Have to laugh at the clowns still looking €300 for a ticket on adverts, when there's probably close to 100 unsold tickets at €240 or less.

Is she driving?

If so, hate to say it but the simplest thing she can do is two trips,
trip 1 - tent/sleeping bag type thing, head in get the wrist band etc...
trip 2 - go back for the heavier items so that she can breeze through the already checked in queue.

Yes she is ,its looking like this will be the solution,they have a gazebo and 2 tents so alot of stuff ,I'll go through her stuff later with her andvtry cut it down a bit more

using the office label maker to make "VODKA!!" stickers for bottles that look like water counts as "working" today, right?

5 of them?

Multiple trips best approach, that way they don't kill themselves doing it all at once.

What's the verdict on how best to manage your phone/keys/wallet etc. when in the arena - trendy fannypack?

I find my girlfriends handbag is the best option. Won't give her the cash though... asking for trouble!

bd2012 · 01-09-2016 09:39AM

Any vapers here? First time going as a vaper (haven't been since 2010), 30ml dropper bottles allowed into the arena yay or nay?

Very very similar to mine. But you're skipping ABC? They've been doing The Lexicon of Love on their tour, not one to miss. Have a great weekend, have enjoyed your posts.

There will be loads of lads to give them a hand im sure. They will be fine.
I will if i see them, sleeping in the car so i will only have myself to carry in.......mmmmm well maybe that wont be an option depending on consumtion of alcohol!!!!
Best of luck!!!!

Yeah i've got mates arriving at around that time and the plan is to meet at the Salty Dog. So i'm gonna bring the camping chair and a few cans down and a have a bit of a sit before the madness begins!

Enjoy your weekend man, i'll probably bump into you unwittingly at some point :P

Yeah if their thing is your type of thing then definitely.

Check out their setlists to see if you'd be into them i guess.

Go and see them, well worth it.
I've caught them live a few times over the years- the first being at Reading in 1997 (I think) Was mad out of it on micro-dots and recall thinking that Gruff Rhys and the lads were singing in Chinese!!! (That was some drive home after that weekend- the fkn horrors!!!)

Reliably great. Finale with them in animal costumes doing The Man Don't Give a Fu*k is always a highlight.

Can't recommend enough, going to be one of the best of the weekend, such an under rated band. And they are fantastic live, give it socks. Can't wait to see them, going to there Olympia gig in November too

Excellent, thanks a million. Will bring a couple of unicorn bottles just in case.

lynchy · 01-09-2016 10:15AM

Those photos have made me very excited. Still have so much work to do and get to Dundrum later for last bits of gear.

Does anyone have the link to the Heineken offie, Do you know if it's too late to buy
