    My dope of a brother evidently...

    Got a replacement sorted, have it in the mail by tomorrow thank god. The guy on the phone had a little chuckle at my story. Was surprisingly easy and only a 6 euro fee.

    So can anyone get a ticket replacement then?

    I'm looking to buy a ticket for a friend and I'm a bit nervous about buying from someone with a replacement or fake ticket.

    Friday is very light for me. Nothing I really wanna see, so plenty of wandering around to be done.
    Saturday sees the clash of Pete Tong / Interpol / PSB
    Sunday sees the clash of Chaka Khan / Parquet Courts / Band of Horses

    Where are Band of Horses, Daithi and Birdy? I can't even find Daithi listed anymore, was he ever performing or did I dream the whole thing?

    I spent months convinced franz ferdinand and edward sharpe were playing. I was telling people how great they were and everything. Only realised a few weeks ago that they aren't even listed. I obviously dreamt it. I'm still upset about it! :)

    For free too- I'd gladly send a few shillings your way for the effort

    Where's the Logic stage? Daithí is playing it Sunday although it's early ish at 9pm. Used of seeing him in some small stage at 1 or 2am after the main stages are finished.

    Yeah seems a little dodgy tbh, the barcodes are different on the new one as well so first ticket is void

    just downloaded it,on a conference call for work so that killed a few mins, excellent app, I'll be getting rid of the official one.

    Not sure how it's done in Clashfinder so can someone move the Cosby Stage up to a more prominent position in the list of Stages?
    It should be under the Electric Arena.

    Quite happy with Friday currently:
    Kick off with Booka Brass band at 4pm.
    Hudson Taylor,
    London Grammar
    The XX.

    Saturday afternoon is relatively light, then:
    OtherKin
    Riptide Movement
    Madness
    Jagwar ma/ Birdy
    Mr. Jukes
    Phoenix
    Annie Mac
    Pete Tong
    There are some clashes but not my must sees so I'll be grand. Might even find time to eat.

    Sunday is a nightmare of clashes, I will be flipping between the Main stage and EA all day:
    Dublin Gospel Choir
    Kila
    KKC
    Rag'n'Bone Man / Bears Den - bah
    Pretenders / Michael Kiwanuka
    Chaka Khan / Band of Horses
    Elbow / Fr. John Misty - disaster
    Duran Duran / Soulwax / Kiasmos / Pond

    and that's not counting the other acts I would like to get to see but know I won't get near them.
    Its still shaping up to be an awesome weekend.

    You are most welcome.

    The only problem is that 90% of my itinerary is bloody clashes.

    Just seen the deadline for ordering cans has passed. Can you just buy them down there?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 317 ✭✭eplady2017


    Pink Moon have just put up their information pack online.. http://us10.campaign-archive2.com/?u=b7bee5bea5bd8336c58fab3d4&id=92803fddb9

    Seems what we expected regarding parking is what's gonna happen.. Early entry is to the green car park...

    "Early Entry customers will be directed to park in the Green Car Parks, off the N80 and will enter via Gate 7 (Paintball Gate). Car parks will be open from 3.30pm on Thursday 31st August for Early Entry customers."

    How big is the green car park?? Any chance it could be full by 11/12 on Friday morning???

    No.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,539 ✭✭✭ghostdancer


    all the Sunday cars go into the Green carpark I think, so would they even open it for Friday arrivals?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 925 ✭✭✭adam240610


    I think I left booking a bus home a bit late, the only times available are 8am on monday morning to dublin...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,728 ✭✭✭Former Former



    Based on 2015 and 2016, everyone should have this app loaded before setting off. It is absolutely brilliant.

    Well done again Pablo.

    Meet me at the 2fm gig and I'll buy you a beer.

    In my experience, the times have never mattered. I booked my bus to leave Dublin @ 8am, went out the night before, rocked up about 10am instead and was no issues whatsoever.

    Same for any big gigs eg Slane etc.

    The time you book doesnt necessarily have to be the one you get on.

    Just a bit worried if we do book earlier bus tickets and we're turned away the two of us would have no way to get back to dublin

    You are very welcome. You know damn well that I won't be at the 2fvckingmuch gig. London grammar ftw.

    Met Eireann giving us a dry three days

    No more weather talk until at least Thursday evening. You all keep throwing out conflicting reports and you're screwing with my emotions!

    Who are you booking with? Marathon coaches dont ask for a certain time on the way back if I recall. Either way nobody is going to leave you stranded in Stradbally. I didnt follow any of the times for any gigs hahaha, never an issue.

    On the way in and back its a case of getting onto 'the next bus available'

    Do you think anyone makes their arranged bus on a Monday? :pac:

    Honestly I wouldnt worry - sure last year they werent even checking us getting on the bus, they were just letting anyone on.

    Am afraid not. But the mobile version of clashfinder works pretty well even offline. No reminders, so stay sober.

    Unfortunately not. Not enough time to fix it and get it through the review process. You're just going to have to buy a decent phone.
