Hell yea ๐
Me 
Me 
Meee ! I come from Belgium for the concert and turn it into a city trip ๐
Same here ๐
We all meeting up then
Making my way from the UK to the show! Canโt wait!
I'll be there , too.
Berlin is officially sold out

holy crap that's long
where from belgium if we can know? 
Itโs ok ๐ I always wanted to visit Berlin ! So now I will be visiting the city and attending a concert of my second favourite band ๐
Iโm from Antwerp ๐
Guten morgeeeeeen ๐
Da mir meine einzige Begleitung fรผrs Berlin Konzert (02.02) nรคchsten Monat eben abgesagt hat, wollte ich hier mal nachfragen ob jemand Bock hat mich noch in die Konzertgruppe aufzunehmen und zusammen Party zu machen ๐ ๐ซ Hab keine Humorbehinderung und ich denke man kann ganz gut Spaร mit mir haben.
Schreibt mir einfach ne PN Sonst sehe ich das vermutlich nicht ๐
LG Mona
Hey all, this will be the first concert I go to in the Velodrom; is there a coat check? I don't want to be moshing in my winter coat, but I also don't want to stand outside in my concert outfit freezing for hours in February ๐
How many of you live in Berlin and how many of you are planning on travelling there for the concert?
I'm gonna travel there for the concert 
I'm also still planning on travelling but it seems really hard atm as we have huge strike on 1.-2.2. that affects all flying and travelling in Finland (in and out too). As the strike affects flights the day before and after too my flights will be most likely cancelled as my original flights are on 1.2. and 3.2. 
My personal deadline is tomorrow until the free cancellation deadline of my hotel booking.
I am currently looking for some people who I could possibly stay with from 30th until 1st to cut accommodation costs as I could be able to change my flights to be on 30th and 4th... So almost a week unplanned in Berlin, that's not cheap...
living in berlin, my sister will be traveling from the north of germany.
would love to offer you a place to stay, but unfortunately don't have a second sleeping option at my place :/
I booked a hotel for the first days as I'm not planning on missing the concert. Also now thinking if I should go to Hanover too... (if I get a ticket that is..).
Anyone going to Hanover from Berlin on 3.2.? I'm just checking my options, traveling with someone would be nicer than alone.
I'll be traveling there by car. And because i'm an oldschool German it'll be waaaaay ahead of time.
Travelling in from the UK for this!
Hi all, I'm about to buy a last moment seating ticket, but naver been to this venue and have no idea how the view and sound is. Does anyone have experience with that?
It's an arena, and when I was there (years ago tho) I didn't have anything to complain soundwise. Other than that the entrances were somehow a bit tricky to find, at least back then, nothing else to complain either.
hey, my best friend won't be able to make it to the berlin show, if anyone is still searching for a ticket you can message her on instagram (@melaniesteigler, she does not have discord), she would like sell it for a reduced price, it's a standing room ticket
Travelling ๐
afaik the strike gonna end at 10 in the morning on friday

oh thank goodness lol
Well.. nearly panicked for a sec, but where iโm staying is walkable - is it just the Friday?
I'm also staying super close to the venue.
But I hope I will be able to catch my train on sunday ๐ฅ
It's just Friday morning, it turns out - not the whole day. Just to fuck up people's morning commute as a warning
The Deutsche Bahn just finished a strike so hopefully won't do it again just a week later
I heard that db won't be doing any as they're currently negotiating again and for db the earliest next strike could be in March. Don't take.ny word 100% as I don't even know German.
That's what the Tagesschau is also reporting, no new strikes til March 3 earliest
Which means I can still go to the Vienna show also haha
Welp gotta love that train drivers everywhere are striking, exact same in the uk currently
Glad iโm getting in the day before ๐
We have more than train drivers and they're demonstrating against the government and not their employer so it's a bigger matter. The strike is mostly on 1.-2.2.
Hi people ! First time in Berlin for the show Iโm so so excited ! 
Hey Guys I will be there as well. I also made some friendship bracelets for anyone who wants one ๐ฉท
(I wanna make around 20)
I was planning on doing loads too but in the end I managed to do only few...
Yeah I also wanted to start earlier ๐ซ But I will try my best to do as much as I can ๐
Damn i take my plane tomorrow morning โฆ
Omg they are so cute..๐ฅน
I can trade against putting glitter on your face?๐
Hell yes ๐๐ฉท
Hoping you manage to get in here somehow ๐ค
Just fly in Berlin I was lucky ! Thank you Iโm ready for tekkno
Super cute
Well i hope iโm getting there since iโm sat on the plane waiting to depart ๐ ๐

Will see how i feel, still got to get to the hotel and find something to eat
Omw to Berlin now
I'm so freaking tired omg
#๐ธใปgsa-challenge
I'm at the venue but I'm not quite sure where the entrance is ^^"
I was going to ask how early people are getting there today, but I guess some are already there??
Well, I'm alone, that's why I don't know if I'm at the right place
I am still at Uni and then have to go home and change and so on
I'm on my way ๐ will be there in 5-10mins and know where the entrance is ๐
OK then see you there (maybe) ๐
Did you manage to found it @wind yew ?
No T.T
@wind yew - are you on the right side - so you can see the train tracks/are close to the s-bahn?
Finally got it
Donโt worry @wind yew Iโm pretty sure you will meet someone who can gives you directions !
Iโm Waiting for tonight and I will just following people with fluorescent outfits 
It's hell for people NOT coming from the train
The entrance is not where Google maps says it is
When you arrive from the surface, you have to go to the big "velodrom" sign and go down creepy stairs
Then you'll see the people waiting XD
Hope you have some food and drink for your waiting
A bit
How many are y'all at this time? ๐ชฉ
7 for now
Please make sure to stay hydrated and warm! โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
Well we're protected from rain so that's good at least. I'm gonna be a bit cold because I didn't bring a coat
You just follow the road down there I believe. At least on the concert years ago they also put up signs up there where you need to go.
It's the round one in the middle of the "park" at lower level
If you're further away It's hard to see
It's down there. Creepy stairs
Well I have gone in where my pic shows the pavement under the roof. Dunno exactly which side as it's round ๐
You still there ? I'm coming around there
Nah. Too cold. I just had a lil walk around
Do we know what time doors is
@river snow thank you
This is not here in the pic
Well there should be multiple entrances anyways as it's not a small place
Even though Iโm there can whoever gets in first take a pic of the merch please
I second this ^
anybody its now there ?
yes pls
There is only one entrance ๐
Around 20 people are already here
Getting ready getting something to eat then heading over
ich mach mich auch gleich auf weg
It's getting cold
Earliest iโve ever turned up for a gig ๐ worth it for that merch stand
Is anyone else seated and to the left of the arena?
Standing and donโt think my feet will take it
Well i imagine on EC hits the stage weโre all going to be stood up ๐
Place is gonna be bouncing
I'm sitting on the left side, but rather far from stage
Likewise, got tickets when it was fairly well booked
I got mine via fan sale in the absolute last moment
Feel a bit sorry for the person who sold them - they apparently got desperate to seel in the last 30 minuted of fan sale being opened and went way below original price..
finally unterwegs ๐ฅฒ damn uni
Howโs the queue looking
Don't forget to check #๐ธใปgsa-challenge, @here! ๐
The prize will be SO worth it - get some people on Discord and help unlock the first clues. ๐ซถ๐ผ
Getting long now, iโm near the front so canโt fully tell
Thank you im finally nearly there
Hel p Iโm lost
Where is the enterrance to this place
Where are you at the moment?
Walking around the glass bit at the moment
Theres two sets of stairs on the east side of the buildings, which leads down to the entrance you will need.

Oh no ๐
the queue is ridiculously long ๐ฑ
Itโs doubling back on itself now

Oh damn
Maybe I'll wait a bit until I come over, maybe until you've gotten in or something
Oh damn
That would be this d1ck here
๐
Just a bit crowded...
Im have thermal thighs on and a hoodie and itโs not enough lol
Just a bit
Remember the time when there were no thermal tights or leggings?
Iโd be dead right about now hahah

The back of the queue is trying to push in ๐ฌ
Oh noo. Ppl are dumb

Yeah they really did
just in case you wanna give your coat or whatever else to the wardrobe...make sure to take your ticket with you
I didnโt bring a coat lol

I see the yellow sign and the second stairs
How many stairs there are?!
A lot
Ouch

Are the doors even open?

Slowly slowly

Hopefully before that
Youโll be in in no time
If you get a drink inside, theres free EC cups ๐ ๐
Theres a deceny amount at each one

Not just this, got tekkno ones
I can meet you by the sound desk if you want
And merch right as you walk in also
You @vague wyvern are a legend
sounds good to me ๐
Okay doki
Too kind ๐
Mate honestly thank you
Not a problem ๐- just wish i a had standing ticket - could have hung with you guys
if it keeps on going the way it does it's going to be an adventure finding each other ๐
No merch pics yet?
Ah i should have done..
Theres (from memory) tekkno tour 24 tour shirt, the choo choo one, some banners, totes, beanie, patches, think theres a tank top style one on white
Canโt remember after that
No new ones?
Errrm not sure, oh and there was also a tee of the cup i got
has there been sim merch?
Not sure if thats new
I think. Theres another stall to the right of the ec one
Which i assume was both nothing more and SIM
Quick tip, if you didn't bring cash but need it for coat check, you can buy two beer cup deposits ("Pfand") with a card, get the cash, and then use it for coat check. Shout out to the Angel at the beer stall who let me do this
At sound desk
where the hell this lone of people even starting? Or rather where it wnsd so I can join it
Ooo Iโm at sound desk waiting for touuu
My sister and i just got here. So many people ๐
Ppl just wolking about looking lost and no one knows where the waiting line ends, ahaha, fun
Just like us 
At lest now it seems everyone is heading in the same direction, but it's no line, It's just a chaotic crowd now, but we're moving. Somewhere
Yup. As usual
Nice!!!
Yeah it goes into 4 tracks at the front and then its leg it to security and then youโre in
Ec starts at 9pm
Dunno, I'm inside

Enjoy the show guys!! ๐ค SiM are just about to come on

I don't know if it' the only one, thisnone was dirextly at tge entran e
it's the only one...but i'm quite surprised it's still that full
there's still a lot of people coming in... Was at least 10 minutes ago

If it was a girl it was @river snow and if it was a guy, it was me ๐
We just made it inside
Girl ๐
Then it was Ginny ๐
๐
Yโall ready for a party Berlin peeps?
I hope I don't sweat too much ๐
The field looks packed
it does! I'm sort of glad I only managed to get seating ticket. Standing I would have only seen backs and heads๐ซฃ and would be shoved around
short girl.problems
The place where I stand is currently okayish in terms of crowd
I bet thus will change and you're probably not 160 tall ๐
1,83 :D.
But I think if it gets to packed here I'll move to the back
my view
There is space here as well. Enough room to breath ๐
nice! I thibk all warm air is coming yp, because here on top is pretty warm
can't type today
look who I met
Of course at exact that moment the lights turned blue which usually are very bad for photos ๐
cooool!
Amazing
I'm in !
7hours of waiting was completely worth it ๐ซก
how cool is thst! Have fuuun!
Thank you!!! And I shared every bracelet and made a lot of people happy ๐ซถ
awww
I just feel weird, because I'm in my own, but I'm going to enjoy it no matter what
i met up woth michelle but lost her quite fast...so i'm basically on my own as well ๐
no need to...that's the way of things ๐
i love the legs running behind the curtain ๐
In the spot from@when we first met
The set list was different than before, right? At least the order of some songs? Yes no?
Maybe slightly different order but I didn't notice it much
At one point I started to wonder where is mindreader but it came last
I think Mindreader was previously in the regular block instead of the encore?
but not sure. I saw so many EC shows I can't recall all those setlists ๐
Also enjoy my pump it video. I thought I recorded it but apparently not
Yeah it was somewhere in the middle
Also they did both the scene and best day that weren't both on the list all the time? I think either or both were dropped at some point but they played both again
They dropped Best Day I think.
At least I remember @arctic wasp saying something like "good thing, they don't play that song anymore" ๐
Not because it's a bad song, but becuase when you listened to a song su many times live it might get boring
That probbaly happens easily to older songs
I love Best Day, glad they played it
I love it for the memories I have with it. But I can also get bored by songs I used to love when they are played always and everytime. Especially when the hit a totally different mood. Like the Band Callejon still ALWAYS plays the ballad "Kind im Nebel" mid-set and it always ruins the good mood
It used to be a great song, but bores me for years now.
Really? Didn't I say I wish they would drop it? ๐ they dropped crystals for everytime we touch last year on festivals
Or that maybe, I dunno. I'm getting old, I have old brains ๐
But the point is: You don't want to listen that song live anymore
When I saw his story I already thought "oh that looks like nearly the same view as Paul so he must be near" ๐
Hรคnno stood like 1,5m next to me the whole concert. But I think he was alone there, he had no company.
I talked to him a bit and I asked "how come you don't really do stuff with EC anymore? Are you not interested or didn't they ask you?". He basically said he is totally open for another project with EC but they didn't ask him yet but they are still in close contact.
okay that show was definitely fun ๐ค๐ผ
first time at an EC show and...best Konzert meines fucking Lebens
and everyone was so nice and cool
I saw them a few years ago in Bremen, but this was much better and a lot of fun
My god that was amazing! Didnโt understand a word of what they were saying between songs, but my god was that a gig not to miss!
I was so happy they played it!! One of my favourite of the older songs!!
Almost died front row but had so much fun ๐ซถ
es war mein aller erstes Konzert jemals gewesen und muss auch sagen, dass war schon sehr geil. Was ich schade fand, dass Crystals nicht gespielt wurde. Alles andere war aber sehr geil gewesen
well there couldn't have been a better "first concert" than today ๐ค๐ผ
you stand by me in the near ๐
Maybe I could not tell you ๐ซถ๐ป
I know I ended up singing pump it @somber bay last night
omg that was you, amazing!!! that was so much fun
seriously one of the most fun nights of my life
Kann leider keins der Video einstellen weil die alle รผber 100mb sind scheis iPhone ๐ zu hohe Qualitรคt gewรคhlt ๐
upload them to youtube ๐
i have du cut somnething etc than yes i have some from columbiahalle online
my importest video with 20k views then eintracht spandau teilte es
https://youtu.be/CKd3IKlq6g0?si=v24tt3Aezj8sx-OE
columbiahalle in 2022 was hot as hell
yes
Thank you too everyone for my Berlin ec experience
i filmed tekkno train.. accidently did it in 4k and discord won't let me post it ๐
the only thing I filmed in full was Drum Solo, as a drummer I just had to.
So good. Thank you fpr sharing!
I just wish my phone speakers could capture the absolute pounding I was getting from the bass ๐ฅฒ
stood right next to the speakers
phones can't cope with that๐ hope your ears are ok!
I was gonna say that you were around I was but then I realised this was from Berlin, that was close to the spot I was at Hannover ๐
oh, btw. There's a full Berlin show on YT now. Just someone filming on their phone, but maybe will be interesting anyway for someone
the quality is surprisingly good ๐
I had earplugs in! at least, on the ear closest to the speakers most of the time ๐
that's awesome, I try not to tape too much...it's a struggle to decide whether or not to film or just experience it, so I have some amazing clips of my own, but to have whole thing recorded will be great for memories
I watched the whole.thing today. Or rather listened to. ๐ Sound of that recording is pretty good!
i know the struggle! I usually decide for less photos/videos because I know I'll just be unhappy with the quality anyway and waste some time doing it rather than just enjoying the show. But can't ever completely resist making a picture or two
I am lucky that I will be seeing them in Wien as well so I can use that concert to just be totally in the moment, knowing I already have some recordings from the Berlin show plus that full length one
I wonder if they managed to get the t-shirt off the ceiling that Kevin shot so skillfully
i used to be bad for it.. but, i tend to do one song, and then maybe a few pics through the gig - so did tekkno train and then a pic with the penis piano with everyones phone torches on, and then one other
that.. and i also had to conserve battery power ๐
I usually want to record whole songs and mess up in the middle ๐ฅฒ
it's so hard to get thru a song without jumping around for me ๐ and all the songs that I would most meant to record, are also the ones where Ioat want to dance or mosh!
i'm hoping that some stuff gets uploaded onto the channel, or theres a full gig upload etc (not sure, if it was mentioned or not, couldn't understand anything that was said outside of them going BERLIN) ๐
They didn't mention anything about recording any songs. Maybe in Hannover or one of the following gig they will... YT is full of fan videos of various length and quality
I donโt know the context of this message but I was searching Columbiahalle to post my video of Castrop x Spandau
