THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN!

At last … the 2011 edition of Graspop Metal Meeting is fast approaching! This year’s metal sabbath is scheduled for 24 through 26 June 2011, but don’t miss our warming up party on Thursday 23 June. After all, the early bird catches the worm!

December 6th is not just the day when Saint Nicholas and his Black Petes prowl around on rooftops. It’s also D-day in metal land because we’ll be announcing the first confirmed acts for GMM2011!

Tickets for GMM2011 will go on sale on Wednesday 8 December at 9 am through ProximusGoForMusic. Ticket prices are largely the same as for last year’s edition.

Day ticket Saturday 25 June: 76 euros excl. service fee

Festival tickets inclusive train and bus for free
Each ordinary admission ticket is also valid for one outward journey and one return journey by train from any Belgian station (*) to MOL and for the final outward and return lap with buses from DE LIJN from the MOL station to the festival site. (*) Travellers who have Brussel-Nationaal-Luchthaven as departure or destination station have to pay the Diabolo fee.
Attention: the e-festival ticket is NOT valid for travelling by train but entitles you to one free nominative e-train ticket for an outward and return journey to MOL (including final stretch with buses De Lijn).
The festival goers from abroad can combine their ordinary admission ticket or e-train ticket with a transport ticket (outward and return journey) which is valid on the foreign railway networks until the Belgian frontier.
IMPORTANT: do consult www.sncb.be/graspop for the terms of use and validity of all the types of tickets and for ordering your e-train ticket.

GMM TOKEN PRESALES
Graspop tokens are the only currency that buy food and drink at GMM and they are available from the token dispensers scattered around the festival grounds. The tokens pay for cold beers, soft drinks, chips, pizza, pasta dishes and much more.
As of this year, the price for a Graspop token is 2.50 euros. This price rise was necessary to compensate for the higher cost of beer and soft drinks on the one hand and the ever-increasing artist budget and logistical costs on the other.

The good news is that the presale price of our Graspop token has remained the same as last year, viz. 2.25 euros/token.
In presale, Graspop tokens are only available in the form of booze bags. A booze bag is 50 euros (cost incl.) and apart from 22 food and drink tokens it also includes an exclusive mobile phone gadget as well as other gadgets to be collected from the various sponsor stands.
The booze bags are available until 1 May (or while stocks last) in the form of vouchers. The unique code printed on every voucher is scanned at the box office and you can collect your booze bag when you go to pick up your wristband. All in a single trip, does it get any more practical?

VIP UPGRADES
Just like last year, you can treat yourself to a VIP package at Graspop Metal Meeting. In the VIP lounge you can kick back and relax after a hard day of headbanging.

VIP upgrade combi 24-25-26 June: 105 euros, food & drinks and service costs not included
VIP upgrade Friday 24 June: 45 euros, food & drinks and service costs not included
VIP upgrade Saturday 25 June: 45 euros, food & drinks and service costs not included
VIP upgrade Sunday 26 June: 45 euros, food & drinks and service costs not included

VIP package consists of:
– Parking space in the VIP car park at 5 min. from the main entrance. Access to this car park requires a special VIP parking pass
– Access to the VIP lounge where you can enjoy the festival in comfort and with a view of the main stage to boot
– Avoid long queues at the main entrance and the campsite entrance and exchange your festival ticket and booze bag in no time

Important notice:
Festival VIPs must buy both a festival ticket AND a VIP upgrade. Your festival ticket includes free public transport to the festival site as well as access to the main festival arena. A VIP upgrade is your ticket to the VIP lounge. In other words, a VIP upgrade can only be used in combination with a valid festival ticket. Combi ticket holders have the same choice: they can also order a VIP package for 1 or 2 days so they’re not forced to buy a weekend VIP package just because they’ve bought a combi ticket.

CAMPING TICKETS
Camping tickets (15 euros) allow day ticket holders to spend the night on the camping site. A camping ticket is valid on the same day as your festival ticket, from 8 am till 12 noon the following day. Camping tickets will not be available in presale and will only be sold at the box office of the camping site itself.
