2008.02.23 Wien - BA-CA Halle Gasometer (Austria)

[japanesebaby]

Guys, I just booked my flight, I'm travelling to Europe THIS friday

It means I will be able to use my Vienna ticket after all!

The problem is that I will arrive to Vienna airport around 22.00. In the ticket it says the concert starts at 20.00 (and I know there in Europe the time is the time). This 20.00 means the start of the support band of The Cure show?.

hey that's good news but you must hurry from the airport!

both hamburg and berlin tickets said the concert will start at 20.00. i thought this meant the time that the support band will start, but at least in hamburg the support started already at 19.00 so 20.00. meant the cure. yet in berlin they started a bit later, it was well past 8 pm before the cure started, around 20.30(?) i think. at least the support wasn't on yet at 19.00 in berlin. but in hamburg they were, i'm sure of this because i was so surprised they started so early(!).

so let's hope they'll be delayed because of some techincal matters there in gasometer and will be starting late, for your sake.
but you must take the fastest taxi you can find!

Babe, you make me worried about this. I thought (like lacrima mosa) said, that they would start at 21.00. But my flight arrives at 22.05 to Wien airport, until we get out of there, find a car, etc. I think I will be in Gasometer by 23.00. So if they start at 21.00, they will finish at 00.00 so one hour concert would be worth to do it. But if they start at 20.00 or 20.30, then I will see maybe just 30 minutes or maybe NOTHING!

We need to take a decision asap, as the tickets are booked, but not payed yet! (we have to pay tomorrow). So any suggestions are welcome!

Btw, any idea about how much a taxi is from the airport to Gasometer? In Peru such distance would cost no more than 5 euro

But in Vienna it must be very expensive! Any clue?

yes i know... sorry if i make you worried, but i wouldn't want you to travel all the way and then be late. :|
like said, i was quite surprised the support started at 19.00 in hamburg because we were expecting them to start at 20.00.
berlin seemed like there were some delays or they weren't even trying to be so punctual(?) - i really don't know which one was true. i know that in berlin the gates opened later too and we had to queue longer than in hamburg so maybe the venue/stage wasn't ready by the time it was supposed to be.

i do hope lacrima is right... but it would be better to secure this info from somewhere first, i think.
all i can say now is that i've been to three different shows, two shows of these were on saturdays, and the cure did start earlier than 21.00. :!:
i just don't know where it is/was stated that the shows on weekends would start later. :
but i hope it's true!

is there any way to check the starting times directly from gasometer? any contact info there or anything? maybe they do have regular opening times there or something? then again, the cure will play 3+ hours which is a lot longer than most bands. this also might mean they simply cannot start very late.

Not need to say sorry, I appreciate your advice. I just don't want to be in hurry for nothing (cause my wife and me could go to Europe on monday, with no hurries). So basically we would go on friday for The Cure. Unfortunately I just learned today that I could travel from friday (cause I was expecting some confirmation about some personal matters).

in case you have to spend 15/20 â,¬ i think nothing more

Ok guys, finally I won't make it. We don't want to be in hurry and there are many things to do here in Peru yet (as buying some souvenirs for the friends . Plus, the girl who booked our ticket yesterday cancelled it (she was suposse to wait us for payement till 17.00)

So finally we are travelling on monday 25th, arrive to Vienna on 26th, then go to Presov (Slovakia) the same day. However, I will definitely be in Paris, I will be there from 10th march (travelling from Bratislava to Paris by cheap US$39!). By the way, the Lima - Vienna - Ticket was 1060US$ (around 731 euro!), which is a good price I think.

Too bad that I can't make to Vienna, but shit happens. To everyone going there, I just wish you a nice time

ps: I will be reporting with Jakso from Praha tonight.
