They're only on sale 4 hours, and there for all we know there could be 100 or 20,000 tickets left!

I AM GOING TO THE GIG CAN'T WAIT.

I am not going for the music though.

I am going there to ask 100 random people to name more than 10 songs of the "legend" that is Bruce S.

These "super fans" should be able to rattle off >50. We will see.

He is great though - perfect for old wrinklies who want to believe they are at a "rock" concert.

'Old Wrinklies'? I'm 19 and a big Bruce fan.. I have barely any wrinkles thank you very much :P and having seen Green Day, Muse and Rammstein live, three of the supposed best live bands on the planet, I can tell you Bruce and E Street put on a show that could rival, if not is better than any of theirs :P

What would a taxi to kilkenny from carlow cost do you reckon? I've booked a place in Carlow just in case. It has free cancellation so I'll use it if I can't get somewhere in Kilkenny.

Quite a bit. I'm going to give a guess of over €60.

Try to find other people that are travelling that way. If you had another 5/6 people then the cost wouldn't be as severe.

There's trains between Carlow and Kilkenny, you would probably have to get a taxi home from it alright, that would be 60-70 quid I'd say.

carolinespring

Ring Kilkenny tourist office and they can help you. I rang and they gave me a pile of B&B numbers and got sorted after the 2nd call. 110 for a double room per night.

stop animal cruelty

my problem was lm going on my own so there were alot of B&Bs that would only take 2 or more for the weekend...worked out anyway

Longford Lass

Ready and waitin to rock n roll in Nowlan Park to Bruce and Imelda and of course the older geyzers too!
Managed to book a llittle mews property attached to what looks like a fab little B&B 10 mins walk from the stadium so happy days! e150 for the night. An expensive night away all told but well worth every single penny!

davywalsh7

any1 what the story is with regards to drinkin in the stadium and stuff?

is it like croke park that u cant drink on the pitch or will it be a set up like the aviva? bit of a downer if he plays for over 3hours and you cant get a pint during it

was just wondering has anyone been to a gig here before and what setup does the bar have if any?

Meangadh

According to the website specifically for the weekend, www.wreckingballweekender.com:

Will there be any food, drink stalls on site?

Yes , there will be bars and other food and drinks outlets.
