    Except for the Foo's there was no extra charge , But yea a lot of bands are doing the Golden Circle thing for the pit.

    Oh I know (and fair play to the Foos for not charging extra). I was just trying to get into the mind set of why you'd queue this early in the rain for no pit!? At least head into Paddy Cullens or something if you're early!!

    Last time I saw pit wristbands for early comers was at Blur in Kilmainham 2013.

    There is zero premium paid for This gig?
    It was simply a matter of buying tickets for pitch one.

    Only leaving work at 5pm, so it'll be a good 7pm before I make it to the RDS....the back of pitch 1'll suit me fine though.

    They're queuing at the entrance for Pitch 2 so id say it's to get up top of that. The back of pitch 2 is an age away from the stage.

    As others have said, no pit wristbands. Pitch 1 is the "pit" for this gig (albeit it quite a big pit).

    Parked on an empty Ailebury Road, all car parks full including Clayton hotel...

    Herbert Park Road probably a good option. 10 minute walk.

    Counting down the minutes to leave work

    Just happened upon a google streetview shot at a gig in the RDS, can understand the pitch 2 people queuing early, it does seem very far back

    Wanderers Rugby Club, just up from Ailesbury road, are open for parking. €10 for the evening and loads of spaces left. Guy at the gate said they will have someone on duty for the evening so cars are safe.

    Been waiting for this gig from the moment it was announced. Absolutely so excited for it. Then, last minute, I couldn't go. Absolutely devastated. Like so gutted. I actually just want to cry!

    You missed nothing. A lot of talking but none of the urgency of the early years. 22 years since I saw them last. They've slowed down more than I have. Tepid.
