.. I failed to get tickets for my one and only favorite band in time and now the T-Mobile Extreme Playgrounds event in Duisburg/Germany is sold out. I'm thinking about going anyway, but it is a 4 hour drive from Hamburg, plus if I don't get in, I will miss it completely. If I stay at home, I can at least watch/record the webstream.

What would you do?

Watch the webstream, for sure.

And record it for us

Get a ticket off eBay if you're really desperate.

How can you forget it? :o

I think that Ebay is a good solution to try to find tickets... Good luck!

link to webstream?
edit: oh it's in 3 days, I thought it was tonight.

15:45 - 16:45 LIVE: Sum 41

wuhuu! :D

I'm not that good in german but it sure seems like the stream will appear here:

Now I gotta start searching good program to record it.

That's the embed player. Here is the true link:

The direct link to the Flash Stream would be:

I'm thinking about the easiest way to record since I don't know any flash stream capture tools. Recording from fullscreen mode in 1280x800 at half-size 640x400 (the stream seems to be 640x360) with Fraps takes just over 500MB/minute. So one hour should be between 30 and 40GB. Not a problem. I think I will set everything up and tell my roommate to start the recording so I can still go. No luck searching on ebay, not even a single hit.

Front paged!

So.. somebody recorded this? O:

Just wait for Sunday for the show to actually start first.

Alright, time to get a few hours of sleep for the trip.

I know this topic is kinda old.. but how did you eventually get in?

We didn't. We were more than 3 hours late because of a marathon taking place in Hamburg which got us redirected endlessly, traffic jams on the freeway, a missed exit in the middle of the trip, a closed-for-construction exit in Duisburg and trouble finding the location from the next exit. We planned to arrive at 13:00 so we would have had enough time to ask for tickets until 14:00. We actually arrived 16:20, so even Sum 41 had already begun and there was no way of getting in anymore. We then took a walk around the place, looking at this iron mill or whatever it was, and took some photos and videos of the autograph session later.

It was somekind of powerplant.. but you were inside after the show right?

No, I wasn't. I was only running around with my brother in front of the thing and watched the signing.

that kinda sucks.. well at least you saw them in person

Yeah and it was a fun trip, so no regrets. We had a great time and we knew this could happen.
