I sold my tickets because Five Points amphitheatre is the worst venue I have ever been to. The only time I have enjoyed a show there is when buying VIP front and Center seats and even then there security is the worst. Last show the people I knew from the meet and greet with Foreigner spent between 900 and 2000 for a paid of tickets yet when I walked down to the stage Indis not get stopped once and asked for my ticket. I learned against the rail against the stage with the aisle behind me and never was told to leave the area and neither was anyone who paid $49 for baxkrow seats. When you sit in the upper section, meaning 300's, there is no security, the seats are temporary, and its a bit more cramped then the airlines. Of someone moves, the entire section moves, and the entire row has to clear the row because it is impossible to get buy. Of anything happens in the upper sections, which is very possible seeing that everytime you get to your seat you have to ask someone who doesnt belong there to move. And when I sat 2nd row, I had at least 10 different neighbors from people climbing over the seats. With such

The band was exceptional, the lights magical, sound a bit of a problem at the beginning, but grew better towards the end of the show, especially when singing their older songs.

The Athens State Orchestra did not manage to see, except the last song - the one with Shenker - as I was entering the stadium, because, even though I had the most expensive VIP ticket (with numbered seat), I - among most of the crowd - could not enter, since there where NO lines, NOONE from the production company, NO security to help and guide us. As a result, the concert began as sceduled, at 21:00 sharp ad all of us were outside trying - I got pushed over, squeezed etc - to get in. Because of that - the entrance delay - they did not check our tickets (nobody was at the gates any way) so whoever wanted to enter the stadium - with NO ticket - could by all means enter. When entered the stadium there were AGAIN nobody to escort or show us to our seats, with limited lighting, and when we FINALLY found our seats there were people seating already refusing to get up - since they told us that people from the organisation told them to seat WHEREVER they wished, since there was no time to seat them and obviously without entry control we were outnumbered - and spend about 30 minutes trying to convince them for the obvious: to get up and let us seat on our NUMBERED seats, while searching for SOMEONE from the production company to assist. The stairs were full of people (this is against safety policy) and I managed to get down to arena after stepping on hands (it was dark as I mentioned earlier) to find someone in charge....NOONE, only one security guy who wasn't authorised to help with the situation and finally a "staff" who told me that he was a driver and would try to find someone to assist. They had NO CBs to intercommunicate and were running up and down to find whomever they were searching for. Finally, the paramedics, also had NO CBs and as we saw a girl in distress form above we were trying to communicate through signals that they should speed to the spot. The production company - I've never heard of them in Greece - are plain potential murderers.

The show of the concert was great, but we didn't really see the collusion of the band with the symphonic orchestra. The orchestra came, played their part, and after that we never saw them again. The sould could be better. The legendary Scorpions gave it all though. They made as feel good and they carried as away!

The organization was not good. Two small entrances for sooo many people. That lead to huge queues. I felt there was not so much security, during the check of the tickets.

It was great seeing Kallimarmaro full, from people who came to enjoy Scorpions!

Great experience. Could be much better.

At 50, Scorpions still rock like a hurricane

On the Road Again, USA TODAY's spotlight on artists on tour, this week looks at heavy metal band The Scorpions .

Still packing a sting. German metal band The Scorpions bring their 50th-anniversary world tour to North America for 16 dates starting Sept. 10 at Boston's Blue Hills Bank Pavilion. Though best known for such '80s and '90s hits as Rock You Like a Hurricane and Wind of Change , sets on the current tour pull from every era. "Since we're celebrating 50 years all around the world, we thought it would be nice to go back to the '70s and play some earlier material," says singer Klaus Meine. The shows also will include material from the group's  Return to Forever , which comes out Friday.

The early days. Founding guitarist Rudolf Schenker is the only remaining member who recalls the first Scorpions gigs and the band's makeshift sound system. "The first one was three guys playing over one amplifier," Schenker says. "The bass destroyed the speaker, and we always had to have an electrician with us to fix the speaker. We had a drummer who played maybe on one bass drum, a snare and a tom."

Finding their groove. The modern Scorpions sound began to coalesce when Meine and Rudolf's brother, guitarist Michael Schenker, joined the band in the late '60s. Their first sets mixed covers of Chuck Berry and Little Richard with hard-rock favorites like Led Zeppelin, Taste and Colosseum. Soon, says Meine, "we started writing our own songs, very much inspired by Led Zeppelin and, at the time, Taste's Rory Gallagher." Michael left the Scorpions in 1973 to join UFO. In addition to Rudolf and Meine, the band's current lineup features guitarist Matthias Jabs, bassist Pawel Maciwoda and drummer James Kottak.

Called up to the big leagues.  The Scorpions played their first U.S. show July 28, 1979, at the World Series of Rock at Cleveland Lakefront Stadium, opening a show that also featured performances by AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, Journey, Ted Nugent and Aerosmith. Afterwards, the band toured with Nugent and AC/DC for three months. "America, for us, was rock and roll pure," says Shenker. "Going by the bus and driving through this big country. Everything in the United States is rock and roll. Coca-Cola. The roads. The cars. The fans."

Behind the Iron Curtain. The Scorpions never managed to book a show in East Germany before German reunification in 1990. "It was impossible for us to get a concert behind the wall," Meine says. "But we went to Hungary in '87, so many fans came to see us from the (Deutsche Demokratische Republik). The promoter there made a connection for us with the Russian government, so we had the invitation in '88 to go to the Soviet Union and play shows in Leningrad. We had to go the long way — we had to go to the Soviet Union.

Never can say goodbye. When the Scorpions announced a farewell tour in 2010, the members of the band fully intended to retire from the road. "We were tired of touring and playing 100 shows a year in 30 countries," Meine says. But there's nothing like extended downtime to make a band want to go out again. Now, the future remains wide open. "We realized there's still more gas in the tank. At this point, it doesn't make sense to say goodbye to all this, which is, after all, our lives."

Scorpions Announce North American Dates For ‘Final Sting’ World Tour

by Zach Shaw | Mar 1, 2012 | Touring | 3 comments

In fact, the Scorpions have already promised that their Final Sting World Tour will run through early 2013. The band has already booked a ton of dates around the world and special festival appearances (including Germany’s Wacken Open Air) for 2012, and just recently announced North American dates. The trek will see the Scorpions playing amphitheaters across the U.S. and Canada this Summer. Given the tour’s time frame, this could actually be the last time fans in America will get to see the Scorpions live. That is, of course, assuming that they won’t extend the tour even further after 2013…
