Monday is quite weak.

The whole thing is pretty weak, glad I decided on Rock am Ring now.

I know a few actually. Puts the Hurricane line up in a completely different light(not to mention Melt!), though. Gotta hurry with Tickets.

Yeah Hurricane is looking pretty good after that last announcement. To bad funds are low.

Boss, DM, Placebo and.... many average bands and few terrible ones (keane).
comparing to last year, it's very weak

Anyone know where I can get some Sunday day tickets at a reasonable price?  

The ticketservice.nl site rejects my UK CC and my bank says it is not them and I know my card is just fine.   And I cant get through to ticketservice to discuss it, and my emails go unanswered, and I'm not in the netherlands anytime soon to buy over the counter...

Frustrating.....

Don't know about that, but I did find references to Belgian and German webshop on the Dutch part of the website: http://www.fnac.nl/ and http://www.bonnshop.de/. Don't know whether that would work for you though! If you don't mind paying somewhat more (than €75): I could find a few international ticket sellers through google.co.uk (> 'websites from the UK').

Thanks for the tip Cheimoon.  I've just found that eventim.de have them listed on their website for similar price to ticketservice and having used them before, they quite happily accept my CC

has anyone been to pinkpop? i emailed them about taking cannabis and truffles and got this response:

According to the Dutch law it’s prohibited to have drugs or to sell/buy drugs. According on the Zero Tolerance policy it’s prohibited to bring drugs on the festival. The police and organisation will search luggage on this.

Best regards,

Buro Pinkpop

maybe not the chilled out festival i would have hoped for. may just stick to one more local instead unless someone can confirm that this is all rubbish!?

It's legal to carry your own personal share (5gr.) of soft drugs in the Netherlands. And normally this won't be a problem at any festival (Lowlands festival still says it's ok), but the last few years we see more and more organisers using the Zero Tolerance policy. Which actually means no soft or hard drugs at all. I'm not sure how security is at Pinkpop, but I've seen festivals where soft drugs has been taken from you at the entrance.

And here are the last 3 names for Pinkpop 2009:
MANDO DIAO
NOISETTES
ROWWEN HEZE

Mando Diao = Nice.

Still think this is one of the weaker Europe festivals this year.... Line up wise.

how come in pinkpop gigs finished so early? looks like only headliners play in the evening

Don't worry though, There are pretty good DJs playing in campsite A and B til the early hours. At least there were last year.

puh, that might save it. Will these djs be announced or wouldn't the names ring a bell?

[branvan]

wanted to ask the same question: will there be a line up/overview/timetable with the campsite dj's?

[tankstar]

Hey guys, if anyone's interested in two full weekend camping tickets, lemme know

[padders]
