I am the happiest person in Turkey today
It is now officially announced. I have already purchased my tickets (entrance & front row). I am sure Trent & Co. will blow the living air out of other performances in the festival this year. Let's wait and see  | |

Hey guys, i can't for the life of me seem to get some decent info in english regarding this Festival so i hope you don't mind answering a few questions:
1. I've noticed on biletix.com you can add a 'front of stage' ticket to the NIN show for extra cost, what's the difference between those and a regular ticket? i mean, how close does it gets you? 2. How close is the festival ground to the Airport in Istanbul or Antalya? Any idea what's the easiest/fastest/cheapest way to get there from the airport? 3. Is the lineup complete or are we should be expecting more bands to announce? I think that's it for now, thanks in advance | |

1. I've noticed on biletix.com you can add a 'front of stage' ticket to the NIN show for extra cost, what's the difference between those and a regular ticket? i mean, how close does it gets you? You have to purchase an entrance ticket priced at 65 Turkish Liras for a single day (July 18th for NIN ) If you want to watch the NIN performance from the front-row (reserved to 250-300 people), you have to purchase that additional ticket as well for an additional 30 Turkish Liras. A front row ticket without a regular ticket is useless. Front-row is separated from the others. You show your front-row ticket to the security guy and he opens the gate (plastic or wooden I don't know ) and you're there... As close as possible 
2. How close is the festival ground to the Airport in Istanbul or Antalya? Any idea what's the easiest/fastest/cheapest way to get there from the airport? There are two airports in Istanbul. If your plane lands on to Sabiha Gokcen airport, then you are lucky because the festival area is very close to that airport. You just tell the name of the Rock'n Coke festival and I bet you'll be there immediately. There should be special buses reserved for that festival as well. But if you land on to Antalya, then you have to take another flight to Istanbul or a bus maybe. 3. Is the lineup complete or are we should be expecting more bands to announce? Lineup is complete for the mainstream bands I guess. But the alternative stage performers haven't been announced yet. | |
NMA posted: I'm so glad I read this -- I misunderstood the website and only bought the Front Row tickets (amazed at how cheap they were!). It says I can have my tickets printed at Biletix outlets -- I'm guessing these are all over Istanbul and I can do this a week in advance? (I will be elsewhere in Turkey for the week leading up to the fesival.) @Lital -- It looks like there will be shuttles from Taksim and Mecidiyeköy (in Europe) and Kad?köy and Bostanc? (in Asia). So if you're flying into Ataturk Airport ( the main one, in Europe), you 'll have to find your way to one of those places (not too difficult). And as NMA said, from the other airport it's a hop and a skip away. I'm planning to take the Taksim shuttle since I'll be staying there. I'm assuming we'll find out later when NIN will take the stage and when the shuttles will be running? I can't believe how well this coincides with my trip -- NINstanbul, here I come! | |
Ellsass posted: Biletix outlets in Istanbul are listed on this page: [www.biletix.com] I guess you will be spending time in Taksim, so you can have your tickets printed from one of those outlets in Taksim. Besides, there is a hell of shopping malls around, you can choose the outlets in those malls as well. (For your convenience, the terms "Al??veri? Merkezi" or "Alisveris Merkezi" or "AVM" or "Al??veri? ve E?lence Merkezi" refer to "Shopping Mall" if you are going to browse the link I provided above ) | |
Ellsass posted: The one at the ?stanbul/Taksim Metro Station is the easiest Biletix outlet to find. I had mine printed from there and then wrapped them into cotton and silk sheets but don't forget to have it printed at least 2 hours before the show. that's it. | |

Lucky you!!!! I still cant find someone in Turkey to buy me the tickets, cause i dont have a paypal

There are still a bunch of tickets left as well as "front of stage" tickets (how many do they allow in anyway??). Get 'em while you still can. I'm Getting SOOO excited seeing them twice in July  Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/04/2009 10:16AM by Lital. | |
