Stab vests at the ready lads!

In all seriousness Would be surprised if this gets the go ahead, after SHM and the chaos at Calvin Harris and Tiesto, i doubt the guards will be too keen for the licence..

I might make the trip up from Limerick for this

Will tickets sell out Thursday morning or should there be no problem waiting a while?

32,000 according to Wikipedia, The O2/3 Arena is 14,500 with full seating.. I'm 50/50 on weather it will sell out or not, does Marley Park generally have a pit during gigs there?

Also the 18+ age limit will throttle sales for sure but It's great as it will hopefully avoid any underage drinking, I just feel bad for the responsible teenagers (who drink and don't) under 18 who will miss out.

Furious-Red · 16-12-2014 6:22pm

Was their much hassle at his gig this year in Belfast?

It sold out fast enough a few years ago when Guetta headlined it but Example, Wolfgang Gartner, Benny Benassi and Tommy Trash would have driven sales too. I think there was a pit when I was there...think they gave out wristbands randomly early on in the day for it!

sound for the fast reply

Ya Rudimental are pretty good and look to be a serious outfit live. Really wanna see them live to be honest, especially after missing out twice in the last 2 years. Actually saw Avicii live a few years ago by chance and was ok. Didn't like it all that much at the time but in hindsight it was ok. Wouldn't be going to him again tho to be honest.

Don't agree with all the stereotypes and hope nothing causes them to be brought up again next summer.

Beca19 · 18-12-2014 8:45pm

Will it not be difficult to ID every person who looks under 21 with the amount of people rushing in? Bought my sister a ticket but she'll be 17, has some sort of ID though I think. People I asked said they won't be strict at all but now I'm doubting it?

It's hard to say really what will happen but my guess is they will have a two checkpoints one for ID then followed by the normal search an ticket scan this way it would avoid the rush filtering out anyone trying to get in underage etc, One thing I will say is that it's the first time I've seen Ticketmaster email me a reminder after a ticket purchase highlighting the fact that it is strictly over 18s only.

Would this have anything to do with the incident at Hardwell in belfast earlier this year with over 40 teenagers being taken ill from drugs/alcohol?

The capacity for Arctic Monkeys at Marlay Park last year was 41,000.

Bit of a difference from the 32,000 on Wikipedia

You should never trust Wikipedia. Best source for accurate capacities is the Licence application which gets lodged with Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown Council.

Dublin Red Devil · 19-12-2014 2:47pm

Sounds like the total scanger fest

JamieHP · 22-12-2014 1:58pm

Any ideas on who else for support, can see someone like Martin Garrix or Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike

The next question is how rough will the crowd be? Not expecting anything like that Swedish House Mafia disaster, but still not too hopeful.

Well his gig in T-Vital this year or last year seemed to go ahead with no major problems

pa limerick · 09-01-2015 8:19pm

Is this actually sold out because it seems way too soon or will more tickets come out in batches?

They may have limited the capacity considering previous similar events.. But unless the stage is smaller than expected yiu can assume sold out

Christmas helped an awful lot

Yea they might be using the castle side of the park which holds about 22,000

Shreddeez · 10-01-2015 11:53am

There was more tickets available for sale the other day on ticket master, they looked to be about a euro more expensive, whatever that was about

There's always a chance more tickets may be released. Promoters always hold some tickets back for the artist(s), management, record label, media, etc and if they're not taken up, they're released to the public. When they're released, it's usually not announced so you just have to keep checking Ticketbastard and you might get lucky.

Does anyone know of the big after party's?

Anyone used the Marathon Sports buses to Marlay Park before. Whats the story with getting the bus back to the city after?

I used them last year for Arctic Monkeys. Great getting out there, but coming out there was a few buses but to be honest my memory is very very hazy and I can't remember getting back into the city on one (to be fair it was probably our own fault), think we got a taxi after a long wait time trying to get one down on the main road. IIRC we were lucky to get one too.

Amcb · 18-06-2015 9:06pm

Does anyone know if a passport will be okay to use for avicci I don't want to risk taking anything to valuable with me and don't have age card and won't have time to order one wth me now

Worried247 · 19-06-2015 3:02pm

Anyone know all the times for gates/ stage times and estimated finishing time? Thanks

stehyl15 · 19-06-2015 8:20pm

Does anyone the concert is over 18s sounds like avicii will be playing to an empty house. The usual teenage scangers will probably congeragate there outside it anyway

Copper_pipe · 19-06-2015 8:43pm

Ticketmaster sent an email today giving the chance to under 18s to give the tickets back for a full refund...

Paully D · 19-06-2015 10:26pm

Anyone know the story with getting a refund for this?

I purchased a ticket last year for someone (who has now magically turned U-18 as per the terms of the refund :pac:) but plans have long since changed now and can't attend. I was going to try and flog it for less than I paid but a refund option would be extremely handy. Almost too handy in fact.

I'll give them a call on Monday to see, but for those who have taken the refund option - will it be a pain in the arse or relatively straightforward?

Shop bought tickets will need to be returned to the shop to obtain a refund.

Online & Phone bookings please call us on 0818 903 001 and select Option 5. Please have your order number and last 4 digits of your card when calling.

Postoffice123 · 24-06-2015 3:40pm

What number can I call on to ask them about the strictly over 18s policy?
