    Anyone going? Was one of the lucky ones that got tickets to the O2 gig back in april and I can honestly say it was the best gig i'd ever been to (granted i've only been to a handful). Loved it so much me and few others got a few tickets to the punchestown gig through toutless. Me and my mate got right up to the front (about halfway down the walkway).
    Hoping to get a similar postition for the punchestown gig but it's gonna be a whole lot harder with 70,000 people and the obvious inclusion of a pit.

    Agreed, the o2 gig was faaaaaantastic!

    There's actually about 700-800 tickets still available (or available again) from Ticketmaster for Punchestown

    just checked ticketmaster there and it seems your right. i guess they were holding a few to increase demand. fan club tickets have been available aswell. either way i still managed to get 3 face value tickets very easily.

    Yeah, i was thrilled when i heard thin lizzy were supporting also. it'll be the first of 2 times this year ill see them (again at metallica!)

    Me too, and I'm definitely not a hard rock/metal fan - I like my EDM (trance/techno).. But I've a bit of an AC/DC streak in me too, and this'll be a gig to remember.

    Is it really no cameras though? :(

    Yeah I can't wait for it. Paid €300 for my ticket to the o2 on April and gladly would've paid double that, amazin' gig. I've been a massive fan since I was ten and even though I knew what I was gonna get, they exceeded all possible expectations.

    Nope no luck for ya I'm afraid! And I wouldn't try setting up in any of the fields around cause you'll be moved fairly quickily.

    You could give people a bit of help by letting them know from where.

    Has anyone bought a dublin bus ticket for the gig? I bought one but i'm a little sketchy on the details. Can you get on any of the buses between 12 and 6 that they are running or does it have to be a specific one?

    Looking forward to this, have seen them already in Rotterdam and Dublin this year, and got a ticket for Sydney next year too! This might be the last tour, gotta make the most of it.

    hey guys, does anyone know the drinks policy for Punchestown or the ACDC gig policy. Wondering if I can bring in booze or not (obviously no bottles). Just wondering as I've never been to Punchestown, but I'd imagine they're going to be selling plastic cups of beer for 8 euro regardless :eek:

    don't see anything about it on the promoters site or on the tickets.

    Hi. Does anyone know who's supporting ACDC next week?

    There's nothing on MCD or Ticketmaster sites about who the support act(s) are. Gates open at 4pm so I can only assume there will be a few.
    Have heard rumours of ThinLizzy but nothing definate...
