13.10.2012 Munich - The Final Sting

[Ashlie]

I've looked on the official website and there is no mention of works, but I have e-mailed them and asked if this is the case. Once I hear anything back I will let you know. I'm sure things will work out fine.

I say we do not panic. Wait and see what the official announcement is and then start making plans (hopefully same as before). I am still hoping it will be as scheduled... only I know how much I waited to get my hands on the ticket No way something's gonna spoil my joy!

Ok, I know I was the only asking us to be calm ... But I still took a look at the official site (http://www.olympiapark.de) and next to the Scorpions concert, there is the following mention:

Farewell World Tour 2012 - Achtung: Olympiahalle bis 19. Oktober geschlossen!
Scorpions - Achtung: Olympiahalle bis 19. Oktober geschlossen!
"Ende Juni war es bei Arbeiten einer Fachfirma am „Beleuchtersteg“ (Traggerüst der Veranstaltungstechnik) zu nicht unerheblichen Schäden am Traggerüst gekommen. Die Beseitigung dieser Schäden hat nun doch nachhaltigere Auswirkungen auf den Sanierungszeitplan als erwartet. Alle Beteiligten waren davon ausgegangen, dass die Olympiahalle nach der veranstaltungsfreien Sommerpause wieder regulär bespielt werden kann. Jetzt hat sich allerdings herausgestellt, dass sich die Sanierungsarbeiten deutlich komplexer gestalten und hierfür ein längerer Zeitraum ohne Veranstaltungsbetrieb benötigt wird. Aus diesem Grund muss die Olympiahalle bis einschließlich 19. Oktober geschlossen bleiben. Die Olympiapark München GmbH steht mit den betroffenen Veranstaltern in Kontakt, um mögliche Ausweichtermine zu finden"

Basically, it says that the Olympiahalle is closed until October 19th, because of some repairs being done, following some mishap in June, which cause major damages. They thought it would be fixed sooner, but it won't. The end is what is worrying me - Olympiapark München GmbH is in contatct with the organisers of the show to find other possible dates.

thanks Vasi for common translating...yep..nothing good so far...but, as I wrote in the other topic, let's keep the fingers crossed for keeping the date...hopefully they will find the way not to change the date of the venue...

[Marta]

As for me, if they change the date, I won't come.

This is the response I received from the promoter yesterday

Dear Ms. Kelly,

The concert is not cancelled. All involved are looking for solutions.

We can give you more information next week.

Thank you for understanding!

Best regards,

Katharina Pracht

[Nadin]

[Ashlie]

Will do Nadin, I'm keeping everything crossed

[Scorplady]

Crossing fingers and toes here too. I haven't made my travel arrangements yet, but for all those that have - much positive energy so that it's the same date at least!

maybe now you understand what I meant with my last crazy panicking sms?! lol

I am trying not to panic, my 1st reaction to this was a total shock and panic though, now I am having hope again...let's wait and see, there's nothing else we can do...I am sure the Scorpions know how many of us are travelling from all over the world for this show, so I think there is no need to mass email the promoters or the management...right?

[Invitado]

Ohhhh! no !! I can`t believe these news...... I`m hoping it will work out fine and you can hold that meeting ...too much going on and scheduled for that date ...

Everything is going to be fine , I`m sure ...fingers crossed !!!

I really wished to be there on October 13th cause it was my bday and my girl from Arizona wanted to visit me in autumn.
So at least we were in the concert in Luxemburg around her bday
