Thanks, there were just so many tickets for Saturday up for grabs (at one point 18!) that I just had to call out to the fan community. This bout of tickets came rather unexpectedly. Also the time of day was unusual. Tickets even popped up in groups of 4. For anyone who wasn't lucky, keep checking like an utter nerd.

Thor 7,504 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Not that it's interesting to anyone, but I've now booked a room at the Motel One Berlin Mitte from Wednesday to Sunday, just because it's close to Kreuzberg, where I haven't stayed before. Anyone in the proximity wanting to hang out, I'm all for it. By the way, has anyone made any initiatives for get-togethers? I seem to remember a separate thread about it....

michael_grig 472 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Well, I live in Germany, so I might hear some of the politics. The numbers are rising very sharply right now. But I don't think it's so uncertain that the concert will take place, because now the politicians don't want to look at the infection figures per se, but at the hospitalization rate. We have a very good health care system, so this should not be a problem too quickly. And I think for vaccinated and recovered people (2G rule) it will not fail at all. Currently, one test is enough (3G rule), but let's see how that will hold up with such high numbers. By the way, the tests are no longer free of charge from 11 October in Germany, which is perhaps somewhat inappropriate. 6 minutes ago, Jurassic Shark said: At least people won't think you're crazy when belting out Korah!

Thor 7,504 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 My worry about sitting in the choir section is my tinnitus. I've sat there before, for example with the Oslo Philharmonic, and it's right behind the percussion section, which gets really loud at times. Seems odd to bring earplugs to a symphonic concert, but I might just have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post heritage 73 Posted September 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2021 I have no doubt, that the three concerts in Berlin will take place. I´am sure that JW will be vaccinated and in October we have 3G or maybe 2G for people who want see the concert. The Berlin Philharmonic is open for 2000 people. They have a special climate System installed. If the concerts would be cancelled they would have already done it. A new Lockdown is excluded from politicans in germany. Another fact is, that JW must not in quarantine in germany because he will be vaccinated. So i see here absolutely no problem for the concerts...

Of course not, but the question is firstly whether there will be one at all and secondly whether this also applies to those who have recovered and those who have been vaccinated. If vaccinated and recovered people were not allowed to attend the concert, my understanding of fundamental rights would definitely raise doubts.

Vaccination statistics of Norway from yesterday, Friday 10 September: 18 or older: 1st shot: 90% 2nd shot: 79.8% Well, originally, Germany was behind because it forgot to order vaccine (together with the EU). But now I think we've reached a level that's not going to go up very much. I admire the Scandinavian countries because they are always so progressive, which is shown among other things in the vaccination rates. Well, in two weeks we have federal elections, and it looks like the emergence of a left-wing government (hope that does not violate the forum rules).

There's been criticism against our government because they opted out from ordering vaccinees independently when they became available, because they were already getting vaccines through the EEA... which got delayed. Anyway, it was during the summer that we really got the vaccination speed up, when the number of doses received increased dramatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will not fly back to LA because the Boston - Berlin flight is significantly shorter and without switch the plane.
