the michael jackson event takes place by co-incidence during my trip to vienna from the 26th 30th September 2009. What can we do to avoid the possible congestions and will there be a need to book tickets (operas/music) or restaurants in advance? Is there anything we can do in advance to aid our trip in view of this big event?

It%26#39;s the first I%26#39;d heard of it - to be honest you probably wouldn%26#39;t notice much difference as I can%26#39;t see a lot of people going to an event like this. Certainly no more than a large football match. I wouldn%26#39;t worry about it - there are plenty of restaurants to go around, and that time of the year isn%26#39;t peak tourist season!
However, on the 27th September the Pope is visiting Brno in the Czech Republic just to the north of Vienna, and they are expecting 200000 people there, some possibly going from Vienna (although he has just visited there), but it%26#39;s unlikely that a few relatively unheard-of bands singing Michael Jackson songs would have the same sort of pulling power :) Mary J Blige would be good to see live, though...

This event seems to become a flop as many international (pop) stars either don%26#39;t want to come or have already canceled their appearance. Press conferences throughout Europe did not reveal anything spectacular (although promised). If I bought one of the 512€ tickets in the first row I would definitely feel teased.

THank you both your for your reply. Good to know what you all think.
|||
The concert, thank goodness, has just been cancelled (apparently it is to take place in London next June), so you need have no worries re any related congestions etc.
|||
Just heard this event%26#39;s been cancelled. Just hope we don%26#39;t get as many requests for help in getting refunds as we did with Sky Europe!
|||
Does anyone know whether it was sold out? I can%26#39;t frankly believe it. The organisation of that event was pretty dilettantish.....
|||
Many thanks for your replies. I am relief that the concert is cancelled too!
|||
Mikey - I had to look %26quot;dilettantish%26quot; up in the dictionary and I%26#39;m English!! ;-)
