    There was at least 200 at 1pm. There are scheduled roll calls so most only turn back up when they have to. The 15-20 are prob waiting to get a number at the next roll call. Over 250 I would say already.

    What are the chances of getting into the pit when gates open at 5pm tomorrow? Probably zero?!

    The gates will be open well before 5 ,they never open them at the advertised time.
    I'd expect them to be open at 4pm.

    5pm should get you into the pit .

    No prob good chance just to back of pit rather than front. Any later than that and I doubt it. More ppl queuing for pit passes in cork than in Limerick.

    I'd say 4.30 should be ample time .
    Its a weekday,people have work so alot wont be able to make it before 5.
    Over half the people yesterday with wristbands didnt queue according to reports on here ,they walked in when the gates were opened.

    I plan to be there around 4.45 ,get a wristband and then wander around/sit down until 6.30 when I will take up my position.

    And do you just ask for a wristband then before you head in or what? I'm not sure of the whole "procedure" lol :D

    If you have a GA ticket are are there on time you will see them being handed out. The ppl queuing now and doing roll calls are ppl who want to be the first few hundred into the stadium to get near / beside the stage

    Oh now that is funny.
    A 64 year old man who plays folk rock has a mosh pit at his gigs!!!:D:D:D
    I'd say it'll be lethal in there:eek::eek:

    Ooooh, he might pull a pretty girl out of the crowd and dance with her on stage - and said girl will have a huge show biz career!!
    Maybe that explains the queue.

    Going with two friends tomorrow but one of them won't be able to make til 6.30 or later whereas we plan on going down early. What's the story with pit passes? I assume it's one per person making it pointless for us to queue if we want to join our friend later?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,262 ✭✭✭✭GavRedKing


    Well I just passed what I assume is the main entrance on the back of Monaghan road and there is people queing up already, there was a handful of tents there as well but if I had to guess at the amount down there I'd say about 30.

    Going to be a nightmare getting back to work after lunch about 1ish, enjoy ye're gig people. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,322 ✭✭✭✭leahyl


    Is the main entrance on the Monaghan road so? I'm meant to be meeting my friends near the marina entrance later so I assume that's the wrong place if we want to try get pit passes?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,262 ✭✭✭✭GavRedKing


    Well my work is on the back road so I went past it and there was barriers up and people behind them so I'm asssuming it is where they will be handing out the passes.

    If you know the area its the back gate where they usually have the enterance for Funderland, its about 500 metres past where the marquee enterance is.

    'll be passing again about 12 ish so I'll let ye know whats the situation, I assume it will be fairly busy at that stage.

    Thanks a million :-) I just sort of assumed that it would be at the marina entrance - tbh didn't even know there was an entrance on the other side....! Shows how much I know!

    The later you leave the less likely you are to get pit passes IMO.

    There is Gardai out on some of the barriers on the road around the area, not stopping any cars yet but I imagine later on, closer to the gig they'll be trying stop as much traffic as possible going down the Monaghan road.

    Also there could be an entrance on the Marina side, but from my window I can see the back of the stage and just outside the stadium but inside the back enterance, there is a couple of colourful flags which look like the lead into the stadium from enterance on the back of Monaghan road.

    Its easy to get to from the city centre or even Ballintemple.

    This is where the enterance is and where people are curerntly in a que, there is event staff on the door here in hig-vis vests also so its a promising sign.

    Thanks a mil! I'm gonna chance it at around 4.30 and sure you never know - its not the end of the world if we don't get pit passes but it would be a nice bonus!

    We will be walking from around the bridge near the clarion I'd say cos the road down by the idle hour will prob be closed??

    Yeah I know but I'm getting a lift into town so may as well just walk from a certain point - will get as close to centre park road as possible and then walk


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,262 ✭✭✭✭GavRedKing


    Wont be 80k anyway, I'd say 50k at most.

    Oasis and M.Jackson was about 50-55k all those years ago and given Bruce is playing just about every county in ireland I cant see that much turning up.
