niceirishfella

Remove the "without sat nav." in your post and we'd already have enough of a challenge.

Hey all, been a while since i have left a reply on boards, Top Gear is inFact coming to Dublin it will be Held in the RDS but will be more of a live show performance rather than a recording of a show, Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond will both be there, However as of yet James May will not be there, But the STIG will be!!!

There will be a live performance which is a seated event and there will be a car meuseum with most of the greatest SuperCars including Maserati and Ferrari.....

Tickets are not on sale as of yet but will be released soon at a price of €75 which includes a ticket for the show and the Meuseum.

However for €200 you can buy a corporate ticket, this gives you corporate seating at the event, A meal, free bar in the corporate tent and a Free reserved Cap Spot in the RDS(which is a scam as you wont be driving if its a free bar!)

Hope this helps!

niceirishfella

Great........i'll be there

Plug

will it be on the box?

niceirishfella

NO, this is like one of the shows you see advertised in TG magazine in earls court london or the like.

DMC

This won't be flagged on the TV show, so you would have to keep an eye on the magazine or www.topgear.com

mike65

Pity that they didn't take the chance to do some work for the show.

Mike.

James May was spotted by several ppl in the Trinity Arts block just last week, have no ideas what he was doing though

niceirishfella

Doing stuff for one of his other shows i'd say.

It certainly does. Sounds like that would be worth the €200. Thanks for the heads-up. If anyone hears when the tickets are going up I'd be grateful for the info.

Hi all,

Just had a look at the RDS site... http://www.rds.ie/home/eventfinder.aspx?eid=2726

Looks like there could be three nights - 27th-30th of November

*Tripper*

This wouldn't interest me at all tbh, a load of funking muppets standing round some exotics thinking they know everything about them without ever having driven or even been in one. And then you've to watch Clarkson or Hammond do some stupid task with a few fireworks or explosions, meh.

BJC

Yeah, I do love TopGear, but I think I'll leave it on the box... not that Id say no to a corporate ticket, be a good day out!

oasisfan

Got my corporate tickets there is a minimum booking of 10 and they are €195 + Vat but as of monday they go up to €275+ Vat!

to order tickets contact brand events

niceirishfella

Did you buy 10?
These will be hot tickets regardless of the previous posts......look at the crowds that go to the Toys for Big boys SHOITTE - hot hot hot i say.

AndyP

They have already done a challenge here, any of the experts care to remind us what it was?

*Tripper*

Mazda MX5 vs a Greyhound.

Hmmmm, "Rough Trade" isn't just a record label you know.

jeez--louise

Can anyone tell me where to buy the corporate tickets for top gear in the RDS and if they are on sale yet?

You can e mail someone at www.brandevents.ie I was told corporate tickets are 255 each with a min of booking 6. Perhaps they get cheaper as you go up. Also it says there will be a free bar and a free pre show drink and free after show drink, nothing about an open bar. I don't think the regular tickets are going on sale until September.

Kace

I heard that tickets won't be available for this until September.

Hi Guys,

Ok so top gear is coming to Dublin from the 27th-30th of November.

Corporate tickets are on sale now these are the ' expensive ones' everyone is talking about.

General tickets will be on sale in September and if you want to recieve an alert before they are released email topgearlive@brandevents.ie

The show is gonna be amazing and it sure beats an 18 and a half year wait list for the BBC recording!

carcrazy2

spartacus93

Does anyone know anything else about this

carcrazy2

SuperSean11

And when it comes to Dublin -- the first stop outside Britain -- the cheapest tickets will be €75 for what will be a 75-minute show. Organisers are putting on 10 Dublin shows, and expect to sell about 30,000 tickets.

Even Brown Thomas is getting its hands dirty by sponsoring the event.

At a press conference beside Tower Bridge in London yesterday, Clarkson -- along with fellow hosts Richard Hammond and James May -- gave a rough outline of a show incorporating many favourites from the television version, including the Cool Wall and the fastest lap, adapted for audience participation, appearances by the Stig and the trio's attempts to build their own hovercrafts.

And explosions. And 300 fast cars. And 30 stuntmen. And a fire-spewing monster.

"It's some kind of enormous spectacle," Clarkson summed up, rather unconvincingly.

So what can audiences at the RDS expect?

"Just what we just said," he replied sharply, perhaps a little cold from his jaunt across the bridge. "Everything we haven't broken in London will be there."

Mike.

superfly

so when do the tickets go on sale?

Lucifer

Looking here it says the 10th september at 9am.

xbox36016

Popinjay

The Brown Thomas special tickets went on sale this morning Right Here!

€100 each and a booking fee of €5.50 (At least it was €11 for my two tickets).

First 2000 of the Brown Thomas ones apparently includes a €50 voucher for BT but it didn't mention anything on the site.
