    Seen them there few years ago, lovely venue, but being outdoors, sound can be a little iffy in places. Nice city though

    No Ireland date again. :(

    Why do they skip Ireland so much on these euro tours. I mean the have a big fanbase here.

    There's talk of this over on the Pearl Jam thread in rock/metal. It's really more to do with the promoters.

    Yeah it looks like the promoters are the reason. Maybe also because of the muppet that fell /jumped from the upper level the last time they played the 3 Arena.

    Sell Foos tix, keep the flights if they booked, then do the train to London.

    Or if just get flight home day later, 2 bands, min 5.5 hours of good music. You wouldn't regret it.

    foos is on the 19th and we have the apartment booked for the 18th/19th and the fact Waterfords possible championship game is on the 17th June.

    although do they have 24 hours trains in the UK. I could go see PJ on the 18th and get train straight to Manchester after

    any hotel recommdations for London ???. The tube would prob suite me for getting to the o2

    I see last train is 11.30 So that's a no go cos they'll play till after 11.

    Assume nothing is refundable? Always worth seeing pj cos Setlist is varied and Eddie's voice live is amazing

    i swear to god i hate ye all here for giving me ideas lol

    I booked a free cancellation hotel called the King William Hotel in Greenwich for the 18th June. Its about 40 min walk from the arena. I was never in that part of london but hopefully the tube will help me find my way around. Ill fly over the Monday and then get to Euston tuesday morning and go to Manchester

    Next thing now is trying to secure a ticket for the PJ gig

    North Greenwich tube station literally drops you at the arena. You said posted about Olympic stadium previously that's not very far from there :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 693 ✭✭✭danoriordan1402


    Dropped enough hints now in the last couple days for herself to get tic's for Berlin as an Christmas Pressie. My usual PJ pals also heading to Berlin so we will spends a couple of days there anyway ;)

    yeah i remember i could see the o2 when i was getting the tram to statford. ill prob fly into London City Airport. Decided ill buy tickets to this instead of going to one of the 6 nations games. Lots of trains going to manchester

    looking at my TM account there, 18th-23rd June i have Pearl Jam (Maybe), Foo Fighters and then on the Sat 23rd Billy Joel in the Aviva. FFS but unreal too

    Money. Pearl jam don't come cheap, promoters want X amount but given the venues they'd only make Y so they say no.

    Not at all. . PJ decide themselves where they want to play.

    They could play the INEC in killarney if they wanted. Vedder being a wankstain is the issue , not any promoters.

    Anyone heading to the London gig on 16 June. Heading over myself, most likely on my own... Mates aren't big PJ fans so getting them to Dublin would have been a struggle let alone abroad and herself is more a Take That sorta girl than PJ!
