Thanks for the info Lovecat
Thanks for the info for the After Show Party Wilco 

If the acoustic isn't good at the Velodrome, why did they choose the hall and
not another ?
When we are there we will know how the acoustic is

i'm pretty disappointed of the venue change. i was really hoping for a different sort of concert in berlin than in hamburg, that was the whole point. but now both are in these large huge arenas.
besides i was really looking forward visiting the treptow arena again, have some good memories from there. what comes to atmosphere, velodrom is a lifeless place compared to treptow arena.  :x
now i just REALLY hope they don't change the venue for vienna too!

p.s. II : from Tegel Airport?

Directions from Tegel Airport (A) to the venue (B) (not sure if the after party will remain in the same place? Let's wait for Wilco's confirmation)

just a general note: all these googlemaps instructions work only if you have your own car and one can choose which way to drive.
with public transportation one always has to take a completely different routes.

anyway it's really easy to find a way from tegel to the velodrom. just take a bus from tegel to alexanderplatz (there's a direct connection that leaves right in front of the airport) and then change to a subway from there.

Sure!..googlemap is for reference only. However, a deeper look in the map can be helpful, too.

Update: also useful when there's no bus or metro to take. If I remember correctly, in Europe there are very few buses or no buses after midnight.

that's true, most big cities in europe surely miss nighttime transportation, places like london and paris are really hopeless in this respect. :roll:
but one thing i always liked about berlin is that the subway system works throughout the night on weekends (at least it used to, last time i was there).
