Rock Werchter 2009

[JB15]

This is my first Werchter; so excited about it!

For the drinks tokens, how much does each one buy you? Is it 1/2 a pint of a whole pint?

i want to go, but have no ticket. looking for a 4-day combi-ticket

someone said there were lots of tickets at the entrance in past years... is that correct?

what are my chances of getting a ticket around face value if i show up with my backpack and cash in hand?

some people cancel last minute, or people are stuck with tickets, right? just wondering if i should even try, or if i should make sure to have a back up plan... or both!

thanks!

Anybody know if you can get tickets outside the festival.... I went last year but can't remeber seeing people selling tickets outside.

I have mine....but the gf doesn't and now wants to come!!.

Or if anybody has a combi, and can no longer make it?? have the $$ waiting!!

[geckorlz]

Question about train: do your outward and return journey's to/from Leuven need to be to/from the same starting station? For example, could my outward journey be from Brussels but my return journey be to Antwerp, or do I have to return to Brussels? I'm going to assume the latter, but it'd be awesome if not...

Anybody looking for a Rock Werchter 2009 combi ticket I have a spare as my friend dropped out....

For safety and security I am selling it through ebay and not just straight through the forum....Have a look. We are after a quick sale so the price is cheap!

Anyone popping over to Amsterdam on the way?

Hopefully border control ain't too strict

[Zulizuli]

border control is just fine trust me... not once were we stopped last year from amsterdam... things might change though this year you never know...

[Mr.S]

The Belgian police do sometimes come onto trains from Amsterdam - Brussels, and quite a few times ive seen sniffer dogs standing on the platform meeting a train thats come from Amsterdam.

Its not a regular thing, but it does happen that they check.

That said, unless your carrying kilos they'll just confiscate whatever you have and give you a warming there and then.

[blitz18qb]

Is anybody travelling over on Wednesday and staying in Brussels?....Was planning on going to the Celtica Pub, as was nice and cheap (2 euro pints) and good atmosphere last year, but checked the website and appears its shut due to a fire!.

Anybody know of any other good (cheap) boozers in the city for a pre festival session?

[geckorlz]

Where on gods green earth do I go to print my combi ticket? any english websites? Ive tried a couple proximus websites and they dont seem to recognize my user id. I never got a confirmation email, but I do remember somehow logging in to a proximus website and finding my pdf tickets, so I know that they are there. All the "help" lines just repeat something in french I can't understand. PLEASE someone give me advice: the website to access the PDF's (in english), a help line (in english) - I am amazed that all this information isn't readily accessible on werchter's website....

- go to www.teleticketservice.be click the English button on the top right.

- log in with your Go For music account that you used to purchase the tickets. (you should have got a confirmation email with your login + password)

- Click "Ticket status" under User Menu on the left.

- Your ticket order should be displayed, click the icon under "e-Ticket ou Voucher".

- The PDF that comes up, is your ticket. Print this and use it to get into the festival.

[Mr.S]

Okay, thank you, I finally got them... That was insane. Why all the information directing you to Proximus websites? They were frustrating...

[Sparticus]

quick question, just getting the code so that i can print off my e train ticket. Do I have to book the train ticket as well, or will flashing the e ticket at the conductor be good enough? Also, coming from charleroi (cheapo ryanair option ), roughly how long should i take till arrive in leuven??

[JB15]

another question for people in the know, how muddy does werchter get? glasto muddy or just a bit slippery? there's thunderstorms forecasted for friday or saturday, and want to know whether to take wellies or just walking shoes

Hi all,

I'm unable to make it to Rock Werchter, so I'm selling my 4-day combi ticket (which cost 169 euros plus booking and mailing charges) at cost. Please email me on ffhp4f@gmail.com to work out the details if you are interested.

[Sparticus]

anyone else back/ alive then?

Amazed at how easy it was getting from charleroi to the festival site, saw some blinding performances (the crowd doing the viva la vida refrain on the sunday sounded brilliant ), only act i thought weren't up to scratch were franz ferdinand, very weird setlist and an abrupt ending. Only problem was my voice was absolutely destroyed after metallica on the final night. Other than that amazing just maybe consider selling drinks in 500ml when there's blistering heat lol

[Festival Point]

I only went for one day- Saturday. But was really impressed with the festival. The top notch line-up and amazing weather of course helped. Check out some of my photos from Rockwerchter here
