as a result of causes, i got curious about the prices of (standing) FOS tickets at the shows that have separate FOS sections -
here's what i have so far - corrections, confirmations and additions of the missing bits will be made very welcome - thanks!

Frankfurt, Rome, St Petersburg, Helsinki, Dusseldorf, Hamburg and London are all seated, so they're not included.
and the Isle of Wight is not really comparable, since it's a festival, but if there are Sunday-only tickets,
it would be interesting to know what they cost, if anyone knows.

Paris: FOS 91 euros?
Budva: FOS (about) 78 euros?
Belgrade: FOS (about) 54 euros
Bucharest: FOS (about) 50 euros
Brno: FOS (about) 50 euros
Warsaw: FOS (about) 110 euros
Copenhagen: FOS (about) 134 euros
Lausanne: ???
Dublin: FOS 116.50 euros

at the following shows there's no separate FOS section - the whole pitch is one price:
Werchter: GA 80 euros
Nijmegen: GA 85 euros
Lyon: GA 75 euros
Barcelona: ??
San Sebastian: GA 73 euros
Lisbon: GA 69 euros
Madrid: ??
El Ejido: GA 86 euros
Budapest: GA 14 900 HUF = about 60 euros
Gothenburg: GA 940 SEK? = about 102 euros
Oslo: GA 810 NOK = about 99 euros

thanks Erikjjf! i've updated it to reflect that

Oslo is just like Gothenburg. 810 NKR, which is 100 euro.

all these gallant Eriks to the rescue - thanks! [passing popcorn]
do you happen to know the price of the GA tickets at Oslo? i've decided to include those too, as you see.



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 2007-05-12 13:17 by with sssoul.

Yes, it is, with Sssoul, I just made an edit.

As far as I know, there are no FOS tickets for any of the Spain/Portugal shows.
Bucharest, which seems to be missing from the list, has FOS tickets.
Lyon also has FOS, at least on the seating chart I saw.

oops! thanks, i didn't mean to eliminate Bucharest!

Best of all with Scandiland... No Fan Asylum package there (don't get me wrong, used them before and they are great).
"First in, first served"

No way to get a front "seat" in Paris, Werchter and Slane, if you want that front row.

... do you mean there's no FOS section at those shows, TE?
no wait - i guess you mean that the Fanasylum groups will be let in first at those shows.

The GA price in El Ejido is €86.
€73 in San Sebastian.

thank you! updating & passing popcorn

with sssoul,
Sorry, was talking about the fan asylum.
Since they have "early entry" you can only hope for 2nd row at the GA shows.

Just a small reminder... Even if they do not sell FOS tickets, they might still operate a FOS security barrier at some venues, closed up with people coming early. I am not saying they will on this tour, but they have done so in the past. There is a difference between FOS tickets sold and a general FOS area based on first come first served.

Bjornulf

that's true, BV - thanks! and even if they don't have a separate FOS area,
someone ends up right up front in a GA situation.
which is why i decided to include the shows where the pitch is all one price in my little survey.

Iterrested in the Hot ticket prices?

>> interested in the Hot ticket prices? <<

no thanks, Tralala - just the standard (standing) FOS and GA prices ...

gentle bump in hopes someone knows the four missing prices:
Lyon FOS, Lausanne FOS (is there one?), Barcelona GA & Madrid GA ...
also wondering about that Copenhagen price - is the face value really 1000 DKK?
if that's really right, it's rather striking in comparison with other prices.

FOS Copenhagen is 1000 DKK + 20 fee.

TE
Oslo

I did a little calculation, and if we take the GDP/capita as an indicator for ticket prices, then the 110 Euro for the FOS in Poland would equal 330 Euros in Ireland...
Or the other way round, Poland should cost around 40 Euros taking the relation of price/GDP of Ireland. Simply said - it's far too expensive. The difference is not that much with other countries.


Belgrade-Bucharest-Budapest-Brno

>> FOS Copenhagen is 1000 DKK + 20 fee. <<

thanks for confirming that, TE. (i've left the fees out of all the prices - at least i hope i have!)
so now i'm curious: is that "normal", that prices for FOS in Copenhagen are like 48% higher than FOS in Paris?
is there some objective reason for that, or ... ?

>> the 110 Euro for the FOS in Poland would equal 330 Euros in Ireland ...

thank you Lorenz - that's what fans in Poland are feeling pretty strongly at the moment,
so it's good to have objective evidence that we're not hallucinating. [passing popcorn]

lyon doesnt has FOS tickets as far as i know...

Life's just a cocktail party on the street

>> lyon doesnt has FOS tickets as far as i know... <<

hm - and Erikjjf thinks there *is* FOS at Lyon, so ... it's a mystery!
someone here must be going there - i hope they'll let us know.

I'm going ... and there is NO FOS. If there WAS, I'd have bought tickets for it.

>> I'm going [to Lyon] ... and there is NO FOS. <<

thanks Paul - do you know the price of the GA tickets?

75 Euros

The Lyon seating chart I saw must have been from some broker. It definitely had a FOS section, but apparently it wasn't accurate.

thank you!

The layout of Slane being what it is, I'll be very surprised if they have a facility for any Fan Asylum folks that enable them to get into an area in front of the FOS part. If they do, it could get nasty.
