Thanks for the pics Pottel.
looks nice.....
as I can remember we were warned about ordering more sticks and the dispatch after the last concert, by mail :smack

It still s*cks

Well, I guess so... My fault. I als was wrong about the postage. Sorry.
Too bad I ordered 2 Sticks from early in the tour and 2 from almost the end at once...

However - what really sucks:
I had to pay German VAT (19%).
And when I will finally get them I will be ADDITIONALLY charged the VAT of my country, based on the full price including German VAT including postage PLUS 25

Can anybody who joined one of the first 5 shows tell us if the sticks are also offered at the venue after the show? How much do they cost picking them up at the concert hall?

This may come across as me being a giant leecher and all, which is only partly true by the way :P , but
are the contents of these sticks to be shared amongst fans, somewhere deep underground?
I for one am willing to accidentally leak the contents of the Antwerp and Luxembourg gig somewhere (not publicly) on the net, for those interested.
Just wondering.

I am not sure what others are thinking and I am not an editor or even close to that. I think that it is the thing that we are not going to speak or arrange here, because sticks are official material and not bootlegs. However, maybe it is everyone

Silvertown is right. Already in another thread I mentioned it. It's nice you want to share but .....

What you do underground, amongst friends and all is your own business, but keep  :-X

We are not going to share them here, no links allowed, no arrangements here. It is official and you know we only share bootlegs.

The spanish tracker doesn't allow the content of the sticks nor bootlegs from this tour either, because there's this official recording.
I hope you all understand. We don't want to have trouble with MK, band and/or management.

That's what I thought. ;)
I really like the look of those USB-sticks though, so might as well buy some spares. :P

When I traded bootlegs in the good old days it took about 4 working days from mainland Europe to the UK.  You can add on the 2 days to produce it, so expect to wait about 8 days. :-\

I know what you mean but this was an old one from 1970, quite hard to find and I actually got it in an auction for quite a good price (about

Back to the sticks:
Last night I tried to order another one (without completing), and guess what?
The system told me "based on your shipping address the taxes will be omitted" !
Wow.  :clap
But I'm still waiting for them to reply to my email and getting a refund; plus: they need to quote the net value; otherwise I will still pay the value of two sticks to customs (for getting a total of two!)  :'(

Er..... tried to order a stick and Australia was not listed in the 'select country' field! :(

Am I doing something wrong or is there no arrangement to post sticks here?
Hey, i`ve got a truffle dog - finally a song the ordinary man can relate too!
