Deadmau5 - Olympia - May 7th..

paddy1993

Hey guys i'm just posting this to ask a question.. you know on Tiesto's ticket page on ticketmaster , in "Please Note" it says "Over 18's - I.D Required"... so i go to the Deadmau5 page, and it says no such thing.. does anyone know if Deadmau5 is all ages, 14s+ or what? any reply is highly appreciated !

seanbmc

The last one was 18+,if it says nothing on the ticket I assume its just regular 16+. What time is the show on at? Sometimes the ones that are on alt like 23:00 are 18+

I'm going to this myself and there is no mention of over 18's, ID required etc on my ticket.

What would the Olympia be like for a dance event like this?
I've been in the upper circle for gigs before but not dance ones. Would everyone be standing/dancing up there or would you be forced to sit down?

paddy1993

hey guys, thanks a million for the replies... so are ye thinkin' its gonna be 16s+ ??? here's the link for those of you who are wondering ...
its a 21:30 kick off.

oh and the Olympia gig hasn't been posted on his website either (http://www.deadmau5.com/shows/)

so is this a genuine concert as it's not listed or what?

sorry to be spamming ye lads but, it is announced, there's an ad on the left and it's marked on his location map on the bottom of the homepage...
no words about age restrictions though..

I've seen him twice before here, in Tripod and The Academy, both were over 18's, so I'd imagine it would be the same for this. Although it does say the time on tickermaster as 21:00 I think, when it's usually 23:00 I think, but that may have something to do with it being in the Olympia. Don't want the place riddle with kids!!

Sorry

Oh and it is a genuine gig, saw the advert for it on his site a while back.

I'd imagine everyone will be up dancing around, really cant see people sitting at all.

Shamrock Rovers man.

Yeah, good idea to ring the olympia and find out. Ask em whats the story with it saying 21:30 on the tickets? Ask is it going to open till 2:30am like most dance gigs or is this an earlier thing and post what they say back here!

paddy1993

well it says "2 am" on deadmau5' website... so i dunno what the craic is..

Hackysack

Im going to this as well, but i'm very skeptical about how good a venue the Olympia will be. How can it be any use for a dance gig!??

backstreets

for all attending this gig the doors are opening at 9:30 and the show runs till 2:30am

Gavin "shels"

Olympia afaik is usually over 18's.

Quality! Just what I wanted to hear! How'd you know though?

But , SRFC, i knew that!! it says "doors 9:30" on ticketmaster, and "until 2.30 am" on http://deadmau5.com !!!


can ANYONE tell me if this gig is age limited or not? surely somebody must know.

But that could just be going by general times and nothing official. It'll be a nice long night if it's open from 9:30 till 2:30!

My next concern is where to get a drink. The Olympia is a theatre, not a club, so there'll be nowhere serving drinks unless something temp is put up which I doubt. Could be crazy if everyone had to go out to the lobby to get a drink mixing with people coming in etc.

Ya really need to get ringing them and asking these questions!!

9.00 doors i think.. he has like 4 support acts on his UK tour... so i'm guessing that'll come to ireland as we're like the days b4/after the uk... drinking...maybe as it's a theatre.

SRFC90

Not sure man, when he was in The Academy he didn't have his light set up that ya can see he brings round with him on his UK gigs, I'd say it costs too much too haul it over here usually with only 24hours between one gig and another to transport it and set it up, aswell as the bringing people to set it up. Same with the support acts, doubt if we'll see them over here, although I hope I'm wrong.

Maybe the fact he's having it in the Olympia is that he'll be able to do this!

Oh yeah I know, I mean it'll just be some Billy Bob playing and most likely not any of those supporting acts. Really hope it goes on until 2:30, and now that I think of it, maybe the fact it opens so early might be to let those acts all play!?

Hmmmm, not sure!

Random Album Title
For Lack Of A Better Name

and then once you start to appreciate where he's coming from try his older albums like :

Vexillology
Get Scraped

then try some live mixes to see what you're in for May 7th

doubt he'll be at oxegen. he's wrapping up his "For Lack Of A Better Name" tour in may/june and then going to raise his Baby Mau5 that he's having with the blonde bombshell (his assistant) Jessi.

you really think the olympia will perform til half two, i work at most gigs as stage crew in the academy and olympia, and i have never seen a gig go past 11.30, they get fined if they play later.

I also question the age... with a bar there isnt it illegal to have underagers there after a certain time?

As in a mini-van or mini-bus? If it's the latter I'd be saying get public transport and stay overnight in Dublin, probably work out cheaper. If it's a mini-bus just look locally for one.

i have it sorted. but thanks i'll keep that in mind for l8r

paddy1993

bought 2 tickets tonight lads , am i killing this thread or do ye care?

SRFC90

Still intrigued at to how this'll go, how late he'll play, drinks being served with under 18's being allowed in and all that jazz. Wish someone could clear it up!

Jello

Would like to see him live again but glad I didn't get a ticket for this. Ridiculous price, will be full of kids, will finish early and I really don't think the Olympia will be a good venue for this kind of show.

The Academy often have acts going on until 2:30am (mostly DJs), obviously get a late licence in for those.

paddy1993
