It's also written in the Roskilde Festival website :)

In 2009, the band has chosen to play at only three European festivals –Roskilde, Werchter and Arras. We are happy and proud that Coldplay has chosen to play this summer's only Scandinavian festival concert at Roskilde.

Hello everyone ... Just saw the official annoucement for Main Square Festival and I live near Arras so I'd rather go to Arras than Paris in September & I don't have much money...

Would anyone be interested in my place for the Parc des Princes .? I live in the north of france near Lille but I can send it or even find another way to sell it but ebay isn't worth the pain ...

Well, my seat is Rang 6 Place 56 Accès J12.

Thanks in advance. Merci...

any idea of the price for those tickets ??

For example, last year 1 day tickets were sold between € 45.00 and € 57.00 depending on the event, Pass 3 days cost € 135.00.but I dont know if this year it will be the same price

Will anybody go to the Festival in Arras that will last four days but you could only go one day if you want to. Arras is located in Northern France, close to Lille. Coldplay will be there on 2nd of July, the following day Placebo will perform, then the following days Lenny Kravitz, Moby, and Duffy.

Tarifs communiqués le jour de la mise en vente.
Le 2 Juillet : COLDPLAY
Le 3 Juillet : PLACEBO
Le 5 Juillet : LENNY KRAVITZ + MOBY + DUFFY

what do we have?

just for July 2nd, which means Coldplay at 10pm and 3bands before them starting at 4pm. We dont know who they are yet. Hopefully they'll be at least okay bands, otherwise we'll have to suffer til Coldplay gets on :confused:
BUT it's much better to wait front row while bands are playing than waiting all afternoon outside in line ! :D

Cause I wanna know the whole line up :(

Oh i see.. do you think we'll know about the unknown bands soon ?
why can't Franz Ferdinand be on Thursday as well ? :cry:

I just discovered the bands I didn't wanna miss this summer will attend a festival in Poland on the 2 3 4 5th... why the hell are all European festivals on the same bloody days ?

I'm still waiting and I actually won't buy any ticket for any festival if I don't know the whole line up >.<

*Perrine*
07-02-2009, 01:39 PM
I want to know the whole line up too ! Do you think there'll still be places when they announce the others bands...
But Camille, if you don't like the other groups, won't you be able to bear them if you can see Coldplay playing ? ;)

Khalplay
07-02-2009, 02:07 PM
Well, Pepe, the truth is... I'd rather pay 175 euros for another festival with lotsa bands I love than paying 60 just to see Coldplay in Arras, I wanna see them for sure, but if I can spend 4 exciting days somewhere else to see more cool bands, I will.
Moreover if I'm only buying a one day ticket for Arras and that I discover later that some cool bands are added on the 3 4 or 5th I will pay much more for a one day ticket + a 3 days pass. I'm thus waiting in order to know if I'm going to buy a one day ticket or a 4 days pass... or nothing (and in this case I'd go to the Heineken festival in Poland or the Wechter...)

I bloody hope it won't be sold out before the announcement of the entire line up. That'd be a shame. That's how Glastonbury works, and I don't like it at all...

I've just had a look on SNCF website and I notice the latest trains to go back to Paris are at 10.30 pm. It's quite early. They don't show July trains schedules though, it's too early. I'm wondering whether people could get trains at midnight or so to enable them to see the whole performance and not quit to get their train. :dozey: I'm waiting to see how i could get back home after the show. If the latest train is at 10.30 pm i couldn't attend the festival.

Pfff j'en ai marre qu'ils annoncent pas de nouveaux groupes... Je commence à vraiment stresser, parce que à force d'attendre il risque de plus y a voir de places... En plus je trouve aucun moyen pour contacter les organisateurs du festival... Quelqu'un aurait un numéro de téléphone? Merci !
EDIT: oulah ce sujet est pire que mort ^^ dans ceux qui ont acheté les tickets, il n'y aurait pas par hasard une âme charitable qui pourrait me passer le numéro de téléphone à appeler pour le main square? Merci !;)

you know there's this dutch concert called pinkpop, and they have a general rule every year: they announce the entire line up on wednesday (march 4th this year) and sale will start the saturday after (so the 7th) I say that's a good rule and werchter and arras should do it the same way!

yayyy come to arras, although I would prefer you coming to werchter with us the next day :D

)

*I'VE GOT A GOSSIP DRUMSTICK AT HOME HEHE*

Carla : the thing is... you know, I might love jumping in a crowd and being dirty after a concert, I'm actually really into hygiene and camping would be VERY hard for me :lol:, so if I could avoid that by going to Arras, I'd be happy.
But my summer is quite uncertain this year, didn't find any student job, don't even know if I'm staying in England or not, might want to follow Dolores O'Riordan and Gossip across Europe...etc so it's very hard to plan anything and I guess I'll have to end up staying in Paris, working and not doing any of the gigs I wanna enjoy.
Anyway that's why I cannot buy any ticket without being a 100% sure that I really wanna attend a festival, and Arras sounds like the best choice for me if I wanna have fun this summer.
I wish I could go to Werchter with you, see KoL and have a blast of a time but anyway... maybe I'll try to find a ticket to see KoL at London's O2 in june, which would be ok.

And yeah, livenation way of selling tickets is a shame... actually we're still far from English festivals, Glaston sold out whereas we didn't know A SINGLE name this year. Crazy.

I have a four beds room, so if somebody really has to sleep outside, maybe could I do something ;)

@Tibujoli: je suis pas sure que la journée sera finie à 23h... le concert de Coldplay commence à 22h et j'espère bien que ça durera plus qu'une heure !! Enfin j'en sais rien en fait, j'ai bien peur que pour un festival ce soit moins long... :confused:

^ you dirty girl, are showers clean in festivals camping ? I doubt that (if there's any...)

(Actually if you give me more information about festivals showers and if Gossip are performing at the Werchter I could change my mind once again hehe)

actually Werchter announced to have better showers this year

The local councils of Haacht and Rotselaar have ordered all camp-site supervisors to provide free washing facilities (taps) & toilet paper and a sufficient amount of free lavatories on their camp sites. They are allowed, however, to charge for extra facilities such as showers.


I think I read somehwre they'd chagre 4,50 for showering but I really don't care, asl long as it's clean for that price i;ll do it.
I also read the showers would only be open at certain hours, which means lots of tiem in between to clean them ;) also asl nog as you're standing on flip flops, how bad can it be right?

Hi !
For the length of their concert, I don't know at all ... I hope they'll do a complete show ! They begin at 10pm so maybe until 11.30 pm ???
How to get back to Paris... hmm I don't see anything except the train ;)
I don't know at which time I'll start to queue... maybe 1 or 2 pm :/

Oui mais j'ai lu je ne sais plus où que sur ce coup là, Coldplay devrait chanter pendant 1 h 1/2 ce qui n'est généralement pas le cas dans les festivals où les groupes chantent en moyenne 1 h !
Peut être parce qu'ils font l'ouverture ? Mais c'est clair que cela reste très cher : l'année dernière pour voir Mika au Main Square, je n'avais payé "que" 45 euros...

Khalplay

*Perrine*

And Guy's side, how could we resist ? :lol:

Khalplay
02-05-2009, 04:09 AM

*Perrine*
02-05-2009, 11:11 PM
Haha yes --> Coldplayers figgght ! :uhoh:

19-05-2009, 02:17 PM
hey everybody

I will be too to the Main Square Festival :dance: , for the 4 days :D

I've been going there in 2007 and 2008, and it was so great :dance:

I hope it will be the same this year :)

Prizes are more expensive than years before, but when we love...


:)

*Perrine*
19-05-2009, 02:26 PM
Hey !
It's gonna be even more great with Coldplay :dance:

Tu était placé ou ? C'est pas trop dur de se trouver dans les premiers rangs ?

shini
19-05-2009, 02:37 PM
I hope so :D


en arrivant une demi heure avant l'ouverture, j'arrivais en général à me glisser à moins d'une dizaine de mètre, en face de la scène ;)
mais pour coldplay je vais vouloir être au plus près :lol:

*Perrine*
19-05-2009, 02:50 PM
Ouah carrément ! :stunned:
Oui je pense que pour Coldplay ça va être plus dur, mais pas complètement différent quand même !
Moi aussi je veux être tout tout devant absolument ! Je pense qu'en arrivant 2 heures en avance ça devrait aller non ?

shini
19-05-2009, 03:26 PM
je ne forçais pas le passage non plus pour être au plus proche ;)
mais au fur et à mesure de la soirée je finissais par me rapprocher de la scène, avec les gens qui partaient acheter à boire ou à manger par exemple :)
édit: pour radiohead le dimanche soir, à l'ouverture des portes j'étais à une dizaine de mètre, et quand radiohead est arrivé sur scène après 20h j'étais à 5-6 mètres ;)

il ne faut pas oublier que c'est un jeudi, et qu'une partie des gens qui viendront le soir travailleront surement la journée

mais 2 heures avant l'ouverture, tu vas être en première ligne, c'est presque certain :lol:

*Perrine*
19-05-2009, 05:42 PM
D'accord merci ! :nice:
Je pense même venir plus tôt avec d'autres gens de ce site, donc j'espère que ça ira !
Pi y'a toujours moyen de se faufiler ! :P

FixYougirl
06-06-2009, 02:50 PM
Je suis une vraie fan mais je n'ai pas acheté de billet car je ne suis pas sûre de pouvoir y aller. C'est vrai qu'à ce prix-là, ça vaut la peine. De plus, je vais à un concert de qui vous savez dix jours plus tard, je viens de réserver un autre concert pour novembre, et un en septembre comme vous tous. Ca fait beaucoup. Nous sommes 3. Merci Shini pour l'info !

*Perrine*
06-06-2009, 03:00 PM
Je sais bien ;)
Il a pas mal de problèmes de boulot/autres concerts, et pas seulement celui d'être un vrai fan ou non !

FixYougirl
06-06-2009, 03:52 PM
Je ne sais pas si vous avez lu sur la page d'accueil, après cette tournée mondiale ils vont se reposer un moment sans tournée. Ca doit être fatiguant de changer de ville tous les deux jours et tout déballer à chaque fois, instruments et autres, répétitions (sound checking), ...

quelqu'un veut racheter mes places pour le main square.. je les vends prix d'achat 60€ chacune.. BAH oui bandes de patates, faut pas que je loupe l'occasion d'en avoir au rabais !!

Et ouais d'abord, NOUS PREMS ! :smug:
