    I'm really looking forward to this, so yea I'm going :D

    I'd hate NOT to be going, sooo who's stuck with not going and who's going to rub their noses in it on the 18th ;)

    I haven't checked my tickets, but will there be a problem with bringing a camera into the venue?.

    Has anyone been to the new O2 arena, whats it like - ie a half decent bar and better toilets than the old Point Depot?.

    Cant wait for it.

    Does anyone know if you'll be allowed to av a beer during the event in your seat?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,084 ✭✭✭hunter164


    I'm going.

    I know that they were allowed bring beer back to your seats during concerts.

    Bottle a coke was 3 euro :O

    And I've brought my camera both times I've been.

    I was in it the other night. Just about everything is a big improvement, including the bar and bog facilities. I reckon the view will be pretty good with most people looking right down into the cage. Can't wait!

    On ticket master it says door open at 5.30 and the o2 is a savage stadium.
    Bars and snack shops line the whole outer ring on each floor.Saw Coldplay there and the set up is amazing.Whereever you sit youll have a great view and yea you can bring booze back to your seat.Prob not a good idea,i was in the middle of a row and i must have ruined about 20 peoples nights jumping up every 10 mins for trip to the gents or to get another beer.


    Apologies to those people


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,871 ✭✭✭Karmafaerie


    I was going to be there, but something else came up, and I couldn't make it.
    Oh well.



    Oh, I might as well point out that that "something" is me heading off to Vegas two weeks later to see GSP vs BJ Penn in the MGM Grand, with floor tickets!!!:D:D:D


    I think I'll survive.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,803 ✭✭✭dunkamania

    I'd have loved to have gone to 93, but it's the same weekend as my birthday, and some friends have a party organised.
    Plus I'm a bit short on cash with the whole Vegas trip.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭unknown13


    Doors open at 4.30
    First fight starts at 5.30

    Thats what it said on my ticket


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,729 ✭✭✭Pride Fighter


    I'm going:), it should be fun. I'll sneak in my own grub, no way am I paying 60 euro for a hotdog.

    I was just asking if its being shown, No competition is the worst thing possible for the UFC. Also I've never seen Fedor just heard about him.

    I keep forgetting to check my tickets, and I can't tonight as I'm in work.

    But I'm hearing all sorts of rumours as to what time the O2's door open.

    Has anyone got a definitive answer?.
