I live there...yeah the venue can be seen out of the train...station is called Oberbilk I think and you need to take the S6 (direction Koeln) or S7 (Sohlingen Ohligs) train from the central station where do you come from? Connections in Duesseldorf are pretty good to/from airport or the central train station... |
| pipa Jazz Hands Age: 41 Gender: Female Posts: 326 | There goes the private show...  I'll be flying from Finland with a friend. I've only been to Germany once before and either of us don't speak any German so that's why all the questions. Well, we know scheisse so we're not completely screwed... I asked about the queueing because this summer in Finland the kids really scared me. The first kids in line for the My Chem show were there a week before the show!!! I got there with my friends a few hours before they opened the doors and I think we got to the third row. And that only required a minimum use of elbows. I'm hoping the kids in Germany aren't as crazy as kids in Finland... Thanks for the info about the trains! I'm searching for a nice and cheap (good combination) hostel/hotel right now. Any suggestions? |

But I think it's not going to be sold out...maybe it will be a little intimate...?pipa: wow 1 week before...and I always thought fans of boygroups were crazy and sleeping in front of the venue...but I beginn to realize that some MCR fans are indeed a little insane...but if nobody gets hurt, it's fine with me...I've never been a fan of camping pipa: you don't want to stay in the same hotel as MCR??? City Hostel that's one hostel I know...it's kinda far away from the venue (you cannot walk ) but since transportation is pretty good you could also stay there...or you look for a hotel close to the central station...since you're in like 5 minutes by train at the venue |

| Jewel Killjoy Age: 40 Gender: Female Posts: 80 | I think the trains from the airport go untill 1.15 a.m or something...and then if you miss that one...you'll have to wait untill 3. 45 a.m  but you're arriving at Duesseldorf International Airport, right? Not Duesseldorf Weeze (the Ryanair Airport)? because that isn't Duesseldorf at all, it's more like already the Neatherlands... Second hand shops...hm...Duesseldorf isn't famous for having Second Hand Shops...but you could check out the "Altstadt" (with subway to station "Heinrich Heine Allee" , there are some lovely shops and there are many lovely bars and some cafes...you'll even find several Starbucks there (god, someday Starbucks will take over the world, I swear...we already have too many of them,  but their Iced Coffee is really good ) |

| pipa Jazz Hands Age: 41 Gender: Female Posts: 326 | ^You don't get to do much sightseeing then. Are you going to more than two shows? I've always wanted to go to two or three shows in a row. That would be fun. I'm so jealous at you.  If you're still looking for accomodation I found a few close to the venue. Motel One is only 1,5km from Philipshalle. Berliner Hof-City is about 1,8km from the venue. We booked a room from the Berliner Hof-City. It's also walking distance from the central station and the city centre. |
| Big_Pants Really Not Okay Age: 50 Gender: Female Posts: 711 | No sadly we won't get to see much except maybe Starbucks lol. We're actually going to Brussels, Luxembourg and Dusseldorf and then Sheffield, London and Belfast. The London show is only about 10 minutes drive from where I live so that one is easy! Oh you should consider travelling around next time, it's fun but can be tiring. I'm staying at Motel One. Thanks so much for all your help |
