According to the band's website they're not on sale until the 25th.

There is a presale today. Must look it up later on my own computer and book some tickets. Joy Formidable supporting so it will be a good gig.

ring and ask - although i'm sure ticketmaster have a voice machine phone service so you probably won't get to speak to anyone. drop by and ask them in cork.

It's on a Monday

Like your username by the way - Generation Terrorists was their best album - "Condemned to Rock & Roll" their best song.

Is this expected to sell out quickly? I could risk going to the box office but would buy them online if they are not going to be all sold ten seconds after I log in to ticketb*****d.

lukin · 25-02-2011 12:58PM

Got em anyway, surprised it was so easy.

bradlente · 16-03-2011 01:49PM

upper circle = unreserved seating high up - not a great view from anywhere other than the first few rows
ground floor = standing

the upper circle tickets should still be on sale on the day of the gig. keep an eye on toutless.com for standing tickets.

bradlente · 16-03-2011 07:54PM

I've got it now anyway,just gonna get in early forem try get a good seat.

Generation Terrorist · 09-05-2011 12:22PM

This day week

Anyone know where they're likely to stay/be?

James is a massive Forest fan and they're playing Swansea in the play offs the same night, would love to get him out for a pint or 2 for the match before the gig

teekayd25 · 09-05-2011 10:50PM

It could easily have been Cardiff that they met . . . hmm, interesting thread here.

So anyone know of places in Dublin that they've drank over the years?

They were meant to have been in Isobar in Cork back in '99.

Generation Terrorist · 10-05-2011 10:14AM

James was on Soccer Am last month bigging up the Tricky Trees

If we knew where they were staying we could crash the hotel bar!

Try the Merrion Hotel - a friend of mine saw Nicky come out or go into there last time they were here to play Oxygen.

Can't wait for Monday, seen them around 8 times but the best was at the Olympia for The Journal tour in 09, they really gave it their all.

who_ru · 13-05-2011 08:57PM

any of you reckon there'll be tickets available on the night?

Seems to be some cropping up on Toutless, I got one from a person on that yesterday.

crouchie15 · 14-05-2011 01:52PM

Looking forward to this.
Anyone know what time to expect them on?
Cheers

Technocentral · 14-05-2011 02:12PM

Always seems to be around 9pm kick off in the Olympia.

Furious-Red · 16-05-2011 12:50PM

Ha sorry Scudz i just copied and pasted it from their FB site

me-skywalker · 16-05-2011 03:58PM

I'm heading myself and can't wait as a huge Manics fan and in my opinion one of the greatest bands of all time. I've seen them live 5/6times now always great live never been let down once!! Standing tonight too excellent!

Get of the couches, turn the Telly off and support some great live music!

homerun_homer · 16-05-2011 04:36PM

Just realised I've not seen them in 3 years - the Ambassador gig. Crazy, I've seen them loads but missed the Plague tour.
