Coldplay - Dublin 2024 - Update Post 1 on Toutless

Can't say have much motivation for this now after that Oasis sale

Excellent gig yesterday, and a great atmosphere.

I was in Davin stand, at the bottom of the upper tier. Whilst it was far back, I would happily go back to the exact same spot for another night if I could get a ticket. People were taking occasional photos or quick videos, but no-one had their phone out for more than a few seconds at a time near me.

I'd agree that 2017 was a bit better. Could argue that the set list issue was on me for not really following the newer stuff. I thought the Crowd in Pitch B were ok but agree that the phones recording everything were mad. Even when he stopped A Sky Full of Stars and restarted it, asking everyone to put their phones away, I'd say 10-20% just kept them out and couldn't help themselves. A few snaps here and there are good but jeez, its gotten so endemic at gigs these days. At Taylor Swift, there were girls recording the entire thing.

My only real complaint was that the end of the gig is very anticlimactic and flat. Fix You as the third last song has the energy to close out the show. It felt like the crowd weren't too pushed on the last two songs and it kind of petered out.

The new song We Pray I thought was brilliant.

Great gig though and anyone going will have an amazing time.

Mullingar.

The train from/to Maynooth is easy, and there's plenty of parking at the station. Cut out driving through Dublin completely

Also looking for parking recommendations, please, this time coming from Cork. Looking for alternatives to the Red Cow P&R, as the last time I left my car there it was damaged by someone trying to break into it.

What a special night that was, they put on such a good show. Every sensory is overloaded. Getting the crowd involved. Chris is such a great showman.

I’ve been on here last few weeks asking about trying to get on pitch. I’ve been auto refreshing TM daily every 15mins.

I lucked out with a Pitch ticket last week on resell and was hopeful would get another, but as the time got closer I bit bullet and got another platinum ticket in 318 section. This was all to be a surprise for wife 40th.

Was humming and hawing about what to do, risk trying to get onto pitch and if fail then we are separated. So ended up by fluke seeing someone on Reddit who had a ticket in 319 section just across from me but didn’t know what row it was. I drove to clondalkin to swap Pitch for her ticket. And it was only when we got to gig we copped that both tickets were in Row CC. I also was relieved that row C was not low down by pitch but actually back toward exit to bars and on the aisle so was on band level.
we sussed out both seats about 5mins before band came on stage and realised yeah only 30 seats between the two separate seats. Everyone was already in situ so I stood up and asked everyone would they mind moving across one seat and then we could sit together, which they all did! It made it all the more amazing and thanked everyone. Was such a high after that. Weeks trying to get tickets together and be complete fluke I was able to match us up on same row. Was meant to be!

Was anyone able to get a ticket last minute?

Did u try the train from cork to Dublin Heuston?

Or get train in from Portlaoise. 40 mins on the cork train.

Red Cow is also a good option as you have done already.

I’ve no account for those poxy yokes but I suppose I could open up an account. Thanks for the suggestion. Seems like the rest of the experts on here that know the answer everything(even how to run the country) couldn’t answer my simple question. Thanks again

There are spaces to lock your bike outside the Cusack stand turnstiles, over in the corner. I've used them in the past for Dublin matches. There'll be loads of stewards about so should be pretty safe

That moment has come back to me today once or twice.

I think you're right that it'll haunt him for a while. It was very very harsh on the poor fella.

Yep. That's exactly it. As soon as we came in the gate, on the right was a "Pitch B" gate to follow.

Use the app!

I got one at 5pm on Friday using the TM App on my phone having tried non stop the previous 24 hours and being locked out on suspicion of being a bot.

I heard the show note for note from my garden Thursday and FOMO grabbed me by the throat to get a ticket for Friday. I mean this genuinely - the numbers sound edgier, bassier and rockier outside Croker than inside.
