    I've listened to Rush for almost 30 years, and they have never played here in Ireland.
    As God is my witness I will attend the concert, and I will ****ing enjoy it. I'm not kidding people. You hear about 'defining moments', events in people's lives that stay with them throughout their days, this is one of those... I know you cannot equate it with life or death, but (pauses) THIS IS RUSH!

    (I need to lie down)

    Ever since seeing Kiss live, I considered giving up gigs forever as I felt that no gig could ever be better than that, but this sounds like it might top it (slightly, I might add)

    My younger sister told me yesterday this had been confirmed but I didn't believe her.

    My mam then rang today to tell me tickets are on sale this week. I also didn't believe her.

    I checked ticketmaster, saw the tickets on sale and still don't believe it.

    Seriously?! What the hell?! Rush in Ireland?! They're the only band I've ever traveled to another country to see. And I thought I might do it again for this tour.

    Best news ever!

    If you're an O2 customer, text RUSH to 51020, you'll get sent a password. On Wednesday morning, go to o2blueroom.ie, you'll be asked to enter it.

    I cannot believe it . 32 years into Rush, travelled to the UK and europe to see them, and now, at last, in Ireland. Feck the IMF, ECB, and the shaggin government, this has to be the greatest day in years. Any volunteers to form a reception committee at the airport?Jesus i still can't believe it


    I'd love to welcome them at the airport...!!! pm with the details! I'm gonna get a Tri-colour with "Cead Mile Failte RUSH" printed on it to give to the band!:D

    I heard a little of Radio Nova this morning: they're giving away Rush concert tickets. I didn't have time to stop, but it sounds like it's not just today ...

    You cannot get tickets by 'registering' with Rush.Com. That's the band's website and it's not involved with ticket sales.

    MusicToday have had fan presales for Rush shows in the past, but I checked yesterday and there's no mention of presales for any of the upcoming confirmed shows.

    Are you (or any of your mates) an 02 customer? If so, the 02 presale starts at 9am on Wednesday.

    Is anyone prepared to get a priority code on my behalf? I'm an O2 customer in the UK but presales codes for the Dublin show only get sent to O2 subscribers in RoI.

    I've got a spare code for the O2 presale - send me a PM and I'll reply with it. If you want the actual text message from O2, include your mobile number and I'll send it on.
