    it started at 8:45 and ended at 10:45 for those wondering.

    ASFOS was on the set list, it was a few songs before Fix You.

    Brilliant overall, first half of show stronger for sure, and we got Everglow so all good

    Great gig, worth all the hassle of trying to find tickets the past few weeks!

    Agree with the poster above, show in 2017 was much better with ALOT more fireworks, stronger setlist also,they have gone a bit overboard on the ECO stuff, plastered everywhere.

    That being said, first part of the show was amazing, really got the crowd going and the light show was pretty cool, kind of drifted a bit in the middle and then kicked into gear again, Sparks was a treat.

    Couple beside us got engaged during yellow which was so nice to witness.

    have to laugh at the eco nonsense. It's the same with f1. The largest emissions comes from all of the fans coming to one place for the weekend.

    If Coldplay were actually concerned for the environment, they'd stay at home 😂

    Ya its a bit OTT, I was in the stands, but after grabbing a bit of loo roll from the toilet, you'd nearly feel obliged to go down and jump on the power bike for a few mins 🤣

    Were the acts on before Coldplay any good?

    To anyone who attended - did Chris Martin mention anything about the charity show?

    Any info on the famous all important “list” that we have to get on, is welcome - dm me please.

    No issues with the Croke Park sound or the views on the night. We were high up in the Davin Stand but still good seats. Traffic getting out was a bit mental. We were heading north for the M1. If you have a way of trying to avoid getting on to the M1 from the Croke Park area use it, took us ages to get back out, eventually coming out by Beamiunt hospital.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,588 ✭✭✭Zardoz


    I wonder did they stop the song and ask everyone to put away their phones lol



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,178 ✭✭✭mollser


    There really is something about that band… I have literally hated that viva la vida song since it was released 15 years ago or whatever, but live it is incredible! One of the very few acts that can get the entire stadiium rocking. I wouldn't be their biggest fan, but that show is brilliant. Great to have it at the end of August so we get the full light show, spectacular!

    They really are the most commercially driven group since U2 - very obvious and cynical play into the various religion markets with "We Pray", one of the worst songs I've ever heard - and we got the extended version🤣



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,093 ✭✭✭markc1184


    Apologies if already asked but is Croke Park cashless similar to the Aviva for drinks etc?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 115 ✭✭TheIrishPC


    They did, but people still recorded anyway anyway. I actually was recording it in my pocket to take out to record during the song, but I must have accidentally hit stop recording when I did that as I only have the pocket recording… loads of fireworks and all



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,393 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    they do take cash in a lot of places - but you need a bit of it as nothing is cheap



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,393 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    yes and thhey did ask to put phones down did help for a while - it should happen more

    Aly Coulibaly was decent, and Maggie Rodgers was great. Personally I think Coldplay should have only had Maggie Rodgers as support, and then they could have started at 8. They easily could do a 2 1/2 hour- 3 hour show with their back catalogue and new stuff

    A mate of mine just told me , His sister went into her TM account just to make sure her 4 tix for Sunday were there.

    They were gone.

    She contacted TM , they told her that her account has 'resold' 163 tickets !!!!.

    Her tix are gone…. TM will reimburse her , but she has no tickets for Sundays gig !!

    ffs…

    We are in the same section 734 Upper Hogan & also would like to know what the view is like as I know with the AC/DC stage set up these seats should have been sold as restricted view….



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 282 ✭✭Lightscribe


    What a great show last night, granted the eco stuff at the start is a bit OTT but the light show and the energy of the band is pretty spectacular.

    I have to say though the phones at gigs thing is mental. Fella close to me spent most of the night broadcasting the show on a video call to somebody at home. When CM asked people to put away their phones loads of them kept recording but sneakily as if he was going to give out to them 😂

    We were in section 336 lower and a lot of the lasers couldn't be fully appreciated as we couldn't see the full effect.

    I wasn't drinking so can't comment on prices etc but the queues for the bars were mental. Also the queue for merchandise was very long but they got through it quick enough.

    Other than that a top class gig.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,588 ✭✭✭Zardoz


    What do you mean by gone, cancelled by TM because she resold too many tickets or someone hacked her account and resold them ?

    163 tickets resold on TM resale, thats a lifetime of concerts.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 544 ✭✭✭argentum


    Was up in that section at one stage last night and the view was fine



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,588 ✭✭✭Zardoz


    Yes I was messing, they do it every show for the last 3 years, its getting a bit cringeworthy at this stage.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,083 ✭✭✭Qprmeath


    3 girls in front of me watched whole gig through their phones. Paying fortunes for tickets to do that, I’ll never ever get it?

    The nature and the enormity of the show with screens etc means there are no bad seats in my opinion?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,006 ✭✭✭laros


    This Site might give you an idea of the view….. https://aviewfrommyseat.co.uk/venue/Croke+Park/seating/concert/?
