Just bought my M&G ticket for Oslo. Anyone else going there?

I'm going there without a doubt, though I'm not buying M&G ticket.  :metal

I see  ;) Me and my friend both got into DT the last two years or so, and found out that the ordinary tickets cost 600 kr, and the package with meet and greet, photo taken, lim ed tshirt and poster, signed 8x10 picture, m&g laminate, crowdfree merch shopping, and early entry for 1500 kr wasn't that bad. It'll at least be an unforgettable experience!  ;D

Yeah, I have no doubt about that  ;) But I'll consider 600 kr to be worth every second of the consert.  :biggrin:

Why the heck is the dutch concert hold in Zwolle?, that's the last place I thought they would play

I agree. This is the most worse place for DT to play in Holland. Even Rotterdam Ahoy would be better.

I agree about the Armadillo in Glasgow being shite. It is almost twice the capacity of the Barrowlands though (3000 vs 1800) and has a much much bigger stage. Even the Academy's stage is too small (remember they moved it to Braehead on the SC tour).
i dont understand why they dont just do it at the braehead arena again it was decent?
The creation and destruction of harmonic and 'statistical' tensions is essential to the maintenance of compositional drama. Any composition (or improvisation) which remains consonant and 'regular' throughout is, for me, equivalent to watching a movie with only 'good guys' in it, or eating cottage cheese.

I agree with you that the Barrowland would be a better venue but the stage is definitely too small. As for the armadillo being the worst venue in Scotland, I would award that 1 to the SECC. I went to see Maiden 3 times last month and the SECC was by far the worst of the lot. The sound in that place is so bad. I have been to a few gigs in the armadillo and the sound is pretty damn good.
yup ive seen a few things in the armadillo and the sound is great but the atmosphere is totally crap all seated = pish atmosphere especialy for a band like dt or periphery for that matter

It's great and just an hours drive for me ;)

It's my home town!
Although the venue isn't that good, but it's really cool to see DT play in Zwolle.
Now I've gotta find me some money to pre-order.

Just bought 2 tickets for the Glasgow show (almost £75! Damn booking fees  >:( ) Not sure what to expect though, I've never been to a gig at a seated venue. Hope the sound is better than the SECC like you said - Prog Nation 2009 at the SECC was a bit iffy, the bass drum especially.

EDIT:
Here's where I'll be sitting:

 
Would have been nice to be central, but it's only 7/8 rows from the front and last time I was slightly on JP's side at the SECC, so it'll be nice to get a better view of Myung this time  :biggrin:

Hehe, yeah. I think that's something many people thinking about before meeting DT.  :biggrin: BTW, are you a member of DTNorway?

No, I'm actually not. I've stumbled upon the website sometimes and heard some interviews from there, but haven't actually gone as far as that. What does it include being a member?

Well, being a member you get one fanzine each year (if nothing special happens), fanclub-present (sometimes, last time it was a calendar) and a ticket to a pre-party arranged by the fanclub. And if you are at the pre-party you will be able to enter the arena before other people, who are not attending the pre-party.  :biggrin: So there are some advantages to being a member imho..  ::)
