AC/DC - July 1st - Aviva Stadium

lambayire · 12-12-2014 9:04am #1

Just announced on Today FM.

I am guessing that this one might just sell out.

RayCon · 12-12-2014 9:11am

Let the madness begin !

Professey Chin · 12-12-2014 9:12am

I just want one week without having to buy tickets for something!

Professey Chin · 12-12-2014 9:45am

Arse....

dobman88 · 12-12-2014 9:50am

Foo Fighters, ZZ Top and now the best band in history!! This is going to be a summer to remember!

That's ok. I didn't want to eat next week or the week after anyway.

corm500 · 12-12-2014 10:15am

Is it just me who thinks €100 for an outdoors standing ticket is a bit on the steep side?

Not just you. Rip off.

deadybai · 12-12-2014 10:33am

Feck sake 100 quid for one ticket a few days before Christmas? I hope Santa is generous to me.

If the gig does sell out next week, what would your chances be to get a ticket between Jan and July?

Always_Running · 12-12-2014 10:46am

A bit pricey alright was €76.50 for the last Irish gig they had in 2009. Might be their last Irish gig and few better bands live so count me in.

lee_baby_simms · 12-12-2014 10:47am

Too old and too expensive.

arybvtcw0eolkf · 12-12-2014 10:48am

Seen them in the RDS Oct 22nd 1982

But at a starting price of €87:50 they can ram this gig up their arses ~ thats WAY too expensive.

Probably cost about £10 back then

I think I got the tickets and hash (when you could buy a 'five-spot') for £15 punts

Officer999 · 12-12-2014 11:21am

Dissappointed with the venue choice. Was hoping they would play Slane

deadybai · 12-12-2014 11:31am

How many does the Aviva hold for a gig?

Depending on production layout on the pitch, it can usually hold anywhere between 50,000 and 55,000.

The only reason I think they might have chosen the Aviva is that they could possibly multiple nights. Slane was meant for bands like AC/DC, kind of a shame they ain't playing there.
Based on the ticket price it's safe to say AC/DC couldn't really give a crap about the venue as long as they make as much money as possible.

Its a pitty they wont play Slane

Madness.

Slane should be retired as a venue. The Aviva is perfect for this.

deadybai · 12-12-2014 11:54am

Missed the gig in 2009 because of my leaving cert and probably going to miss this one now because times are tough. Hopefully they will come back when their in their 80's :pac:

MagicMarker · 12-12-2014 11:54am

No it's not, Slane is ****e. Leave it to the likes of Hozier and the Kaiser Chiefs.

NIMAN · 12-12-2014 11:56am

You can say all you want about ticket prices being too high, but this will sell on in a few minutes, guaranteed.

charlietheminxx · 12-12-2014 11:56am

I hate short notice gig ticket sales like this, feck sake "here's a gig, it's going to sell out, you have 5 days to come up with a spare €100 the week before Xmas! Woohoo!".

Luckily my mam is also a fan and said she'd get me a ticket when she's buying hers, to be repaid in January when I am broke and miserable anyway!

One of these months it might cut down on admin if I just get my wages paid directly to ticketmaster and sort out all my gigs and fests for next summer :P

poundhound · 12-12-2014 1:04pm

@ Charlietheminxx.

Did you just say your Mammy is going to buy you an AC/DC ticket?

charlietheminxx · 12-12-2014 1:06pm

I most certainly did... What's wrong with that?

£8.50. You'd get 20 fags from the change.

No. It won't. Be plenty of tickets left over right up until July for this!

eviltwin · 12-12-2014 1:24pm

I'd just about suffer paying the money because my husband is a fan, he's never seen them live. Are they worth the money? I don't mind paying for a really good show but don't want to do so if they just go through the motions.

As much as I hope your right, i doubt it. AC/Dc hardly ever play in Ireland. They are probably even bigger now than they were back in 09

Was in the pit for them in 2009 and they are worth the money.

Furious-Red · 12-12-2014 1:30pm

Gonna have to ask Santa for a ticket , Already broke the bank with Fleetwood Mac and Slane tickets.Plus rent and still need to get presents sorted

nxbyveromdwjpg · 12-12-2014 1:30pm

Did they sell out Punchestown in 2009? What's the capacity of gigs, there 70k?

I am tempted but could do without spending it right now

70k officially but it looked like more.

The Pheasant2 · 12-12-2014 1:40pm

Feck sake! My favourite band, never seen 'em live - I'll be on J1 for this

Did it sell out though or rather, sell out quick? Google isn't really tell me, only that the o2 gig sold out quick.

The Aviva must be around 60k capacity so not far off.

last two Irish gigs were gone in no time....the o2 in seconds which built up sales for punchestown.

for a big gig like this, there'll be spare tickets floating around on Toutless in the run up to it....

dobman88 · 12-12-2014 2:13pm

It's on a Wednesday too. Might put a few off. But if it does sell out it leaves room for a second date maybe? London could definitely get a second date for the Sunday.

stitcheddepin · 12-12-2014 2:20pm

you're kidding yourselves if you don't think this will sell out in a day.
hopefully they announce another one also, although they are fairly old and frail.
total rip off price, extortion, but il pay it as they are sure to be gig of the year, better than poo fighters any day.

griffin100 · 12-12-2014 2:23pm

Last time out the O2 sold out in minutes, Punchestown still had tickets on sale close to the date. I think this one will sell out quick, maybe if it does they'll put on a second one. I'll be bringing my 9 year old son to this, it'll be his last chance to see them and he loves them.

I seen them in 1991,1996 and at both Irish gigs in 2009. I was in the pit at Punchestown. Every gig was amazing but the O2 in 2009 was probably the best..........no wait the 96 gig when Angus appeared beside me in the crowd on that raised platform he uses and I was so close his sweat fell on me was the best......no it was Punchestown in the rain which was epic.......fcuk it they were all great gigs! Jesus I'm so excited, I feel like Elf in the movie when he finds out Santa is coming to the store

Took a good while to sell out punchestown. I remember as I had queued early in the morning for them and was annoyed that I had put in the effort for nothing

Bummer1234 · 12-12-2014 3:01pm

Im sorry lads but if you spend €87.50 to stand in the aviva for a few hours...Ya need your head examined...Im a fan but jabus christ!!

deadybai · 12-12-2014 3:06pm

How long did they play for back in 09? Hopefully 3-4 hours like The Boss.

About 2 hours off the top of my head.

They better have decent support this time.
