I was over there for the Wembley show last friday.
Paid £85 for a premium club wembley ticket (which i thought was great value).
The hotel was 240 euro for the weekend inc breakfast which was right beside hyde park close to lancastor gate tube station.
Flights were 68 euro each so all in all it worked out quite reasonable.

Would love to go to cardiff this weekend but i've left it too late for accomodation.The place is booked out.

Yep hitting Cardiff for the weekend, fly to Bristol aswell tomorrow night and getting the train from Temple Meads to Cardiff Central. Flights with Aer Arann were ridiculously expensive.

Should be a savage gig, it being the last European gig.

Saw them in glasgow on tuesday. They were fab ( as always!!) ,a few sound issues and wasn't impressed with the booing. Croker's atmosphere was a lot better.....

saw the second wembley show, the concert was so much louder than in Dublin and I was much further away this time. took a while to get going but was very good, cant wait to see the show again in New York next month!
