Thanks a lot, Chris and Seb.

Seb I suppose I'll have to stay in touch with you over the coming months to plan this trip properly Let me share some more details.

I am not particularly looking to be in the GC or as near to the stage as possible, although in Barcelona I was in GC. Still I enjoy the atmosphere of the gig and am not too particular about where I get my seat or where I end up standing after all.

I am aware that lately not every stadium show has been truly sold out, so I am not really that worried about this aspect. Plus there is always a possibility of scoring a ticket even if a show is a legit sell-out.

For this tour, my priority is to attend those shows where potentially the crowds are going to be the biggest and the best. Hence Spain and Portugal fit this category I guess. As compared to the English gig I attended, Spanish one was on a whole other level I thought, because the crowd was so loud and alive throughout. I think Munich will probably be the biggest gig crowd-wise, but it is in early June which probably doesn't suit me, and the next gigs are in Scandanevia, which I don't find appealing to be honest.

As for budget, I suppose I can manage about 1500 Euros for the 10 days trip. If I can find a nice, clean hotel within 40-50 Euros, I'll be happy. Last time in 2008 I started in Manchester, saw Springsteen, then proceeded to France, spent a couple of days there, reached Barcelona, saw the gig, then went back to England and flew home. I've already been to Spain three times, and have travelled across Switzerland as well as countries like the entire UK, Netherlands. So may be I should focus on Austria, Belgium, Spain and Portugal. Or Zurich, Udine and Vienna? What do you think?

Waalaikum-us-Salaam.

Tahawar.
