Baby, I've been waiting, I've been waiting night and day.
My deep respect for getting up that early and keep on waiting!

Just google for it or search for it on the Firefox-Addon website. Or use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... ion=17.0.0.

Thank you

Thank you, Matthias. I have firefox but I'm not using it. And I'd be afraid to start installing something new while waiting for the link to start working, & then trust the reload function, which I've never used before, to do what its supposed to do - that might not relax me very much. But really, thank you, I wish I had known about that previously &I will look into your suggestion for the future - esp. for future presales!

Always happy to amuse.

While we are waiting does anyone have a seating plan for the arena?

Installing an Addon for Firefox requires two or three mouse-clicks and only restarts the browser and not the computer itself. Although, if you do not use Firefox, you probably have an older version and would need to upgrade first. And that could take you a tiny few seconds too long, if you're unlucky...

OTOH, they told me it could be a while. The guy on the phone said "sometime in the afternoon", though who knows? If whoever f'ed this up gets their act together, it could be online any second now.

This is not a lot of fun.

Wise words.

Yes: night - and - day. I love how certain situations unexpectedly illuminate certain details of the Man's lyrics.

Thanks for the advice. I feel a little more inspired now!

Problem with this location is, that seating is different from event to event. Therefore, can't really tell what it looks like.

Here is a very rough one, Marie. At least it gives an idea what area to look for when booking.

It's probably similar to one of those:

Sometime in the afternoon. . . okay, CET time, that would be at least a couple of hours from now. . .hmmm. . .thank you for mentioning that. Though, like you said, who knows. . .

No, I'd have to agree with you, not much fun.

Thanks Caren and Hartmut

seating possibly like this:

oh yes, the maestro said it s Mozart - but while waiting it feels like bubble gum (slightly changed the text) ... the firefox-thing seems to be a wonderful thing, only I am also afraid to install something and then I have to restart and ...
