  1. No, I only remember the Ohio question, but that's cool for you

    Yes, Vienna is a great place to live in.
  2. Just a little update about Vienna and for everyone going/coming to Vienna:

    Wheather is going to be so/so, take some warm clothing, a raincoat, though Monday should be fine, at least in the afternoon/evening, but we have some strong winds here and now they can really cool the air down, it's practically fall. However, I'm sure we won't be freezing during the concert

    Don't know anything about security measures concerning bottles and such, but cameras will be fine and 0.5 litre water bottles should be fine, too. I took them in for practically every concert I saw in that stadium. There are 2 GA entrances, both through a short tunnel, no steps. Usually the entrances are on the other side of the stadium, vis à vis of the stage:

    I was at the stadium today. Vienna public transport is excellent, the metro line U2, of course easy to remember, takes you directly to the stadium, and they have a special system at large events where all the doors open and people are let in in certain intervals by security staff to avoid that the trains and platforms get too crowded.

    Concert is officially sold out with a maximum capacity of 72.000, the biggest number of people in that stadium ever.

    Claw is already being built, however no tip to see yet, only the cranes and the basic structure. And of course an awful lot of trucks in front of the stadium. Here are some pictures I took:

    I have no idea when the band will arrive in Vienna or if they come here from Moscow directly. Rumours are saying they'll fly in from Nizza, maybe there will be a soundcheck on Sunday. We'll keep you updated.

    Everyone coming to Vienna for the weekend already: Enjoy your trip and our beautiful city :wave::

  3. Nice on, thanks!
    I will be flying in on Saturday, gonna spend some nice hours in Vienna.
  5. The forecast has changed to heavy rain and 13°C during the day now, though it should be better in the evening. I will arrive in the city at 7a.m., I am not too happy about having to spend the day in such weather.
  6. 17 degrees and dry in the afternoon is the weather for tomorrow, reliable forecast, don't worry, but take a jacket for the wind

    Really? Screw BBC Weather.
  8. I live in Vienna, we've been watching weather forecast for days. Today it's actually sunny, but not very warm. Winds will cool the air down, but that shouldn't be the problem. We've had very little rain these past days and I'm pretty sure it won't rain much tomorrow. We will go to the stadium in the afternoon. Knowing Austrian fans, that should be early enough.
  9. Now that sounds better. By the way, is there a possibility to store one's luggage at the Südbahnhof?
  10. No, the Sudbahnhof doesn't exist any more, because they're building the new Central Station for Vienna. The old Sudbahnhof is only for regional trains and there's not regular "station" there. The station has been transferred to "Meidling" which is where all the trains are ending now. I think you should be able to store luggage there.
  11. Nice pics

    I see. I am coming on a train from Bratislava, I guess that counts as a regional one and that is why my ticket says Bratislava - Wien Sudbahnhof. Anyway, according to what is written on the ticket I can get to Meidling as well, which should make some things easier. Then I will take the U-Bahn and get to the Praterstadion. Thanks for the info
