    The Foos, different genre, almost as bland as the Script to be honest.

    Well that's music tastes for you. Some of my friends absolutely love the Foos too but I just don't hear it. Seems very by-the-numbers kinda stuff. And Dave Grohl, in spite being a drum-legend and all-round dude, always comes across way too over-earnest on the vocals.

    Why is it a silly comment? People disagree with it yet won't explain how the Foo Fighters are not bland.

    Opinions are opinions, but sometimes they are so wrong they deserve to be punished! The Script are a lil better than The Coronas, they're maybe league 2, Coldplay are Premiership, not even same league, there is 2 leagues between them, maybe more.

    Premiership? Maybe airtricity premier league level.ya.. Coldplay are the Blandest, most boring band ive ever seen..

    Script have sold out the Aviva and every album has gone staright to number one, mightnt like them, fine, but theyve earned their Croke Park gig.

    Will they sell it though is another story

    One band that certainly isn't bland is Booker T and the MG's!!:)

    The Foos are almost as boring as the script. Incredibly mediocre radio friendly rock. Whats most annoying about that is the members of The Foos were all in far more interesting bands beforehand, Nirvana, Scream, Sunny Day Real Estate, The Germs.

    doubt he'd sell 82,000 tickets on his own

    Ah come on now!!! My Mam like it. I know she is 80 but she has good taste. Its not a bad tune.

    Ah i cant even lie. You should get a ban for posting that :D. Awful shi*e.

    I cringed when they were on Jools Holland. C'mon Jools, never again man. These lads are a bland pop band. Check out the guitar riff in this song. Says it all really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 944 ✭✭✭BetterThanThou


    Not gonna lie, I somewhat liked The Script when they released their first album a few years ago, wouldn't have been a fan, but I'd enjoy if one of their songs was played on the radio. But they've just turned into the same crap that everyone else produces.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 23,380 ✭✭✭✭Ash.J.Williams


    I've never seen them mention it ...but are the script a christian pop band????

    You won't have any problems getting tickets tomorrow night.

    In saying that, you might find it difficult to get some of the better seats (lower tiers or premium near the stage) after the initial rush in the morning but you'll be able to get standing tickets and upper tier seats.

    What about tickets for people with disabilities??

    Would standing not sell quicker?

    I guess it depends on the price of seats compared to standing.

    It doesn't yet clarify on ticketmaster's site, the prices of the specific tickets, for example it doesn't yet state if the most expensive tickets at 79.50, are seats.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 667 ✭✭✭collie0708


    Does anyone know how much the standing tickets are for this need going to be getting a pair for my sister for Xmas? Will I need to be logged on at 9am or will there be a few of these available for a while?

    What about tickets for people with disabilities??

    I think you may have to phone ticketmaster to buy accessible seated tickets.

    There are contact details on this page:

    http://www.ticketmaster.ie/h/a_seating.html

    "Ticketmaster, on behalf of its clients, strives to make it as easy as possible to purchase accessible seating for venues across the country. Most venues offer accessible seating areas to accommodate their guests. Availability and type of accessible seating will vary based on each venue's policies and/or the type of event taking place.

    Note: Venues are solely responsible for establishing their own accessible seating policies. Some venues sell all or a portion of their accessible seats only through their box office and not through Ticketmaster.

    Order your tickets by phone at the number below. Please note that Ticketmaster aims to process requests for accessible seating as soon as they are received, but heavy volume can result in delays.
