Rock am Ring 2010

It depends. Usually, if you want to see the headliner from A, you need to be there 2 bands before. Don't ecxpect it to be fulll for pendulum, so you should be fine.

cheers for the info on getrankemarkts. will have a look on our map and work out whether we will be able to stop off somewhere

as for the mosh pit filling up i think it depends on which bands are on, but in previous years i have aimed to get to the front during the set immediately before the band I want to see.

Having said that tho, this i haven't been since they introduced the traffic light system last year (?) so it might be a bit different now

Anyone know of a cheap hotel in Koblenz? I am just about to load up expedia and have a little look, we will be in Cologne for about 8am Tuesday morning!

[jiggerjay]

why dont you stay in Cologne / Bohn?

[Squig]

So we are up and ready for the first shuttle bus, which I have no idea when!

[jiggerjay]

Not worth it. The best spots will be taken by groups with cars anyways.

I hope so, friend of mine is going out from work at 9.40 p.m. on Tuesday so we will also be there at wednesday afternoon...

[Squig]

Hard to tell. There is enough space, just some of it is ridiculosly far away. We'll arrive Tuesday night, just like the last years.

last year we got there on thursday evening, and had to try to find space for 3 tents, plus keep space for 3 more tents for people arriving from spain at about midnight. that was a struggle. we virtually camped in a roadway and i think we might have pissed some people off, but we were still miles away from anywhere.

this year i am hoping it will be a bit easier to find somewhere a bit closer if we get there early enough

just over a week away so what campsite do people normally head for

[Squig]

The closest one that isn't full yet. In my case B3.

Not a festival virgin, but I'm a "foreign" festival virgin...

How much money would you recommend taking? I'm planning on taking about €100, and taking stuff like rice and pasta and a gas cooker, so won't need much (if anything) for food.

[Squig]

I usually plan 50€, incl buying a t-shirt. But I don't buy any drinks and get drunk on the camping, plus bring a tetra pack each day.

[Squig]

Yeah my 50€ obviously don't include gas money and buying supplies beforehand.

[ajtaylor]

Awesome, thank you. Will take a bit extra, just in case. At least my Euros won't go to waste, I'm popping back over for Pukkelpop in August anyway.

Cheers!
