    I want to seriously look into coming now, if my health improves a bit. Whether my magazine helps with the costs or not.
    I am extremely serious.

    And now, perhaps I could ask you guys beforehand about cheap hotels (but not youth hostels etc.) in Ghent? The one I was in last time (by the train station), was OK...but a bit far from the city centre and not extremely cheap.
    I am extremely serious.

    Ha! I don't know much about hotels in Ghent (not a cheap city), perhaps Bob knows this better. I think Ibis is a an okay option (35EUR a night?). Perhaps you can try booking.com or so, and book ahead.

    Ibis is 237 Euro for the whole period (friday to monday). Quite normal price, I would say (not cheap, not expensive). But you're right. Ghent is not a cheap city by European standards.

    I am definitely going to Ghent this year.

    Bregt, do we have to buy the tickets in advance, or can we wait a few weeks / months? Also, how many days is the event?
    Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you

    Very cool! cheesy

    You can wait a few weeks and/or months, but the best seats will be gone. I also don't know due to the big names this year, how fast this is gonna go.

    The concerts are part of the film festival itself, which lasts 11 days (11-22 October). So far only 2 concerts have been announced, one at the beginning (Masters of Suspense) and one at the end (WSA) which is unlike previous editions. Normally they put all these concerts in the last 4 or 5 days, unfortunately not this year. Perhaps more will be announced later, but I'm not sure.

    It's not a film music festival like Ubeda or Tenerife, since the concerts are part the film festival, but there's a lot of focus on film music. There's also always one master class with one of the guest composers a (few) day(s) before WSA and a couple of film music documentaries.

  15. just so you know, I could go already tomorrow for tickets. So those who know they'll definitely be going, I can go for tickets tomorrow at FNAC.

    Tickets for the World Soundtrack Awards cost €27, €37 or €47

    I go for the 47 euros

    Bregt for you as well? Marcel, you want the 47 euro one?
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh

    you said it, who knows the best seats will be out the door within 2 weeks.

    I have no problem to buy a ticket for Marcel, but I don't want to wait that long.

    I need a week or so to check out hotels and stuff. Airplane is relatively cheap (with Ryan Air). I guess I can't wait for my health to improve if I want to have good seats/good accomodation.

    You're right - I hadn't noticed that yet. Not too bad though, that it's spread a bit, but for the international filmmusic fans, it might be a bit of a bother I can imagine.
    Will there be a third, smaller, concert again, you think?

    Friday (21st) and Saturday (22nd) are gonna be fun. Last year, with Bob, Thomas, Elin, Thor and others, we had two great nights. Previous editions had a concert on Thursday too, so perhaps this year as well, I have no idea. smile

    Ok, it seems 21st and 22nd are the ones, with the possibility of the 20th. Nice! Which is the closest airport to Ghent?

    If I'm coming this year, I probably won't be able to drink, though (due to the liver thing). Which sucks big time, but I'll manage. Most important thing now is to get the finances in order. It would be from Friday to Monday.
    I am extremely serious.

    I have my reservations on whether his musical material can be successfully transferred to the orchestral spectra. Look what happened with the (horrible imo) Silva Zimmer re-takes, vol1 and 2, for instance.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Brussels National Airport (BRU) is the most central (45 minutes by train to Ghent). Then there are some Ryanair destinations (Charleroi/Brussels South and Ostend). I have no experience on how easy it is to navigate from Charleroi or Ostend to Ghent. Thor, can you help with the latter?

    I think Vueling flys from Barcelona to BRU quite often for reasonable prices, and also Iberia, when booking ahead does a fair job.

    If you all are planning to come to Ghent, I will take a day off on Friday and Monday. smile

    Just got posted on Facebook:

    Here's the latest, Goldenthal fans! A double album of BATMAN FOREVER will be released this October by LA LA LAND RECORDS. Also in October, at this years "World Soundtrack Awards" in Ghent, dedicated to fallen colleague Ronni Chasen, Goldenthal is planning a live performance of his music from ALIEN 3, TITUS and possibly PUBLIC ENEMIES.

    TITUS last year live was cool, but ALIEN 3 live will be awesome! punk
    Now, if only he could add FINAL FANTASY...

    Getting to Ghent from Charleroi is fairly easy (first the airplane bus to Brussels [be sure to be quickly out of the airport because lines for the bus quickly develop, and if you're too late, you'll have to wait a long time for the next!), then the train to Ghent). But getting back was a bit more cumbersome, as I got totally lost in the Brussels central station and couldn't find the airport bus from there. Very little help to find and confusing signs all over the place.
    I am extremely serious.
