Timbo Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Would anyone who has been to the Parken stadium be able to offer advice on best seats for viewing the GP? I know that a few have indicated that sitting at the extremities of the track, i.e. the middle of bends 1/2 & 3/4 isn't the best. Also which is better - lower or upper tier? I also noticed on the ticket website Danish GP tickets that some of the seats aren't available (yet?) - such as the upper tier on the back straight and lower tier of main straight. Any idea whether these get released later? Hope someone can help me out here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicks Notes Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Timbo, Have been to Parken in 2003&4, on both occasions sat in the upper tier of home straight. I would say that it is probably the steepest stand I have ever encountered, with the result that the view, with one possible exception is excellent, you are high but not too far back so as to lose any atmosphere- you just need an oxygen tank for the long climb up there ! The one exception I mentioned is the tv gantry which is lowered from the roof. In 2003 it must have been set high because I didn't notice it obstructing anyones view. Last year however, it was set much lower and interfered with the view of the back straight racing. To avoid it this year, I had planned to sit in the upper tier on the back straight but as you have discovered, these seats aren't released yet! Enjoy it !

gooner_girl4eva Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Well I went to Parken last year and I sat in the Upper Tier of the first bend and I didnt really like it. There was no proper lighting so it was just sitting in darknesss. I had a good view of the pits and the racing but if I went back, I would rather sot on the home straight.

Timbo Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Thanks to NN and GG4E for that info..sounds like the back straight might be place to look for. I wonder what the lower tier is like though any others with comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Posted January 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Does anyone know when the upper tier seating will be released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 I sat in A3 in 2003. Was well impressed. Had good view plus was near very nice eating and drinking facilities. Toilets were good also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creetingblue Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Can anybodyplease advise how far the Parken stadium is, (in walking time for myself and elderly father), from the main train station/Tivoli gardens. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 From memory it's a good 40/45 minute walk - it's served by buses certainly though, info for which I'd imagine you'd be able to get from the Parken website. We walked there but viewed the walk back as wasting of valuable drinking time and got a taxi, which wasn't too expensive. Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The subway/metro/train will stop less than 1 km. from the stadium, and busses will go from both here and the central railway station right to the stadium. So it should be quite easy to get there by the public services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Posted January 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 (edited) Can anybodyplease advise how far the Parken stadium is, (in walking time for myself and elderly father), from the main train station/Tivoli gardens. Thanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A good place to start is Travel planner There is an English version to make it easier. For example, just outside København H (main station) get on bus #15 (destination Østerbro, Ryparken). This drops you right outside the Parken stadium in 20 minutes. Another example, train from København H (RE1071 or RE2162) to Østerport station [7 minutes], then bus #15 heading NW (destination Østerbro, Ryparken) 5 minutes - drops you right at the stadium. This website København H should give you a good idea of the main station/bus stops layout Hopes this helps Edited January 28, 2005 by Timbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Hey, these Danes are pretty switched on I ordered my tickets on Thursday and received them in Australia 6 days later on Wednesday - wake up Cardiff ticket people (why are they so slow ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
