I did try to interview most of the fans, but those two, were very shy, I am not sure even where they were from, I did try to speak Finnish, English or German without much success, maybe I should have try Hebrew.

Sibeliustalo seating / tickets
I'm just planning a weekend trip to Lahti in March (and I'm very very excited about it too).
The purpose of this trip is to go see two concerts at the Sibelius Hall (and to sneakily listen to random people speaking Finnish - it ain't eavesdropping if I don't understand what they're saying!). Has anyone here been to the Sibelius Hall? The first concert is with the Lahti Sinfonia, and I would prefer to have a seat where I could actually SEE (as well as hear, obviously) properly. Are the 1st floor seats okay? Should I go for an upper level one? Any advice on this would be grand!
The second concert is a metal one, so I'm not too concerned there. Chances are I won't use the seat anyway :-P
Any and all input welcome, taaaa!
Re: Sibeliustalo seating / tickets
I don't understand what is exactly your concern? I believe from any seat you will be able to hear the music but obviously more central seat usually have the better acoustic. If you want to see the orchestra from close and how they actually play the instruments, so then the closer the better :) Upper floor is nice for a view but then not much details to see.
PS: I am not sure I will call Apocalyptica real metal band, but anyhow, a good show is a promise :)
Re: Sibeliustalo seating / tickets
Thanks for getting back to me. I should probably have said that I'm not very tall, so I usually have a bit of a problem if I get someone of "regular size" in front of me. Ah, I'll just get in as close as I can and hope for midgets in front of me :-P
I think Apo, covers aside, have gone more in the direction of metal after they included Sirén in their lineup (and lost Manninen), the hectic drumming really does the trick there. Metal or not - their shows are brilliant, and that's what matters.
Re: Sibeliustalo seating / tickets
Yes, their show is brilliant and you do not want to see them while seated ;-)
Travel Tips for Lahti
Fans
I am not sure about this one, I think she was from Germany but one thing I am sure about, she supporting the Norwegians jumpers and, of course, the No.1 idol of the ski jump world cup, Bjørn Einar Romøren.
Fans
Make no mistake here, she did not speak Finnish or English, must be a French then, it is just that it has been long time since a Frenchman was successful around the ski jumps competitions, but we will keep hoping.
Fans of the king
Here are few fans of the king of ski jumping. Janne Ahonen was breaking few records in ski jumping this season, he won the four hills tournament, the world championships and the ski world cup season. No doubt, the current king.
Finlandia Ski Marathon
Finlands biggest skiing event is Finlandia-hiihto.
About 5000 participants every year.
Competition is held in late february, usually week 8.
Race distance is 62km classic style (saturday) and 50km free style (sunday).
