Greenday Concert

GirlatdRockShow

Any one have any ideas what time I need to start queueing at? Never been at the "O2"(it's the point!)before and i don't want to be up at the front moshing with the mad rockers,I'm only a wee girl! Somewhere in the middle of the ground floor will do just fine.

candy-gal1

the point was a great venue alright, used to go there in my teen years, the 02 is meant to be great and much bigger, havent been yet though hope to be going with the OH soon
iv never had to start queueing early myself, unless you want to be right up the front, but if you get there even an hour or less beforehand youll still get quite near the front so you can see perfectly!

We're standing and also don't wanna be right at the front so will prob stay in Fibbers till 7.30 then grab a cab, They won't be onstage till 8.45 and i can't be arsed with the support band, Prima Donna, never heard of them

Driver 8

I'd say earlier than 8.45, with the curfew being 11, maybe closer to 8.30

They are playin 2hr 30min sets on the american leg of the tour

I was on a Green Day message board just to see what the setlists have been like, and it's full of people saying they'll be queueing from god knows when to get "in the pit". Am I right in thinking there isn't one in the O2?

allanb49

I've been to judas priest and def leppard theres been no pit or barrier at either of them

oldsmiley

I work there and I can tell you there is no pit area.You don't need to get there extra early because of the shape of the building you have a perfect view from anywhere and you won't be crushed

Gigs usually start at 9 but I'm sure I read somewhere Green Day were due on stage at 8 which I thought was unusual. Any idea Oldsmiley?

whiterob81

I'd imagine they're startin quite early. It says on the ticket doors are open 6.30. Plus from seeing the american setlists, it seems like they're playing fairly long sets.

lookin forward to it now

I didn't know there was a curfew. It was after 11 when Def Leppard was over (I think).

GirlatdRockShow

Ok I'm kinda freaking out,nit out of college untill after 5,have to eat,get ready,hope they are not on untill about 8,30 coz I won't be able to get there that early!

o2 says there will be inner pit for the gig, someone who works at the o2 said theres not going to be one.

Who to belive!?

Never been an "inner pit" for any gig I've been to at The O2 and I've been to a few!

lunacyfoundme

Any decent pubs in the vicinity of the O2. Ill be looking to watch the United game before the Concert.

dougs09

there is a pub around the corner from it accross from the dockyards (away from the ferry terminals iirc

also, if you walk past the o2, cross the bridge, and then once you cross turn straight away as in walking back towards the bridge and follow that road, it leads to a street and if you continue walking you come to a few pubs and chippy, the chippy is called formula one or summat.

directions terrible but thats the only way i can remember to describe it haha

btw, have they sorted out the parking yet at the o2, cause im goinna drive up, so was gonna try park onsite, or just park alongside the liffey on the road heading towards the city, heck, i could even park at the train station and walk it if i had to

lunacyfoundme

Im getting a bus up from Dundalk and stayin overnight in Jurys so no driving for me...

dougs09

oh your getting matthews coach are you?, they run direct to the event.

yeah funds are a bit tight so no hotels for me lol
but jurys is pretty close to the place good spot to stay, is it costing ya much?

lunacyfoundme

actually getting the 100x up to the IFSC in the morning so I can check in and watch the United match. Two rooms for two people is about €180 so about €45 each. Worth it to not have to race for a bus and do late traveling after. Also, residents bar ; )

dougs09

yeah thats a plan alright lol

Driver 8

What time's kick off? I mean, if they're on at 8, that's cutting it fine...

lunacyfoundme

Games in Russia, the kickoff here is 1730 so itll be finished by 1915. Short walk to the O2.

Driver 8

That's grand, might find somewhere to watch it myself.

keeponrockin

Just got email from ticketmaster saying Doors 18.30 :Show Starts 20.00 so gonna def go watch the United Game ,then stroll up from town, was originally gonna be there earlier cos got that original email sayin Prima Donna 19.00 and Green Day 20.00 few weeks back but reckon get there for 20.30 and will be plenty of time for a drink and short wait for GD and No queues too Happy Days

Anyone Caught Not Moshing or StageDiving will be Ejected without Refund:D

Driver 8

Sure they will, ha

keeponrockin

Just found this on setlist fm .com from Glasgow gig other night..

g675 October 20, 2009 8:38:39 PM UTC
They came on at 8:05 and finished at 22:45. Support was a pish group of Community Service rejects called Prima Donna.

Could be bull but I aint takin no chances ..get there by 8 or end up with a mush like this :eek:..NOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo :pac:

simon ritchie

oh jesus i am actually one pump away from full release waiting for green day later...

first gig was GD in sfx in 94...this one might top it me thinks...they seem to be in great form...

2 and a half hours of all the hits....jaysus i might have to have a pre emptive **** before leaving work....



(too much info there....sorry)

Hellrazer

Wheres the best place for parking for the O2 these days?Heading in later with my 11 year old daughter--shes a bigger GD fan than me.

Cant wait for this--Havent seen them since 98 myself.

JJ

One of the Phantom DJs went down to the O2 this morning 'cause there were Green Day fans camped out there since 8 last nite. I couldn't believe it. Even in my younger days I wouldn't queue up for a band I really like for that long in the freezing rain.

pfannkuchen

Excited :D:D

Ha, madness! Not the worst I've heard though - when I went to see the Boss in July, people had been queueing since Wednesday night and the concert was Saturday :rolleyes:

GD in the sfx was in 98 not 94. get there early tonight, GD on around 8

sammywilsonjnr

Was at the gig last night in Belfast. No support act, GD came onstage at 8 on the button and tore a hole in the place right through to 10.15 when they went offstage for no more than two minutes then came back on for another 15 mins. Had considered doing the usual and go oing for a few pints beforehand and rolling in around 9. Thank christ traffic put paid to that plan.

zoey

Was at the concert in Belfast last night, they were brilliant!!
Wish I had it all to look forward to tonight again!

I was wrong.....for a change :rolleyes::rolleyes:

They went onstage at 20:00 and came off at 22:30

We walked into the venue at 7.35 at the front entrance, they had about 100 pit passes they were giving away, would've been rude not to take one :-)

2hrs 30 mins of pure fcukin excellence, what a gig, pics to follow..

Lola92

Unreal gig, I also stumbled upon two pit passes while going out the wrong door for a smoke!!!:D:D:D

Got up this morning to have a gawk at the aul pics from last night only to find out that my full 8mb memory card has been "corrupted"??? :eek: No pics for me.... and i was about four people from the front barrier of the pit....:(

Still, twas an AMAZING night all round:)

Best gig Ive been at in years.Mind you I did feel quite old.For audience participation they really cant be beaten especially that pissed bloke singing longview.

Scudzilla--Any more good pics?Wouldnt mind printing a few off for my daughter?She brought her camera but we werent close enough to get decent pics.

Kinetic^

Good gig, would go again.

Dubliner28

Will have to rob some of them pics lads sorry. Forgot me camara.
Amazing gig by GD. First time seeing them live and if they were playing again tonight id go see them again.
Great set. Bringing the girl/boy up on stage to sing was great of them.
The place was hoping.
One of the best gigs i was ever at

allanb49

billie said it was being recorded for tv. anyone have any ideas about it great gig lots of old stuff

simon ritchie

holy ****!

that was fekin mega!

they even slipped in 2000 light years away...

i have a pain in my face from smiling and my throat is hoarse from shouting along...was nice to see alot of heads my age there and not be over run by children...

thats the greatest gig i have ever been to. they didnt stop (bar the few minutes break)...

did anyone catch a tshirt from the gun?

and DID THEY WALK IN THE FRONT DOOR OF THE VENUE??

whiterob81

that was some savage gig alright. first time seeing them. would definitely go again. I was actually surprised at how old a lot of the crowd was. but then i was sitting up at the back.

i've heard a rumour they're meant to be playing slane next year
