    Edit: Also just because people check out is no accounting for how they behave when intoxicated nor does it mean that someone guilty of a minor crime will automatically be trouble at an event , it's not a fool proof system.

    Didn't they have to submit a photo too that was printed on the ticket? I'm going to search for that because I may not be recalling those details correctly, there were other reasons for application and the checks and some cases over the top but what other alternatives are we being left with I'm asking myself.

    Yeah a photograph had to be supplied too which is printed on the ticket.

    Last week for the BBC Hackney weekend, everyone was put through airport style security (metal detector tests, bag checks etc etc). For other festivals across the UK you see similar sorts of security checks. For Glastonbury, everyone has to apply for tickets and I believe background checks are also done before tickets are issued.

    Theres no background checks that I know of but you do have to pre-register with a photo for your ticket (better get around to that for next years actually).
    Glastonbury is a bit of an oddity though. No restrictions on drink as long as its not in glass bottles. But theres pretty much zero trouble there. There was people drunk but very few anyway irritating. Everyone just wanted to enjoy themselves. Old people, young people, kids. Didnt matter.

    I know it's not fool proof but if when people apply for tickets they have to supply a photograph and personal details so the authorities can do background checks on known thugs, criminals and then when ticket holders enter the event they are put through airport style security I think we would be on the right track.

    If they can do it for a massive events like the BBC Hackney weekend, they can do it for gigs in Dublin.

    just back home from gig
    was mental.. first thing i saw when got into the area was a guy punch a girl full force in the face.. luckily there was security close by and he got floored but it kinda set up how the evenin was goin to go
    was just scumbags everywhere- really drunk scumbags

    hopefully those who got stabbed have a speedy recovery

    i did still enjoy the music (laser show with SHM was amazing) and had good night regardless of the mayhem around

    aye
    been to countless metal concerts and this was just.. strange.. such a contrast to how a day of music should be
    was almost like the sun brought out the worst in people


  • Registered Users Posts: 388 ✭✭sockmo


    I got stuck on a train into town with these pigs going into the gig..it was only about 2:30 and they were all hammered and drinking more. girls and boys. they were being quite abusive and there were kids with their parents on the train. it was sickening.

    Then later at about 4 I was having a quiet pint in o riellys when about 6 girls and 2 guys casually walked into the pub while drinking cans,shouting,screaming,being loud and obnoxious (all dressed the same exept for one girl who was wearing close to nothing).... they all went to the toilets at the same time id imagine there was some drug use going on, they were kicked out soon after.

    it was like every skanger in the country was let loose for the day..not surprised there were people stabbed.Its a disgrace

  • Registered Users Posts: 2 MissTBear


    I had hoped for a weekend of rest and relaxation but I couldn't get any peace in my own house because of the noise pollution coming from Phoenix Park - I live in Bluebell and it sounded like the concert was in my back garden. That can't be allowed to happen again! :mad:

    I hate generalisations but lets not be overly PC about this, the root of the trouble lies with us as a society and our relationship with alcohol and has nothing who/where people come from, more a discussion for another thread I think but as a society we need to look at these issues and or stop tolerating them which to a large extent is happening and in some ways a worse thing I feel.

    Disagree - well, mostly. The trouble here is as much down to where people come from as it is their 'relationship' with alcohol/drugs - most people can handle a drink, and most people can get drunk without resorting to violence, whether or not you apporove of them being drunk in the first place. Generalisations are not always wrong - for example, you tend to get a certain demographic at a Rugby match, and you tend to get a certain demographic at a commercial dance gig. It's not snobbery, or anything else, it's just a fact.

    Anyone who doesn't think that we have an issue with anti-social behaviour (particularly in Dublin) is deluded, and anyone who doesn't think that the majority of this trouble occurs within the bottom end of the so-called 'classes', is as much deluded.

    It's just a fact, the most marginalised of society (be it fairly or unfairly) tend to always have an axe to grind, and this is always exageratted when drink and drugs get added to the mix

    But putting the blame on alcohol solely is missing the point - yes, drink gets people drunk - but the problem always starts with the person.

    People going around starting fights, stabbing people and thrashing the place do not deserve excuses, and by giving them the 'drink made me do it' get out of jail card, we'll never fix this problem.

    OPW are in charge of the park. They gave the go ahead for the gigs etc. (for a few shekels though) so there'd be a good place to start

    "that act" have broken up, so they probably won't be back.

    Tbh, there was always, always going to be trouble at a gig like this, look in the past - big dance acts playing to big crowds here and there's always trouble.

    Short of hiring a huge amount of security, which wouldn't make economical sense, I dont see what else the promoter could have done. I don't blame MCD at all really. They had more then the minimum number of external security required for the event. At a gig this size, if people want to cause trouble then they can, there is realistic way of stopping them.

    Irish crowds are just genernally awful.

    "Short of hiring a huge amount of security, which wouldn't make economical sense, I dont see what else the promoter could have done", what a stupid comment, if the promoter cant hire enough security for an event like this then the event shouldnt have taken place!

    can't believe people thought it was too noisy.

    I would wager that I live closer to the gig than most. I was at the Roses but I was at home for the other gigs, yes I could hear it but it wasn't bad.

    It's a once off - don't we want these big events in Dublin

    I'd imagine it was down to the direction of the wind. I couldn't think straight the noise was that bad at times - I could hear every word. It would be no loss to not have these big events in Dublin if it means noise, anti social behaviour etc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Was at the gig myself and only heard about the trouble today.

    I had actually commented to a few people on how 99% of the people I had spoken to up there were just there to enjoy it and have a laugh, so was very surprised to hear about the stabbings and death(s). From my own experience it was one of the quietest gigs with regards to trouble that I've been at in a long time.

    The organisation was very poor though. The queue to get in was basically pushing and barging for 30 minutes +. It also would have been very easy for anyone who didn't have a ticket to get in. I don't really know much about these things and I'm not from the area, but surely the organisers could have found a better and more effective way to get people in? Also, the search was basically none existent. Not the fault of the staff I suppose as they were mostly trying to avoid being knocked down by the stampede trying to get in, but those that were searched were barely touched and there were plenty of people not searched at all. It would have been very easy to bring knives etc in.

    Overall I really enjoyed it and didn't see any trouble at all.

    California Girls
    Sensual Seduction
    Beautiful
    Jump Around
    Drop It Like It's Hot

    We cannot shut up shop over a few bad eggs... again I can only speak of the night I was there (Stone Roses) and it was a great night.

    Of course we must have these events in Dublin, where are we supposed to have them??

    Take you points on the wind - there was nothing between my place and stage other than a few trees... Now I wouldnt want that going on every weekend but it's a once off some people need to lighten up

    I would complain about the noise/stabbings/boorish behaviour to the OPW or whatever, but then I'd just be shooting (or stabbing) myself in the foot when it came to gigs I want to go to. Saw the Pixies there and it was great, wouldn't want to spoil possible future gigs by whinging about this one.

    same knackery pop-dance music, so i'd guess there'll be a very similar crowd.

    I went on saturday - Brought my 18 yr old sister as her friend let her down. Ive been to a good few gigs and festivals - mainly European ones but Fcking hell I've actually never seen anything so bad in all the gigs i've been to. Think I seen like 2 guards within the grounds, only security I seen was standing at the gates and at the bar - Protect the profits right MCD.

    Just walking into the park on Sat afternoon you could tell it was gonna be messy, 2 lads absolutely smashed laying out on the ground - just past the first roundabout with 2 guards just standing there looking at them - I kid you not. It just got worse as we moved towards the gig. When we got in at 5pm, she mainly wanted to see Tinnie Tempah and SHM.
    Within about 2 mins of us walking past security, there was a fight of bout 8 fellas. Managed to get a drink and move up the crowd but it just got more & more bad. Scary would be the best word to use. We walked out just as SHM were starting, my sis was actually terrified and wanted to leave.

    It was my lil sisters first festival type ish event and she was looking forward to it and now she's told me that she won't be bothering going to anything like that. I'm just glad it was me with her and not her friend (who wouldnt be the most streetsmart girl).

    I just hope now that all the scum steer clear of Electric picnic.. Am really looking forward to that!..

    Really? Were you at the gig? Al the reports are saying that security was lax. The video of the lads bating the sh1te out of each would suggest that there wasn't enough security.

    That's a sad tale indeed.

    I think Oxegen would have been swamped with d**kheads again if it had taken place this year, the Phoenix Park gigs were the next best thing and they all descended on them it seems. I don't know what the answer is or why we get so many unsavoury incidents happening.

    For all those saying how different the Roses gig was, it was an older crowd granted but I still saw some very messy people and incidents on the way to the gig, let alone inside it.

    It's all already been said about the organisation problems so I'm not going to go back over what's been well documented.
    One thing which really annoyed me though perhaps a trivial matter to some but there wasn't nearly enough rubbish bins provided from parkgate street up. Then again when you have people who are only too willing to throw their empty cans and bottles over their shoulders literally anywhere then maybe an abundance of bins wouldn't make any difference, that's one thing we seem to certainly excel at, making a disgraceful mess whenever there's a big event. The park must be in some state after it.:mad:

    That's not actually true though mate, is it? I live off NCR between Drumcondra and Summerhill, closer to the Summerhill end of it. Like it or not, there's a huge difference in the amount of antisocial behaviour in the space of less then a kilometere. Twice I've been hopped on in Summerhill by scumbags in their teens trying to grab my iphone when I've been texting, there'a illegal dumping of rubbish bags everywhere, there's far more knacker drinking and far more kids hanging around looking for trouble. There's nowhere near the same amount of that carry on when you get past the Hogan Stand end of Croke Park and over the canal. Don't get me wrong, there's a huge amount of decent folk live around the area as well but it's plain wrong to say that there isn't a larger element of trouble makers in and around inner city or what would be considered rougher areas, you can blame societal issues but that doesn't change the facts.

    As soon as that line up was announced I knew that gig was be trouble, never expected it to be as bad as it turned out though, Joe Duffy will be rubbing his hands, there was people giving out about the Rosees on his show in Friday despite ther being zero arrests so he'll have a field day today.

    Yeah even the difference at yesterdays gig, much better atmosphere and as for the litter, i definately agree but it is sorta of down to the crowd - Place was destroyed on saturday and on sunday it wasnt bad at all. Walked by a big bin and most people i seen walking by it had something to throw in rather then dropping it on the ground.
    Can stand people that do that just cos they can at a gig!:mad:

    Not a trivial matter at all. Had the same conversation with a mate. Disgraceful really. I don't really blame the punters as there weren't adequate bins provided.

    Having been to Glastonbury a number of times and having seen how it can work, its very poor on the organisers part. Such an easy thing to do. Helps with the atmosphere of the crowd too. Togetherness, sense of responsibility etc. Sounds like hippy bull**** but its true.

    If they are whats responsible for at least one and as many as the unconfirmed three overdose deaths, then the name is fairly self-explanatory

    Yeah this is true, just wondering if they were like a form of Ectasy. - Dangerous all the same!.. dont think any sorta 'Buzz' is worth the risk of dying.

    Really? Were you at the gig? Al the reports are saying that security was lax. The video of the lads bating the sh1te out of each would suggest that there wasn't enough security.

    I wouldnt go so far to say security was lax, at one point there was over 250 people without tickets trying to jump the fence, security had to handle that, and everywhere I looked there was Gards and security

    And you worked at this one?

    When you say that "security was tight as can be, large security presence" I take you mean compared to what's required by law rather than what would've been actually needed for a gig that was inevitably going to attract a certain type.
