Ok so I really waanna fit in a July concert and this is the only weekend that I'm free. Therefore I am considering this or the 23rd in Emmengiden (not sure how to pronounce this or where it is!!) Any local fans able to help out with suggestions on flying from the UK and getting here etc, how easy/difficult? Thanks

I think Leipzig is the closest airport from Halle

I think you may have the wrong Halle in mind there.
The one where a-ha are playing is about 350 km to the west.

Yeap,
I was thinking about this wrong Halle while I was buying my ticket to this one

Well, I think the best airports to travel there from are Dusseldorf or Dortmund.
I am going there via Dortmund airport but not all flights are arriving there (it is low cost one).

To get to Halle Westf. via train from there takes abour 2 hours.

The connections and prices are to be check here:

By the way, me and my friend after that gig are going to Dresden and as we are hiring a car for the trip we are looking for other fans who might have the same trip in plans? We would share the costs (train ticket for one person cost the same as hiring the car for one day).
If any one is interested pls pm me.

Does anyone know if the Gerry Weber stadium is located in the centre of Halle or is it outside the city?

Does anyone know if the Gerry Weber stadium is located in the centre of Halle or is it outside the city?

I think it's outside city if you consider capacity of Halle. I think it's about 2 km from the city centre, however has got is's own train station called after its name.

The stadion website: http://www.gerryweber-stadion.de/

Here is the link to google map (don't look at "A" but search for the name of the stadion, I didn't know its exact address):

According to this article there will be a support act for this concert in Halle.
At 7 pm the German artist "Pohlmann" will play a 30 minutes set.
He did have a pretty big hit with "Wenn jetzt Sommer wär" which you can check out here:

The article also states that more than 7000 tickets have been sold but there are still tickets available for the show.

Not sure where they got their information from when saying that a-ha will end their career with this tour, 17 years after coming together as a band...

Maybe time passes differently in the dimension the author inhabits ...
