So, with registration now closed for the free gig, and it prob much cheaper to go to the 02 then fly to England for the RATM gig....does that mean that the band are also gonna perform at Download when the headliners are announced about x o clock later today

Would be surprised if they weren't added to Download now.....dates seem to match in perfectly.......wish I had some cash at the minute - pretty sure that this O2 gig will sell fast.....

Nice!:D Anyone know when priority tickets are on sale?

claireblossom

I'm there, **** I can't believe it! I remember hearing Rage at Oxegen from my house(I live in Naas) and being so upset I wasn't there!
67 euro is very steep though, hope to have it by Wed so I can get presale.

How do you know its €67?

Says on hotpress

Not 100% reliable, I know.

ItsAWindUp

Ah for **** sake!

JJ

I've found Hot Press are usually accurate with the price. I wouldn't have any reason to doubt them on that. I forgot that there will probably be an O2 priority sale. There's no info on the Blueroom site yet but I'm sure there will be.

My old man was at that gig as well. The way things are going, it likes like were gonna have to spend the night wandering the streets of Dublin, shouldn't be too bad in June.

We could fight fire with fire and boycott the gig untill they lower the prices...but that won't work because I know I won't take the risk of not getting tics and just pay the ridiculous price:/

The ironic thing is that is exactly something that RATM would encourage!

^I know hence the phrase "fight fire with fire"

My bad, missed the obvious RATM pun!:o

Minstrel27

That price is incredibly OTT. I will give this one a miss.

--LOS--

i just heard this on phantom! yesssss

claireblossom

I really hope no one I want to see is announced for Slane, I'm definatly not going to be able to go if I get tics for this.
Anyway, should be a ****ing mental gig, I look forward to being the only girl actually going for it in the pit

Necrodermis

I've been looking to see these guys forever...

Spending €130 for two tickets, and getting a bad back from sleeping in the car, had better be worth it!

I hope that there isn't actually a physical mosh pit, i.e. sectioned off from the rest of the crowd.

Ya Can Bet your life there will be a Pit for Rage but its a WAY Bigger Pit than Normal in the O2 so If ya get there any kind of a reasonable time you will get in..
Also If ya stand Either to the Left or Right Just Outside the Pit the View is Great too..But In the Centre Is Crap..Damn Tall People..
Thinkin of Givin this a Miss now ..Was Expecting €45-€50 ..But if youve never seen em before €72 is Worth It..They are UNREAL Live:eek:

Jordonvito

My theory is the extra price is to pay for bouncers/security etc;, the poor hoors would want to be getting serious money, cos they have a job on they're hand that night!

Brian

Hmm, they were great at Oxegen but I don't really think they're worth €70...

One pre-sale code can get ya as many tickets up to the max per person for the gig. So I can imagine it being 6(dunno why?)

Yellowledbetter

They were cracking at Oxegen but seriosly,€70.
Its just silly but needless to say Il be there!!!

The pre-sale code gives you the opportunity to buy tickets early but it doesn't guarantee that you'll get tickets.

I think it is genius if even those who say it costs too much will still pay.

Thats probably it now that I think about it, I bet Rage themselves have no idea exactly how much we are being charged(and hopefully very pissed off when they do)

keeponrockin

See the Info is Up on Ticketmaster now Tickets €65.60-€70.70 plus the €7 Card Fee..Reckon theyll do a Pearl Jam and the Standing Tickets will be the More Expensive ones.
Also says on MCDs site Tickets limited to 8 Per Person..Know this wont be for the PreSale but if thats the Case On Friday here comes another Tout Fest:rolleyes:

Minstrel27

8 per person makes the touts very happy indeed.

you can bet your life they know the price of the tickets. the bands set the price, not the promoter.
