The concert that AC/DC will hold on Saturday 25 May at the RCF Arena with Pretty Reckless as the opener was presented today in Reggio Emilia.
The band's only Italian concert sold out in a few hours and therefore no other tickets are available other than the 100,000 that were sold. The gates will open at 12, Pretty Reckless will take the stage at 7pm, AC/DC at 8.45pm. In addition to singer Brian Johnson and guitarist Angus Young, there will be Stevie Young on rhythm guitar, Chris Chaney on bass, Matt Laug on drums.
“It will be very important to move well in advance towards the concert venue considering the large number of travelers on Italian motorways and the all-Italian characteristic of exit payments at motorway toll booths which already generates queues during weekends and the summer season,” he said. Claudio Trotta of Barley Arts. «I hope to see few cell phones in use during the concert because they distract from the reality and truth of the live performance and because they take away the magic from the brightness of the stage and annoy those behind or next to those who use them».
Tickets are nominal. He informs the organizer that «when entering the Arena, the control service staff will verify that the name on the ticket and the identity document of those who enter match. We remind you that the name change service will be active on the Ticketone website until 6pm on Friday 24 May; only one name change can be made per ticket.” Children up to 6 years old will enter for free.
THE RCF Arena is divided into sectors indicated on the ticket (Red Zone where there are areas reserved for people with disabilities for those who have booked them, Yellow Zone, Orange Zone, Green Zone, Blue Zone). It will not be possible to change them. «Each area is equipped with its own refreshment points, bars, merchandising and toilets. Once you have accessed the Arena it will no longer be possible to leave until the end of the concert.”
