Would it be an option to come at some earlier time in the day or night to buy tickets when there isn't such a line? What time do they start selling tickets?

Tickets are sold out by now, apparently.

If you haven't got one already chances are you're not going to get one...

Best advice is to get there early and brace yourself for a lonnnnnnng queue.

How early is early?

I want to go to Weekend first so what time do you think I should leave there to hit up Berghain?

Then go there in the beginning of the sunday afternoon after a nap. The party goes untill monday anyway.

Someone has put two tickets up for sale on ebay.........£350 for the pair. Am i right in saying face value is around £40? Is everyone with a ticket able to gain entry without standing in line for two hours waiting on judgement??

Last year having a ticket did not necessarily guarantee entrance due to the Ebay auctions. Caveat emptor...

I wonder if the nochmal alle zusammen means that the Panorama artists will play b2b2b2b, etc. There's only 7 dj's, they'd otherwise have to play really really long sets to make it to the end of the party.

the b2B2B2B2B will probably also include some of djs booked in the Lab...and def not Galluzzi since he plays London on the 1st in the evening...

Last year it was a B2B2B with tama sumo, prosumer and nd_baumecker, only tama and Nd doing the really end. It was great and my highlight of this very long party actually.

This year we don´t know who will play, I don´t think that really ALL the residents will be there for the end. we just can guess and wish

What is the earliest hour on the 31st that I can go there to buy tickets? In other words, what time does the "ticket window" open?

Is it really that difficult or hard to read ..... ?

Maybe we should take into account that articfox is comming from another world, a world where for concert for example you always buy a ticket, right before the concert or some days earlier. So for this person somehow, there´s always "a ticket" even in the middle of the night. Just a supposition.

I do hope nevertheless that artic fox heard a bit about this weird music we call techno before.

Well they had presale before so I thought maybe that means there is a place other than the last second before you are walking into the club that people can buy tickets. They are being called "tickets" but sounds more like "entrance fee".

Anyway, so what you guys are saying is that Berghain is a place where no matter what, if people want to enter on the night of NYE, they need to commit many hours of their NYE to standing in a cue? Is that the bottom line?

A limited number of tickets were sold ahead of time. They're now sold out. Anyone without a ticket or a spot on the guest list will have to wait in line - possibly for a few hours.

Also bear in mind that there are other places with a decent lineup on NYE in Berlin where the wait may not be as long:

Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll end up at Watergate or Tresor, but my preference was for Berghain. If it turns out I'm I still intent on Berghain on this trip then perhaps another alternative would be to go the next night in hopes of there being an acceptable cue then, assuming the party is just about as good then...

gonna be insane

Huuurrrrryyyy the timetales please so we can organize our weekend ! refreshing berghain site 5 times per day ...
it hould come soon now, no ?

I think it came on the Tuesday last year, but that event was on a Friday whereas this year the event is on a Saturday, so my guess would be that it will go up on Wednesday.

The timetable for the Friday Panoramabar event went up yesterday, btw.

I love your rationalism! Thank you for this demonstration
I really hope you´re right and that the timetable won´t make it too difficult to see all my favourits residents.

Last year the party started friday night, and finished on monday morning around 11am

That will be a very niiice sunday
Perfect for me.

Perfect for me too. Probably going to do a mini-session early on to catch Shed etc, then return for the major session from Sunday afternoon.

As if I wasn't excited enough already...

Same here ! Too excited...
I think I'll come at the beginning too , get and stamp, a little Shed and then come back from Dettmann till Klock .
Queue should be "OK" early saturday night no ? Around 11:30pm?
Midnight into the queue but wotrh it

This timetable looks great as far as I´m concerned. It just seems hard to chose when to make a break in the evening but I will find.

Thank you berghain!

nice to see Dj Pete playing so late, that means he will finally comes out of his dubstepbox and play some of his rare and amazing technosets!

I think I will probably first enter Panorama Bar around 9 o' clock. Nick Höppner - not to be missed! Before that its Berghain all the way. Which is great, because as I recall from other silvesterparties Panorama is so unbelievable packed the first 8 hours

Galuzzi always packs panorama when he plays, as many times as I've seen him. I know a lot of people representing sunday Panne crowd who are absolutely in love with Galuzzi. The club needs all of its multi-faceted performers to stay diverse. And I also do not agree that Panorama has a specific style assigned to it (Margaret Dygas and Ryan Elliott also, for instance, do not fall into the House Classics category).. Just an opinion..

Hahah

I don't see any time for brake! Oh poor me... I have to dance for at least 25 hrs Especially from 7-23 100% power!
But why the last set starts so early? Last year Liebing was starting at 7 pm 2 Jan. Can we still hope for some suprise?

Let's hope for some surprises along the way. Since new year's day falls on a sunday, rather than a saturday like last year, people will have to go back to work a little earlier. The good news: next NYE is on a Thursday...

Guess what? I bet, we´ll find next year as well some funny guys complaining on the fact that there´s no dj beginning his set on wednesday evening.


That´s berlin.

Berlin the onlyplace on Earth where weekends are longer than weeks!!!

ah ah ah! So true!

i really hope that he'll play some bass stuff as well. imo its refreshing to hear broken beats too and not only straight techno

Actually, it looks like next year NYE is on a Monday, so maybe they'll have a normal lineup of separate events on the weekend and then party from 1:00 on January 1 on into January 2 like this year? But I think we're getting ahead of ourselves...

i'll try anyway

see you tomorrow inside the beast of deepness!

anyone remember the night o the cockfight?

what time is sylvester playing?

saw a cock fight last year down the back

i got a ticket here which i wont need to use. write me a pm if you are looking for one

monday 17:00 still going
not very exciting tho
place could do with a black sabbath or clash record being dropped

also the lab should be opened on sat nights as a disco / deep house only zone for the heads

fair play to tama sumo for the garage tho
great vibes

All this talk - Can anybody write a review :-) ?

I'll try.

Got inside around 10:30 Sunday morning. As I had a ticket I got straight into the Panoramabar where Ryan Elliot played pretty good. Went downstairs for a little walk and went back when Prosumer started. I liked him although I've heard him better before. Stayed in the Panne all the time with sometimes a jump into the Berghain where the atmosphere was pretty good. Went to laboratory which was very good musically but the crowd with no offense is not mine. Stayed till 7:30 and went back at 6 in the evening which was my shortest time ever cause the finished around 7:30. Musically it wasn't my best night but I liked the atmosphere

I thought it was fantastic. Arrived for Soundstream and Luke Slater, who were both excellent, then went upstairs for Nick Hoeppner who was absolutely amazing - perhaps one of my favourite sets I've seen there. Pretty much all classics, but for the Silvester party mood I thought it fit perfectly. Had to head home for a sleep after that, but came back for Boris, who was also great (turning the mince-ometer up to 11), and Deetron which I personally really enjoyed, but the crowd did seem rather subdued by that point (although we were 24 hours in so I guess it's to be expected!)

Virginia (who replaced Steffi) seemed to have some sound problems in Pano after that, so I took a bit of a break then went downstairs to DVS1 who was awesome. Very intense and very immersive, and the crowd were still really going strong. ND Baumecker was also fantastic upstairs, and I really enjoyed what I heard of Tama too, although by this time there was no dancing left in my legs so I had to enjoy things from the seats.

I heard that Steffi was feeling better on Monday afternoon and played then, which I'm really sad to have missed, but I think I managed about 22 hours all in all so I can't really complain too much!

Lots of Good selections, especially from Tama Sumo, Shed, Faki and Butler. First tune i heard from panni while queuing outside a bit after midnight was Voodoo Ray. After that it felt like the 303-squelches would haunt my eve in the best way possible on all three floors.

Amazing weekend!
Especially DVS1 was great - first time I've heard him live. Ben klock was also great - the last half hour he dropped supertracks like these 3:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c_t-FZ4biY www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvOCee-iWtQ www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8jy9MuhDZo
Klock also played a track which I really need an ID on. Dont have much info - he played it towards the end. Its a track with a distorted female vocal screaming "wuhu" wuhu" - not singing but screaming - can anyone help?

Screaming / distorted? Maybe the Aphex Twin "Elephant song" ?

Any idea what was DVS1 last track? Apparently some Radiohead remix...

Is this the screaming track you were on about? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNVOCZZZinI&feature=related

I had an absolutely smashing time! Got there right at the end of Shed's set. Stayed mostly in Berghain for my 1st session, had to take a break about midway through Dettmann's set. Came back and absolutely loved Klock and DVS1, and thought nd_baumecker and Sumo played very well upstairs as well. Have just a couple of quick questions. Who was the dj that closed Berghain after DVS1? When did Panaroma stay open till, and who played? I only saw Tama and Baumecker. All in all one of the best nights of my life - my 2nd session was 19 hours!
