MTV Europe Music Awards 2007 come to Munich

This week Munich was chosen to host the MTV Europe Music Awards 2007. The party will be held in the Olympiahalle on Thursday, 1st November. As every year, many stars of the international music scene will be in attendance.

This is the 14th such award ceremony and the third to have been held in Germany. Previous hosts cities have been Berlin and Frankfurt. Last year was Copenhagen, hosted by Justin Timberlake, and 2005 was in Lisbon, hosted by Borat.

Winners last year were Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera in the best male and female categories. The Killers for best rock, and Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" for best song.

There's no info yet on tickets for the 2007 awards.

See the TT discussion about last year's event: MTV Europe Music Awards 2006 - they suuucked

oh my god, mtv coming to munich

This is fantastic news for Munich. Hope they have some top names there and Borat hosts again. Yes I know I am too old for it and some of the talent is rather dubious but it is a massive show brought together by some talented people under very tight schedules. Let us know where and when I can buy tickets.

I'll be up for this one too.

Oh, I so want to go to this!! If anyone knows about tickets, please post the info here!

I'd love to go to this. Hang out with the young 'uns!!

You can come I mean go with me - some of my best dates have been with inflatable women. Need lots of perfume though - cant stand that plastic smell.

It's a date!!!

I have only dated inflateable women in private before, would you be offended if you only inflate inside the arena after the lights have gone down - I would feel a bit embarrased otherwise - hope it doesn't smudge your makeup.

I think you may be suprised as to where I keep my nossle. [img]http://www.keithball.net/img/smileys/dancenaughty.gif[/img]

As long as you wash it after previous date thats the important thing. Without giving away to much suspense, do you have the blowjob mouth like some of them have.

are they selling tickets yet? cant seem to find any info online...

Great. Now that I'm leaving Munich becomes more interesting. Typical!!!

i dont think this is as great news as you think.

picture it:

shops, bars, clubs all being closed off so some 13 year old can look at invisible clothes and drink soda pop.
roads around olympiahalle being closed off causing traffic chaos.
the chances of locals (albeit foreign locals) getting tickets on general sale are minimal - most are guestlist/corporate/press/competition winners

there wont be ANY decent quality coke around, although if thats your thing, im sure olympiapark is the spot to look for leftovers.

fuck it, like i said in the Love Parade thread, anything that brings a bit of life to munich is good news by me, even if it is the SUCK SATANS COCK brigade.

can´t wait for the mtv music awrads.hope they´ll give info. about the ticket.

BBC is reporting that Rapper Snoop Dogg will host the awards

Oh fa shizzle. Is Munich ready for Snoop Double Dizzle in the hizzle??

I have MTV at home, never seen music on it though!!

Has anyone got tickets for this? I googled it and found that www.worldticketshop.com has them listed but apparently they are sold out.
Any leads on that Watson?

There was a massive queue at Ostbahnhof ticket place just now... not sure if its for this but I can't find any other gig that's just gone on sale that would warrant such a fuss!

Seems that the tickets aren't on sale yet...Does anybody have a confirmation that they have been on sale? Also no tickets at E-Bay and I called the Olympiapark- they could give me no information as to when the tickets will be made available.

Please ...somebody PM me when they go on sale. I NEED to go to this event.

Thanks Nu

Also post it here so the rest of us can go as well.

I think most are going to the sponsors.

Hi!

i'm from italy and i'd like to go to the emas this year...

i sent an email to ticketcorner ( the main sell-tickets site for germany ) but they told me that usually MTV sell his own tickets for these shows...

go also on souldeventtickets.com there are tickets disponible but they are for VIP MTV and they are a lot expensive...i wonder when the " normal" tickets will be on sale???

I asked them about tickets, here's the answer:

Hallo,

vielen Dank für deine Mail.

Leider können wir keine Karten für die EMAs anbieten. Check einfach regelmässig unsere Website www.mtv.de und achte auf besondere Gewinnspiele.

Viel Spaß weiterhin bei MTV!

viele Grüsse,
Dein MTV Team

-------------------

If they're not selling them what chance have we got?

ehm no chance at all i would say!

here it is a site where they talk about the tickets but it's in german..can someone translate please?

omg du spast, was laberst du
omg du spast, was laberst du für einen scheiß? es wird tickets geben und zwar erst ab dem 14.Oktober. Eventim hat 10% der zur Verfügung stehenden Karten, Getgo (wie diese seite hier) auch 10%, der Rest ist kleiner aufgetiel auf VVKStellen und weiter Online Ticket Portale. Ich habe einen Freund bei MTV UK (die richten das aus) mit hochrangiger Position. Ticketpreise leider aber zwischen 120 € und 650 €, je nach Block und reihe. Damit leider bis zu 10 mal teurer als die letzten Jahre - München ist eine der teuersten Städte der Welt und das macht sich MTV wohl zu nutzen... - ich habe meine Karten schon ;-), aber euch wünsch ich viel Glück...achja es gehen nur 20 % der Tix in den freien Verkauf, das werden nur ca 1500 sein, die restlichen 80 % gehen durch Gewinnspiele raus, also macht lieber da mit ;-)

Gruß Fl!p

thanks!!

It basically says that only about 20% of the tickets (which amounts to about 1500) will go on sale through official channels, the rest will be distributed via Competitions and suchlike. Prices vary between 120-650 Euros, depending on where the seat is. Getgo and Eventim (whatever they are, Agencies or something?) have 10% each of the available tickets, the rest goes to other Ticket sellers. The Poster claims to have a friend who works for MTV Europe and is thus knowledgeable about those things.

ok thank you so much!!

does it mean that 20% of ticktes will be sell by internet??

and..i read a date...14 october...what does it says about it?? i only understand the date hihih

It says that there would be tickets from October 14th. I would suppose he's referreing to the eventim and getgo tickets.

ah ok thank you!!i really hope not to miss them..

no news yet??

The Catholic church is demanding that the event is canceled as 1 November is All Saints and a high Catholic holiday, one of the days where loud music and dancing in public places are still banned (same as e.g. Good Friday). They are doing this to distract from the latest paedophile scandal in Riekofen to uphold the Catholic identity of Munich and Bavaria.

City hall is insisting that as the event is an indoors venue limited to a comparatively small attending clientel and as it is also an event of international importance cementing Munich's role as an important cultural venue it was correct to issue the permission in spite of the holiday character of the day.

All Saints are on the bill now? Now I definitely want to get tickets.

no news yet??

i still can't find any tickets on-line... has anyone figured out where to get any yet without having to play any games or being the 13th caller?

your chances are pretty low. there is online artice on SZ which states that getting tickets the normal way 'buy them' is nearly impossible.
good luck anyway

bit late in the day and no time to translate sorry! Just received following email from MTV. Cant believe they are doing a casting for audience members...

Wenn ihr immer schon mal live bei den MTV Europe Music Awards im Publikum dabei sein wolltet, dann haben wir jetzt was ganz Besonderes für euch!
Wir veranstalten HEUTE in München ein Casting für alle, die am nächsten Donnerstag Megastars wie die Foo Fighters und EMA-Moderator Snoop Dogg aus nächster Nähe zujubeln wollen. Kommt einfach zum Presseeingang der Münchner Olympiahalle, bringt euren Ausweis mit und seid über 18 Jahre alt. Die Castings finden von 11 bis 14 Uhr und von 15 bis 19.00 Uhr statt.

That's a bit crazy. I heard from someone who works at Sony Ericsson and they can't get tix either.

Anyway, they need to go back to getting comedians hosting it. These ©rap stars have no personality.

There are posters up around London for this, featuring Mr Snoop Doggy Dogg himself in Lederhosen (and I think in football socks?). Similar to this picture, but you can't really see his socks there.

I've just heard on the radio that Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse are going to do a duet, that should be good for a laugh! Although this site denies it!

Did anyone manage to find a way to go to this?

Apparently there were some castings and an acquiantance of mine got accepted - what did she have to do? Scream at the top of her lungs for 15 seconds.

i live in milbertshofen and could walk over to olympiahalle if i felt like it, anyone think it would be worth it to see someone famous or maybe get in?

We were thinking the same, anyone been past there today?

Not that I'd really want to watch the EMA's...but since it's in town, I'm for some reason interested...it sucks that I don't get MTV ...all I get is CNN

Just spent last few hours there trying to meet Pete Doherty...

Never got to see him but by God there was teeny chicks galore wearing next to nothing. The Tokyo Hotel fan chicks being the best !!

Its a far cry from November first's spent with me mother praying for lost souls in the local graveyard !!!

Peole nowadays just dont give a castlemaine about God or indeed anyone !!

why ANYONE would wait hours to meet that waste of life is beyond me, but i'm down for half-naked chicas...maybe i should walk over there now

It is All Saint's Day...they should've cancelled the whole thing.

We already did that discussion.. you´re on the wrong thread for that.
