    Good post. One minor point however. I couldn't see the Marlay Park gigs affecting ticket sales for RHCP too much if they are run on the basis of the indoor format of this year. I believe the capacity for this year's gigs to have been only 5,000.

    MCD must really care about this gig with the lack of announcements regarding Coldplay, Slane, Oxegen etc.

    Demand was expected to be high for the Chili's seen as how they were away for years and were planning a huge comeback.

    But I agree the O2 attracted most of the diehards who simply don't have the money.

    You need to remember too its in Croke Park and no one would want to sit for the RHCP, really.

    I think people saying that it is too far away are right.

    I would buy tickets to this in a heart beat but i'm not really sure what i will be doing in June next year.

    It will sell-out closer to the time i would say.

    Just bought my ticket today:p.

    I couldn't resist the temptation considering it rarely takes so long for such massive gigs to sell out standing tickets.

    Hopefully the support will be Nickelback or Kaiser Chiefs.

    Would Nickelback suit the Chilis? Id say KC are a good bet

    I loved the gig at the o2 with the chilies. My belief that this gig isn't selling out is due to it being in Croke Park. I remember going to see u2 there and it was horrible (not the band but just too far away from the stage and really terrible sound, I ended up watching the gig on the big screens). Would not go to a gig there again.

    Thats fantastic, I'm also going to see Noel Gallagher at the O2.

    Now if Noel plays Oxegen that will be three times I'm seeing him live next year, can't wait:D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    They were on Jools Holland together a few weeks back. This weird alliance must have been mooted then.

    It's a masterstroke to be honest. Both acts have huge support...guaranteed sell out now.

    I was at the Chilis in the Point and was definitely not going to Croker, too expensive.
    Saw Noel too in the Olympia and going again in Feb and if Im back from Poland before the 26th June I'll definitely go to this now.

    Wasnt going to bother going to this as I saw them in the O2 but with Noel supporting them the €75 standing doesn't seem so expensive now.:D

    Doubt there will be another support.

    I reckon MCD booked Noel for a reason, maybe to combat the sluggish ticket sales.

    Agree the gig will probably sell out now that we can get bits of Noel and the Chilis in one night, but I'm glad I bought my ticket now after all:cool:.

    Yeah, Noel should be holding off and playing the ultimate LAD Slane gig next year with The Stone Roses, Beady Eye, The Coral and some other such band!

    Bit of a surprise to hear he is playing with the Chili's but I don't think I will bother getting a ticket for it. I'm not a big enough fan of the Chili's to go watch them live.

    Saw Noel at the Olympia and going to see him at the O2 also.

    Delighted with this news, Im a massive Chili Peppers and Oasis fan :D:D Didnt have the money for Noels gigs in the 02 and for the Chilis at Croke Park so it was one or the other, but now I get to see both :cool:
