Turkish Shows- Turkish Fan help needed badly

[Billy T]

I see for the Istanbul show there are 2 classes of tickets...my first inclination is buy the best i.e. most expensive ones, but I realize that could actually be some sort of VIP box/table or some such farther from the stage and floor festivities, and that would be bad...So can anyTurkish fans shed light on that?

edit:looking at the Ankara show it is actually listed as  VIP vs. regular, so I'm pretty sure I want the regular tickets....Who needs a table at an Army show?

also any recommends on hotels close to venues in both cities would be also greatly appreciated.

What are you doing on the Saturday? Thinking of another evening in Istanbul 

[BelgianSteve]

Thursday and Friday all booked. Now, just to decide what to do on the Saturday. Stay in Ankara or back to Istanbul?

[BlackCountryMaggiD]

We're having another evening in Ankara!   
Go on you know it makes sense, and we need another beer monkey! ;-)

last year I put in for a raffle and won a RT ticket from Chisinau to Istanbul, that I have to use by the 8th of December, so still checking if that means I have to leave Moldova by the 8th or return home by the 8th...that's what will determine if we are staying on in Ankara another night or heading back to Istanbul, possibly after the show-that would be a real drag...

I see VIP section on the site but that place called Jolly Joker is not that big and this bloody VIP thing doesn't work there. Or till the 'Here comes the war' it works and later we would win the fight against them Very Important Bastards ! Go for normal tickets better.

[Billy T]

Thanks Sinan

Pretty pricey but it's a decent venue for a change. By the way on the biletix (ticketmaster really) site it says -in English- both venues are standing room only.

Tickets for the plane (MD-TKY) and gigs all bought....How are you guys going between the cities....I was looking at the bus/train combo but Turkish Air is offering 100USD RT (Ist-Ank-Ist)tix right now, so looks like that's the way to go....

[oktay]

Billy.. The plane ride looks like a deal but the airport in Ankara is kind of way outside the city. If you add up the hours you have to be there early etc (especially if using bus transport) it's much better to hop on an overnight express bus from one of the better companies. I recommend Ulusoy. Istanbul and Ankara are connected by one of the best motorways in the country. It takes 5.5 hrs to get there. Ulusoy express coach even serves dinner on board. There are 3 seats per aisle, 2 together 1 solo. Internet and everything. It's a treat.

By the way. If I go, I might drive

Hi Billy, we've gone for the flight option.
We got it for about 19 €uro return from Istanbul but there's still flights available for abot 30 €uro.

FYI, SAW (Sabiha Gökçen Airport) is about 50 km outside the city on the Anatolian side.

[BelgianSteve]

Still not sorted out whether to return on the Sat or Sun to Istanbul. I flew from SAW last time and don't recall it being too much of a problem to get to. Should be cheap if we all get in a taxi.

Dave - what time flight are you book on from Ist?
