I'm doing the 1st 2 nights, but alas, i've already booked my flights and have to be back at work on the Thur :-\ :'( :'(

Oh well. I'm happy with 2 gigs in Amsterdam. Just like last time.
I wont be so tired this time because i'll be travelling a day earlier, so i' gonna party hard this time. ;D

Dutch Beer & mountains of meatballs. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :)

Thanks a lot for all the suggestions
I got a few more questions(I hope you don't mind as it is my first time):Because the concert is standing ,does that mean that all the tickets are the same and you can get a better view only if you go earlier? and if I cannot make it can I get a refund of the money or something because of the visa problem? Thanks in advance  :)

GlenT,general admission is a first come first serve ticket - last year we were in the RDS concert hall in Dublin because the o2 was being rebuilt & it was all standing as well - I'd rather a seat as I like a few beers before & the water works always start half way through the opener & trying to get out & back through a few thousand people is'nt the easiest thing with a full bladder :o :P :P
In relation to a refund,if you knew that you werent going a few weeks before someone on here would flog it for you outside the gig as theres always someone looking for a ticket.

If it aint broke dont fix it!

A refund will not be possible, but don't worry, some weeks before the show you will be able to get tickets, especially for this third one which I suppose will not be completely sold out (as happened in Rotterdam lastyear which was the 3rd concert in Holland as well) So better first take care of you visa and get your ticket later. Presale MK is not necessary, I will buy my tickets from livenation.

Good luck and ask what you like! And keep in touch here, the weeks before the gigs we will plan a meeting early afternoon just near the venue. We have to queue not too late in the afternoon, so meeting will be around 12.00 or something like that.

Yup, I am looking forward to meet many fans again June 28th!! It was great to meet each other at lunch time and spent the midday and evening together. I bet the weather will be a lot better as it was in March 2008, it was very cold at that time!  ;D

GennT Dutchessy has right, 2008 was for me the first time and as soon as the doors opened people started to run!  :o One blink of your eyes and they were gone! ;D It almost seemed we were doing athletic at the Olympic Games!!! This year I will be prepared and do some work- out exercises to have enough condition and be as quick as possible in front of the stage too!  ;D

Btw I also bought for the concert tickets from Livenation and one or two weeks later I had the tickets already at home.

Ok, thanks all for the help.I will try to get the visa as soon as possible and I hope there won't be any problems with that then I'll see and get the tickets as soon as everything is fixed.

So what is the best time to go at the venue? And what do you guys do for 2 hours until MK comes on stage :P

GennT -After having been standing at the front of the queue for around 3 hours in the wind and rain, the doors open at around 6.30pm!   Then there is the 100 metre sprint to the front of the stage and we talk to eachother, get excited, talk to more people, get MORE excited, get to know a lot more people, get VERY excited, then the band come on stage, by then we are EXTREMELY excited, THEN .....MK comes on stage and we are HYSTERICAL!!!  :o

Yeahhh I heard about Kosovo and saw the terrible pictures at TV at the time of the war in the 90ties. I have a co-worker who lived in Bosnia at that time!

I hope you can get a visum and are able to visit concerts of Mark and meet us all in Amsterdam. ;D
