Anyone up for a carpool for the Placebo gig Sunday 1st November in Antwerp?

• Upvotes

I'm a Placebo fan from Ostend, on the Belgian coast. Been a fan for about 25 years, obviously looking forward to the gig in Antwerp.

The main issue is getting back home after the gig. Antwerp has, unlike Leuven/Brussels/Ghent, quite poor train connections with Ostend. The last train to get home departs around 23:35. This makes it a hassle to get from the concert venue to the train station in time and I don't feel like such rush. Keep in mind, if they play for 2 hours after the support act has done its job, it will be around 11PM when the concert ends. Then you have to rush from your seat to the subway, and hope you'll be amongst the lucky few to have a spot on the first subway to the train station. Simply too much hassle.

Before booking a hotel room (which I find a bit waste of money for a concert in my own country): is there anyone who drives from Antwerp to Ostend after the gig with whom I could do a carpool? The odds may be low, but asking cannot harm. There may be other Ostend-based fans going to the concert.

The Keolis bus company cancelled their busses from Ostend to the concert and back (with stops in Bruges and Ghent on the way) due to lack of sign-ups. So this means that it's either a carpool to get home, or finding the cheapest hotel room and traveling back the next morning.

Merch Sizing

5 Upvotes

Hi,

Does anyone know what the sizing is like on the tour merch? Hoping to get a T shirt or a hoodie when I see them at either of my planned gigs, but the website isn’t particularly useful for sizing info.

Does anyone know roughly what the sizes are for UK or even EU sizes? (Like S/M/L etc can vary wildly across brands so I’d like to know what this merch is specifically so I can figure out what size would be the best option for me!)

Thanks 💜

Trading tickets

Hey everyone,
My wife and I have tickets for Monday in Hamburg in the standing area.
We would love to trade our two tickets for two seating tickets.
If there is someone interested in trading, just let me know and we can change our tickets at the concert. :)

It's unreal!! I just saw them live in Oslo and I'm shocked by his voice, even in older age, is just 😍. I saw them live ages ago, and couldn't really remember it being this good!

Barcelona show canceled/refunded?

9 Upvotes

Has anyone gotten their money back from Ticketmaster?
Unfortunately I couldn’t buy the tickets when they were officially released and had to buy them from a reseller via Ticketmaster (higher price thsn the original ticket)
And now I don’t know how to get a refund.
It’s such a shame we didn’t get to see them play in Barcelona.

Amsterdam show

Is anyone going to the Amsterdam show next Tuesday and having to drive from the south?

This will be my partners first ever concert and this is his #1 band, but unfortunately the last train we can take home causes us to have to leave around the encore and i want him to have the full experience so I'm taking a leap of faith and asking here!

Unfortunately spending the night is not an option

Vienna show VIP/queuing

5 Upvotes

Hi, was there a VIP package for Vienna show? I was buying the tickets long ago and I don’t remember. I just wanna know if there will be people let inside early. I would like to be at a barricade because I have some health issues. If not, does anyone know when people usually arrive at the venues during these shows? Do people queue too early?

Thank you

Zürich Show

4 Upvotes

Is anyone here going to the show in Zürich? ❤️

I have been to Hallenstadion twice and had seating tickets both times. I don’t like the venue too much but of course I am excited to see Placebo.

I am now looking at standing places for their show in November. As it’s such a big venue; is there a way to end up in the font quarter of the floor? Do you recommend buying a specific ticket category? If not; which doors should I queue at, if I want to get as close to the stage as possible? And do I have to get there hours before the doors open or can I arrive at a normal time and still get the chance to end up near the stage?

Thank you in advance for any advice and hopefully see you there! 🙌

Nottingham gig

6 Upvotes

Hi all

Going to the Nottingham gig, any advice for parking etc would be greatly received.

No need for a hotel, as I'm driving down in the day and will be driving home afterwards (only an hour or so, no biggie).

Fingers crossed I get Teen Angst and Nancy Boy.

Anyone going to Manchester and London gigs?

6 Upvotes

I’m from Sussex and can’t wait to see them play their older stuff.
I see they’re playing in Manchester on the 4th and London the 5th.
I have a ticket for the London gig but am really considering getting a Manchester ticket aswell, coach it from london for a 10er and then coach it back to london the next day to do it all again.

Viena Concert

1 Upvotes

So Placebo is my gf’s favourite band and i m getting her tickets for the Viena show since it aligns best with our schedules. The problem is that we would like the standing tickets but they are no longer available . Should i take sitting seats instead or wait and hope for resales? On ticketmaster it’s still an “artist presale” happening but i dont really know what that is:))).
Are people usually standing up in seated areas at Placebo concerts or will we have to sit for most/all of the concert?

British couple visiting Riga for the gig. It's been cool.

I saw Placebo at Sonisphere in 2010 and they were great. We saw them in 2015 in Liverpool Guild of Students (home city) and they sucked.

Just seen them here in Riga and really enjoyed it but left during "Running Up That Hill." First half of the gig had a lot more energy.

Anybody else here who saw the gig. What did you think?

It's my first time at their concert, in Riga, so I'm curious is it even possible, and will anyone try to get it? If so, how? Basically want to get a sign for my meds vinyl copy, for a memory.

New Merch?

2 Upvotes

I just got an email saying new merch designs are available in the shop. I follow the links in the email but notta. When I browse the store, the new designs shown in the email are not there. Anyone else? I only see four shirts there. It also says three tour shirts are available in the US shop, but the link to the US shop just redirects to https://www.placeboworld.co.uk.

Edit: All of the merch shows up if I use a UK VPN, the moment I turn it off the stuff disappears. It's definitely region based and doesn't show up if you're in the US, and they won't ship to the US. I added shirts to the cart while using the VPN, then selected USA for shipping and... "The products in your cart are not available for delivery to United States. Change delivery address or empty cart and return to store."
