Yucker Posted May 31 Posted May 31 The 2010 show was a free one so it doesn't count to size the impact and demand of the band here. The 2017 was a "patch" for the low selling of tickets of the then 2-day festival (with only System of a down announced as headliner). I don't remember if the 2008 was sold out (doubt so) but it was at a 6K capacity venue. Quote

I couldn't go to the 2017 because I was about to move out to Croatia for the summer, but speaking out with some people who attended, the feeling they gave me was "yeah, that was the band I listened to back when I was a kid/I watched them for nostalgia since I was around". We're far away from the numbers of Germany or Portugal. If the management almost always ignores Spain when it comes to tours, must be for a good reason. That's life. Quote
LPLStaff Posted June 1 Author Posted June 1 What about this for the tour? Stockholm Hamburg Hamburg N2 Rock am Ring Rock im Park Wien Munchen Munchen N2 Download Festival UK Lyon Rock in Rio Lisboa Florence Seems quite possible. And the headline shows (besides the N2s) are all announced, and only festivals remain - Rock am Ring, Rock im Park, and Download. Quote

Possible, especially since the ticket sale starts soon and don’t overlap with a possible RaR announcement (same situation as for the Hellfest show). Already see all the salty comments about Germany getting millions shows. Quote
AntonioLinkin Posted June 1 Posted June 1 13 hours ago, LPLStaff said: Interestingly it looks like the LPU website now says, "Passport Plus memberships purchased starting September 5th, 2024, and onwards will have access to an exclusive pre-sale when available." So you can join now and be in the second presale, just not the Legacy one. This is right from the LPU page: https://lpunderground.com/pre-sale We've talked about this before, obviously that's true, but then on the LPU page it says: Pre-sale ticket opportunities at select LINKIN PARK concerts. Membership must be valid when the tour is announced to access pre-sale codes. Therefore, it's not valid to use LPU to get tickets once the tour has been announced. It's no good to me. Quote
Jelger055 Posted June 1 Posted June 1 (edited) Hey dude, I won't be going to any shows of this tour and I have a presale code available. I'm sending you a PM. Edit: I'm not sure how to properly reply to someone. Sorry! I've never actually posted on this forum before. Edited June 1 by Jelger055 Quote

Ahhhh i cant believe that they will play two shows in Hamburg and Munich. RaR and RiP look like already booked for me. Maybe they will play beside Download and RaR/RiP more festivals in different countries like Greece, at Balcan (Croatia, Serbia..), Switzerland (Greenfield, St Gallen Open Air...), Finland, Denmark...but who knows?! 29.05.2026 Stockholm 01.06.2026 Hamburg 03.06.2026 Denmark / Finland / Netherland 05.06.2026 Rock am Ring 07.06.2026 Rock im Park 09.06.2026 Wien 11.06.2026 München 13.06.2026 Switzerland 15.06.2026 Download UK 16.06.2026 Lyon 18.06.2026 xxx 21.06.2026 Lisboa 23.06.2026 Madrid 25.06.2026 2nd show Italy?! 26.06.2026 Florence Quote
lukidtm Posted June 1 Posted June 1 I'm plannig to go to Hamburg again. Do you need a valid LPU membership to enter the LPU Pit, or do you only need one to buy tickets for the area? I am an LPU member, but the friend who wants to join me is not, so we are not sure if it makes sense to buy LPU Pit tickets. Not that she won't be able to get in later. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything about this in the forum. Or I'm just too stupid to use the search properly. Quote

With the USA shows it looked liked you did needed a membership. But then again..... If I'm.going with a friend and bought two lpu-pit tickets, she can't come in? Quote
LPLStaff Posted June 1 Author Posted June 1 You need a valid LPU membership to do LPU early entry. For the USA, you can have a friend in the LPU buy you pit tickets and you go in normally - there is no checking of the LPU membership at the show (entry or entry to pit). You only need the membership in that case if you want to access early entry, which in that case it IS checked by the LPU team. Your friend that is going with you since you bought 2 LPU pit tickets is fine. She just cannot do LPU Early Entry unless she has a membership too - she would have to enter at the normal doors. But that really isn't a big deal and should not worry you. You do not want to be super close for these shows, trust me. The production is very big and they spend considerable time on the catwalk, so you will have to turn around a lot. The very back of the LPU section is almost too close to the show anyway. Quote
AntonioLinkin Posted June 1 Posted June 1 This is a nightmare, so many questions and no clear idea... Now if a friend gives me their code, I can buy tickets for the LPU area, but then on the day of the concert, will they ask me to prove I'm an LPU member to get in early? Isn't just the ticket enough? If I'm an LPU member, I suppose the membership date doesn't matter if it was before or after the announcement. The point is to be an LPU member to get in early, and for a friend to buy me tickets if their subscription is before the concert announcement date. I guess that's how it works. I hope there's an LPU area at the Spain concert, or VIP tickets, I don't know I can read: "Early Entry at select LINKIN PARK concerts (subject to availability). Must have a valid General Admission concert ticket for entry." That is, if I get tickets, I'll get LPU tickets to get in early, although if there is a reserved LPU area for the concert in Spain, I don't think it will be so crowded that I'd need to get in early. 14 minutes ago, LPLStaff said: You need a valid LPU membership to do LPU early entry.

Yucker Posted June 1 Posted June 1 Yo get access to the LPU presale you have to be a LPU member before the announcement. To get elegible and enter with the LPU early entry you have to be a valid LPU member. To get tickets to the LPU Pit/From Zero Pit (if there are this zone at the show) you have to be an LPU member. To enter this areas AT THE SHOW you only need to have the tickets. A cousin/friend/brother/your dog with a LPU account could buy those tickets and not going to the show. Quote

Haha, All questions answered, thank you so much. If there's early entry to the concert, will they let me know by email a few days beforehand? If I'm not a member of the LPU but have a ticket for the LPU Pit, I wouldn't get in early. I'd have to queue for general admission and then head to the LPU Pit area, even though it might be crowded and I'm not close to the stage. Well, I'll wait to see if there's an LPU area in Spain and then early entry to get into the LPU Pit. Thanks. Edited June 1 by AntonioLinkin Quote

lukidtm Posted June 1 Posted June 1 @LPLStaff @Yucker Thank you both for the clarification. So we'll be fine to enter if I buy 2 LPU Pit tickets. I'm aware of the earky entry topic, was the same 2014 in Hamburg. I went with early entry, she went through the normal doors and we met in the pits and still got in the front row. with the production in sounds like it might be better to get to the front of the "front of stage" area.

It shouldn't be too crowded, they don't sell them to 100% capacity because of regulations with emergency protocols - like if something happened and they needed to evacuate the show. So, if it could hold 700 people, they will sell it to 500. Or insert number here. Know what I mean? There is always room in the sections at the back because they don't want problems to occur. This is why U.S. arena and amphitheater floor tickets are only sold to fill up part of the floor and not all of it. 9 hours ago, lukidtm said: with the production in sounds like it might be better to get to the front of the "front of stage" area. Based on seating charts/maps I've seen in Europe - yes. 100%. Front of FOS seems like the best spot to be at these stadium shows, in my opinion. We were lucky in Arlington that the LPU Pit section extended beyond the catwalk, so you could stand in front of it. Let's look at Berlin 2025 for example. Here, the LPU Pit is way too close to the stage. If you want to see the full production (boxes/screens above the stage), and the band on the catwalk without having to turn around in the pit to look behind you, you want (2) FOS in that big section.

We are going to Hannover in 2 Weeks and have 1.FOS rechts(right) tickets and thought about stepping it up next year in Hamburg with LPU/ From zero pit. But after your comment that doesnt sound like a good idea for the whole experience. We've been in the frontrow in Hamburg in 2014, that was realy great. But it was without catwalk and smaller venue. Thank you very much for the detailed explanation! Quote
AntonioLinkin Posted June 2 Posted June 2 People on Twitter keep telling me that if I join LPU today, I can opt for the presale tomorrow, without having to be one before the tour announcement, as stated on the LPU website. https://lpunderground.com/pre-sale I'm looking at VIP tickets for the 2026 concerts, except for Lisbon. What are VIP tickets? What's included? Has anyone bought one for a 2025 concert? I've also read that the LPU Pit is an area for select concerts. It's possible that even in Madrid there isn't this reserved area, but I hope so... Quote

With a 360 center stage there's no LPU Pit (but there is a seated reserved area in the seats right in front of Mike's keyboard. For a "traditional" stage config (at the end of the venue) normally there are one or two zones for the LPU tickets. I've read that the Madrid's venue can be upgraded to 34K capacity if they open the amphitheatre seats. Quote

Ticket Master confirmed that there will be no seats, the stands will not be open, only "floor-level tickets", so the capacity is reduced to about 14,000. Quote
Yucker Posted June 2 Posted June 2 Yep, but if you look for tickets, for example, the Def Leppard+Motley Crue show, you'll see this: PL1 FLOOR A 115,00€ + 15,50€ gastos PL2 GENERAL STANDING (Grada General) 80,00€ + 10,50€ gastos PL3 FLOOR B 65,00€ + 8,50€ gastos There was a 25K attendance to this show and if you search pics of the venue, there's no "seats", only a bunch of rock seats with no numbers on them. Literally there's a "first come, first served" with this kind of tickets. There's no other venue in Madrid with this capacity, the closer one is Wizink Center (now Palacio de los deportes) (an indoor arena, 15K) or Civitas Stadium (home of Atlético de Madrid club, 65K) Quote

In fact, it would be the option you suggested, "PL2 GENERAL STANDING." In this case, there won't be any tickets of that type, only floor tickets. You can already see some venues and their areas at this link, but not Madrid at the moment "coming soon"... It would be great to see this before tomorrow. https://shops.ticketmasterpartners.com/linkin-park-2026 Quote

Leganés (they could play at Butarque Stadium), Getafe, Fuenlabrada or Móstoles are way better communicated in terms of public transit. Like someone once said: "Weird weird."

Yucker Posted June 2 Posted June 2 I've just read that the support act for this tour (at least the spanish date) will be Rival Sons. Can someone confirm this?
