hi!
I don't know if it is the right topic to post it..but I'll try!

we are three friends (2 girls and a boy) and we have rented a house at 8km form Wacken...the problem is the house is very big (there are something like 8/12 beds) and we are only three!
so....if you are looking for a place to stay during the festival or for further informations, plese contact me!
it isn't much expensive...
let me know!!!!!

ps:I know, my english sucks

aren't 2 girls too much for one boy?
how much is the fish, err, house?)

ps:I know, my english sucks

not that quite)) and what is your mother tongue?

 

[BlackNightFall]

heheheh....
no, actually the boy is just the boyfriend of my friend...and he would prefer if the other, hmmmm, 5/8 people were girls or cupples because he's quite a jealous man!
actually I can't remeber how much is the house per night...it depends on how many people we are! but I think is 25 euros per night...less than any hostel, anyway!

uh...mother tongue=italian

wow, how unusual

well, as i still didn't book a hotel i'm considering different variants. mainly sticking to camping.

why not camping, btw?

 

[BlackNightFall]

why not camping, btw?

for toilets and showers mainly...last year there were so many people queueing for a shower
it sounds great to camp, aniway...

Wait until the site is set up to date. I guess no one knows at this moment.

"Reserving"

Hello. I have a small issue I don't really know how to solve. I am going alone to Wacken this year, and I will arrive the 3rd (the day before bands start). The problem is that I'm going to meet someone there that comes the day after. They have 4 or 5 tents, and we would really like to make it possible for us to have our tents in the same spot. And I know that we have to be 150 metalheads to reserve a spot.

So do anyone have a sollution for this? How do I, for 24 hours, keep other metalheads away from "stealing" my friends spots?

It's 50, but that's beside the point.

But this is the wrong thread. I saw you changed it already.

hello, does anybody know when the camp ground opens? I'll arrive in Hamburg on the 1st and I don't really know what to do till the festival begins, even though I might go and visit some museums and the city itself! if you have any advice to give me please do! I'm travelling alone from Milan and my friends are going there just a few days after myself.. some metal pubs and bars to recommend? any advice and tips are appreciated..anything! see you \m/

I always go to Hamburg the Tuesday prior to the festival and the Sunday, the day after. I'll be doing the same this year.

We normally go to Nighlight and Der Clochard. Keep meaning to check out the Three Monkeys but have never got round to it. And of course, theres also the (Headbangers) Ballroom but I've not been there since they moved onto the reeperbahn. They're all in the St Pauli/Reeperbahn part of the city...

SHuttle buses from Itzehoe to Wacken: €8 for a RETURN ticket.

What do you mean by "return"? Both ways?

I only rode the shuttle from Wacken to Itzehoe in the end and I didn't pay a thing, both in 2009 and 2010.
