xlindee Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 What time is everyone planning to queue? I intend to be at the Van Gogh museum at 10 am, so hopefully I can spend a couple hours there before the queuing begins. My mom's plan is to be there between 3.30 and 4 pm, but she said we might come earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marjolein Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I'm glad the seats are reserved. The person who's coming with me has to work that day and wouldn't be able to wait there the whole day for some good seats. This is a lot easier. I'm curious which seats I got!

xlindee Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Shall we meet in a restaurant or something near to the Concertgebouw to eat something together? I know this has been proposed already, but maybe we could really start thinking about a time and place now? Or is it still too early to do that?

lollipop_monkey Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Do you have any idea how difficult it is to know all the real names beside the MFC-names? I always have to laugh at that bit when it comes to meetups. Someone will walk up, introduce herself and be like "hi, I'm Melissa..." and everyone just blinks at her. Then she goes "oh my MFC username is chickenloveslollipops" and suddenly everyone goes "ohhh!!!" and the lightbulbs of recognition are suddenly lit. With your concertgebouw ticket you can ride for free in the Amsterdam public transport! (Bus, tram, metro(=subway)) Yes, I did see that! It's here, in English, if anyone wants details: http://www.gvb.nl/english/travellers/tickets-and-fares/Pages/concertgebouw-stadsschouwburg-ticket.aspx Tha's so cool. We’ve been asked to inform you that the tickets that we’ve sold for the Mika show in Amsterdam are RESERVED SEATS. Sorry for the confusion! Hmm, that's kind of nice. On one hand it means we'll all be spread out throughout the venue based on when we bought our tickets, but it also means we don't have to spend the whole day sitting on the sidewalk. Shall we meet in a restaurant or something near to the Concertgebouw to eat something together? I know this has been proposed already, but maybe we could really start thinking about a time and place now? Or is it still too early? I would love to! I'm getting into Amsterdam the evening before the gig, so apart from my determination to go to the Van Gogh museum (OMG Starry Night!), I'm pretty much wide open. Is anyone familiar with the restaurants in that area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is anyone familiar with the restaurants in that area? :roftl:I had the complete opposite with Violetsky. All day long I called her Violetsky, without knowing her real name. I didn't even ask her:doh: Yeah. I hope I have a pretty good seat. Someone should investigate that area, as Im not really familiar with Amsterdam either.

Going to be so much fun, all eating together:biggrin2: I'm sure Babzz will know. I have no clue what time I'll be there because I have to work till 16.00 and traffic to Amsterdam is usually insane but maybe I can leave a little early.

xlindee Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Oh yeah, forgot Babs lives there:naughty: Aah. Hmm..if you leave earlier, and the traffic would be a bit less insane than usual, I think you could perfectly make it:biggrin2: I mean, it only starts at 8 or something, and if the seats are reserved..

lollipop_monkey Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Oh yeah, forgot Babs lives there:naughty: Yay, a local always helps! Okay I did a bit of Googling - this looks quite close to the venue, and the menu seems pretty good. A little pricey, but I'm getting the sense that a lot of places in that area are pricey.
