Open'er 2009

[modestd]

Yeah, im still debating whether to smuggle a few dancing pills in my luggage or risk not taing any and trying to get a few there??

[merkin69]

was hoping i could buy there.

def not worth the risk taking your own if your flying etc.

[Madalien]

A freind of mine told me that the little fellas are about 10p each out there!! poss a little more in the festival itself though.

Anyone help me out with finding cheap flights?? doesn't have to be to Gdansk, anything appreciated.

Can't fookin wait

[merkin69]

I'm flying from London Stanstead to Bydgoszcz, it doesn't seem to be too far from the fest, 3 hours on the train I think. I got the flights for about £80.00. Flying out on the Wednesday and flying back on Monday.

Where is your nearest airport?

[Madalien]

Liverpool/Manchester but we're down Glastonbury untill the Monday, so we could just stay in B&B down London way I suppose. Cheers for that gonna check it out now!!

[merkin69]

No worries,glad to be of help. I'm going to Glasto as well, were not gonna have much time to recover before heading off to Open'er! I really didn't wanna miss out on Open'er though, i'm pretty sure I can hack it, as long as there is red bull to keep me going

[Madalien]

Haha,It'll be intresting!! normally takes me a week to recover from ther big G.... I went around my polish friends last night trying to get the jist of polish culture, it ended with us necking shots of vodka. Good times ....Just hope these 29yr old bones hold out for the 2 weeks of festivaling mayhem!!!

[modestd]

Talking of bones I broke a couple of mine earlier this year, I broke my ankle infact, i'm walking again but i'm hoping i'll be back to normal by Glasto, so two festivals back to back probably wasn't the best idea! I'll just have to take it easy I reckon

[merkin69]

Theivery Corporation are out.

Im not really sure who the are so im not that fussed.

i thought i knew them but i was thinking of the International Noise Conspiracy.

[Madalien]

How many more "big name acts" can we expect? Not too botherd just can't wait for the adventure to start....but it's always good having a few bands you like playing!!

[merkin69]

I'm not sure how many more they will announce, a few more I hope, don't you like any of the bands that have been announced so far? I think it is pretty good so far

[merkin69]

Double post, booooo.

Yeah the line ups wicked, some great bands on apart from Duffy ( just sick of hearing that song, it's been on constant loop all year!!). I'm just thinking that because it's 4 days it could do with a few more. Either way not to bothered, just wanna get there!! I 've never seen basement jaxx they are meant to put on a top show.

Can't wait to hear the new Prodigy stuff live, love the Kings of leon and arctic monkeys. White lies, fat freddys drop and placebo will be good too. Who are you looking forward to most of all?

Hey guys. Me and my mate will be taking in the Open'er Festival as part of our Eastern Europe tour. Flying to Berlin, then on to the fest, then through Krakow, Prague, Budapest, Zagreb, Plitvice, Zadar and home.

Anyway, we're planning on camping and we'll have big backpacks with us, which isnt ideal for security, not to mention filling up our tents. Any idea if there are lockers or anything like that... suggestions welcome.

Really looking forward to it already

Cheers

The Killers won't appear at Open'er for sure. They are confirmed as headliners of Coke Live Music Festival - another festival made by Alter Art and it was said that there won't be any bands playing on both events. Also, we can exclude the bands from Selector Festival, as somebody wrote before.

Re-Klaudys,

I just have a few simple questions, i know they say no bringing of alcohol, you were talking about getting alcohol into the campsite, will it be alright to get it into the campsite, i understand about not getting it into the event area, but if i was to bring it into the campsite, would i get away with it!? Just 4 days of Heineken, i'd say by the 3rd it'll be tiring, haha!

And another, once you have the wristband, can you come and go as you like to/from the festival, for example, to the town and the beach!?

And, i'm fly in late on the Weds evening, maybe after 11, will i be able to enter the campsite from this time, or will i have to wait until the morning!?

Probably the usual questions, but i'd just really like to be able to know about alcohol etc.

Hope you or someone can help me out!

Can't wait for this!! What a line-up and for such a great price!!

I hear that the free festival shuttle buses from Gdynia train station don't start running until the 2nd July. I'm arriving late on the 1st at around 10pm. It seems there are trains from Gdansk to Gdynia but does anyone know about getting to the festival site from Gdynia at that time?

___________________________________________

For anybody looking for cheap flights they're free with Ryanair from Frankfurt (Hahn) to Gdansk so all you're paying is taxes n all that, so about EUR 34 for a return.

I'm just not quite looking forward to the overnight stay in Hahn on the way home... it's in the middle of nowhere!!

hi,

my friends and i are looking at going but it looks like were going to have to fly to poznan. can anyone tell me how much a train ticket is from poznan to gdynia and if it costs the same to buy the ticket at the station as it does online?

cheers

[thosebananas]

Just booked tickets and flights/transfers from glasgow

we are flying in early morning on the 2nd. will be at the festival untill the morning of the 6th. and then spending the 6th and 7th in Gdansk. sleeping in a hostel, and flying back on the 8th. probably spend a day in the city and day at the beach.

Total price for festival tickets, flights, trains/buses and hostel is about 220 quid. f**king epic for a week in poland.

Can anyone advise on the price of booze and food? ive heard things like litre of vodka for £4 and big pizzas at £3..?

hope to see you all there.

Hi, my friends and I are flying into Bydgoszcz, which is about 3 hours train journey from Gdynia, I've been told the train is about £7.00 single! I shouldn't think it would be much more from Poznan. Where are you flying from?
