Who are Scorpions?
Scorpions were formed in Hanover in 1965 and, with a career past sixty years, are among the longest-running bands on the European hard rock scene.
The line-up is Klaus Meine (vocals), Rudolf Schenker (rhythm guitar), Matthias Jabs (lead guitar), Paweł Mąciwoda (bass) and Mikkey Dee (drums). Rock You Like a Hurricane, Still Loving You and Wind of Change anchor every show. The band runs both arena tours and a Las Vegas residency, and the ticket logic differs.

Arena tour or residency?
On an arena tour the show travels from city to city and the production is built at a portable scale. In a residency the stage is fixed, the show is designed for that room, and the number of dates is limited.
Residency tickets leave little date flexibility, so build the trip around the ticket date. For presale mechanics see the presale and ticket queue guide.
Arena categories and stage direction
In an arena the stage sits at one end of the room; sightlines narrow in the side stands and blocks behind the stage may not go on sale at all.
Read the block number and the restricted-view note rather than the category name. The stadium and arena ticket-category guide explains what each block means.

How to plan travel for a Scorpions concert
Buy the ticket first and search for flights afterwards. For a residency, the date is fixed, so book the trip around it rather than the other way round.
On arena tour stops, choose accommodation by late-night transport links and book the return for the following day.
Keep planning
