Not sure whether to bite or wait until the line ups are revealed....

Jaysus, The National have so many fans in Ireland

No they're not, I literally just bought a two-standing ticket using the Ticketmaster app. Saturday standing still available on app too.

Today was payday so I took that as a sign to just go say "fúck it" and splurge for the two days.

Bought a single day ticket yesterday for the Saturday...trying getting in to the habit of heading to concerts alone!

Of bands that would be of the same ilk, I'd take War On Drugs, Bon Iver and Frightened Rabbit as support acts!

one man clappin · 13-10-2017 1:58pm

How strict would they be on the day with regard to going to pitch instead of going to a seat?
Only seating available for Saturday.

xkat11 · 13-10-2017 2:49pm

1 ticket for Friday bought!

It baffles me how I know noone that likes the National...

Bon Iver would be ideal as guests... but it's probably a longshot!

There's still standing available as of right now....

As for your question I don't think anyone knows at this stage but you'd have to assume that they would enforce it.

The layout is pretty strange with the stage at the end and the stand on the left. Can't imagine that the views would be that great, particularly if your up the back or towards the other end.

ghostdancer · 13-10-2017 3:42pm

it's not really that strange, it's basically like any stadium gig, except only using 1 stand. it'd be like a Croker gig but with the Hogan/Davin closed.

It seems very strange considering that the capacity is supposed to be only 10,000.
Surely it would be more logical to put the stage opposite the stand .

Surprised to see this selling so well already...

.. logged onto pickup presale tickets last night and saw they were €80 a pop and thought no, I'll wait to see support.

Definitely will get to see them somewhere next year though.

Musicfan86 · 13-10-2017 11:23pm

Hey guys new to this site,

Bought two standing tickets for the Saturday, just realised I cant make it, willing to sell them at face value if anybody is interested.

Thanks!

Pm sent and fingers crossed :-)

There appears to still be plenty of tickets left for both nights, just picked up pitch standing 2 day tickets.

ghostdancer · 23-10-2017 4:34pm

they've just announced a London gig with this support, obviously we won't get Future Islands now, but TWOD and Warpaint would be fantastic:

Nice! Quite decent support! Would the same support acts be on for both dates do we think?

ghostdancer · 23-10-2017 5:00pm

I doubt it, probably different acts each day, given that they were selling 2-day tickets.

RastaRed · 15-11-2017 11:00pm

Anyone got any idea when the support acts will be announced? praying for war on drugs

lc180 · 16-11-2017 9:51am

No idea on the support acts but I have own wishlist. War on Drugs would be amazing but reckon they'll get their own Iveagh Gardens gig. I'm hoping for the likes of Local Natives, Mac Demarco, Real Estate, Sylvan Esso, Alex G and Daughter. A few of these have toured with them in the past.

Plague Maiden · 16-11-2017 9:52am

Is this sold out?

It's more likely the support will be along the lines of Lisa Hannigan or This Is The Kit

Long-time fan but I think I'll give this gig a miss. The price is a total piss-take

I'm hoping & thinking it'll be bigger names. After all Future Islands are supporting on the Sun.

€76 doesn't seem expensive, considering I'd pay €50 or €60 just for The National. For an extra €16 or so I get a full summer day out in the sun & hopefully some decent support.....

Future Islands aren't supporting, they're playing their own show on the Sunday.

Feck, you're right. Ok, it's lounge around in the (hopefully) sun until The National play so....

nope.
the www1. website seems to have some glitch for Saturday tickets all morning though, can't get through to complete ticket purchase using it, but it works if you change it to the old site (www.).
no problems using the app.

No point saying that until the support is actually announced.

A good support act is something that should be expected, not something we have to pay extra for. I'm sorry but the price is taking the piss, last outdoor gig here was around €45

But this is going to be a full day thing, with 5/6 support acts. Bands starting at about 3pm or so. I'm treating it like a day ticket for a festival which is in or around the price point normally.

The National are also one of the biggest bands in the world right now, I just don't see the point in giving out until everything is announced.

I mean if the announcement arrives and it's just 2 local support acts, I'll be pissed off but right now it's pointless.

It's like giving out that their setlist was too short...before they've even played it.

One of the biggest bands in the world, really? Yet the day they headlined Longitude was the only day that didn't sell out. The National may be big within indie circles but to call them one of the biggest bands in the world is plain wrong.

Where did you see that 5 or 6 support acts would be added? If there's some great acts that justify the price why not just announce them. Surely the aim is to shift tickets.

Based on the actual info we have right now- not speculation or hope- the ticket price is a piss-take, IMO
