Lippu.fi allows you to enter the country when you register and site is also available in Swedish....

They also seem to offer printable e-tickets for at least some events.
