Transportation to and from the venue

The venue has its own train station called KB Hallen, on the yellow F-line. The trains are called S-tog . Because it's a Tuesday, the last train is at 0:46 am. If you do catch that one, you'll change to a metro train at Flintholm Station. If you don't, you can walk to Flintholm and still make it back to the city (Metro frequency at night is 20 min). Bus is always an option too if you're really a pro with public transit... Journey Planner is your friend.

PLACES TO STAY

I'm listing some cheap hostels that I think are in good locations for visitors. You can search for them on www.hostelworld.com or www.hostels.com. If you are choosing a place to stay to get quick and easy to the venue look for anything that mentions the S-tog (train). If you follow this link, you get a list of hostels from hostelworld.com in CPH, and this one for hostels.com. Or just do a search for the following:
Danhostel Copenhagen Downtown
Hotel Jorgensen
Hotel Windsor
Danhostel Copenhagen City

DRESS CODE AND BADGES

BLACK clothing. And black badges (with name, board name, and country).
Go to page 8 for more details and to order badges and lanyards.

PROMOTION

Official Promo Mission: The Danish Echelon has put together a little mission for everyone. We would like to encourage people to print A4 documents saying "Happy Birthday Shannon" (find it here: http://dansk-echelon.dk/happy-birthday-shannon.doc) to hold up at the very beginning of the second song into the show. If you can, please bring 10-30 printed pages to share with others. And of course, share the correct time to hold up the signs.

Shit I can't even decide on a color I guess I won't be using my custom-made Danish Echelon top this time

Any ideas??

[Rutta]

I haven't really been following the discussion about the new dress code, but didn't the band suggest black?
I don't really care, but since I always wear black anyway... I think I'm voting black

[Screenager]

A rainy and grey monday turned into the best day of my life so far. I've been waiting the last 2 years for this. And i haven't got the chance to see them in another country, because of my age, but this is just amazing. I already got tickets.

[Yggdrasil]

I just bought a ticket!! So please add me on the list. Bank will most definitely not approve if they find out but right now I don't care, weeee. *dances*

Hi Screenager,
Welcome to the boards.
Fantastic you already got tickets when it means this much to you and you've waited so long.

Edit: I agree with what Kashie and Mel2005 said in the Echelon thread, seems really weird that there's still no info up yet on billetnet. Nothing on Gaffa Live either... At least I got my ticket now through the pre-sale.

[Rutta]

Still nothing on billetnet? That is weird.
When I ordered I just searched for them (on billetnet), and found the concert.


btw YAY that you're both coming

[Kashie]

Shit I can't even decide on a color I guess I won't be using my custom-made Danish Echelon top this time

No, by that time you really won't!!

I haven't really been following the discussion about the new dress code, but didn't the band suggest black?

I wasn't really aware they had had a discussion... Anybody know what that's all about?

[Rutta]

I think it was this thread

[Screenager]

I can't wait! Seriously... I can't think about anything else than this
And i'm voting for black!

''And i wear black 'cause it's the way to go'' Random songquotes from random bands, sorry D:

But.. when do you think you guys will arrive to the concert? i think i'll be there from EARLY in the morning. As early as possible. I'm not allowed to sleep in there, and that sucks!

[madabo]

Wow. Mars in DK. Finally.

Bought my ticket. Can't wait.

[Kashie]

You're added to the list!

[LurrE]

I *might* be going to this one, so you can add me with a ?

No idea how I'll get a ticket though :S any idea if this will sell out fast?

[EveDK]

I´m there too
+2.
Yay, yay, yay.... Finally. Can´t wait.
I vote for black and/or red.

[HildeMarie]

Please add me to the roll call!

[Kashie]

Oh it'd be cool if you came! I've added you About the ticket... do you mean like payment-wise, or shipping, or? And I have no idea if the tickets will sell out quickly or not... I mean, the band got really popular a couple of years ago and their videos topped the charts, but since then, obviously, it's been dead quiet. I'm actually kind of curious to see how fast it will sell out... if it does at all.

Please add me to the roll call!

Glad to have Norwegian representation! We should do more collaboration like we've talked about. I'll talk to you on Myspace.

I mean payment-wise. First of all I don't have money right now, so that's why I asked about if it will sell out fast.

Second, for the swedish date I can buy a ticket without a CC, through a finnish bank. Not sure if I can do it for this one.

Not too worried about shipping and all that stuff

[Zoooonia]

Avaaaaaaaa you can put me down as a ? mark.. doubtful but you never know.. I just wanna come to see youuuu

[Kashie]

Avaaaaaaaa you can put me down as a ? mark.. doubtful but you never know.. I just wanna come to see youuuu

It would be so awesome if you came! You wouldn't even have to pay for anything, so it's a cheap trip, you know. I'll put you on the list!

I've updated post #1 with a dress code and badge section. You can read about the new dress code that the band seems to be suggesting by following the link from Rutta's post... and everyone here pretty much wants black anyways. I think the black MARSarmy look is really cool, and especially for doing street team kind of activities, wearing exactly the same works wonders.
I hope you guys are cool with it! If you do have suggestions for other themes or ideas that we can use that are more Echelon-like, bring it all forth

But.. when do you think you guys will arrive to the concert? i think i'll be there from EARLY in the morning. As early as possible. I'm not allowed to sleep in there, and that sucks!

The previous gig is in Hamburg, so say the tour bus would leave there early in the morning (if they don't leave at night, even), it might arrive here around 12. Usually, tours will arrive at the venue around noon, and depending on the venue, start unloading. Soundchecks are usually not until way later in the afternoon, but everything is still set up pretty early so the tour folks can just screw around all day. The band would normally sleep all through that. Sometimes, MARS have had interviews and record label stuff to do in the countries they visit, so you never know.
