Ozzy and Black Sabbath

icarus86

Not an Irish gig but may be of interest to some here. Big names taking part by the look of it.

love to, but not a hope i can afford it, enjoy folks, any idea of prices?

Tempted to book a flight now but I reckon the livenation site will collapse when the tickets go on sale and I'll miss out.

tis risky alright, but tickets 'might' become available after the fact….

Lower Holte Stand Unreserved Seats. I've never been to Birmingham never mind Villa Park. I would expect huge demand for this given that lineup and I'll try and get to it.

What a lineup, hotel prices shot up as expected

Same weekend as Oasis return in Cardiff

Cheapest was £120 for the night which is not bad but very little 'free cancellation' places are those prices

Was at Sabbath in the Three Arena 8 years ago, Ozzy was better than I expected, but he seems to have gone downhill since then.

Great line up, can't afford it but would try if I had the funds.

COH

What do we reckon tickets for this will cost?

Heard somewhere that prices will start at £175, as $harron is involved she would have signed off on 'Dynamic Pricing' so suddenly those £175 tickets are £400.

High Chance Ozzy will pull out, something Don Arden should have done 70odd years ago

PTH2009

Which pre sales are available and we're to sign up ?

Seeing that it’s listed as Black Sabbath|Ozzy Osbourne. Will Ozzy be doing 2 sets? Hard to see it.

in press release it says he will do two short sets.

If it really is the final show this time and Ozzy is only doing a short set wouldn’t it be amazing if Gillan, Hughes and Martin came on a sang a song or two from their time in the band. Although It will never happen because Sharon would never allow it.

Flying from Belfast to Brum with easyjet is another option.

I'm going to try and get a gig ticket first, then look at flights and hotel.

I imagine ‘dynamic pricing’ will be the order of the day. I’ll make my mind up when I see the lie of the land closer to the date.

In the meantime I’ll console myself with memories of a fully fit Ozzy in McGonagle’s…

COH

Booked a hotel earlier just in case I can get tickets. Two nights + free cancellation for €440

Same hotel/room is now €1350 now (pay up front) 🙃

furiousox

Jesus!

I might end up sleeping on the airport floor 🙄

T.V Eye

Anyone else have Ozzy tickets for the 3Arena years back. Fairly sure it was postponed several times during a 3 year period. Shame, but hopefully he can do a few songs at least and go out on a high.

Not a chance I'll get a ticket but be nice if we get a live stream or it's on Sky Arts later because that's some lineup.

Ash.J.Williams

This gig is such a dream gig that it looks like Waterford whispers 😀

Well deserved though they truly are the GOAT

they wrote all the riffs , we're just recycling them ever since

klose

No chance of a ticket for this but I’d happily even pay for a stream of it, metal heads dream of a day out that!

Wooderson

Is Ozzy not in bits? Could be a cringe buzz.

Wanderer78

starting at about 100 sterling, according to the internets….

Gates open at 12.00 and curfew is 22.30

Wanderer78

keep us informed on overall costs folks, be interested to know….

Ozzy is wheelchair bound according to loudersound.com? 🙄

“As you may all know, four years ago, this month, I had a major accident, where I damaged my spine,” The Prince Of Darkness wrote on social media. “My one and only purpose during this time has been to get back on stage.

“My singing voice is fine. However, after three operations, stem cell treatments, endless physical therapy sessions, and most recently groundbreaking Cybernics (HAL) Treatment, my body is still physically weak.”

As his wife and manager Sharon Osbourne recently explained, the singer’s health issues have only worsened since then. She told The Sun that he can no longer walk as a result of Parkinson’s, despite his voice still being in top form. This has doubtlessly all played into Ozzy’s decision to retire from the stage after Back To The Beginning.

Gives an idea of what seating will be like, wouldn't fancy been stuck at the top with a 'restricted view'

Wembley Stadium would of been ideal for this but suppose it's a 'hometown' show
