You wouldn't go for a few current local bands supporting over an old pension fund raiser?

*clap*

Mr Whirly

Blood or Whiskey don't appeal to me and haven't done sine their original singer left. I think I've seen Runnin Riot four times in Dublin this year alone. I'd rather see Cock Sparrer.

They started getting a bit gash a few albums ago, but I'll happily go to this anyway. Academy's a quality venue for something like this and two deadly Irish support acts. 25 notes isn't too bad either, considering...

Fair enough. With ya on the BOW front too... Still, I'm fairly sure RR have more songs I like than Cock Sparrer by a long shot. They really do have some awful crap in their back catalogue. Most stuff outside Shock Troops is crap.

Considering what? Punk bands come from all over the world to play here and charge €10. Rancids shirts are also more expensive than theirs. Just playing devil's advocate here.... they're making a lot of money off this. Don't deny it

Considering exactly that. you'd expect a Rancid gig to cost more than 25 quid. 25 quid I'll still pay for the nostalia. who's denying anything?

dregin

My point was, why should I expect a Rancid gig to cost more than €25? You charge a tenner in, fill the venue - that's it paid for. They make their money off merch. GRAND!

You shouldn't - cos they're supposedly a punk band. but you do - because they're greedy twats.

SonTheFather

dregin

Put your head down and don't be drunk when you're walking in... that or get a lend of someone's ID. It's not rocket science If you don't wanna do that, I'm sure one of the other bands will bring ya in...

SonTheFather

AnimalRights

Surely someone owes u a favour?

Well seeing as you have to travel anyway why not just go up and see them in Belfast?
The gig in the Mandela is an over 14s.

Get Anarcho to bring ya up. He's in Kerry. BE GRAND!

Surprised it hasn't sold out already. Only the Academy and they haven't been here in 9 years.

EXCITED!

I wouldn't have thought it would completely sell out at all? Maybe I'm underestimating the demand them. I haven't been in any rush to get my ticket yet anyway.

Ro: maaan!

It was pretty full when they played in the Olympia. Can't remember who supported them then, but this time's support is almost certainly better too.

Or maybe I'm just overestimating the demand!

melekalikimaka

you dont know the touring costs for the band, hotels, stage crew, touring crew, flights, venue fee(which are some of the highest in europe from a chat i had with a band that toured uk and belfast and refused dublin due to high fees). I think they should charge what they feel fit, just because they are punk( thats a stretch tbh given its rancid), doesn't mean they should live on a shoestring

dregin

I'd live on a shoestring to be in their shoes
