getting luas back to Red Cow at that hour a bit dodgey no?

MikeyGorse · 20-06-2012 11:34pm

Not really since id say there will be a lot of people doing the same

maureen1 · 21-06-2012 7:18pm

anyone know if the dart will be going that night?

Getronicle · 21-06-2012 10:44pm

Gates are at 6 pm so would arriving at 4 pm be early enough to get up the front/into pit? Or would it be cutting it short?

jtac · 22-06-2012 1:00am

Stage times etc are here:

http://www.crokepark.ie/events/upcoming-events/red-hot-chilli-peppers#.T-OzlqS5URA.facebook

Red Hot Chilli Peppers play Croke Park on Tuesday 26th June 2012.

The concert starts at 6pm and gates open at 5pm.
No queuing before 4pm.

The running order for the night is:

The Vaccines 18.05-18.50
Noel Gallagher 19.15-20.15
Red Hot Chili Peppers 20.45-22.25

MackQ · 23-06-2012 10:24pm

Does anyone actually know how many tickets have been sold for this gig so far?

MackQ · 23-06-2012 11:01pm

A quick Ticketmaster search shows tickets are still available for Hogan Lower & Upper, Davin Lower and Cusack Lower, but not for Pitch Standing, Davin Upper or Cusack Upper.

My guess is if 85,000 tickets went on sale (as did for Westlife) then about 60,000-70,000 have probably been sold. Should be enough to ensure a great atmosphere!

Hopefully now the rain will stay away...

karaokeman · 24-06-2012 10:49am

Any word on when Noel and the Chilis will be landing in Dublin?

billyhead · 24-06-2012 11:31am

I am not sure.

Junco Partner · 24-06-2012 11:08pm

managed to get two tickets from someone who can no longer go. one drawback of getting them this late is hotels wih availability are few and far between.

i don't really know dublin at all and am bascally just shooting in the dark typing hotels and dublin into google finding plenty but have no real noion of where any of the areas are in relation to croker.
if any dubs could give me a nudge in the right direction of hotels in the croke park area or the heuston station area. twould cut my search time in half

Why not try a hostel id recommend http://www.abbey-court.com/ or http://www.generatorhostels.com/en/dublin/ . Both are near the luas line

TheStook · 25-06-2012 12:41am

Just managed to nab two tickets with a mate of mine, the only problem is our tickets are seated...Just wondering is it possible for us to sneak into standing as I don't know how Croke park is organised and I've done it before at other gigs...Any ideas people?

livingbasshead · 25-06-2012 2:49am

Hey guys, I'm heading to the Chili Peppers concert on Tuesday the 26th. I'm considering queuing up for the day so I can be right in front of the stage and see one of my all time favourite bands in the flesh once again (last time was 2006).

Does anybody know if there is a 'Golden Circle' area, one of those pits in front of the stage where you need a special ticket to be in it, or is it first come first served to get pit passes?? I remember queuing for Bon Jovi a few years ago and we queued all day only to find out we wouldn't be in front of the stage after all that, we were going to be outside the golden circle so we had pissed away an entire day queuing!!

I always find myself being exhausted after a whole day of queuing so I'm wondering if it's worth it or not. All information is appreciated, thanks folks!!!!

PCros · 25-06-2012 8:39am

Just wondering how packed and tight are people on the pitch in Croker? Just concerned as the misses is a few weeks pregnant and don’t want to get knocked into etc.

Is the view decent from nearer the back?

Thanks

The further forward you go the more packed it is. There is plenty of space at the back, you get an OK view, difficult to see people on stage so you end up looking at the monitor, but youd be as well off sitting and being comfy if your going to be that far back.

WeleaseWoderick · 25-06-2012 10:13am

Really looking forward to the gig now. Any suggestions of a good place near the stadium for a pint beforehand?

BARNLINGO · 25-06-2012 11:14am

Whats the story with the 'no queuing before' 4pm? Is the area around closed off till 4 for non-residents, or can you still wait right outside the stadium until then?

Unlikely you'll get onto the pitch - they are very strict about it in Crok Park.

There is a lot of security at concerts in Croke Park more than a football match so I wouldn't attempt it and don't try leave the stadium to get back into the standing because once you leave you will not be allowed to enter regardless of whether you have tickets or you were already in.

Togepi · 25-06-2012 2:59pm

Will they be selling t-shirts and the likes inside or outside the gig? Some gigs at the O2 have people selling merchandise outside before the concert.

Getronicle · 25-06-2012 3:06pm

For anyone wondering if there is a pit, here's a live view of Croke park: http://86.47.217.110/view/viewer_index.shtml?id=503

Most likely, both. The stuff outside is unofficial though. There's a merch booth inside with the official stuff.

Warper · 25-06-2012 4:07pm

Have 2 seating tickets for this. I presume the bars will be open inside Croke Park?

PTH2009 · 25-06-2012 5:19pm

I just bought a premium level cusack stand ticket for the gig and was wondering will they be a merchandise stand up there ???.

Sitting in section 505 in the premium level, bar and restraunt nearby and listening to the chilis.

:D

MrLyoneye · 25-06-2012 5:47pm

First time going to Croke Park tomorrow. Both excited and nervous.

I love being at the front row at Concerts. But is the pit at the front of Croke Park for VIP ticket holders or something? Or is it more of a first come, first serve thing? If the latter, how early should I line up outside before the stadium opens?

Yeah I was thinking it'd be unofficial when it's usually a third of the official price! Thanks.

When you get in there will be Merch stands on the ground level that you come in . Usually there is food places on each level of the stadium

Any idea how early id need to line up to get a pit pass or what time theyd give them out at ?

Do you need a pass to get into the pit? I haven't heard anything about that. MCD said there's no queuing before 4pm.

J DEERE · 25-06-2012 10:44pm

Anyone any idea of what songs Noel will play seeing as its only an hour set? Friends aren't pushed on seeing him as they believe 7 is too early to be heading in, they wont be home from work until 6 or that so might go it alone if it would be worth it

flas · 25-06-2012 10:50pm

pennylemon · 25-06-2012 10:56pm

Hey,
I came on boards tonight just to find the same answer you're looking for. Have a few contacts trying to ask mates in MCD what the story is. Gonna google as much as I can tonight then I'll be ringing Croke Park, mcd and ticketmaster in the a.m. to see if we can get an answer. I'm heavily pregnant and plan on taking up the much needed space at the back of the pit! lol!

Cya then!

Jimmy Iovine · 25-06-2012 10:58pm

Have look in the other thread. There is a pit by the looks of it.

leemurf · 25-06-2012 11:03pm

anybody have any idea what the prices will be for merchandise? I really wanna get a jumper but im not sure how much it will cost

Jury's across the road from Croke Park. It's nice if you can get a seat in the beer garden.

Tshirts are usually around €25 - 30

So hoodies will be around 40 - 50 i'd say

Furious-Red · 26-06-2012 12:18am

There is no Golden Circle for the gig , but i presume their will be a pit as usual for these kinda of gigs . The best bet is to start queing up as early as possible , even though it says no queing up till 4 or whatever still be there before that

cocoshovel · 26-06-2012 12:37am

Am I the only one hoping they dont play otherside?

tired of hearing all the usuals tbh

Out of all the popular songs otherside would be the one least played out them.

I want to hear some BSSM more than anything.

Chilis no different to any other band; official merchandise is rediculously expensive. Unofficial stuff outside will be cheap but is generally kak.

So far they have only played 2-3 songs maybe 4 off the album. Snow isn't included in that, Josh hasn't learned / perfected it yet. (same goes for zephyr song).
