montana hi egon...here's a few answers but not too much cos i dont live in barna LOL

well here's a map i found: http://www.unav.es/ubicacion/barcelona.jpg at the button you'll see MONJUIC and then ESTADIO OLIMPICO

about the queue...sure you can stand there at any time LOL i bet there will be people who spend the night queueing... sure... hahaha

about FOS...mmm not sure but dont think... for example in Bilbao show there's FOS and it has a different price but not in barna...so be ready to run if you want to be FOS.

that's all...lour

Jumacfly Hi egon
I was in Barcelona for the btb tour , i arrived nearly at 14 o clock, and guess what?
the stadium was empty and anybody was queuing....people arrived during the opener the hothouse flowers....
So IMO, queuing in not a priority in spain.....but may be any of you have different versions...that was mine...Anyway, hope we meet in marseille ok??

cheers

rolling___bunny Another thing....does the concert really start at 10pm or will it be earlier just like in italty? Bugs
06-20-03 09:29 AM
montana no...the shows in spain always start at 22 or even later... but not too much...

egon thanks for taking the time t reply.
don't think i'll show up too early, cos it's probably gonna
be bloody hot.

any case spaniards are pretty small, so am sure i can always
make my way to the stage by pushing (gently of coursse)

thanks for the map lour, but do you know how far the stadium is from the center? (can't find the ramblas on it)

ju my french friend, i will see you in marseille!!!

Jumacfly Egon
to take a great barcelona trip to montjuich, take the funicular from the port...
you can easily find it, you see a big tower at the extremity of the port, it takes you to the olympic hill,you ve got a great view of this beautiful town, then go straight ahead and you re at the stadium....it s funnier than the tube!

many precisions on the tourism books, or at the tourism office at the top of the ramblas (plaza cataluna)

cheers and let s drink to the hard working in marseille my friend!!
