    I've not seen it before but apparently it's located opposite Gill's pub on the North Circular Road.

    What a show! Great build up and useful information in this thread. My 13 year old now has high expectations from future gigs!

    Nobody on Friday unless I blacked out for it 😂

    I was a little cynical before going, the setlist seemed to heavy on the new stuff for me and I felt the whole lights thing would be a bit of a gimmick, but that was brilliant

    Having heard so much about "the show" it was actually much simpler than I'd anticipated and was just about the music, and they have some great music. First time I've been sat for a gig in Croker, the crowd looks amazing from the top tiers. The crowd was in fine voice too, great to hear. And the sound seemed spot on from where we were, I know people say it isn't always there

    Great night 🙂

    Hoping to get two tickets tonight….what are my chances??



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51 ✭✭MVR2021


    Would any of you know if box office can was selling seated tickets?



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


    Got a genuine message in a group chat this morning looking for €1000 for 2 early entry pitch tickets. You can expect what the response from the group was to the message...

    Was gonna ask if anyone else found it horrendous trying to get home after the concert? I don't know if it was because it was Sunday but you would think public transport would be upped the fact there was a concert. Long waits for taxis, long waits for Dublin bus. The bus I was on was massively overcrowded to the point people were nearly passing out. Bus driver wouldnt tell people to get off either so if it wasn't for kind volunteers getting off, it wouldnt have taken us anywhere. Accident on the quays so bus had to take a detour and the driver got lost. Concert was amazing. Trying to get home was very difficult.

    I got a southbound DART last night from Connolly at 23.42. Platform was rammed and I thought they wouldn't get everyone onto it, but they did. There was another DART just after midnight too, both northbound and southbound.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,585 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


    I got a green line Luas home fairly easily after the gig. It was packed but no real issues.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 503 ✭✭✭Annani


    yeah we had a mare getting home. We live Northside about 30 minutes bus from Croke park but because of the diversions we walked into town to the bus stop start and it took until 11.45 for a bus to arrive. Several other buses keep disappearing off the board.

    We were lucky to get on board and get a seat. It was then full all the way home and we passed hundreds of people waiting at bus stops on the route home. We didn’t get home til 1.15 which should have been a 30 minute journey.

    Yeah, Dublin bus was probably the biggest issue. No extra buses put on it seemed and running on a regular Sunday schedule. In my direction at least. Reason bus was so packed was apparently next one wasn't scheduled for another 50 minutes. Driver also skipped a stop even though the stop button was on and people were dropped off miles away from where they needed to be. To put it into context, I looked at my watch when I was leaving Croke Park and it was 10.38. I got home at 1.10am. No exaggeration.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16 Lavenderhaze


    Yeah it was the exact same experience for me. I know the diversions didn't help but I think next time if I can help it, I will avoid booking Sunday night for a concert for the sake of getting home without too much stress.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 423 ✭✭smilgy


    Thinking of parking in Connolly station, how good/bad idea would that be in terms of leaving after the show? Not too worried about getting in as will be parking the car before 15.00.

    Maybe just me, but I thought the exiting of the venue was absolutely awful. I've been to a good few stadium concerts but CP has to be the very worst at exiting.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,585 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


    I was in Pitch B and it was a serious funnel at the exit alright. A less polite crowd and it could have been a bit of a crush.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,486 ✭✭✭Mrs Shuttleworth


    It was seriously packed in there on Friday night, I'm not saying I felt panicky but if anything had gone wrong there could have been a serious incident. I wasn't at Glastonbury or EP this year but CP on Friday felt similar to the overpacking mentioned on those threads.

    CP have this really weird exiting system that you can't turn right out of the stadium and go back up Jones Road and onto Clonliffe Road - you have to go the opposite direction down Fitzroy Avenue and Mabel Street, and then turn right back onto Clonliffe Road, both tiny narrow streets with terraced houses with no front gardens. I mean WTF is that all about? Why can't you just turn right onto Clonliffe Road which at that exact junction doesn't have any residential houses to the front to disturb (only the priests training school)?

    I was fine this time getting home. I learned from experience not to get the 15 home from Croke Park so I went a different route to how I got there. Phoenix Park is the worst I've experienced getting home from a gig though, similar to what people above have described.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,077 ✭✭✭chases0102


    Running out of time to try and get tickets for my son and I. Is there any point really in going to Croker, and around the ticket office for between 6.30 and 7.30?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 383 ✭✭giseva


    If you don't go you definitely won't get any. Best of luck!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,077 ✭✭✭chases0102


    Haha very true!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 632 ✭✭✭deeks


    I was heading back to Waterford and booked the Q Park on Dawson St. A good walk back to there from Croke Park but once we got back to the car got out on the road easily and no traffic issues so would definitely use that in future.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 175 ✭✭mactheknife19


    If your parking that early go to O'Connell School car park which yesterday opened at 2.30 . Its backs onto the Davin Stand where I was. We left before very last song. Came down stairs and there is actually a gate in the Davin into the car park. Pulled straight out onto Ballybough Road down Portland Row, Depending on where your trying to get to then can go left towards Fairview or right towards Connolly/ City Centre . Its is a narrow exit so maybe if your coming around from another stand or don't get out quick it could be a longer wait. Only €20 for the day.

    Hey folks - Apologies if this was already asked - For anyone who's been to the gigs, are there street traders selling Coldplay t-shirts on the streets around Croke Park?
