I am a student from india...22 years old...and i love potf...infact they are my favorite!!i am presently working as an intern for 2 months in Abo Akademi,Turku...n i would really like to meet potf before i go back....i am planning to attend their performance in Helsinki or Naantali...please let me know if this is possible....

There is almost always the chance to have a little chat with the guys after a gig, get autographs, pictures and stuff. But on the other hand there is no guarantee for anything. It depends on the day, the venue, the crowd, the mood, the time table, you name it...

At the end of the day they are all humans too, believe it or not. Best of luck for you.

Thanx a lot man!!In that case...can you suggest me at which place should i watch their performance,i mean,less crowd and all....

If with Helsinki you are referring to the concert at Kaisaniemi, that is out anyway, because you need a Veikkaus card (some type of lottery thingy as I understood) to even purchase a ticket as far as I know.

Less than that there is no telling which is better really. I have and have not met them after gigs in small clubs or at festivals. It is like Sascha said, depending on different factors and none of them you can determine beforehand.
Just go there, enjoy the show and hope for the best. Good luck. And if meeting them does not work out I guarantee you you will have seen a great concert!

If you are in Turku, why do you not go to Ruisrock? There is also the Kooma Night club gig in Turku, but I've read somewhere (on the ticket website I think) you have to be 24 to get in.

Well am also from India. And i am dying to meet POTF. Now am doing my higher studies. After completing it my next aim will be meeting them live. And i think i'll surely achieve my aim.
LONG LIFE POETS OF THE FALL

All right....thanks a lot man!!I'm looking forward to the concerts in Turku,Naanatali n Forssa.....i'm keeping my fingers crossed for now

N gud luck to u too Bonny....if you're planning to attend any of these concerts u can inform me...let's c if we can do that together....

Yes buddy. We can play as a team.

But i am eagerly waiting for POETS OF THE FALL to visit India again.

I once met Olli and Captain very briefly, and they were really funny

Lucky U!!!!!

Yes! Me too! I would also like to meet the President of the US, Bono, Gerard Butler and Daniel Craig.

Off course POTF would be at the top of my list!

The others in order under POTF, Bono, Daniel Craig, Gerard Butler (I probably would have a good chance at this since he strolls the streets of whatever city he is in and randomly kisses and/or makes out with women, mostly brunettes, he doesn't know) and then Mr President. Sorry Mr. President but someone has to be at the bottom of my list and you can see how great my list is!

Good luck everyone!

yeah, meeting them would be a real dream come true. yet seeing them live would be close so I'm eagerly waiting for july 3rd to finally have that chance.. ^^,

Quite lucky.
But am far away from that time or opportunity to come for me to meet THEM.

The gig in forssa was so amazing.. and I got to talk to Jani after the concert. I suppose the true fans know what it would feel like to go to your first poets live, be in the front row and then get to talk to one of them.. I feel like a whole new person.

I don't know what it would feel like but I'm longing to find out.

You are so lucky!

I remember what it felt like. Happy for you
Enjoyed the gig as well - fun!

any chance us American fans will have a chance to meet the Poets?

ayushatiitr are you the guy who talked to Olli in Jyväskylä yesterday? Just wondering...

Yes i am the one!!!My name is Ayush Mishra.Are you the girl who asked me if i am the guy who started this forum then???



Happy as hell!!!!!

Never thought such an amazingly gifted person could be so humble and friendly.Olli u rock!!!!

Hope to be at Kooma nightclub on 28th now.....i wish they played Late goodbye n Maybe tomorrow is a better day...but wait....i have no right to wish anymore!!!



Love u POTF!!!!Couldn't ask for anything more now!!!!

Once we ran into them outside our favorite pizza joint xD They had a gig in the city that day, but still. Surreal...

No, I didn't talk to you, you were gone too fast. I just heard you telling Olli that you came all the way from India and assumed it must be you. I'm the woman who hugged Olli, but I think that was before you arrived.

Have fun at the Turku gig - I really wish I could be there too. About those two songs however: not this tour, but the show is always great!

Happy for you that you met Olli

Thanks a lot!!!!Yeah i had an amazing experience when they were on stage...and an ever better one when they were off it..

And lucky u to get to hug Olli...

Hope to be at Kooma nightclub,Turku,for their next gig...Goodluck to u too!!!

Take care...

God bless POTF!!!

I am the one who asked you...
Seems that your dream has (at least partly) come true!
And, believe it or not, the experience is each time as amazing, if not more!

U guys r so so lucky!!!I wish i was finnish too!!!!

Anyways,i thought it was a 'once in a lifetime' kinda thing....

So really really happy!!!!

U may recall i almost ran after meeting Olli...n believe me i don't know why i did that n where i had to go..... Really amazing guys!!!

God bless POTF!!!!

Ah they are poor mortals too, not more not less than all of us

I got Marko's autograph after my first PotF gig in Lahti last year. Actually I got two of them, to my arm and to a piece of paper. Some guard in the backstage took a picture on my camera with us and Marko hugged me and said "Thanks for coming to this gig" It was very awesome moment Still I feel very sad for them who haven't meet PotF Hopefully you can have that chance someday

If anybody is going to Moscow show (April 9th) and is going to wait for band after show or meet&greet before show, please let me know, i'd love to hand a CD for an autograph.

I was at last Tavastia gig, but I didn't realise that they gives autographs after the gig. When I read it from here the day after, it made me really sad, cause I missed that. It's have been my ultimate dream to meet the Poft since I first fall in love in Late Goodbye almost six years ago.

Last night I saw a dream. It was kind of music video for No End, No beginning... At the beginning there were Marko eating ice cream and sun is shining. Then he drops his ice cream into groung, clouds gauther in the sky and thunder is making noise. Then the song begins... I don't remember what happened during the song, but in the end the rain has cleaned the ground and there is no sign of the incident. Sun comes out and Marko goes to pic another ice cream.
Funny dream...and I'm still smiling.

So I'm still dreaming wide awake (and in my dreams too) to meet the guys some day, shake their hands and say least two things...

wow that's awesome. a would treasure that autograph divinely, and brag all the day about it XD. i wish i had more money to at least go to their gig someday
