    I have not so fond memories of getting in to the arena and sprinting towards the rail last year. Remember the Instagram vid by Alessandro of people running to the rail in Milan this year? It's just like that. But worse.

    Tickets in my pocket. Standings. Reasonable priced (€44.50).
    The second ring is not for sale. I imagine they don't expect that many people...

    that's standard; first they sell the first ring. except for the biggest concerts. (NIN is sub-top in popularity in Europe as you know ;-))

    Watch the map: http://www.lotto-arena.be/img/zaalpl...lottoarena.pdf

    They don't sell the yellow and blue seats/standings for the moment.
    They try to sell first the others: arena standings and first ring seats/standings.

    The first ring says now "sold out".
    The second ring wasn't open from the beginning of the ticket sale (tactical strategy).
    Still tickets floor & seats for sale.
    Little strange. You'd expect the floor tickets would sold out first.

    A few times actually. Last time for Atoms for Peace. The sound was a disaster, music was completely drowned in echoes. I'm hopefull Trent and his people can get it right so don't worry too much about that.

    It is like a Zenith for those who know French venues, while Sportpaleis is more like Bercy.

    I've been in both, Sportpaleis to see the queens (sound was really good, but that's because Hutch is a genius) and lotto arena to see slipknot. As sound was quite good for slipknot I can believe that anyone else could have a good sound there.

    They say the sound in Lotto Arena is the worst possible.
    But what a good job the sound engineers did in the Manchester arena, just incredible.
    If they can pull this off here... the sound was well balanced, loud and not blurry in an arena for 22000.
    But i repeat the Lotto Arena had the worst sound reviews.

    Sound was ok with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and with Gorillaz. Indeed terrible with Atoms for Peace.
    But it is possible :-).
