Some newbie questions please...

[wann]

I'm planning on going to Wacken this year for the first time but I have some questions.

- What is the age limit for drinking (is there a difference between beer and stronger alcoholic drinks?)? And is this really checked? How much do these things cost?

- Can I bring some of my own stuff with me like the vodka that's lying around here?

- Are there any Dutch people going by train who I can travel together with?

hi!
alcohol-drinking not allowed till the age of 16 and i think everything with more than 20 vol.% not under 18...

you can bring your own stuff to the camping-area (as much as you want) but not to the festival-area

dutch? haven't seen anybody

No idea on limit for alcohol, no idea if they check it if there is one.

You can bring stuff to drink to the camp ground, but not into the festival area, in there you gotta buy whatever you need for drinking.

There are some Dutch guys around, lets see if they observe the thread.

OK. thanks for your answers so far.
If (when) I run out of stuff I might just ask someone over 18 to buy it for me.

Nobody ever asked me about my age when I was buying alcohol ...but since I am 18 they just started to ask me for it Thats fucking funny

 

[wann]

Haha. Over here they sometimes ask me when I want to buy beer (16+), but noone has ever asked me when getting tequila (18+) or something like that.

Speaking of Dutch guys, Supercharger (Ray) hasn't been here for so long.

Anyone heard from him?

I have contact to him via MSN Messenger whenever I am in Bamberg (which is not very often because I have university holidays right now, until Monday ).
He's fine, he's got a nice new girlfriend apparently, and he's busily writing reviews and having interviews for a Dutch e-zine called www.zwaremetalen.com and he's a GOOD interviewer!
Well, he doesn't miss anything in here, does he...

@wann: Supercharger is a nice guy, from Deventer, but I'm not that sure if and how he's going to WOA this year. But I think so...

oh, and they usually don't check how old you are, at least concerning beer and mead...but I must say that I've never bought "stronger" stuff so I don't know about that

By the way, you ARE allowed to take "Tetrapacks" to the festival (!) area. Up to 1,5 litres, I think. As long as there's no alcohol in there. But juice or water...no problem. At least last year!

If you can get to Aachen, you might be able to get a lift from there with some German people, in fact if you want to travel on Thursday, I could probably even organise you a lift from there with a friend of mine...

Thanks some more for your answers everybody.

Thanks for the offer, I'll think about it.

Now for my next question: I wanted to order a ticket from metaltix.com, but I was looking at the ways you can pay... Can anyone tell me what 'Nachnahme' means? I wanted to ask them but their contact-page is missing (http://www.metaltix.com/index_kontakt.php).

actually when I was 29 they asked for my passport when I wanted to buy a bottle of sparkling wine
But that happened definitely NOT at Wacken

Yep, I still got it ...

I can't judge the age of someone and if my live would depend on it

Can I take some absinthe from czech with me to germany ?
