I wonder who you get to meet at the meet & greet? If you get the chance to meet Naitch i'm def going

Furious-Red

Id say they will do 2 shows again here , might go for the Meet and Greet this time to see what its like

jaykhunter

That all sounds great. I'll need Mr. Anderson and Pope too! But you can't have it all. Flair, RVD, Hardy; yep it's worth 35 ros.

chordtype

Can't justify paying 75 for a show so I think it'll be a 35 ticket for me. Hopefully this time all the people that they advertise turn up. This is probably a better venue for them than the o2. More intimate and cheaper tickets.

Fitzy101

Sounds brill Hope they have some big names at the Meet & Greet.

Think I might buy meself a early X-mas present and get the meet and greet ticket,I've never sat ringside before either so would be doubly cool!

Is Kurt Angle not on the tour?

I think he will be, They probably didnt announce him because of the whole storyline going on with him atm about beating every contender or retiring.

Or they may be thinking they have enough star power already (which in fairness they do) and they may have just given Angle this tour off. I may or may not be going to this show - depends on the finances.

Furious-Red

Think i am gonna go for the €75 tickets since if Hardy is not in Jail i will get to meet him.
Hope MCMG,Pope,Anderson and Lethal pop over

EdK

It's so funny when events are announced with massive headliners,everyone wants someone else to be on it,I've been to the other shows so i'm happy enough to have a fresh line up

Heading to Bound for Glory so I won't be buying meet and greet tickets although I normally do and they can be hit and miss organisation wise,Last one everyone had to squash in by ringside barrier while everyone went around and signed

It's odd the free meet and greet they did in Liverpool had more of the top stars than any of the paid ones I went to

That's true, I think Hardy & RVD coming is a big plus anyway.

i suppose hogan and sting are definetely not going on this tour? i know they dont do house shows but when is the last time any of them were in Ireland? i'm pretty happy with the names already confirmed but still wondering about the others..

Yes

I've been to 4 Tna shows,2 in Dublin,1 in Liverpool & 1 in Coventry with a meet and Greet I enjoyed them but when I went to them they had L.A.X Beer Money,MCMG, Angle,Joe with Kong & Gail Kim.Besides McGuinness there is no-one I want to see wrestle.Hardy could be in Prison,Rvd is going through the motions & the chance of Hogan being there by the time this event happens makes me want to skip it.Maybe Bryan Danielson might be there,I'd crawl to Dublin (from Galway) to see him vs Angle.

Sting was over here with WWA in 2002.

I don't think Hogan has ever appeared at an event over here.

Great news, i'm well up for this.

After the highly unlikely possibility of getting a ticket for Shamrock Rovers/Juventus, this TNA ticket news has really cushioned the blow for me!

Do you know if ticketmaster still accept telephone bookings, or is it all done on the internet these days? I will be in work 9am friday morning, so will need to sneak off to the toilet to make the call

Really hope Hogan, Nash, Hall and Waltman make the tour, just for attitude era nostalga, (i know 3 out of those 4 are 99% unlikely). And a Styles/Angle 60 minute iron man match would be sweet.

I wonder if they will shoot an episode of Impact on this Euro tour?

G-Money

I'm seriously considering getting a meet and greet ticket. It would be f*****g brilliant to meet Flair and Jeff and get a photo/autograph.

Would love, love, love, love, love to meet Angle as well though.

I better brush up on my TNA though as I don't watch their shows really so I've no idea what's going on.

Pope is cool as well.

BTW: How do you get to the National Stadium, I'm based in south Dublin and I won't be driving.

thebostoncrab

It's simple to get too, get the 16 or 16a to Lenards Corner and walk towards Griffith College. Its just after the college.

Fitzy101

Anybody know any hotels near the stadium? There's a good few of us going and nobody fances driving.

Charisteas

When and where exactly is the meet and greet? Is it normally done in the arena a couple hours before the show starts? Or normally a day or 2 before?

Usually a couple of hours before the show at the arena.

LegendKiller_

I went to the meet and greet last time,i was the first one outside the 02 that day so i thought cool i'll get to meet a few as soon as they let us in everyone started to skip/push pass me i didn't get a photo taken with anyone didn't even get an autograph was so pissed at that point but i found the backstage pass JB hides at some houseshows i got to meet Velvet so i was happy going home,not sure if i should buy the meet and greet tickets this time i hope its not like the last one everyone squashed around the barriers around the ring
