    No you can't bring your own beer.

    Check your ticketmaster account email inbox to see if you selected print off yourself instead of post - that happened me before. Realistically you should have gotten them by now. Check your ticketmaster a/c and if they're not there give them a call straight away.

    On another note, will there be a shuttle bus going from Drogheda?

    I printed them off at the time and just have them on A4 paper. Never did it taht way before but couldn't wait to get my hands on them at the time. I presume there's no difficulty doing it like that as Ticketmaster offered that option but has anyone actually gone to a gig with the printed off tickets before and had a problem?

    Do the Dublin buses get closer into Slane than the coaches?
    And what is it like getting out of Slane on the Dublin Buses?
    Been on rented coaches before to Slane and the hike out of Slane to your coach can be very long depending how far out the road to Dublin your coach is parked.

    Does anyone know of any buses travelling from Carlow to Slane tried the usual suspects either full or not going! There is a group of 13 of us so even if anyone wants to help make up a 24 seater which would work out at about 25.00 euro each

    Just wondering about this also. We are travelling with Dublin Bus and one of the lads coming with us is disabled. Was told today that it's an hours walk back to the bus and I am really hoping this isn't true cos he wouldn't be able to handle it if is that far.

    Keep in mind the bars at the gig usually close around 9 ish. I've camped at slane farm hostel a few times. They have toilet and showering facilities there and there is usually a good buzz going around the campsite.

    If you're camping make sure your tents are water proof. I made the mistake of taking two dunnes ones and got absolutely saturated and had to sleep in the car after the concert.

    Hi Penny,

    i haven't been in Slane for years but from when i did go i do remember having a long walk to the venue and a long walk once inside.

    Either go up really early that day/stay the night before. But the roads will be jammed and most people abandon buses and walk to the venue.

    If anyone can shed more light on this please do. Quite an important issue.

    Buses will park all along the south of the N2 on both sides of the road, your looking at approx 2miles minimum, none of it on the flat (Slane is one big river valley).

    I'll clear this up for you guys, this is what we and everyone else has done for years. There are a couple of official parking locations (fields) near the venue. Park your car/van/campervan, sort your tent and have fun. There are also always a few other 'local' fields used for parking and there is never any bother setting up your tent and camping. Just clean up after yourselves and have a bit of respect for everyone. Arrive good and early so you can relax in your field with your mates and your beer and whatever else (?) before heading into the gig. If the weather is good the walk, only a couple k's, is great craic because everyone is up and ready for the gig.

    Remember, they are not gonna even attempt to clear out packed fields of drunken revellers after a full day event like this unless things have drastically changed. I/we have done this (along with thousands more) for Queen (I was only a young lad), Guns n' Roses, ReM, and the Rolling Stones only 2 years ago.

    So go and enjoy and have some respect for your fellow revellers, no one likes arseh*les.
