Limp Bizkit will probably have the best turn out on main stage this year.
and yeah in previous years if you got there before/when first bands were playing it was possible to just walk into the pit marked with A without any problems but after 2-3 hours it's like Avnon descibed.
2007 was the best beacuse i kept on running in between the stages and in 90% cases i was either in the pit on main or on alternate stage
oh and btw. have a blast guys and gals!
-
it was was way easier 2 years ago and kind of dificult already last year to get into first pit part (A) now it will probably be close to impossible as there will be even more people staying there from morning till last performance. hopefully it won't be that bad for you guys, remmember you can always crowd surf and get at least to the B section
-
aswell give a listen to Shinedown, Sevendust, The Gaslight Anthem, Dredg and quite few more, there's really a lot to see and hear during the weekend
There's some information on main site regarding entrances to pit's on central stage.

I guess it would be good idea to translate it for all the goers

Are there trains/buses running that late? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

We will be arriving at Frankfurt late Tuesday and hopefully will make our way to the festival midday Wednesday. I can see the shuffle bus departs Koblenz 16.30. Do we have any other options if we want to go to the festival a bit earlier?
-
Josh, I think we can figure something out so you can still go with us
-
lol it better be!
-
I think it's time to start counting down the days and if you heaven't yet..... get in "shape" of drinking at least 1 beer every hour lol
-
rummy, i've got no idea about the website (i always bought tickets on train station) from what i can see there are only InterCity (IC) and Express (EX) tickets online https://bilet.intercity.pl/.
There are also so called "Regional connections" and so called "Pospieszne" (both called in shorcut "TLK") slower then Express with more stops in between, without sits reservations.
To the discounts. 37%ONLY students under 26 yrs and ONLY for trains marked with TLK or EX in class 2.
BUT you will have to show a proof of being a student, in poland it's called "legitymacja studentcka" and im not sure how will be the abroad Student ID cards be treated by controllers.
- ISIC is honored BUT only for Polish Citizens studying abroad etc
- Euro<26 card isn't accepted by PKP
About the beer prizes it's usually 5 to 7 PLN in pubs in 3city so the price shouldn't be higher then that.
Also worth mentioning is that you can't drink beverages on the streets but i doubt they will be able to control that over the weekend lol
-
Guevara flag might be not so unique after couple of drink lol

This is the page to check train schedule http://rozklad-pkp.pl/?q=en/node/143
You want to head to "Gdynia Główna" (after typing Gdynia it should come up as 1 choice, "Główna/Główny" means central station for that particular city).
Online/on train station buying, there might be huge queues to cash desk (if it's good weather most of the people from poznan use trains to get out of the city, don't ask me why lol i've stood 30mins in the queue and waited another 2 hours for the train (good that MC is nearby hehe))
They'll probably sell beer in 0.5L cups (that's littlbe bit less then 1pint) but the price seems right it should be around 6-7PLN, in normal shop it will be about half of that
A pizza at decent place is something in between 12-16PLN, a huge burgger is around 6-7PLN but on festival areas they'll probably be more pricy.And about shuttle busses, there are normal city busses running to/from the entrance normally.
While you're still at home you might want to fill out that form they have for people camping on open'er, it's on their site (info point > camping it's there).
-
They heaven't been posted yet
The stages will in 99% be in the same spots, the only difference from last year will be probably missing camping ground A7 and car parking next to it, there're construction works in that places from what i've seen.
I've only got camping grounds layout from 07 but the entrance was in different place and there was a parking (which turned out to be a camping place afterall lol) and now it's in a way of main entrance

I think it's enough to say last year we saw mist every night, it even got mentioned by Richard Ashcroft from the Verve (as he thought it was a smoke machine lol) and burning sun during the day which most of us suffered from.
Hint: remmember not to fall asleep during the day outside the tent without sunscreen on lol

hahn airport is middle of nowhere but i've been able to get late bus two years ago.
there's a bus at 00:30 Kastellaun 00:55 01:35 bis Köln, Hbf 03:00 (Bohr) Abfahrt an Haltestelle 7
the other part is what to do at koblenz train station at 1:35am lol (buses to ring are running from 10am or something like that)
you can try to get a taxi from there to nurburgring with some people (chances aren't that great) it was around 100-120euros from there, or just get a taxi straight from hahn
-
Camping grounds "officialy" open on midday wednesday, at least they did in previous years but you can camp there even before that. "Officialy" means that you can get wrist bands from that moment aswell.
If you end up getting there after midnight (when those offices giving out wrist bands are closed on wednesday) you can get it with just showing the ticket to security
and about the camping stove, I've got no idea hehe
-
There's a chance to get tickets on the ground, in the actual price that they were bought, 125,135 euros. There are people whos friends couldn't make it or so and are getting rid of tix just to get money back, early thursday is probably the easiest way to find tickets like that, there isn't lots of them but still that's an option if nothing comes up

in years prior to 2008, there were only 2 barriers (stage/pit barier and pit/rest barrier) even on main stage, i was able to get in there without much hasle on most concerts in 2007, with 3 barriers in place it's almost impossible beacuse there aren't alot of people going out of these areas and "circulation" isn't that great beacuse people know it will be hard to get back in the same spot, you had to be next to the barriers before concert started. On most popular bands, metallica playing after offspring, they weren't leting anyone into the pit in between concerts beacuse it was so packed.
I've noticed alot of people just staying there for a whole day or a half when in 2007 you could run in between stages and get into the pit beacuse a lot of people were moving between stages
Rock am Ring 2009
in overseas festivals

i wonder if they were able to get out Joshs inflatable sofa out of those toiles lol don't be suprised if you see one
Toilets aren't that bad on rock am ring and the best trick is to use those on the parkings, they are always clean beacuse almost noone uses them and they get cleaned just like every other toilet on campings
I would be landing in frankfurt right about now and would of been on the camping in about 2 hours maybe next year
