Have seen RHCP three times live - Never there to see them, always support or other act. Each time they were terrible. Phoning it in.

The Nal · 15-05-2018 06:48PM

Hmmm 70000 people expected downgraded to 60000 now.

Just noticed there is a tribute band called "The Rolling Stoned" playing the Academy on Friday night.

Tickets cost... wait for it... €33 a pop. THIRTY THREE EURO.

That is f**kin insane

They also played the Phoenix Park in 2004 which was dreadful and Oxegen in 2006. Which was dreadful.

The radio stations here for some reason played Universally Speaking on repeat for 5 years which brainwashed the masses. Trump tactics. Just repeat repeat and people will like it.

Look at the crowd here. Its like we just won the World Cup. People from Cavan and Longford going APESH!T.

What's the problem with a song translating well to an audience live?

I've seen the Chilis a few times....Wouldn't be my favourite band but, the song is a good live song and gets people bouncing one way or the other

What exactly is wrong with that? And why does it matter if people from Cavan or Longford were at that gig?

Someone filmed a bit from the soundcheck today, It just a bit of the screens. Can see sections 336, 335 and half of 334 are gone and so is upper 736, 735 and 734. I'm in 334 so I just hope my seat made the cut :P

I managed to swap my seating tickets for some gold circle tickets, really excited now.

Assume there wont be any ID check as the name on my new tickets isn't mine.

They've been harping on about this 'smaller than A4/A5' size bag since the Manchester bombing but I've never seen them actually strictly enforce it. We were at the Hans Zimmer gig in the Point just after that and they were making people with backpacks put them in a locker type set up they had outside. That was the only gig I've ever seen bags being taken off people. .

Yeah I was at one in the point eddie vedder ,they dumped all the handbags around the side of the building and the contents in a bin bag. After the concert we had to dig through for them in the puddles.
No security keeping an eye on them you could have walked away with any of them you wanted. I haven't gone to an aiken concert since and don't intend to ever again. Utter contempt shown for the concert goers

I had heard the same thing from the Michael Bolton concert around the same time. Only in this instance a load of bags were stolen!

...... For the record I was not at this concert! Haha.

With the number of tickets still available for Croker, the cost will be around the same for the real band!

so according to Wikipedia The Police sold out Croke Park on an October night in 2007 on there reunion tour

Is this True ??

delbertgrady · 16-05-2018 06:05AM

Yes. And it was awesome.

Jimmy Bottlehead · 16-05-2018 07:33AM

The app isn't showing any tickets available, but the website will let me choose tickets and get to the end of the transaction before giving me a 20010 error...

Any idea what this is about? Its hardly a late sell out?

That's a bit harsh on Aiken, since it was an MCD event.

RolandGoose · 16-05-2018 09:40AM

Same as that,

Best available - gold circle €187.85

Pitch standing available too - €77. 30

hooch-85 · 16-05-2018 10:31AM
