    Just announced on Today FM.

    I am guessing that this one might just sell out.

    Is it just me who thinks €100 for an outdoors standing ticket is a bit on the steep side?

    Feck sake 100 quid for one ticket a few days before Christmas? I hope Santa is generous to me.

    If the gig does sell out next week, what would your chances be to get a ticket between Jan and July?

    A bit pricey alright was €76.50 for the last Irish gig they had in 2009. Might be their last Irish gig and few better bands live so count me in.

    Seen them in the RDS Oct 22nd 1982 :D

    But at a starting price of €87:50 they can ram this gig up their arses ~ thats WAY too expensive.

    Depending on production layout on the pitch, it can usually hold anywhere between 50,000 and 55,000.

    The only reason I think they might have chosen the Aviva is that they could possibly multiple nights. Slane was meant for bands like AC/DC, kind of a shame they ain't playing there.
    Based on the ticket price it's safe to say AC/DC couldn't really give a crap about the venue as long as they make as much money as possible.

    Madness.

    Slane should be retired as a venue. The Aviva is perfect for this.

    Missed the gig in 2009 because of my leaving cert and probably going to miss this one now because times are tough. Hopefully they will come back when their in their 80's :pac: :(

    No it's not, Slane is ****e. Leave it to the likes of Hozier and the Kaiser Chiefs.

    You can say all you want about ticket prices being too high, but this will sell on in a few minutes, guaranteed.

    I hate short notice gig ticket sales like this, feck sake "here's a gig, it's going to sell out, you have 5 days to come up with a spare €100 the week before Xmas! Woohoo!".

    Luckily my mam is also a fan and said she'd get me a ticket when she's buying hers, to be repaid in January when I am broke and miserable anyway!

    One of these months it might cut down on admin if I just get my wages paid directly to ticketmaster and sort out all my gigs and fests for next summer :P

    Did you just say your Mammy is going to buy you an AC/DC ticket?

    £8.50. You'd get 20 fags from the change.

    No. It won't. Be plenty of tickets left over right up until July for this!
