Rammstein on Schalke: Fans delighted, but frustrated with beverage prices
The music events in Gelsenkirchen have recently caused a lot of excitement. After Taylor Swift appeared in the Veltins Arena, the international phenomenon of Rammstein followed. But while the majority of fans raved about a grandiose show, some were dissatisfied with the conditions on site, especially when it comes to drink prices.
Rammstein inspires 250,000 fans
The concerts of Rammstein in Gelsenkirchen attracted a total of 250,000 visitors and turned the five days into a spectacular event in the Veltins-Arena. Many concert visitors spoke up in social networks and described the impressive mood and the great performance of the band. A Facebook user said: "It was just an unforgettable experience. Nice people, horny atmosphere, great show with a hammer band."
High drink prices ensure resentment
Despite the overwhelming shows, some fans remained with an unadorned feeling. Above all, the high prices for water and other drinks were criticized. So a user reported the extreme prices: "The concert was really cool. But asking five euros for water at the heat on Tuesday is outrageous." This pricing policy caused a considerable incomprehension with many, because the temperatures were almost 25 degrees.
Concert visits can be expensive
In addition to the water prices, the fans reported high costs for beer and other drinks on the site. A fan stated that he had to pay seven euros for a beer , while a liter of water, with enormous thirst, cost up to 13 euros. While some of these prices took a smile and were happy about the fan cup, who served as a small souvenir from the concert, the frustration with the costs remains a much discussed topic.
New price adjustments for the future
The traffic of the high drink prices is partially understandable, since these are not determined by Rammstein, but by the stadium owner Schalke. However, the fans can hope for improvement:
fans as the heart of the event
The experiences of Rammstein on Schalke show the mixture of boundless fun and financial challenges that concert goers often face. The vast majority of visitors appreciated the music and emotions that the band transports , but it remains the task of the organizers to refresh these experiences through fair prices and to offer the fans a positive overall picture at concerts.
