    Maybe they could have a bigger team presentation area and thus more tickets

    Wow, the finish looks quite tricky. Up North Wall Quay, u-turn onto City Quay, into Lombard St, Westland Row and finally Merrion Street Upper? Should be exciting to watch!

    Anyone interested in seeing the stage pass through Castlebellingham - I live quite close by and I can give some info on vantage points - easy back road directions etc - not sure if there is a bonus sprint through Castlebellingham/Kilsaran - it's an uphill drag before a fairly long straight along the old N1 - if i can help anyone PM me ... but still no luck on the Belfast tickets ... they're gone at this stage surely :-(

    Edit: It's a feeding station - that will add to the mix - it looks crazy from what i've seen on the TV

    Get back on lads quickly - I just got 2 tickets - the basket time went up to 6 mins - put quantity 2 "select" - continue - confirm ... printed it off and I'm looking at it - good luck

    I reckon this is a ploy to get people to drop out of the queue so you get bumped! :P

    ... and I tried several times starting back at 1:30 waiting but got through in mins then the procedure as I said - no bull5hit ... if the basket time expires you're wasting your time waiting

    What is the reason for the Pink jersey's and all the promotion of Pink for the Giro.

    I have seen shops and places on route already decked out in pink...

    Just wondering

    Thanks

    Wow, so it seems that the link from the visit-belfast.com main page doesn't actually go to the right place.

    The link from the e-mail works though, as does:
    http://gotobelfast.iristickets.co.uk/en/buy-step-1/989.html

    Ridiculous.

    Thanks for posting that. Having waited nearly 3 hours on the link from the Visit Belfast website, I managed to get my two tickets from the gotobelfast link within 10 minutes.
