4 years ago on the pitch, there were vendors walking around selling wine and beers.

There were concession stands open as well but for those in the pit, there was eff all open.
I had no access to merchandise. and there was one food and drink stand open in the small section behind the stage.
That and the awkward walk around the stadium to to get in to the pit was a complete pain, especially that it was
chucking rain at the time. I'm still baffled that the stewards would not let us go alongside the (East?) side
beside Elverys to get into the pit section. It's the same again this time too.

I had purchased a live CD that was to be collected after the show but could not gain access to the area.
That was a bit of a pain but they posted one out to me in the end.

Just got a single ticket there on Ticketb*st*rd in Block 104, although MCD says sold out.

He always puts on a good show. The prospect of it being a Saturday and with sunshine and a sh*tload of red wine, too much of a guilty pleasure to miss.

There are definitely still tickets available. Friend of mine was able to buy 2 in Block 105 the other day. I was wondering maybe if they were wheelchair spaces or something though?

Weird isn't it that there's still tickets that close to the stage?

It's weird the way this gig sold out relatively quickly but the one from a few years ago didn't despite coming off the back of a big #1 hit Candy. I suppose the economy has improved a lot and at this stage of his career new material really doesn't matter. It is amazing he is still able to sell out stadiums after 20+ years as a solo artist and well past his prime. Usually only rock acts can keep that level of popularity off the back of reputation of a live act and back catalogue. Apart from Madonna what other pop stars are still doing stadium tours this long into their career I wonder.

Yes, agree with this. Also think his voice is gone. He was wayyyy off the pitch at the Manchester benefit concert.

I think he was in between gigs in fairness. Had just played two nights earlier. I wouldn't be worried.

Tried for 2 there and offered these.

Sec BLK527
Row CC, Seats 11-12
?69.50 ea
Buy
U16'S WITH 18+, HIGH-UNSUITABLE FOR VER ...
Full Price Ticket
TICKET PRICE ?69.50 x 2
SERVICE CHARGE ?6.85 x 2
SUBTOTAL (Full Price Ticket) ?152.70

True though, tickets went fast while Phil Collins are still available but I think more expensive, but Phil Collins has not been here nearly as much in recent times.

Tickets are going below face on seatwave, but might be slightly over with their fees included -but take into account the TM usual fees of 6.85

I presume once you have a pit ticket you can go in there at any time? You don't have to go in early as such?
Any suggestions for parking and train from Southside?
Or would there be parking up near ballsbridge if we went early?

Unless it's massively overbooked which I doubt, you'll be fine turning up whenever as I imagine it's a set entrance etc.

If you have to drive its 50/50 on the best plan whether to get a train or park nearby. You can park off Baggot Street or Ringsend but if you're not early enough, it can be a legitimate nightmare trying to get any type of parking space (as I've found driving to rugby matches, which I just don't do anymore as you can end up circling for a long time).

Alternatively, you could just park at Salthill and Monkstown or Blackrock (the former has more parking) and get the DART in but as I said before, queues on the way back are chaotic and slow but if you're not too rushed I'd do that.

Lots of extra security for the Ireland game at the Aviva yesterday, restriction on bag size allowed in etc., all bags searched. MCD will probably release info in the coming days.

Yep. There are pitch standing tickets and pit tickets. They were sold as separate ticket types.

Oh yeah I got pit tickets myself, I just didn't get why it's only Dublin that had the pit setup.

So far any pics I've seen of his UK shows there hasn't been a pit. Is there definitely a pit in Dublin?

Oh you're much better off. The queues to get into the dart station generally start at the bottom of roads behind barriers that you've just walked up past. And the darts won't leave til they're full so it can be an age waiting.

10-20 minute walk into town otherwise so if you're heading back to town, walking is the best

Agreed. I wouldn't even bother trying for a bus, just walk it, along with the thousands of others doing the same singing their hearts out!!

Yeah, I vaguely remember something about that the last time, droves of people arriving at the dart station. Think we may have walked back into town.

I haven't been to a gig in the Aviva since when it was still called Landsdowne Road. How are people getting there? Buses from town?

Erasure do a 45 minute set.

ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚ wooops!! This is what happens when I go between too many gig threads!!

Aviva curfew, not Croker!!

Can't see him being onstage before 8.45/9pm unless Croke Park curfew has changed.

I'd imagine doors will be at 6, probably warm up at 7-7.30 and show at 8.

Usually they release stage times in the week of the gig so should know for certain next week.

Very hard to gauge what time people will queue from these days. Some camp overnight, some arrive during the night and others waltz in in time for the gates to open!

Stage times and safety info will be released next week so it'll all be clearer then.

Anyone know what time to start queueing? We're in standing - missed out on the pit by seconds... grrr

Do the doors open at 6pm or is that when the music starts? It's been about 10 years since I've been to a concert if ye hadn't guessed...

Cheers thanks! Had checked it yesterday but hadn't been updated. Bit of a mixed bag there. Wonder will he change it a bit before Dublin.

He's going to do a Joe Dolan number anyway.
