Was it sold out? The park holds 50K--was there that many people? 18 yrs waiting for Duran! Cool it was a good show.... As far as I know (what it says on the web), the total capacity is 17 000. also, it has different arrangements depending on the show, so not every gig has the same capacity. Below is a photo to give you an idea of how packed it was. Actually we were a bit scared at first, since it filled up very slowly, and was hardly 1/5 full a bit after the regular door opening time (19:00). It was still not completely full at 21:00, when the concert was supposed to start. But the reason is obvious: a town of 15 million + 37 degrees celcius and 90% humidity outside + a Monday, when everyone was figthing in the horrible traffic to get out of work, stop by home and then make it to the venue + Turkish time (which lags just as conveniently as Duran time ). So towards 22:00, everything was sorted out, it had chille down a bit, the venue was packed, and the greatness started!

Hoşbuldum . I joined the Turkish FB page only recently, but I've been on the DDM forum since I guess 2 years now. I will write you again later; gotta pack for the Italy tour now! Görüşürüz .
