You'll need the passport for the whole event to see the show. The only one day passes available are for the big scene. They'll cost you around 80$ and they're running out. Better hurry and get one if you want to be there.
By the way, they've corrected Voivod's name yesterday.

I think Diamond45 was more talking about dusting his government-issued US passport
As for the festival's pass, there were still 40,000 available as of yesterday (I read that in a local paper). But with the whole programmation now announced, the sales will surely go up in the next coming days, so yes, people from the outside who want to see Avantasia should not wait too much...

I'm a "local" so I'll be there.
I'm there too. We're planning on coming in early around 6pm. Call me Guillaume.

That was a really good show. I thought their music came out way better live than on disc. Even if I didn't know the songs well, I thought they had plenty of hooks and the singing was excellent. Oliver Hartmann was particularly great as a singer. This guy deserves more recognition for his voice. He's also a pretty good guitar player.
Besides Hartmann, there was Kiske, Erik Martin, Bob Catley, Tobias Sammet of course, Amanda Sommerville, and another back-up singer which I don't remember the name. Sasha Peath was also on guitar. Great band that would go over incredibly well at PP USA but I figure they most cost a lot. They said they'll be back within a couple years in North America.
Cheers!

Killer show indeed, even more for me who knew all the songs.
The other singer was Thomas Rettke (singer for Steeltower in the 80s, then Heavens Gate and then for Redkey). Really powerful vocalist.
Hartmann was really impressive on vocals and is also excellent on vox. Looks like Sammet had the flu and fever, but I didn't really noticed, I thought he sang quite well and he's a great frontman.
The 5000-people venue wasn't sold-out, but there were still lots of people (4000?). So, all in all, this first Avantasia gig in North America was a success, the crowd was really into it and the band was very pleased with the reaction. The sound was also perfect for an outdoor venue.

don't be a hater. While I am out seeing the world you are sitting home taking pictures of what you are having for dinner.
