Metallica aviva June 2026

Class, I managed the same and the posters, I think the designs for all 3 are unbelievable, the level of detail and Easter eggs on the concert posters is insane

fair play, I do think they should have limited it to one per fan though. You’ve got three and almost everyone else here couldn’t get even one. Not really very fair.

fair enough then. I assumed they were just all bought at once.

I’m not really that into merch myself although I have two shirts from s&m2 so now that I think about it it’s a massively hypocritical comment from me.

Never mind me.

Nope, Lynott was bought on the Friday night at the concert, the Ireland one at the Convention Centre on the Saturday morning, and the Molly one at the Sunday gig.

But I do agree that they should have limited people going in multiple times to the Convention Centre. As I said in an earlier post, the lady tagging the bags actually pointed out one guy to the security guard and said that this was her third time seeing him there. I also saw on FB this morning that someone said a bunch of lads were in there first thing this morning and picked up a dozen each of the Ireland tshirt without a care in the world of sizes, just grabbed them up.

I was in the frantic early entry and the scalping was very noticeable, I would say the majority of people that bought it from my experience of both days were international fans that follow them around (even the crew knew them),

I saw so much hassle towards the staff, "keep searching for the foil or I'm not buying it", buying multiple shirts and posters, they didn't limit the 1 per person rule which is stated on the tents,

Same with the pop up stuff, people listing a piece of vinyl for 3-4x the price, I'm already seeing the poster up for 300 quid minimum, international fans seem to do this in order to follow them around and sustain it, it's scummy behavior, it seemed anything "collectible" was fair game, from guitar picks to posters, just look on eBay and it's all being relisted, and it's not Irish fans, every fanbase has this cohort unfortunately,

I collect posters myself and have a tonne but this level of depravity and scalping is actually detestable

The old ticket stubs on the big screen was a brilliant touch

Very happy with my resale pick up, great view from Row A of block 512

I never realised there was a third fan-card QR thing. Does anyone have a spare Green one they'd be willing to part with?

What are these fan cards?

That was brilliant, I thought Sunday was far better than Friday, I don't know was it the mood of the crowd or the setlist was better. Only bought a ticket on Wed, so glad I did. Sound for both support acts was dreadful, I saw Pantera in the 3 arena last year and it was an amazing gig. Could barely hear Gojira, but they killed it. Sound for Metallica both nights on the pitch was perfect. Orion live was an absolute treat, seen them 7 times since 99 and never heard that.

Kudos to the Aviva, I have never being at a stadium gig that it was so easy to get a beer or go to the toilet.

On the Phil Lynott tshirt thing on Friday……….

I queued at the merch table for a while wanting to get a shirt for my nephew. I didn't particularly have my eye on the Philo shirt.

However, the guy in front of me was allowed to buy all of the ones they had left. I mean, he asked the lady how many were left, there were 7, he was able to buy all 7 plus the one from the mannequin.

An absolute joke!

Great gigs all the same :)

Friday was good, but Sunday was just magic.

I really enjoyed last night, I thought is was better than Friday's gig. Missed out on a poster yesterday by a few minutes. Roll on Maiden next week.

ended auctions are always a bit more of a reflection of worth, someone paid 160 for one today

I was very impressed with how fast getting a drink or food was, in general it was all very well organised.
