After the Parc des Princes concert!




AFTER
When they turned on the lights to the stadium, the public who was left understood that there wouldn't be any more pyrotechnic surprises, and that everything was over. Some stay for a few dozen minutes meanwhile staff is packing the material, and the trucks are ready to leave.

200 fans, among the most informed, went to the VIP entrance to try to see Bill, Tom, Georg, and Gustav leave, because often they change and eat a bit in their lodge before leaving.
At all the exits there are poster salesmen, and merch stands from the official boutique, which propose CDs, DVDs, T-shirts, hats...and and they distribute "pochettes" (?) from the Official Photo Album.
We can see the police taking a dozen or more suspects, handcuffed, suspected of robberies, harassment, or sexual touching, taking during the show. Some took away those who were sticking to some of the young girls. Obviously they hadn't come for the music...

Not many had gone to the hippodrome d'Auteuil, which was situated nearby, and had preferred to keep in their ears this 113 unforgettable souvenir.

Others went directly the hotel Park Hyatt. At around midnight, at both entrances, back and front, there were about 400 to 500 fans, some with parents who had accompanied them. They were all along the walls, between red and white security tape, and in waiting lines organized by the police and even the BAC, on the sidewalk facing the hotel, between two police cars.

Bill, Tom, Gustav, and Georg arrived by the principal entrance at around 23:00 without stopping or signing autographs.
On the second floor, fans were seen at the window of a room which they had reserved in order to try to approach the boys...and suppositions of all sorts were made when we saw pretty women, well-dressed, come in and then out, high-heels and sexy dresses: were they there for the band or were they simply hotel clients?

Tokio Hotel left by the back entrance at around 2:00 in the morning. They put a black van in front as a bait, for the fans to regroup around before leaving from behind accompanied by Andreas.
But about 50 courageous fans stayed, even sleeping against the hotel walls. They saw them pass 3 times, but they didn't stop. Many were foreigners, Portuguese, Spanish, or German.
End
Oh and, did I mention that Gustav's parents and Georg's mom were at the concert?

Hey, I'm sorry this wasn't perfect, the original article was so much better that it even made me feel like I'd been there :). Oh well, at least you have a little idea of what it was like?<3
