Whoa - this place is on the schedule for Feb 21st. Check out the massive Tauron Arena in Kraków Poland. 18,000 souls for concerts.
Is this the biggest venue yet for the Europe tour? If not, which one?
The venue website says the average concert in this venue is 18,000 people, they do not say if that is with an end stage or a center stage.
>> I think O2 London is the largest venue on the tour. They offered over 17,000 tickets for those two concerts. Krakow Arena could be close.
My guess is that with the Q+AL set and end stage, Krakow will have a capacity around 15,500 - 17,000.
Krakow has 15,000 seats in the stands. But only about 10,000 - 11,000 can be used with an end stage for a concert.
The venue website says that they can put 9,300 standing on the floor. After you put in the stage and the catwalk/B stage it should leave about 5,000-6,000 standing.
I will check it out tomorrow night...
I was in Bruxelles when the concert was cancelled... And as I wanted to see them a third time this tour, I booked tickets for Krakow!
* dancing on the table *
I am waiting for tomorrow. I was in Tauron Arena in november on Elton John and Slash shows. It was amazing. Resonance in this hall is greatest in all of polish halls. Please, let me know if somebody know in which hotel will Brian and Roger stay in Krakow? Sorry for my bad english. Thanks :)
You can't imagine how fucking crazy and silly I am!
I was in their concert in Paris. My first time Queen (or Half Queen as a matter of fact). Loved it to the bone.
So I booked the Brussel one.
Well it's cancelled as you've known. I wasted my train tickets for nothing.
Desperately, I booked the Krakow one through viagogo, with a very expensive price (as official tickets have been sold out).
I then bought my flight ticket to Krakow, but being very tired at that moment, I actually booked a flight on 21 Mars instead of 21 Feb !!
Yesterday I came to the airport with my boarding pass, my Queen ticket, my suitcase and all.
And the air hostess told me: sorry but it's not today! And there was no other flight to Krakow either. I missed my Queen concert for the 2nd time in a row.
So now the Queen ticket is still lying in my bag as a sad artifact. While there might be other people out there who long to go to the concert but couldn't affort it T_T
I wish I could have given it to them.
I'm such a loser.
Hi bluenile (I'm new so I grin at everybody) :D
Do you mean "SA" as South America? I would love to go, but it requires me a visa, so it's not that easy. I'll try. I have a UK visa at the moment, so maybe I'll go to their concert in Liverpool/Sheffield, but gosh the resell tickets are skyhight expensive!
Have you guys enjoyed Tauron and the Queen boys?

You bet! But given it's probably their last tour and everything, I guess it'll be worth it!! :D
And regarding this, I have a question for the uk/europe concert-goers here -- do the venues usually release last-minute tickets?
Because I went to a handful of shows of the NA tour last summer, and it happened every single time, even for the MSG show which sold out in one day and the resale tickets were ridiculously expensive. These last-minute tickets were all in very good location too (reserved for VIP people, and released right before the show, so).
Also for the NA tour, there were always instant-download resale tickets on StubHub till the last minute (price significantly lowering in the last few hours too). So if it were an NA show, I would just get my travel and accommodation booked and believe I'll get a ticket. Don't know how it works in uk/europe though, just FYI! :)
I don't know about last minute tickets in Europe, so far I haven't seen it.
For several kinds of events that I went, once the tickets were sold out they were gone for good, or even if they have last minute tickets sometimes, they're re-sold-out really quick.
Football tickets are incredible. The clubs play every weekend, yet they sold out 60 000 seats in a hush every weekend and there's no last minute ticket either.
You might take into consideration that Queen is far more well-known in Europe than in NA. Beside, our Europe is really small, even if you live in another country you can simply take a bus to Q+AL gig. So I imagine that everybody would snatch the tickets very fast.
... anybody with sure information though?
You might want to check @adam_tickets for some last minute tickets that pop up. There are some for Wembley available there now. This is for fans who want to sell and buy extra tickets to each other usually at cost.
