i'll just go to work half an hour later (need to see the "doctor" tomorrow morning. - dr john, lol! ), otherwise i'd only be able to buy tickets in the evening. don't wanna wait that long, though i'm sure it won't sell out that fast.
he speaks a bit of german, but only on stage, and at the munich gig 2 weeks ago he translated everything into english as well.
leipzig might be, i saw on their website that for some pop concerts it's seated. depends on the artist i think. it's still general admission though, like it was in the berlin church. so no need to be fast.
btw, i've decided that i'll buy tickets for all the german gigs and basel. and how to get there, i'll decide in january or so. well, there's always interrail, that's definitely a possibility.
