The audience could prepare for a minimalist stage show that could come up with light, laser and occasional pyrotechnics. Sheeran wore a "Hamburg" shirt, which immediately made a connection to the city. The concert pulled over two and a half hours and was peppered with hits from different albums, including "The A Team" and the new earwigs "Sapphire", "Old Phone" and "Azizam". This resulted in a colorful mix that inspired both new and old fans. The Rolling Stone indicates that the set included an impressive list of songs that were perfected throughout the evening.

It was a challenge for the event location because the construction work on the Elbe tunnel took place parallel to the concerts. Fortunately, the closures were lifted again on Sunday evening, so that the journey for the fans was much more smooth than it was initially feared.

The final preparations and support

The number of ticket demand was tremendous in advance. A total of eight shows in Stuttgart, Hamburg and Düsseldorf were planned for the tour, and many were quickly sold out. As Tickets-aktuell.de , over 100,000 tickets were sold solely for the Hamburg-Termine, which impressively demonstrates the popularity of the artist. Fans who did not manage to get a ticket could fall back on the second market, where the prices varied depending on the offer.

The journey to the shows was well regulated: the S-Bahn stations Stellingen and Eidelstedt, as well as Othmarschen, offered comfortable connections. In addition, the buses on line 22 to the Schnackenburgallee were a popular way for many concert goers. It was advisable for the drivers to use the HH-Volkspark exit of the A7/A23.

The next stop in Düsseldorf is already in the starting blocks. After the resounding enthusiasm in Hamburg, expectations of the upcoming appearances are immensely high.
