  Opeth 2008.12.07 Arena Wien

As you can see, Opeth will play a Gig at the Arena in Vienna on Sunday 7th December at 20:30. Tickets only cost about 21€ at oeticket.at!!
Does anyone wanna go there/join me??

My chance of being there is at least 90% (rather 99), they turned to one of my absolutely favourite bands in the last year and I've missed them at Rock im Park due to the hail on Saturday afternoon (@Chris: hoits enk zaumm, es dauert nimma laung oda Karree, Karree... a Stück vom Schweindl ohne Schwartn, jo des is a Karree).
btw, the following Monday is a holiday in good ol Austria (8. Dezember!!!!).

List of tourdates: http://www.myspace.com/opeth

Some alternatives if you don't wanna go to Vienna:

6th December Munich

4th December Milan



heavy greetz, Walter

\m/

That's an extremely quick and an extremely great answer!! See you there!!

btw, if I interprete it correctly, The Ocean and Cynic are supporters. http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=2973509&blogID=417146754

I gotta get the 3 albums I haven't bought yet (Orchid, Morningrise, MAYH) as soon as possible (probably at beginning of September, when my holiday job is done, bc then my bank account looks a little better . And hopefully before the 12th, to shorten the waiting time for my coffin ).

@2008: from my 6 favourite bands I've seen:

Metallica 2x (Prague and Rock im Park)


Queens of the Stone Age 2x (Rock im Park and Graz)
Opeth (99.999999% in Vienna, but unfortunately not at RIP)
Machine Head in Prague (although they were much better in Dec 07 at the Gasometer).


The bands that are missing here are Soundgarden (some 10-12 years too late) and LED ZEPPELIN (the hope never dies ).

I lost all my patience and ordered my ticket at oeticket.at. I just have to pick it up at one of their Centers when I'm in Vienna or Innsbruck!

I already have the printed "Buchungsbestätigung" in my hands!!

Btw. walter, how'd you lan to get there? Are you in Wels the time the concert is? If yes what about driving there together?

I study in Innsbruck, so I'll probably go directly from IBK to Vienna without stoppping in OÖ (by train). Or I might even stop in Linz or St. Valentin, these are anohter possibilities. I might even get a bed in my sister's flat in Wien-Alsergrund! ;D hehe
But yeah, maybe I'll go from IBK to OÖ the Thursday-Saturday before, than the gig, then I'll drive back either to the Sip-City (aka Sipbachzell) or to Innsbrooklyn (aka Innsbruck). I still have 4 months left to decide, AND I don't know anything about the timetable at university next semester, so nothing's decided at all.

Übrigens, i kumm aus Sipbochzö, net aus Wös! ;D

I see..so i think i can go there by car by myself, it's only 2 hours. But i'd drive back straight after it then, already enough hotel stuff this year

All right I'm in as well, I'm going to purchase my tickets today

Posted by Livestrong on 05.08.2008 at14:48:

 

Done , I'm in. Just got my confirmation for the tickets

Posted by metalandi on 05.08.2008 at14:57:

 

Cool bernd, then we can make a little chapter meeting there

---

Posted by Livestrong on 05.08.2008 at18:32:

 

Of course we will, looking forward to it dude

I'm still not 100% healthy (yesterday evening I had 38,2°, now it's 37,4°), but I'm 90% sure that I can go!

Tomorrow I'll take the 9:30 train from Innsbruck and will arrive at Westbahnhof at 14:20, then I'll go to my sister's flat and leave the luggage there. Then I wanna go to some pub and watch the Viennese Derby (probably La Boule in the 8th district, hopefully Stefan Maierhofer will show Okotie who the real phantom is ).

Is it true that the entrance will start at 19:00 and the first band will start at 19:45???? I'm not quite sure, at the HP of the Arena it only says 19:00, without any further explanation.
And I certainly don't wanna be too late for the first band, just like at the Unholy Alliance gig (do woar i net da oanzige, stimmts Bernd?! ).
So, when and where should we meet?

cu tomorrow

i was just about to ask the same. I don't even have my own ticket yet, so i have no clue when it starts When will you be there bernd, and do you know where it is best to park at the venuer??

Woidl, i think i know why you have a cold..remember a certain night in graz at the jakominiplatz

---

Posted by Livestrong on 06.12.2008 at17:26:

 

Parking there shouldn't be the problem Andi, there is a big parking house next to the venue

The ticket says doors @ 08:00 pm, but I think that's bullshit. I have to check, which train I'll get. I'm going to text you tomorrow guys, when I'll be there.

What the FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!! Actually I feel quite fine and not worse than a few hours ago, but my thermometer has just shown 38,6°, I don't understand it!

Now I really don't know if I can go, it wouldn't be very reasonable to risk a worse cold; and I don't know if I could fully enjoy these 3 concerts. And of course I would save bout 55€ for the train.

But on the other hand: It's OPETH!!!!!!!!!


Fuck, now that's a real dilemma.

Posted by Livestrong on 07.12.2008 at11:54:

 

3 concerts? I even don't know, who else is playing tonight ...as long as they're serving some cold beer

---

Posted by metalandi on 07.12.2008 at12:22:

 

I hope you feel better today Walter, that would really suck if you could not go

I'm searching the adress of the arena now and enter it later in my navigation system, then it should be no problem to get there
