Official WACKEN 2009 Thread

Post here if you're going, your purchase progress, and if the bill gets updated.

Allie/Xanina is purchasing tickets for herself and I soon. She's waiting for prices to drop more....thank goodness for economic troubles.

Current Bill:
Amon Amarth
Cathedral
Einherjer
Hammerfall
In Extremo
Kampfar
Korpiklaani
Machine Head
Tristania
Walls of Jericho
 
It's almost a fucking year away, I'm still just getting over how awesome Wacken 08 was. Making a Wacken thread before it's even the right year yet is pointless as the thread will simply die out before it gets anywhere near the festival time.

You're gonna use two plane tickets, right?
 
Seriously, just like all the premature "OMGWACKEN" threads for Wacken 07 and 08, this thread will be gone from the first or second page as soon as bands stop being announced. Then around mid-late July it will be ressurected again so that all the people who said they were going but can't can cry about it. It happens every year.

But just for the record: Of course I'm going, I want 3 wristbands.
 
I totally agree that the thread is premature. I haven't even bought the tickets yet much less thought about airfare. I'm just trying to get through today. I can't worry about next year yet.
 
There isn't an age limit at Wacken anyway, hell there's Wacken Merchandise for babies.
 
Ah I have a part-time job that nets me £232 ($378) a month, being a student that hasn't gone to University yet means I don't have any expenses, and the fact that flying from England to Germany and back is pretty cheap.

Although the current exchange rate with the Euro isn't helping. Wacken 07 I swear I practically doubled my money when I got it converted to Euros, this year it sucked :/
 
America fucking sucks...car insurance in NJ sucks even more than the entirety of America itself. I need to have $4000 for car insurance before I can even think of anything else...
 
For that setlist I'm not going, Ima see Amarth in november with Slayer so

Are you a moron or what? They haven't finished announcing the fucking bands yet, there were 64 bands last year for fucks sake.

Christ, try thinking logically.
 
Hmm, thinking about it. Some good names, but I think I'll wait a bit to see what Graspop has to offer next year. I think it will be sold out pretty soon though. Really hoping to see Blind Guardian in 2009. They've been confirmed to play the Bang Your Head festival so maybe they'll do some more festivals.

Plus, a festival is not really about the bands. ;)

There's only one of my five Wacken-wristbands left. I had to pull them off because of a football match and lost them in the locker room after the match.

Would it be very gay to replace them with wacken wristbands from ebay? I always missed them. :(

It don't see why it would be gay, you actually went to the festival so it would pretty much just be buying a souvenier but later on. It's the people that buy them who haven't actually been to Wacken that are gay.

I should have added "yet" to "I'm not going for that setlist"
I meant that there isn't anything on the list yet that make me want to come, Anyway, chill the fuck out.

Good night:wave:
