Metallica for Slane 2019

It's a long time since I've been to slane. I'm coming on a bus from Drogheda, so that goes to the pink carpark? (or is it blue because that says bus park?)

I've to go to the ticketmaster beside the red taxi drop off point for the snake pit passes, and then back to the blue entrance for my actual tickets.

would that be a ~one hour round trip walking?

I'm apprehensive that a 4:30 bus is cutting it tight for this, does anyone have any pointers?

From Drogheda on the bus I would allow an hour (but it should be quicker, its only 8 miles or so) and then from the pink car park approx 35-45 mins walk. You'd be in the site for about 6-6.30pm

If leaving it later than 5pm then better to go to the taxi rank in Drogheda and try to share with others going via taxi.

Amazing venue tbf

Not too bad, grass a bit rough in sum areas. Anxious enough going up and down the hill but u get used to it ha

Aaah cheers for upload, its giving me the festive summer chills, in just under a fortnight will be arriving on the Body&Soul festival site.

Traffics heavy on the n2, 20k out

What are the options like beer?! Just heino?!

Hope these clouds Just Fade Away, but I know they won't, we're At The Edge of a down pour.....

I was told by a rep that there was Boyne brewhouse beer on tap, maybe it's just in the VIP bar

I met two tourists in Dublin (about 3.30pm) looking to get to Metallica, I had a quick look up but I don't see a way for them to get there. Train to drogehda and taxi? Taxi all the way? Getting back would be a nightmare. Any other services from Dublin? Looks like Marathon and Dublin Bus are sold out.

train to drogheda then taxi to Slane, though they need to leave quick. Should get there before they come on stage at 8pm. Getting back a Dublin Bus inspector should sell them a ticket, they wont be left on the side of the road

Have to laugh at the poor ticket sales comments now. Its rammed

Just in looks like they only sell beer no cider at bars. Only Heineken too. There is a cocktail bar with long queues and a prosecco bar

Prosecco at a Metallica gig... Well I never
