L. Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Why aren't you coming to this anyway?! Wish you were! No money I'm afraid with Stade de France, Glasto and Wembley... And fingers crossed if I can get my hand on a Casino de Paris ticket, hence the new sig I am shameless!! I do wish I could be with all of you guys but I will see you the following week.

Ah yes, Glasto I decided to get a refund on my deposit for that as these stadium gigs were announced. Was a tough decision but I made the right one for me
seregon Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 I'm going with cereal bars, might see what the holland-and-barrett-y protein bars are like... That's a good idea actually.. easier to pack than crisps which are a bit bulky
cheese on toast Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Having found out the doors open at 3pm I've decided to go straight to the stadium now I know I won't have any money to burn! May as well try for the best spot possible! I agree with this as well.. I just won't have much money to spend at all! I'm happy with heading to the stadium early, but I wouldn't mind exploring Bern just a little bit first.. even if it's only to wander around, take some pictures, etc

[DT|_Me]DEADSTAR Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Just so beautiful! I'm so hoping for a clear sky when we fly in and out of Switzerland coz my camera takes great shots from aircraft! Also hope I can fight my way to a window seat! I'm assuming the Easyjet seat-scrum is on a par with the Ryanair seat-scrum! Just do the online check-in then you're always in group A to enter the plane just after the speedy-boarding ticket holders. Then you can pick your seat. I got good news on your travel-expenses in Switzerland itself. Check Facebook
[DT|_Me]DEADSTAR Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 If this link remains live the stadium is roughly in the middle of the map. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&q=stade+de+suisse&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=Stade+de+Suisse&hnear=Stade+de+Suisse&cid=0,0,415697445693712590&ei=3QvoS-T6PJSuOICT9bwE&ved=0CBsQnwIwAA&ll=46.962807,7.465607&spn=0.041121,0.077162&z=14 I've no idea where the train station is in relation to the stadium mind you! take a look here: http://route.search.ch/?route=wankdorf+bahnhof+%28bus%29,+bern+to+stade+de+suisse,+bern&b=high that's the way (blue) to the stadium (by bus) 770 meters LOL

seregon Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Travel ticket? Â The bus/train doesn't look far does it?
Pip Posted May 11, 2010 Author Posted May 11, 2010 Travel ticket? Â The bus/train doesn't look far does it? Â See my wall on facebook, under one of the stadium pics I posted yesterday
seregon Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Thanks Pip, I have left my cousin a message also incase he has any spares or knows where we can get some. Seems a bit odd these things are rare to get! Â I have also checked in, I am wondering if I should just do an all nighter and sleep all day on the 1st

Seems a bit odd these things are rare to get! I have also checked in, I am wondering if I should just do an all nighter and sleep all day on the 1st  That's my plan! Well, sleep all afternoon after I've dropped my birds off at Mark's coz he's bird-sitting for me! I'm just hoping I remembered to book that day off work, think I'll ring and ask now actually!
Pip Posted May 11, 2010 Author Posted May 11, 2010 No! I hadn't booked the Tuesday off coz I didn't originally need it! Thursday was the first day I booked as I'm off Wednesdays anyway! Thankfully I've got a lovely boss and she's granted me the Tuesday too!
seregon Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Woop, woop! I am now worried about what bag I should take with me.. I don't want a backpack cause that'll be too bulky to carry in the gig with me and will get in the way.. I've taken it to gigs before but meh, it's such a pain. I have my handbag (over the shoulder type thing) that can fit a fair few things I guess I'll have to stick with that As I said before I'm not planning to bring much anyway but now it looks like I could sneak some snacks over, it may be handy to have something slightly bigger!
Pip Posted May 11, 2010 Author Posted May 11, 2010 Love it, your thought process is so similar to mine! Last night I was thinking about what bag to take, will have to take something, pockets won't be sufficient for tickets, passport, money, phone, camera, food, drink etc etc. Gonna go with my string bag rucksack thingy, lightweight and not too bulky. Just hope it's not coat weather, am hoping to get away with wearing a tee and hoodie. May buy a thermal foil blanket just in case. Big boots as usual for standing gigs! No prob if anyone stands on my feet then!
seregon Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Oh god yeah.. I'll just bring something I can tie around my waist incase it gets too hot!
Pip Posted May 11, 2010 Author Posted May 11, 2010 Looking at the forecast for Bern for the next few days I reckon we'll be needing scarves, hats, gloves and brollies!:LOL:

It will also be great if you met us at the airport and travelled with us to the stadium, you being a relative local and all!:) Cheers! OK. when I checked in online last time for London and the other day for Bournemouth I was in group 2 as well but they let me through first. I think it's not called A and B anymore. yep it's 30.- per ticket. So you only need 1? Then I could give the other one to seregon? @ seregon: Are you Natasha on FB? The thing with those day-passes is that some village-councils give them away to their citizens. In my case there are 4 available for each day accessable for thousands of people. Yesterday when I checked online there were 2 left which I immediately signed up for. Some other villages do that as well but not every one. Do we need any more of those? Maybe I can ask a firend to try to get some at her village. The thing with the pick-up at the airport is no problem. I can take you to Zurich for a few minutes of sightseeing, and then or right away come with you to Bern where we meet a friend of mine. She lives like a few minutes away from the stadium So you got a relative local for the journey and a very local one to find the stadium sounds good?

I'll buy you a drink (I can stretch to that for you!) by way of thanks! There are four others besides Tash (Seregon) and myself going so if by any chance you were able to get hold of any more of these travel passes I'm sure they'll be eagerly bought by the others!
trogette Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 I posted on WTFMC on facebook about what bag I'm taking, I didn't want to look so n00by on here Maybe we could see what travel-passes we can come up with and how many of us will need proper tickets and split the cost? Or I would have dibsed the other pass already Is there anyone following the thread who's planning on queueing from early on who could maybe tweet or post here or phone/text one of us travellers to let us know the situation?

Thank, don't make me blush. I always try my best for fellow Muse addicts. Ok, I try to get some more but still, I can't promise anything. I will make a few calls this evening.

Thanks for helping us out, we've needed it, I felt a right n00b only just finding out the price of the train! And yeah I am Natasha I added you to avoid confusion haha. My cousin hasn't answered me yet he lives in Zurich also so I'm hoping he can help us out as well.. I am on a different flight but it's right near Pip's at 9.20am from London Luton then there is Jen (Madam Harkonnen) who arrives about tenish from Manchester? So we'll all be there mid morning And yeah knowing people helps.. a lot!

I only got family in one place and that's the place where I got the 2 and I will continue asking friends. Totally forgot about that: Don't expect buying merch over here! Just for a quick compare: Hoodie @ O2 £35, Hoodie @ Hallenstadion £50-55
