Absolutely buzzing with this announcement.

Rumours have been flying that Priest were going to play Slane with Metallica.

Delighted they are playing Dublin.

And only €60 for tickets, surprised they are that cheap considering Sabbath were the guts of €100 a pop.

Cannot funking wait for this.

Pleasantly surprised at the ticket prices myself! I'm just back from seeing Priest at Bloodstock and they absolutely melted faces.

They are top of my metal bucket list so I'm stupidly excited.

tickets from €58

prob a handful of tickets at that price and the rest will be near €80-€100

I'd be surprised if there was any increase tbh. The seated and standing tix for Sabbath were the same price iirc, likewise with the upcoming Slayer show.

Yes - you get a personalized laminate with the word "GULLIBLE" on it.

Knew the "from €59" would be boll0cks ... €86 paid for Standing but at least it's two legends

Jelle1880

From 59 hahaha

**** I hope Ticketmaster crash and burn soon, 7 euros in fees...

PTH2009

the Judas Preist drummer Scott Travis is truly Lurch from the Adams family lol. Pretty solid drummer too. Hes also apart of Thin Lizzy (how many different members have they had for these reunion/tribute shows through the years ???)

Will Glen Tipton play in Jan do u say ???

Tackleberry.

Don't bother.....

Its just all "I read on a website about a lad that heard from someone that he read somewhere the Metallica will definitely play Slane (or croke park, or marlay pk) with Ghost and Judas Priest..."

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Its not often you see two heavyweights on the same bill in an indoor show.

Ticket acquired but curious as to why seats for Blocks B,C,D,E or F were not available. A limited few for B & F were listed as Platinum seats but nothing from the other blocks?

They will release them nearer the time. Its an attempt by ticketbastard to extract as much money as possible. Release all the crappy seats first and hope they sell out, release a few of the good seats at an inflated price and hope they sell, if they do, release a few more at the same price, if they dont, reduce the price and release more.

They are absolute cnuts.

Got standing tickets for this - never seen either before so looking forward to it. As its my 40th too, the missus (with no interest in metal) is tagging along. Staying at the Gibson across the road means I'll finally be able to have a few pints at a Dublin gig rather than driving up and back same night. Happy days.

Tickets arrived today, pathetic new flimsy paper crap looks like my stub collecting days could be sadly numbered.

My ticket for Paul McCartney arrived last week and it's the same, horrible looking.

Got mine yesterday too ... seriously flimsy paper tickets. Even more infuriating when you realize you've paid Ticketbastard almost €7 per ticket for the privilege.

Bloodstock this year was like that too, flimsy paper festival ticket is a bad idea.

ozzy jr

I'm getting the ticket as a Christmas present. I know it was bought at the Ticketmaster outlet in Stephens Green. I'm hoping it's at the very least the usual ticketmaster ticket, as I too am a ticket collector

Mine just arrived.
Yes, agreed,they have cut the quality without cutting the price.
Serious rip off & poor value for the paying customer.
:mad:

And I notice on the TM website they have not provided the ability to give feedback easily.

Liam McPoyle

Ticket Master are up there with the very worst of the powerful conglomerates in terms of their fcuk you cnutishness when it comes to their customers.

My tickets arrived the other day and I'm amazed they did - the only thing correct on the envelope was my name and street address. The town and county were Sligo!

Same for me but had Galway instead of Waterford

BronsonTB

Same here, they had Dublin & Dublin eircode on mine. (I live in Sligo).

Glad I got them but very poor mess up by TM seeing as it happened to a few of us.

RayCon

Yeah same with my address ... apparently I now live in Galway.

Same, had the county down as Antrim even though I'm in cork, I'd assumed I made a mistake and missed a drop down menu. Looks like the eircom saved me.

At my age my gigging days are more or less behind me but I am tempted by this. Never seen Priest before and would love to catch them.

Saw Ozzy once - in 1984 at Monsters Of Rock in Donnington and he was spectacular.

PTH2009

Got the recent Judas Priest blu ray so will sit down and blast that over Xmas

More excited about seeing them than ozzy

PTH2009

First gig of 2019

Looking forward too it but only expecting a short greatest hits set from Judas priest

Be cool too see Ozzy too he has some cheesy but great songs

Lots of great songs imo but he rarely varies the setlist which is a pity. Would love if he did some from I Just Want You, Desire, Flying High Again, Hellraiser, Miracle Man, Bloodbath in Paradise, Fire in the Sky, Killer of Giants, Mr Tinkertrain etc. So many toons that will never be played live again. Shame.

Don't stone me but I would even forgive him ditching the Sabbath tunes in order to fit some of the others in. He must be bored to death singing Iron Man and Paranoid at this stage.

I'm guessing that they can't change the setlist as he just isn't capable, he knows the songs in the set, with his autocue on hand not much can go wrong, if they changed his setlist he'd be goosed

I was thinking the exact same to be honest. He toured extensively for the past 4/5 years with the original Sabbath lineup (bar Ward of course but that's for another thread) and I saw them 3 times over the course of this run so have little interest in seeing him do them again without Sabbath when he has such an extensive solo catalogue. Still, I'm happy enough just to see him solo as I've been a big fan of loads of his solo stuff for years and kept managing to miss him so will be a big tick off the bucket list for me.

Just gotten off the phone with someone i know who works in the 3 arena, apparently the Ozzy gig has been postponed until April for health reasons. Seriously hope not. Really looking forward to this gig especially as Priest are supporting.

Is he winding you up or can anyone confirm this?? Have hotel booked etc..

Nothing mentioned on OZZY / 3 Arena / MCD websites

pawdee

Why are they still selling tickets if it's cancelled?

MadYaker

Tickets still on sale for all the gigs. He has a pretty packed touring schedule for an old guy with a shot voice. He’s gigging 3 times a week right up to the end of June as far as I can tell.

GHOST MGG

Ozzy posted a pic of his eye yesterday which he said he burst the blood vessel in it from coughing,but nothing said about gig

Well Judas Priest are starting there tour as normal in Paris tomorrow night

Really frustrating not knowing will the show go ahead next weds

Too true! It's doing my head in. You'd think 3 Arena would make some kind of announcement. I rang them yesterday and the lady who answered the phone knew nothing of the gig being cancelled or postponed. As far as she was concerned it's still going ahead. I've booked two days off work, train, hotel the lot (I live in the sticks) and I'll be disgusted if it's cancelled / postponed!

RayCon

I'd be very surprised if it gets cancelled. You would think if Ozzy was given medical advice to rest due to the eye problem, there would be an official announcement by now.

wally1990

Just off the phone with ticket master

The reps words were they have no news from the promoter but it will probably be Monday before they do(if any)

As soon as Ticketmaster know they email everyone if Ozzy himself isn't playing and refunds are issued to the bank cards at the same time

Personally. Can't imagine it being cancelled

Is this post the basis for people being concerned the concert will be postponed?

The internet is full of people "who know somebody". I'd wait for something a bit more substantial than that before I'd start getting worried.

I'm going on Wednesday but it would suit me a lot more if it was put back to April!

I'll be pissed off esp with the such late notice but not as annoyed as the people with hotel rooms etc

Hooefully should make the April date tbh but big possibility Preist won't be the support

Hopefully the concert happens weds and this is all just speculation
