    Mustn't be any more Vital gigs. PSNI would hardly sanction another gig on either the Wednesday or the Friday alongside the Belsonic gigs would they?

    I love that Biffy was announced but I am already seeing them at the Marquee and at Kilmainham. I may end up going to them too, I'll see closer the time!

    I saw a post on the Belsonic Twitter stating that ticket prices are starting at 27.50 pounds. I wonder is that for all gigs.

    Has anyone been to Belsonic before? I assume it's all standing?

    Ya I went the Nine Inch Nails day last year, very nice set up good place for a gig.

    That should be for all gigs it was that exact same price for all gigs last year which was also £27.50.

    As far as im aware yeah last year there was no specific seating, there was limited seating in the VIP area and VIP tickets will be about £20 more than regular ticket. By seating there now I mean sit and rest for a bit between acts or whatever rather than sit and watch band, cant imagine sitting for QOTSA but hope this helps :)

    There's an area at the side.. We paid extra at primal scream and it was well worth it.. Plenty of room and a good view

    Think id rather be up front and personal with Queens :P nothing beats that at a QOTSA gig!

    Yeah, if that's your bag :)
    When you get a bit past it like me it's nice to have a seat between acts and a bar / jacks with no queue etc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 174 ✭✭callmepetardu


    It's so small that you get close to the front by the time the main act are on anyway! Went to see NIN last year and we stood on the steps at the side, great view and not too squashed. Delighted QOTSA were announced this year :)

    Rooooaaaaaadddd trip :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,524 ✭✭✭wirelessdude01


    Anyone know what the capacity of Belsonic actually is?

    Considering tickets for their arena dates last Nov (Odyssey & O2) sold very well indeed both venues capacity combined would be 20,000+ four times that of Custom House Square, so going on that hanging on might not be wise. If they are doing other dates on the Isle they better announce before Friday as if not I'll prob pick up one meself.

    Thanks for the reply :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,901 ✭✭✭Mince Pie


    So, just checked the site and it says tickets "from" £27.50 plus booking fee. Will they release the prices before Friday for QOTSA. Need to check the funds.

    I think that means like, because VIP is dearer, any other year every day has been priced the same

    Oh how I wish I owned one of the apartments facing the square..
    Ha I remember last year at NIN there was a group having a dinner party coming out on the balcony every now and then for a gander, didn't seem too impressed!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,524 ✭✭✭wirelessdude01


    Tickets are £30 according to ticketmaster.ie for the Queens.

    Hi all,

    Have a young wan here who is looking to go to this with a few friends (15 - 16 yrs old) to see Imagine Dragons.

    Any veterans who could fill me on the the general atmosphere, safety etc?

    I see it says 16+....

    Cheers

    Never been myself but I wouldn't think Imagine Dragons will have a bad crowd. Should be fairly well behaved and if its 16+ drink shouldn't be as prevalent as an 18+ gig
