Get a grip of yourself !

Great to see a top band like Counting Crows Back in Dublin.

Furious-Red

Seen them at Oxegen 2008 and was a bit dissapointed since they relied on the new album way to much for a festival slot and not many hits.

Might grab a ticket at a later stage

It's the same week as Glastonbury, I'm hoping they get announced for that, saw them in Birmingham last year, brilliant show

ryaner777

I see theres a meet and greet option on ticketmaster, does anyone have any idea what these normally cost ??

ryaner777

I've a disappointed teenager here...it's 'strictly over 18's'
It's a pity would have loved to have brought her to this, can't see why it's over 18's?

Probably because there's a bar and lads selling bottles in standing area in the Olympia.

How old is she ? If she looks old enough ( close to 18 ) there won't be a problem getting in. Just don't send her to the bar !

If she's closer to 13 than give the poor girl a break, let her have a childhood and don't let her listen to counting crows until she's a lot older. :D;)

ha I know, but that ship has sailed.
She loves them, I do too though and would like to see them live again, she's nearly 16 could pass for 18 and has been to Kilmainam for a concert before, but it was 16's (she was 13 at the time)....and she won't be going to the bar lol

Are they not strict on the door?

Would hate to get up there and be turned away.

ryaner777

You won't be turned away, especially if she's with a parent or guardian.

They might stop a big group of 16 year olds but never one on their own with their folks. Especially going into the type of gig this is.

I've worked at a few of these type of gigs and you'll be fine.

Just try and arrive early, then in the worst case senario if you don't get in you'll get rid of the tickets outside.

Or go for a walk and come back a hour, someone else will check your ticket and you'll stroll in.

Role call time. Many tickets sold for this I wonder. What's the weather forecast?

Cloudy but dry. Can't wait

CountingCrows

Anyone know what time Adam & Co are due on stage?

ryaner777

The other half is going in to see the sound check and meet the band before the gig at 2. I won't be able to head in until the normal doors open at 6. So 4 hours to kill. Anyone suggest somewhere in the area that will have decent music playing or where there will be a bit of a crowd during the day ?

We're you turned away?

No, gig is today. We've only one ticket to meet the band so she's going in and I'm waiting until general doors open.

Seasick Steve was great last night, the Crows.. well they were ok. Technically their playing was great, but no stage presence from the grumpy fncker of a lead singer and sod all interaction from him with the crowd. Duritz spent time between every song - every bloody song - giving someone backstage a hard time about something. Then he'd spend his time during songs dicking about at his in-ear monitors. So unprofessional and really distracting. If the sound on stage isn't right you just get on with the show and work around it not bitch about it all bloody night.

CountingCrows

That's harsh, everyone in the band was trying to get messages across so there was obviously something wrong. Agreed there was less interaction than usual but I thought they were trying to pack in as many songs as possible before the curfew.
