Sugarlumps

How many tickets are they expecting to sell? Would they even shift half?

jack presley

it does seem like a very big venue for them. The top section could be closed though.

RayCon

Tickets are €49.50 - €59.50 plus fees.

Venue is far too big for them ,since Livenation took over MCD they seem to be putting alot of acts into the 3arena that have no real business there .

Yeah, But where else is there, same old question time and time again.

We have Olympia/Vicar St/Academy, all around the 1k-1300 mark and next step up is the point.

Always said that the empty space (if its still there), next to the point, they could build just one large, standing only building. Wouldn't cost that much, infrastructure is all there and bingo, we have a 5k capacity venue that could also be used for trade shows/markets etc

The Bord Gais Theatre is 2100,albeit thats all seated.
The RDS indoor hall holds up to 6,500 ,albeit the acoustics are poor.
Either of these would be better suited than the 3arena .

The Black Crowes are playing the Apollo in Manchester ,capacity 3500 and the Brixton Academy capacity 5000 in the UK.
Its a big jump up here,so you'd think they would use the smaller standing layout with seats to the floor but they seem to be going for the full standing area and seats from row 21 so with the top tier closed they are looking at a capacity of over 10k.
Thats silly.

Thats madness. They're 20k arenas in the US.

What’s the Point’s capacity when the top section is cordoned off?

Guessing around 9-10k with top layer curtained off

Massive fan but will miss the Dublin date, will get to see them in Vegas though, last time they played the Olympia tickets were practically being given away on the day, this should be rerouted to the stadium or Olympia again, they always put on a great show

Seen them in the National Stadium and at Donington in 1991, and the SFX in 95. Great days.

Outlaw Pete

Excellent, never seen them live. Southern Harmony one of my favourite albums of all time.

SFX 95 was first time I saw them still got the harmonica Chris threw out after the intro to p25 London, seem to remember first few songs being fairly sedate then they woke up, almost like they were on something:rolleyes:

Sound was very crackly for the first few songs if I remember correctly.

lol. I did see them so as I was at Feile '91.

In my defense I might have been a little inebriated though :P

Man, what a fcukin day that was....Black Crowes opening, then a nice beer break for Queensryche, then Crue, Metallica and ACDC.

Pisses all over what Donington has now become

I was going to buy tickets in the presale yesterday, and was asked to hold off... and I did :mad:
because a couple weren't sure. Now it seems only tickets available are block G.
Are they holding tickets back/are more likely to reappear, or is it likely all other seats sold out does anyone know?

My overriding memory of seeing this band aside was getting on a bus to the South Circular Road, Ireland were 1-3 up against Poland away. When I was getting off the bus to go to the National Stadium I asked the bus driver for the score and it was 3-3. Cost us a place in the Euro's that time. It was a decent album. The square polystyrene roof tiles didn't really suit the bluesy rock.

Has anyone heard anything about this gig/tour? I can only assume that its going to be postponed but I don't recall getting any communications from Ticketmaster about it. Anyone got any info on it? Cheers!

Nothing's been announced but it's definitely not going ahead. Only waiting on whether it's going to be postponed or cancelled. My guess is that it will be put back until October '21 but we'll wait and see.

Only thing i could find recently......i'd expect the European dates to follow suit, and a post from MCD soon enough.;)

Aye, was only reading that yesterday! It referred to the NA tour but its a safe bet that the Euro tour will follow suit. Just thought it was a bit strange not to have heard anything at this stage.

Cheers for the replies!

^ got a refund .... I'll (hopefully) be in Holland watching Opeth's 30th Anniversary Tour at the time of the Dublin gig.

Brilliant Gig last night from the opening chords of Twice as Hard to the encore. Worth the 3 year wait !

Chris Robinsons was in fine form, some front man. Remedy was a particular highlight for me.

Crowd was on the low side numbers wise which made it comfortable to get close to the stage.

I'm guessing the upper tiers were blocked off

The 3Arena will try get all they can and a few shows will def be low in numbers. Alter Bridge, Volbeat and Nightwish def will be a scaled back layout

Never heard of the band before this tour was announced but they are pretty good, didn't make it to the show

dasdog

Saw them what seems like eons ago when they played the national stadium. First gig I went to by myself as a teenager and I was hoping three would send out a promotion or something as I knew it would not sell out but nothing.

Low crowd numbers sounds great. I prefer it that way.
