Some free tickets aswell through the Heineken Music thing!

Tickets sold out mental quick today apparently.

15 seconds is what I've been hearing. Seriously.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for tickets but I would be gutted if I didn't get to this.

Shapey Fiend

Yup. I was booking them at 2:00 and got a sold out notice. If I'd known it was going to be such a rush I'd have been hitting refresh at 1.59.

Good night?

Couldn't tell you tbh, very strange set up for a Friday night gig in the Academy, and a shambles from my point of view.

Tickets say doors at 7.30 and if you show up from 9.30 onwards you can't be gaurenteed entrance. Grand job, no skin off my nose, wasn't going to queue up anyway. On the day of the show a text is sent out by Heineken that the time on the tickets is wrong and doors are at 9. Again no bother to me, presume there's either no support or a short support act on as gigs in the Academt usually finish up by 11. Get into the Academy at around 9.20 and straight into the ground level bar for complimentary beers - happy days. Head up to the venue around 9.50 to get a decent spot. By 11.10 nobody had appeared on stage and there was just songs selected by the crowd playing over the PA.

At that stage I had to leave to get a bus. Would be interested to hear how the show actually went and what time it went on til.

Could you not have just forked out for a taxi or something later on?

Edit: Don't mean that in a bad way, but instead of missing the show just to get last bus...?

Seaneh

The reviews of his live shows are shockingly bad anyway, I'd say you missed nothing.

Boom_Bap

A friend of mine was there and said it was excellent. I don't even think he is a big Rocky fan either.

ustari

Was a very good gig.

I wouldn't be the biggest fan, only know 5 or so songs but thought he was great live.

Pity it didn't kick off until 11:40, finished up around 12:30.

****in Problems is brilliant live.

Kylo Ren

I thought it was a great gig. The near 2 hour wait was ridiculous however. He did apologies which helped.

His freestyle over the Ole chant was class and Jump Around was a good laugh. He is bloody brilliant with crowd interaction. Crowd surfing, and constantly throwing out his hand to the crowd.

Was great to see ****ing Problems and Hands on the wheel too.

Sounds good only an hour though? Let's hope Wiz Khalifa and his tour come to Ireland for a date. Would be good to see.

Yeah, only an hour but it was free. No complaints there really.
