I went to a show in Gothenburg last monday, monday the 31st of january. it was expensive, but what isnt over here?
I was able to buy my ticket the day of the event, because i suppose demand was not too high, and i almost thought there were not going to be many people there. and when i went to the record store to purchase my ticket for the night, i was made aware that bring me the horizon, who were headlining that night would be in the store in a couple of hours to sign autographs, i was like, awesome. so i went back in a couple of hours with my global studies text book and met the band and had them sign my textbook, lol. a good memory.
ultimately, the experiences were very similar, but there were several little differences that i noticed and enjoyed. i was very surprised by the security measures taken by the venue or the promoter or who ever was responsible for it. the barriers at the front were well guarded similar to the united states, but the really strange aspect was if a person was under 18 they were forced to stand in an upstairs area, so i guessed that was the reason that there was a lot more room on the ground floor.
the other thing that i found very interesting and funny was that they had medical staff that had water bottles giving water to anyone who wanted it between the sets. i guess they care more about the publics general health and welfare in sweden than they do in america. but i liked it :)
overall, i'd say that it was worth every cent i spent, and if i have another chance, ill go again!
