  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,744 ✭✭✭Táck


    not gonna get into the tiesto slagging as its about as fresh as his sound, (see what i did there) but i would actually like to be at this, for about an hour.

    mainly because i've never been and i want to see and hear for myself how magnificent the sound supposedly is, patricularly for a dance music event.

    E55 entry? well, i'd pay it to see certain individuals (bowie, d.mode, fleetwood tack or doves) so im sure some wont mind paying it for tiesto but i can only imagine marco v or tall paul or someone else of similar has been ness will be added to the bill...

    Tiesto for as long as I can remember never had a support act. In fact he said at some stage, I'll see can I find the interview, he finds it undermining. The whole reason for his show is that fact its one DJ, one night.
    1am curfew.

    Yeap. 12pm I would say. Doors are at 6pm, kick off at 8 at a guess.

    And yes, it will be an absolute scum fest. Just have a look at the DVD and the Ireland section. Makes me ashamed to be Irish. You get none of that on the continent and abroad. Totally different audience and a much better experience.

    That's something thats always got me thinking..... Why is it that Ireland's music events always attract scummers en masse? Imagine a Chemical Brothers gig in Marlay Park.... I like them but I really couldnt go to it.

    Would be a good study alright. I believe its alcohol based. I was at a Tiesto gig in Spain last summer, not an ounce of trouble (This was at a Spanish equivalent of Octoberfest). The cops even looks bored. No one was out of line or hammered. Didn't see on fight or altercation. While we come here or England, total different story.

    Its also the market that big DJ's attract. People want to say they've "been there" I suppose. Like mainstream Ibiza / Croatia I suppose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,532 ✭✭✭thecommander


    In alot of countries scum don't have a few hundred quid to blow on a gig/festival.

    In most other countries you just don't know the local people well enough to be able to pinpoint who the "scum" are (and I hate that phrase anyway).

    Dutch / German / French / Spanish / Italian "scum" are all identified in completely different ways. The subtle cues one takes for granted at aiding you in being able to identify someones' socio-economic strata simply do not coincide with the general UK / Irish variety.

    There's no more or less trouble at your average well run Irish event of any type than there is anywhere else on the continent, believe me. I've had Norwegians express slackjawed amazement at how chilled and peaceful Dublin was on a busy Saturday night with so many drunk people around.

    Your quite right and I ain't one to tar with the same brush. There are genuine people as well. Sure, that happens on all socio-levels and walks of life.

    But I feel Irish events are very alcohol fueled while on the continent and further afield it doens't happen. Even working from a First Aid point of view at these events in Ireland, it nearly 100% alcohol or alcohol related.

    Anyway, back on thread, anyone know if Tiesto is doing any in-store stuff seeing as this is a world tour leg?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,350 ✭✭✭Omega28


    I was thinking of going with my gf but I know this will attract alot of 'scum' (seems to be the term being used in this thread) and I'm not into fighting or any of that, we just wanna go, enjoy the music and have a laugh like a lot of ppl im sure but u know the way it is at some of these events.

    So im unsure what to do, I'd love to go and see him but at the same time I have my doubts

    If you have tickets, go. I have 5 seated tickets and I'm bringing the gf. Standing will be another story. Don't bring anything of value and I've recommended to all the girlies to leave the bags at home. Car Keys, Phone and Wallet. That's it.

    But to be fair, I've been to alot of his gigs and they do attract young and old. You also get a fair few couples, which is equally surprising.


    On a side note, heard on some other boards that the O2 are putting the finishing time at 10.30? Must be a miss communication. I Was expecting 12 but certainly not 10.30.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,350 ✭✭✭Omega28


    We have'nt got tickets but I was going to buy them, I'd certainly be buying seating anyway, I wouldn;t want to imagine standing!

    Im unsure, I really don't want the hassle at all from a little 'scumbag'.

    I thought the curfew was 11pm for the O2? I could be wrong on that though but I always thought it was.

    You won't get hassle. The O2 to their credit has good staff and the security is second to none. They said everyone is being full body searched and alcohol sales only to over 21's. I doubt you'll have any hassle.

    But tickets will be an issue. It's Sold Out and the current Tout price is about €100 a ticket.

    The curfew is a weird one. Seems to depend on the event. I was brought to Beyonce last year and I'm almost sure it was 11.00 when it finished.

    I am close to tears trying to comprehend this. That people like yourselves could be content with such mediocrity in your life, such souless nothing. Throwing money at something, a problem I suppose that is your life. I always wondered why a lot of people accepted bad jobs and being a bit overweight, why it never made them sick to their stomach. Are they happy? Are people happy at a Tiesto 'concert' seeing a man play a cd of trance music for a few hours, standing like the messiah himself. And for this you will pay €100? Half your weekly wages.

    Thats a very condescending post. To each person their own. I would not pay €100 to see Tiesto. Far from it. Last time it was €75 and I only went because it was a freebie. I only went last night as I got tickets at a discount. Wouldn't go to something out of principal if it cost over €60, far better things to be done with that type of money.

    I would consider a lot of things a waste of money but a concert with 5 mates for the laugh isn't one of them. I don't drink so I think alcohol is a waste of money. But what do I care, it pays for my Diaego dividend shares at the end of the year. I would consider however coming onto a thread at 11.30 to give out about how bad Tiesto is a considerable waste of time. People have likes and dislikes, its a fact of life.

    And if €100 is half your weekly wages, who has the bad job on this side of the argument?

    I'm going to be honest and say I can't see it. Depends on the line "Half your weekly wages" the meaning's I take from that is:

    1) A direct order i.e. "You should halve that employee's weekly wage"

    or

    2) A statement of fact i.e. "€X's is half my weekly wage"

    Anyway, its miles off topic. Every person has the right to an opinion.

    I liked last night, was a good laugh with the mates. However, as predicted the clientele wasn't very varied indeed :)
