It's not just the trinity gigs though. I live in dublin and even at that the mid week gigs are a hassle. God love anyone who lives outside Dublin and has to travel/ book time off work. Obviously I know it depends on tour dates for bands etc and that everything cant be at the weekend but we really do seem to get a raw deal here.

Sorry for the rant. I will more than likely get tickets for Vampire Weekend I just wish it was a weekend night

Aw ok I get you.

Maximising profits.

Bands have a cheaper mid week rate. So you book them for cheap and just charge the normal (weekend) price.

I hate pricing of gigs in this country. UK is also high and I see Europe is starting to fall suit. It's what happens when ticketmaster/Live Nation essentially have a monopoly.

Vampire Weekend on the Monday and Foals on the Tuesday. Add two or three up and coming indie bands and that's a decent couple of days

Do they tend to do decent support slots at this? Or will it be the usual case of small Irish band tacked on if it sells well, medium Irish band if it doesn't?

The Vampire Weekend poster does say 'tour, with special guests' so maybe someone decent? The American leg of the tour has Angelique Kidjo, Chicano Batman, Christone 'Kingfish' Ingram, Despot, Richard Pictures, Soccer Mommy and Tinariwen supporting at various shows.

I've only heard of the last two there TBH.

Because the promoters know they will sell well as Ireland is a very popular country for gigs.
They keep the weekend dates for the weaker markets .

it'll be somebody like LE Boom, When Young or another Irish up an coming band. A band that will compliment the main act.

Main thing is that they're cheap. I can't imagine there will be alot to spare from the reasonable ticket price/low capacity gig.

.

Typically it's up and coming Irish, I definitely wouldn't expect anyone significant. In the past there's been All Tvvins, Fangclub, Little Hours, Wyvern Lingo but Frightened Rabbit and Circa Waves did support slots a couple years ago which is not too shabby.

Jesus. Could be in for a ban after that.

Whats the experience at these gigs like? Good sound? Any chance of a food view if your 5ft 4? I know the crowd depends on the act.

We saw Vampire Weekend on our honeymoon in the Hollywood Bowl and it was exceptional, both them and the crowd. I'd love to see them again but money is tight and not sure it can be as good as what we've already experienced. In two minds about it basically.

Just tested out the MCD facebook messenger presale button.

It's pretty simple, click and you're into the presale.

Didn't buy tickets as i'm seeing them at Mad Cool but was straight in no probs.
