    Seems to be more released now .

    The Opera House website is fairly rubbish ,you had to be logged in to check for tickets when they went on sale at 10am.
    I couldn't figure out why tickets were not showing to me earlier.

    Strange, I wasn't logged in and was shown at 10:00 (had to create an account to purchase during the process)

    Try and register for their newsletter on their website if you can anyway. The gig will definitely sell out anyway judging by how fast their arena shows sold out here. Ill post a link in here tomorrow if i get a link cant go myself unfortunately same evening as Bill Bailey in the three

    Talos, Soak/Bridie, Dream Wife, Coely, Princess Nokia, Kruder and Dorfmeister and Modeselektor announced for Body and Soul.

    Likely more being announced over the next while but they're the first seven out of the hat.

    Any word on More slane support acts? Last I heard the sales were pretty bad would have expected a big name by now... think they missed a trick getting Judas Priest to play slane considering that ozzy gig may never happen, Alice In Chains wouldn’t have been a bad shout either but they have their own date in the Olympia although it sold out instantly and demand for tickets in the likes of toutless even now seems pretty high.

    Availability may be a problem but tbh who would big enough too help sales really ???

    Personally would love too see Volbeat on the bill and then actually free around slane time but they would not help sales that much

    Download is the weekend after so maybe try and see are one of the bigger names around


  • Registered Users Posts: 575 ✭✭✭Duffy98


    Very surprised alright to not here any news about Slane you'd think that there would be some sort of announcement at this stage with it only being nearly 3 months away. How bad are the ticket sales supposedly I thought it would be an instant sell out considering they havent played a gig here in 10 years but then again they dont have the same universal appeal of a guns n' roses. I think Ghost will be good and metallica but it will be a long wait just to see both of them. They really took the piss with dividing the pitch into three sections how that will be regulated is beyond me. Hoping they add another decent act but the Ghost probably have it where they have to be before Metallica so god only knows who there going to get. if ticket sales are as bad as there supposed to be it may be their last gig here

    Well going by the Taylor Swift debacle last year MCD will just sit on their arse for a few more months and then just give away thousands of tickets like they did for her.

    It was obvious by this time last year that it was selling atrociously but instead of running some offers they did nothing.

    As they haven't beefed up the Slane lineup by now ,they arent going to spend more money on doing so .
    Metallicas UK gigs are struggling too ,the tickets are just too expensive.


  • Registered Users Posts: 575 ✭✭✭Duffy98


    Yeah was the same last year i won michael buble tickets for great seats on the ground cause of poor ticket sales it happens across the board. For Metallica you would want to be a real fan to pay the prices they are demanding the gig falls on my 21st so i got the shortest straw package but if it were any normal day I wouldnt bother at all. GnR was great value for money with the great support and nearly 3 hour show. I wouldnt be surprised if MCD went cheap on the support like the Academic or something they really shot themselves in the foot with having 90 euro tickets to just stand at the back of a field and having so many sections. I could see them appealing to the masses for future Slane gigs by having Coldplay or ed Sheeran to make sure they sell out the place

    Judas Priest would be tied into a contract for that tour,you may not hear anything bout reschedule of those til it's confirmed Ozzy made it onstage at Rocklahoma his now next show end of May. Priest are committed to North American dates Slane weekend anyhow.

    With Metallica headlining you are already preaching to the converted no matter who you put on there, they had Slipknot (first show in Dublin at the time) at a similar point in their career as Ghost at the time support them in the RDS one year and even though I was pleased to have them on there at there was an equal bag of whingers.

    According to some on here MCD were trying to get the gig moved to the rds so at that loint it must have been Less then 30K sold to fit everyone who had tickets in. Although I don’t know how true those claims are.

    They were bollocks.

    Having it the same day as The Cure was the height of madness.

    Completely splitting the audience. They both started around the same time so theres a huge crossover fanbase there.
