a round up - whose doing europe?

Im interested in going to europe to see new order, im just trying to work out what would be the best bet, the financial side of things is very important,im just interested in as much feedback as i can get.I have to say the barcelona one sounds good considering Iggy and the Stooges are also there. So please feel free to give me any info you have, it would be most appreciated.

P.S. im going to oxegen and hopefully t in the park and would be interested in meeting up with people.Cheers for any help.

I'm not doing Barcelona unfortunately, but will be at the rest. Not doing T but will be at Oxegen. Glasto depends if I strike it lucky on the tickets.

Turin looks attractive

I'm doing everything, hopefully.

Aye Al, geez a loan of a tenner.

What kind of prices are people paying for Barca?

You can flights for around £75 return to several UK airports

Yes, doing Belgium now. Just been on phone to ATR about this one and saw JG and Gordie last night and they're both up for this.

Yeah, that seems about the best deal you can get. Everyone seems to be headed out Wednesday night then back on the Sunday. I'm flying out of Luton with Shug and Hibster.

You sorted anything out yet, Mike?

No been phaffing about, must sort something soon

I got £80 return from Liverpool for Barca, out on the Weds back on the Monday. C'mon, Mike, you can heckle them in Spanish for playing fucking Blue Monday....

Well im a definite for oxegen,a possible for t in the park, and a hopefull for barca.Id also love to do belgium seeing as kraftwerk are also playing, but in going to have to dig around the back of the couch for some pennies.Id love to meet up with some folk.

What websites did you book barca on? expedia looks ok.

booked miune on easyjet - but a word of warning - if you keep checking a flight on it to see if the prices change from the same pc they will recognise this & bump it up on that pc. apparently they aren't the only booking company to do this but nit sure who else does.

so if you've been doing this delete those cookies!

What are you doing for accomodation?

a group of us are renting an appartment.

others are getting a hotel - monster will know more about the hotel as it would have been arranged by the tightest bloke ever

Ha ha! Hope he doesn't read that, Hibster!

Er, we're actually in apartments like yourself. And that's as much as I know about them. I've an e-mail at work somewhere that I need to dig out.

he knows i'm only joking...

i've seen him buy a round!

Im up for a few gigs - as many as possible really.

Is there another thread "a round up of where and when" I think it was called in the old forums? I'd want to get down to ticket and flight booking as soon as possible, and need to get a big map and the internet out.

Is that true?!!! Just read a book about the whole explosion of budget airlines, "No Frills". Very interesting (although I'm sure very few would agree!). Have you got any info on the whole cookies/price increase thing? I use easyjet a lot (not as much as Ryanair tho) and I'm always checking dates/deals/different routings etc. Would hate to think this is raising the price!

Here's a tip....If your flexible with your dates check out this site

http://www.skyscanner.net

They basically show you a graph of flight costs for a one week or one month period on all the budget airline's routes. Means you can cherrypick the cheapest dates to leave and return without spending hours on the airline's site trying out different dates.

Rock Werchter in Belgium looks really excellent. An opening night with, Chemical Brothers, Kraftwerk and NO ...... like a big, wet dream

The other festival not to miss is Benicassim, near Valencia. First, it's almost ON the beach. Second, excellent line-up for the last 5 years. And almost  no chance that the weather will not cooperate. The beginning of August in Spain, is well .....just superb!

try it & see (if you have access to 2 different computers) you'll be surprised.

cheers for the link though.

Barca - yes, Turin looks promising, trying to work out the logistics of T / Oxy, and Brittanny or Benicassim ( have been before ) could be possibles - otherwise keeping options open until more confirmed, V etc

wow.. i'd love go to all their concerts as well, since i'm already here in the uk. ( and i planned to travel around europe after studying as well) but i'm afraid i'll be busy at that time and the tickets, visa, accomodation will cost me a lot... :\ohwell:

so far i'm only going to glastonbury and wireless festival. i hope they'll do some their own concerts after summer ( though it's not so possible) and i am going back here again next year! ( well they say they're going to have a new album next year, right?)

gonna earn some money after i got back home and maybe i'll do an european trip with them next time... :)

might be doing more european ones now as i may be getting a job based in toulouse for 6 months so suddenly they would be easier to get to...
