One more sleep till tickets go on sale.
You would imagine enticing people into arena is a good thing, apart from creating atmosphere, people are spending, buying merchandise, food, drink etc, personally speaking if there's nothing on in the arena early doors I'm happy to sit outside my tent with friends having a few tins, and I've only really started doing that at ATN, at EP I was always in arena by 1 or so, because there was always something on, whether it was body and soul, or casa bacardi, or main stage for Dublin Gospel Choir etc. I know there is brunch at bandstand and a few other bits that start earlier in day at ATN but there could be a little bit more
Has anyone successfully booked a massage? Booking engine keeps failing for me.
It wouldn’t accept my Wise debit card. Worked with my wife’s Bank of Ireland Mastercard.
Email about resale being open on Ticketmaster. Option still not live on the TM page for ticket though.
Any idea if it's close to or likely to sell out?
Just remembered my Revolut card which is Mastercard and it worked.
Seems the issue is with Visa.
Guess if there's a decent weather report a week out it may.
Good enough lineup
Has it sold out previously?
Yeah I think in 2019 and then they had that traffic chaos on the Friday. Looks like it sold out on 2022 too just near end of July.
I got that email also as ive a ticket im not using and the option to resell it wasn’t working so i got onto their chat and the said to disregard the email 🤨
Is there a main Clashfinder being worked on? I realise it's probably too early for a completed one yet.

Been updated by a few helpful boardsies!
Excellent, cheers!
Feels waaaay too early to be looking at the clashfinder, it's typically the week leading up to the festival, 3+ weeks out, the excitement is killing me
So over the next 3 weeks, what's left to drop?
More music announcements? The sitemaps? The traffic plan? The official app announcement & timetable?
The festival isn't sold out so you'd imagine there will be a big push on the socials to build excitement, I also wonder if there's another act or two to be announced, is there any obvious gaps in the timetable?
I'm just noticing that Bill Brewster is on Ping Pong Disco, completely missed that announcement.
That's huge for this punter!
Have been hearing a good few radio ads for it over the last week which may suggest they're still looking to shift a good amount.
Confidence Man on Lovely Days seems odd, feels like that stage is far too small for them. They filled The Other Stage at Glastonbury last week.
Lovely days is a pretty decent size though, the fact that it's an outdoor stage gives plenty of space. That said, I do think they'll draw a massive crowd.
Im not sure how you equate ATN with EP, but i saw that no Pink Moon tents are marked as sold out for ATN, whereas with EP certain options can be gone within hours
The last sell out was with a reduced capacity too, I think it's hard to call this one tbh. Numbers seemed pretty healthy last year anyway and I think the prodigy will make a good few minds up. Actually in terms of acts, I think this year is the most "mainstream" that they've had so far, maybe most accessible would be a better word.
The first ATN had some sort of Beatles tribute act on early on the main stage one of the days, around midday. General camping was up on a hill with a great view of the main stage. The weather was savage and loads of people watched that act in the campsite from the comfort of their camping chairs with breakfast beers. Halcyon days!!
In fairness to ATN and the sound crews, having a later start gives the sound crews a better chance of getting things right, there's usually a disaster or two sound wise (it happens, anywhere), that the crews are up all night trying to sort.
Any word on whether Arcadia will be open on the Thursday?
It's there on clashfinder for Thursday but not filled out yet. I believe it was open last year with Arcadia residents playing.
Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for again, bit of drum 'n bass last year was great.
Yeah last year on the Thursday Arcadia, the Bandstand and I think the tent near the big Guinness bar (opposite the bandstand) were open. It was actually brilliant craic on the Thursday. Have gone down around 5pm on Thursday the last two years and would highly recommend it. Lovely feeling being up, fed and showered before most people have even arrived on the Friday.
Any word on public transport options yet? I've been keeping an eye on Bus Éireann but no sign of the ATN special route so far.

Yet they got the sound so wrong last year.
I'd love a bit of day music too but to be fair I went for jealous of the birds on the main stage at 4pm last year and it was like a ghost town even though it was lovely and sunny and they sounded great.
Anyone that was there last year.. I can't find a site map online but found the planning application map for this year.
Am I right in saying the Lovely Days stage is where there was previously a tent - like midway between bandstand and main arena? Arcadia looks to have moved as well, I just can't place in my head where it is, did they open up more of a space for Arcadia and Ealu le Gra area?
