I got 2 tickets for London and 2 gold for Slane. I will probably only go to London and put the Slane tickets on toutless.

What were the options and prices for London ? Can you choose pitch standing for example or is it just a specific section for pre sale tickets?

Yep. MCD will just threaten boards.ie or whoever and it'll all blow over. They haven't bothered improving their organisation one bit in 15 years. Not one bit. But they still sell out most of the Slane gigs.
GnR are expensive too so can't see there being much cash left over for facilities like food, transport, stewards, security and toilets.

It's clear you don't like the venue but that right there is complete rubbish. Also, how many gigs have you been to in Slane in the past 15 years?

I had the choice of both seating & standing. I opted for seats around the halfway line for £281.

Well ****e anyway, could have just about persuaded myself to go to CP or the Avia for it but good Jesus Slane is a nightmare, at least Axl is behaving himself these days but the thought of going all the way to that hole and Axl having a tantrum is just too risky, **** that.......and those Prices for a field in the middle of nowhere?? :eek:

How many times this year has he had a tantrum? Or anything close to 1?

None this year I believe........but how many in the 30 years before That?? Regardless, even if he's good as gold it's a nightmare venue but if people go there knowing this well that's fair enough, no skin off my Nose I'm just disappointed it wasn't somewhere else as a good friend of mine wants to go see them and if it was at a half decent venue I'd have gone too, saw him in 2010 when he had his infamous tantrum btw so I'd really rather not risk another one in the middle of nowhere no matter how much of an angel he is lately

If you can't handle a rock band misbehaving or having to rough it a bit go see some bland ****e like Coldplay

Table Top Joe

Ok will do thanks, your right, I'm just not rock n roll enough to potentially spend a night stranded in the middle of nowhere in a field......you sure told Me!

nikkibikki

Aaaaanyway.... what extra does the golden circle give you, anyone know?

RebelSoul

Am I the only one that thinks the sound in Croke and the Aviva are ****e?. Slane is better.

Well if you need to go then I suggest you buy a Nightrain Membership at 42.00 euro ,and you can buy tickets now on Ticketmaster.

Nobody is going to give you a presale code that they paid good money for,especially a new poster .

How many people do you know have been left stranded in Slane after a gig where it was completely the organizers fault? My guess would be f*** all.

Every year as soon as Slane is mention people start moaning and it's usually people who haven't been in years or people passing on what they've heard someone else say. One year it was madness and that was mostly down to Dublin Bus.

Yes it's a bit of a walk back to the buses if that's the way you're travelling. Yes there will probably be muck - it's in a field after all. And yes it might even rain unless they plan on putting an umbrella over 80,000 people. Don't go with the expectation that you're going to chauffeur driven in and out of the field, that the weather is going to be perfect, that there'll be no queues or that you'll be tucked up in bed soon after the gig is finished and you'll have a great day. You're never going to enjoy it when you've already decided it'll be a sh*t day.

Are the presale codes unique?

Cantona's Collars

I saw them the last time they played Slane,an unreal gig. Seriously tempted to go next year but herself not so much.

Exactly, if it was in Croke Park you would have people complaining about the sound for the next 5-6 months, always something.

Managed to get a Golden Circle ticket today and cannot wait for this gig. Was there in 1992 and it was a great concert. 25 Years on the place will be rocking again.

twilight_singer

Seen em in 92. First ever gig.
Have B+B booked for 27/05, will wait to see what the story is with tickets on friday, hate the hassle of slane.....but its Axl N slash.
Pity the full original line up never played Ireland.

Seriously, what's the benefit of the golden circle ticket?

It's just a €60 pit pass essentially.

Black Star Riders
The Strypes
Backyard Babies
etc. etc.

Mushy

Good shout really: Blizzards (not that they're good, just they'll be token Irish act). Black Star Riders was one I was thinking of too, normally show up at these.

Hopefully a decent size act like Alice in Chains will be on it.

GNR
AIC
Black Star Riders
The Answer

The Answer would be good also. Forgot about them. Definitely think either Black Star Riders or The Answer will be the token Irish rock band.

Conor Bourke

The Blizzards and The Answer were the support acts for AC/DC in Punchestown in '09 iirc.

The former were predictably crap and not very well received. The latter were decent enough.

I am coming back from Hong Kong the morning of this gig, gutted that I'll probably miss it

Mushy

Can nearly put money on it. Was at Foos in 2015 and really enjoyed the lineup so more of the same would be sweet.
