Show a little faith there's magic in the night
To pick up where I left off in my last entry: We left the first concert a bit early to get a good number for the second show. That meant that we had to participate in the three roll calls during Monday (10am, 2pm and 7pm). The roll calls were in the park next to... Continue Reading →
Due to the cancelled flight from Düsseldorf on Thursday, I had to change my plans regarding getting a low number and doing the roll calls. Oliver and I arrived to Landvetter Airport together (for the first time ever) on Friday evening on the night before the show. As I was going to have a guest... Continue Reading →
After a 3,5 weeks Springsteen hiatus (I had to work) I was more than ready re-embark the Springsteen tour. Let’s call it the “second leg” of the European tour. From now on we’ll see practically all remaining European shows (except for the two shows in London). I can’t lie, standing on the sideline, following the... Continue Reading →

The area also has the AFAS Live arena... Continue Reading →
I landed on Friday night at 23:20 in the airport Charles De Gaulle and realised there were no more trains for the day, so I decided to take a taxi to the hotel. Unfortunately the taxi driver didn’t know any English and my knowledge of French is limited to just a few words: “oui, no,... Continue Reading →
Revived and invigorated from Saturday night's show with The Seeger Sessions Revival we jumped on the Dart train to get a number before the first roll call early on Sunday morning. When we got to the assembly spot we saw that the line was longer than on Friday. We got number 881 and 882 and... Continue Reading →
The Dublin dates are the only tour dates that don’t have any option to buy front of stage tickets. That means that if you want to be sure to be in the pit, it will require a certain amount of queuing. With that in mind we went to the venue fairly early on Friday morning... Continue Reading →
In order to avoid the queuing debacle from Friday’s show and that long and winding GA queue, that snaked around the stadium, we decided on a new strategy for the second show. When entering the stadium on Friday we had spotted another entrance, just opposite ours that seemed to be almost empty. That entrance was... Continue Reading →
We arrived in Barcelona on Friday April 28, the day of the first show, at around 1pm. After leaving our bags in the hotel, we had some slices of pizza and a beer before heading to Stadio Olímpico. The venue was situated on a hill and it took about 20 minutes by foot (using stairs... Continue Reading →
Show day #3! After as sturdy breakfast we went to the venue quite early to see if Ticketmaster would have any GA tickets for sale. The only GA offered online were “verified resale” ticket for about $2000. We had a nice chat with the security guard while waiting for the box office to open at... Continue Reading →
