    Anyone else still waiting for tickets to arrive? I've been trying to ring customer service all day and I'm being put on hold for half an hour at a time which is a disaster! I'm worried at this stage when I see people receiving theirs since April! I bought mine in the presale!
    Does anyone else know of any other numbers besides the given 0818 903 001

    I got mine this morning, only ordered last week off ticketmaster. Was going to call them later on if they werent here today as I got email from them yesterday with concert info and to contact them if tickets not there yet.

    Worst comes to worse they will cancel the tickets issued and have you collect reissued ones at the box office at the concert.

    Been waiting ages to see We Are Augustines come to Dublin, kinda surprised to see them on this bill. Nice added bonus.

    MCD saying HWGM are on at 15.15.

    They had the times wrong for Stone Roses, and had Original Rudeboys being on first on the Saturday. Can't see these being legit.

    Booked to stay in Cassidy's hotel Parnell Square...didn't realise the concert will be over so late & that public transport finishes around 11/11.30!!

    Any advice on how to get back to the hotel after the concert? Not that familiar with Dublin at all!

    Walk to either Heuston Station or The Museum stop and get on the luas and get off at either Jervis or Abbey St and walk to your hotel

    Check the 120 bus times. It goes from ashtown to Parnell, max 20min walk from the concert if u go out ashtown gate. Or u can take the train back to Connolly station from there either

    Could you bring a bag to change and put your wellies in?

    Not sure The Academy would be thrilled to see people show up with muddy wellies on haha.

    Thanks! Was looking at the timetable there though and last bus is at 11.30! I would imagine the concert won't finish to 11, surely that service won't be able to cope with that demand? Worried about getting stranded after it now! Think the Luas stops at 11ish aswell?

    I you're staying in town just get a taxi. Especially if there's a few of you going. The maximum it'll be is about 30 quid.

    I've often brought digital camera to gigs and never had them taken off me or refused entry.

    With the advances with mobile phones they can't really police the no camera rules anyway,sure just look at how many hands will be up in the air recording throughout the gig.

    Just noticed on the Luas website there aswell that Heuston Stop will be closed after the concert, you have to go to Museum stop.

    Doyou think there will be many available? Sorry to be so clueless but is there any particular place you should go after leaving the concert to get one?

    I'm sure they'll all be queueing (not sure how to spell that :L) outside gagging for the fare :L
    alternatively you could just order one: 8202020 will probably be your best bet :)

    with regards photo equipment they really don't care unless its a professional looking one, or a video camera.

    you can't really get much for a crappy recording or some blurred pics

    I emailed The Academy about wearing wellies for the afterparty and the girl who replied back said there would be no problem at all getting in with them. Phew!

    Usually doesn't finish until 12, the fact there's a concert on too will probably mean they'll put extra trams on. Hopefully anyway.

    There are shuttle buses put on for gigs, was on an email or something that i got
    Concert Shuttle Bus
    A shuttle bus service will operate for all concerts from Custom House Quay in the City Centre direct to the Phoenix Park. The shuttle bus services will start one hour before Gates Open time each day and depart immediately after each concert. Cost is E7 return up to 24 hours in advance of each concert from http://www.bushiredublin.net/ or E5 single and E9 return on the day.

    Your best bet is to get a Bus Eireann bus to Dublin and then get a Luas to Heuston station and walk from there to the gig :)

    try your local music store they might run a bus but other than that it'll be bus eireann/other and you rely on their times not the gig ones

    If you guys are relying on public transport, try these fellas: http://irishconcerttravel.ie/
    They've saved my life here, was terrified that the public transport would be closed because it's a Sunday!
    Fairly cheap as well. (I'm not giving them a promo or anything, I'm sure there are more out there, it's just the ones that I know.)

    I see that tickets are available for the after party. Is it essential to have a ticket or can you buy in at the door?

    Does anyone have any idea on the best way to get to Galway/Mayo/Roscommon after the gig? Are there buses from the gig to Galway or anything like there sometimes are for gigs at the 02?

    Or, what's the best way to get into town so I can work out a bus or something from there?
