Just got an email from Dora at xraytouring confirming Bad lieu at Knust on 4/12

Hello Neil

Thank you for getting in touch.

They are indeed playing Hamburg Knust on Dec 4th.

Enjoy the show.

Best regards

Dora

Gotta go only 5 hours drive from here.

Yup, more info at the Becks Myspace site.

Knuts venue website here/.

At least you'll be able to get a decent beer there!

KWL.

Thread HERE.

You can win free tickets here http://www.becks.de/

are there tickets available? or can you ONLY win tickets??

Anyone got any info?

I'm planning to meet Royser in Amsterdam and catch the train over to Hamburg.

If anyone wants to join us, there's room for you...

Driving up to Hamburg from Holland, 2 hr. drive for me, but would like to meet some of the folks on here before/during/after the gig for a beer (or 22)

Would be cool meeting some of you

How the hell does one get a ticket??? Had 9 "schade es hat nicht geklapt" attempts on their gasteliste

Martijn, can Roy and I come in your car?

We'll bring cds and tizer.

I'm in on the SleasyJet, although JG bagged the only cheap seat.

Can we just buy tickets or is it a Liverpool olympia sized "guest list"?

It could be a problem to get a ticket. The Support Polarkeis 18 had a Nr. 1-Single last year in Germany. You have to try it once a day.

Allright, thanks for pointing that out...i thought one could try endlessly...:(

Is that really how it works? No tickets on sale? I keep trying to get on the guestlist. I've seen more Beck's advertisement in two days than in the previous 35 years. And now I'm beginning to dislike Bremen's best.

It's all in graphics so you can't translate it in google!

Can anyone tell me how you actually enter the thing!!!

click on the red button on the right side "Laß Dich auf die Gästeliste setzen!".

Ermm... "shit... the site has clapped out" ??

Just ran an email I got through Babelfish.

It starts "Hello Unfortunate..."

been "geklappt" once too often ... is there no other way (the Viking Connection??)

It's not, it's shit. Trust me.

Hope this helps.

Allright, so it's a no go then

Why isn't the gig listed on the Knust website?

Is it by invite from Becks only, as i can'tr get tickets on ticketmaster.de as well?

Eeuhm, some help would cool.

Apparently Becksguestlist only. The weirdest way of (not)selling tickets i ever came across

Hmmm, sounds fucked up

i want a ticket!

It seems to be a very frustrating rest of the month because the first thing in the morning in the office is not to win a ticket. Maybe I will try it after work in the future.

It could be end in a disaster. Gig sold out, but the venue half empty.

Is there anybody on here who's got a ticket yet

If we can't get tickets we could always go here instead

Click on 'Weiter' and it just stares at me.

The cunt.

Bet this work PC has an old version of flash player. From 1998. Typical.

Loks like I'm going for a record of aborted, paid for, international trips in 2009. Not content with working for the most recession hit firm in the land I'm blowing my toes off one by fucking one.

Top left corner should be saying "einloggen", after the 'weiter'thingy...from there on it's all a big chance

Quality post - keep perservering - that Chems gig in Trafalgar Square was the same kind of thing, but everyone managed to grab a ticket in the end...

Couldn't you just promise to consume a case of Becks whilst you're out there and then let you in for free?

So did one of the German order already get a ticket?

There are three guys in the german forum, who won a ticket. Two with the first attempt, one with the third attempt. I haven't one yet.

Do you just win one ticket?

Not a pair?

Hallo, Biginoil,

schade, heute wurdest du leider nicht für die Gästeliste ausgewählt. Das ist aber keine finale Entscheidung, du kannst es täglich bis zum 30.11.2009 versuchen, bestimmt klappt es bald.

Wenn du dich einfach auf www.becks.de registrierst, falls du das noch nicht gemacht hast, musst du nicht jedes Mal das Formular ausfüllen. Leider gilt das nicht für das Formular auf der mobilen Seite.

Vielen Dank fürs Mitmachen und viel Glück beim nächsten Mal! Norman Chav

And may i add, what a fucking wanky way of getting tickets this is

Sweet jezus fuck, why o why

now where's my becks..

I AM IN !

Its for 2 and I'll be on me own so...

As far as I can tell got the ticket off Becks promo people, not won. I'd emailed (via the Kontakt form on their site) Knust and asked if you could openly buy tickets. I think they forwarded my email addy. Or maybe it was just my several hundred attempts from just one email addy.

"wow! Wir haben uns mal die Bewerbungen angesehen und du scheinst wohl ein echter Fan zu sein! Um es kurz zu machen: Du hast es definitiv verdient, dabei zu sein!"

How many does the place hold?

EJ aren't you on marios ticket?

the belgian Order is also IN! WOO HOO!

marquis wrote: the belgian Order is also IN! WOO HOO!

Lucky fuck, still no luck over here!

560 tries, they should know my name and email addy by now...

the venue has changed: it is now Markthalle!

marquis wrote: the venue has changed: it is now Markthalle!

Yeah, also got a message from Becks asking me to try again to get in...

A bigger venue! 1100 standing, 500 seats... Oh well, should be fun

Only booked hotel yesterday, in St Pauli :( Nevermind, at least its popular, who's headlining ? U-Bahn will run 'til late.

Jarvo got a fetching blazer and homburg combo going on, not keen on the FT and flower idea, you won't miss me, but can easily swerve me

mario wrote: A bigger venue! 1100 standing, 500 seats... Oh well, should be fun

1100 standing or 500 seats.

1100's good news innit, kind of Tower Ballroom size. Without the 1am start, and plastic Palm trees. Maybe.

i see they are paying burlin the following night with the swet swop boys (says cerysmatic). You flash harrys' not being even more flash them... eh eh

Apparently they play second in Humbug, after a band called The Pollywogs. Polarkreis 18 is headliner. Sounds like the shorter Paris set to me.

According to Beck's Facebook Website:

1. Winner of the support competition: The Pollywogs (20 Minutes Set)
2. Polarkreis 18
3. Bad Lieutenant

Die Beck's Gewinnerband eröffnet diesen wunderbaren Konzertabend im Hamburger Knust. Polarkreis 18 schließt sich mit ihrer vertrauten Mischung aus Pop, Synthpop und Indietronic an. Zum Schluss rockt ehemals New Order Frontman Bernard Sumner mit seiner neuen Band Bad Lieutenant das Haus.

Today's email said, we have to be there until 8 pm.

El Jarvo wrote: So then, no fancy tickets to print off for this according to today's e-mither?

They're gonna have to tick everyone's names off at the door?

Whoever said the Joirmans were organised?

As far as i understand all you need to is print off yer Becksmail ticketwinning message and show em yer passport...to recieve the 2 tickets!

I think, you don't get a ticket. You have directly to go in.

This should be the order. I got my information from one of the "girls" (probably some spotty nerdy guy) who send the confirmation for the guest list.
