here is the seating plan

thanks ponceprhea.

Yeah, I was able to look at the seating plan, and they seem fairly good seats (on the plan) but was hoping someone who had actully been there before could give some first hand info on that seating area.

Also, one would assume umbrellas are banned?

Yeah, I know!

Am a bit surprised that the second date hasn't sold out yet.

Anyone know if the second date is definitely sold out yet? I just had a look on Ticketmaster and it looked like they were gone.

First time using this forum - my husband and I (sounds quite regal) are travelling from Limerick to the concert and are trying to organise public transport - any idea how long Ennio usually plays for ? - it would be handy info - to organise the return journey.

hi

JJ Kavanagh Coaches run services to and from Dublin and Limerick during the day and night, with the last bus from Dublin airport at 12.30am

This bus picks up at the Convention Centre at 00.43am and George's Quay at 00.47am

http://jjkavanagh.ie/images/events/Limerick-Dublin%20FEB%202012.pdf

They also have service seven nights a week from Dublin to Limerick

They run a bus at 1am from Arthurs Quay in Limerick, near the Tourist Office to Dublin Airport and also at 4am from Arthurs Quay in Limerick which drops off in Dublin City Centre at Eden Quay and then on to the airport

Anyone know what time the concert starts?

According to Marty Whelan, the gates open (on Saturday at any rate) at 5.30pm. The man himself is supposed to be on stage at 8.30pm and the concert will be preceded by a screening of Cinema Paradiso on the big screens. Bliss!

I have one ticket for Sunday evening but would be willing to swap for Saturday evening if anyone's interested? (Don't know the seat off hand but it's not too bad.)

Are you sure of the time onstage? Travelling from Cork, so need to plan accordingly. Thanks in advance for the info.

Wow cannot believe it is almost time, I cannot WAIT for this concert of a lifetime!!

mary mcgarry

Me again - thanks for the info on JJ Kavanagh bus etc. Still trying to gauge if this concert on Sunday will be 2 or 3 hrs - don't want to miss any of it necessarily to get bus/train home.
Anyone - that has seen him in Concert before - can you advise - concert duration ????

Tickets cannot be purchased for this event, but...

Ennio Morricone will take part in a public interview and Q&A on Sunday July 28th at the Light House Cinema, Smithfield. The Italian maestro will discuss his extraordinary career as a film composer and receive a Volta Award from Jameson Dublin International Film Festival in recognition of his extraordinary contribution to film.

Morricone’s first ever public interview in the Republic of Ireland is an unmissable opportunity to hear the composer discuss his astounding achievements with Sir Christopher Frayling, a British writer and critic who has written at length about the master’s work and is also the author of the definitive biography of Sergio Leone.

Anyone know about parking? The weather look ok from RTE's weather forcast
Friday and the weekend will remain fairly warm in most places, with light to moderate, mainly southeasterly winds; there will be a good deal of dry, bright weather each day but showers will occur from time to time, with Sunday likely to have the most frequent shower activity. The early days of next week will bring further showers or more prolonged spells of rain; it may be quite windy at times also and it will feel a good deal fresher.

I've seen him twice before and AFAIR it was roughly 2 hours if not less.

eisenberg1

Doors open at 4.30 I heard, does anyone know what time it actually starts?, rumours of Cinema Paradiso showing before concert...If Ennio comes on at 8.30, it should be over by 10.30 (there is a 10.45 curfew)

We are travelling a good distance and so trying to figure out if best to eat before concert? Hard to know what to do as nobody seems sure what is happening................If Ennio comes on at 5pm, it would be over 7.30, plenty of time for dinner etc

Can anyone clarify?

MfMan

According to Lyric (and ticketmaster), doors opening at 5.30pm with Il Maestro taking stage at 8.30pm. Cinema Paradiso showing on big screens prior to concert.

hi

you would have time to get out of the venue and get a LUAS back into town from Heuston Station after the gig, considering it ends at 10.45pm.

It takes about 10 minutes to walk briskly out of the venue and onto the road that leads to Heuston Station, so if you opted for the JJ Kavanagh coach to Limerick from the Convention Centre at 12.43am or Georges Quay at 12.45am, you'd have time to get it.

The only issue is that the LUAS would fill up real quick considering the crowd from the gig.

I'm not sure what time the last LUAS is from Heuston Station into Bus Aras, but there's usually taxis parked along Heuston Station anyway, if you missed the last LUAS into town.

I presume its the same for both nights.
If you go to pod website you will see it (they are the promoters)

The original Daithi Lacha

Does anyone know if there is a dress code for the concert? I've never been to an outdoor concert by composer so I'm not sure.
