Yet you were the only one complaining about the tickets you got. Seems legit

Did you come here to attack my post?
Is it ok with you that I got my perferred tickets afterwards?

Friday will be the first, the one everyone's waiting for, the one the hardcore fans will be at, the one they queued for days to be at....it better be perfect then! :P

There are good gigs, there are great gigs and there are transcendent gigs......... But there's NEVER been a perfect gig.

5 more weeks. And next week, it'll be 4. And the week after that it'll be 3. Imagine.

I was awake at 5 o clock this morning I was so excited. And I have 5 more weeks left.

It's seeming like the Friday will almost be a "tech run" so they can get everything perfect for the next 4 night's. Not sure if that's good or bad.

the no support for Friday is likely down to the residents and having less disruption on a Friday evening when traffic around the area will be worse.

doubt there'll be much, if any difference in the length of Garth's sets.

I'll let you know as ill be there the Friday + Saturday

The disturbance caused on a Friday would be no different to the disturbance caused on Monday & Tuesday. I don't think you can hold the residents to account for no support on the Friday.

So basically its to avoid people getting their way to croke park and packing into the stadium for 6pm. Instead it'll be a later time for 7.30pm..

Yup..
Lots sitting might not bother going early now,.thats the logic...not the soundest in the world, but id imagine its how they think

Shafted?! i'd sooner have the atmosphere building and building which is what he's probably trying to achieve the 1st night. I'd rather have an extra 5 minutes of him then any of those 2 supporting acts tho!! not being mean about it just my opinion

Oh no i agree the support acts are absolutely dire!

Just speaking from springsteen gigs with no support, the wait is awfully long.. particularly if its hot.. atleast he support can give something to keep ye entertained..

Just be nice to us poor security even if filan is awful

I'd imagine he's going to take that bit long on the Friday night and get the set up right and enjoy it a bit more before he gets to filming and getting the songs spot on for the dvd he's making, no i think the Friday night will certainly be his best and longest!!

An extra long show so for us on the friday night!! happy days

How long do you think Garth will do 2.5 hours?

That friday night gig will be a long wait from when the gates open to when he takes to the stage.

Unless....he plays longer on the friday night. YAY!

Is there only one support act each night?

There's two confirmed so far.

Shane Filan for two nights, Saturday & Sunday.
And Nathan Cather for Monday & Tuesday.

Is there only one support act each night?

Not really, aiken and mcd don't care as much about suitable support acts as they do getting "their" acts out there, and westlife made aiken a LOT of money over the years.

Very true... still I'm glad he's not confirmed for the Friday night ...

Thought it was meant to be new or unheard of support acts. Paul Hull would be great. He's Irish and country music too.

I was thinking the same... I hope it's not a sign that the Friday night won't go ahead

Or maybe a sign that the Friday support act is pretty good....???? The Friday gang were the longest in the Q when tickets were sold...maybe this is our treat?!

If they're gonna cancel any date it shouldn't be the Friday...but they won't cancel any date!
I'd love for it to be Nathan, not mad on Shane.
If anyone hears anything about the Friday support act let us know!!
