There is reliable info that there also will be a gig in Helsinki, but I don't know which date. Let's hope that doesn't rule out an extra date in Stockholm :?

Well anyway.... :D 8) :notworthy:

Well anyway, the rumours about Kopenhagen make sense now...

Copenhagen was only a wish, not a rumour ;-) The swedish promoter knows about Oslo and Helsinki, but not about Copenhagen - and I think the point with this mini-detour is to play the places they missed at the Silver Bullet tour.

Awesome! I thought I'd have to fly down to Germany to see them and get drunk and not find my way to the hotel, but now Stockholm...
...and even freakin' Helsinki it seems! That means I can hop on a train instead of a plane. Great news indeed!

seconded!

will be interesting to see how big the interest is... Arenan can be arranged in three different ways, 1400, 2200 or 3500 capacity. The sound is usually great so there is no excuse :D

The Helsinki gig seems to be on the 23rd, haven't heard any more details.

The bad news is that means the 21st is now the only possible Swedish date, so we can only hope it doesn't sell out (too early).

The good news is that the boys will be lucky(?) enough to experience a budget cruise from Sweden to Finland with 10-15 hours without anything else to do but drink (and I mean drink) - that is at least what all other passengers will do :P

According to the official site, the gig is to be held at Annexet. This is most likely to be wrong as the tickets say Arenan. See Fryshuset's site. (Someone probably googled Lilla Arenan and went for the first match.)

The name Lilla Arenan indicates that the capacity of Arenan will be 1400.

The promoter Luger answered to this a couple of weeks ago, and already back then they could see that they would sell more tickets than that. So it will either be, as xfloorshowx mentions above, the middle size (2200) or the big size (3500) configuration.

Have been there twice but don't really remember, but it's no club venue so expect an quite early show (assuming there's no support band). Around 20.00... maybe Euphoria can bring some light to this one? :wink:

Oh boy, ordering from a foreign speaking website !!!

I received the following mail from Tickster after printing my Tickets for the Stockholm show.

"Vi har på din begäran låst dina biljetter för nedladdning. Skulle du tappa bort dina biljetter eller om du av någon annan anledning behöver
ladda hem dina biljetter på nytt måste du först kontakta Ticksters kundtjänst för att få
ditt köp upplåst. När du kontaktar Ticksters kundtjänst ber vi dig ha alla uppgifter om köpet

Can anyone help or let me know what to do next?

Thanks a lot in advance!
