Wacken 2008

I'm going to buy my ticket and book my flight sometime this week. I'll figure the rest out later. Long4 is probably coming too

Who else is going? Can I crash with/camp with some of you euros while I'm creeping around Germany?? I need guidance/advice and this is going to rule!

BMFOhio · Post by **BMFOhio** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 11:33 pm

Is anyone driving there that I could possibly meet up with and head down there with, also? I guess I should iron some things out before I book my flights, but the ticket is on the verge of being purchased!

I'm thinking Berlin, but I'm going to wait a few weeks to book the flight in case I come up with something better (like flying somewhere before and then catching a ride with a pbb'er or something)

As long as that means an actual tent and alcoholic drinks, then

How do you guys meet up? Would we be able to keep our shit in your tent while we rock out? I've got a lot to figure out...

And long4 is a cop and doesn't want anything he posted to ever come back to haunt him or something. He just wants to cover his bases even though he's doing it like he's in the CIA or something...

im asking my brother if he wants to go.

matt please! questions:

1. how much money you plan on spending, itemize the amount too
2. how much does a passport cost and how soon can you get it
3. how are you planning this trip? maybe wacken has a forum where americans can talk about this.

Lumber Jack Off · Post by **Lumber Jack Off** » Fri Nov 30, 2007 12:36 am

well I can tell you that passports are cheap (I think I payed $35), but you should apply for one now, sometimes it takes a while for them to process and send it to you.

Brandon · Post by **Brandon** » Fri Nov 30, 2007 7:31 am

yeah i know it takes at least 3 months, ill get one as soon as i receive my ohio state money in a couple weeks

1. I'm not sure, the ticket was close to 180 american dollars, the flight is around 1200, the hostels I've found are like $15 per night, and of course there's spending money.

2. I think I paid a $90-120ish for my passport, and received it in about two months

3. I haven't really planned too much, just got the tickets, and plan on going and rocking; hoping the rest works itself out through here or people I meet.

I just read this at the Wacken site!! Awesome news. What would be even better than this is if the Infernus fronted Gorgoroth got confirmed too and both bands battled head to head

You seem to be worrying too much. Here's some comforting information to calm you down.

When i went in 03 we flew over. You can get planes (not sure about the US) directly to Hamburg Int Airport. Like any other city there is tube's and buses all over so you can get around the city easily. I recommend that you stay in a hotel located in the Reeperbahn(red light district) called the Hotel Stern www.stern-hamburg.de . We stay there every year. It's close to the Headbangers Ballroom http://www.ballroom-hamburg.de , last year we saw Sadictic Intent there the night after Wacken finished:tup:. And it's always cool to hang out there before the festival. When you are your way to the fest you can easily get a tube to Central Station and the trains run perfectly. It's about a 40 mintue train ride to Itzehoe where you will stop and catch a shuttle bus that runs every 10 minutes all the way to Wacken. Same system on the way back.

I only travelled by plane once. Every year since then we have driven. We get a ferry over to Amsterdamn then drive all the way to Hamburg. Next year we are catching a ferry from Harwich direct to Cuxhaven which is about an hour away from Wacken.

Make sure you all bring custom flags. I cant stress enough how important that is.

BMFOhio · Post by **BMFOhio** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 4:38 am

long4 got his ticket in the mail and I'm still waiting for mine 3 days later, even though I ordered it a day before him

Kellan · Post by **Kellan** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 12:01 pm

I'm going to start planning for this as well.

Kellan · Post by **Kellan** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 12:13 pm

If there's enough people going should we all have our own little PBB camp?

Bren · Post by **Bren** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 2:25 pm

that would be gay

Brenny doesn't want to sit around the campfire and tell Hollis stories while making vegan smores

Bren · Post by **Bren** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 2:49 pm

while you're at the campfire, 59,999 other people will be busy getting wasted whilst watching Obituary
