    The Helix, crazy.

    Wonder what that's like for a gig


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,355 ✭✭✭cruhoortwunk


    WTF, Helix. Does that mean DCU students will get a presale?

    Grandpa and Lisa Simpson: [singing] “How many roads, must a man walk down…”
    Homer Simpson: Eight!

    Lisa: That was a rhetorical question.

    Homer: Oh. Then seven!

    Lisa: Do you even know what ‘rhetorical’ means?

    Homer: [scoffs] Do I know what ‘rhetorical’ means…

    Wouldn't it be 364/1 unless it's a leap year?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,273 ✭✭✭UsedToWait


    What's the capacity of the Helix, and can it be configured for a standing area?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,355 ✭✭✭cruhoortwunk


    Seems to be 1800, and I'd say it's fixed seating.
    Pity they didnt pick the Grand Canal theatre

    What an odd choice of venue for a band that were meant to be quite high up the bill at Longitude only two years a go :(

    i'd imagine that other venues are already booked for other acts, either announced, or soon to be (probably from the TITP lineup), and this was one of the only ones available...

    Wow.

    Got my hopes up there, I thought it was a venue change


  • Registered Users Posts: 143 ✭✭alwayswright


    Would this gig be worth going to despite the venue?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,355 ✭✭✭cruhoortwunk


    Would this gig be worth going to despite the venue?
    Definitely. Saw them twice and they always put on a great lively show. It's probably not the wort venue, it's just not a handy location.


  • Registered Users Posts: 238 ✭✭wacotaco


    Will this sell out quickly? Won't have the cash until next week..

    Tickets got :)
    Turns out the ground floor is standing, which I was surprised about.

    The standing tickets were snapped up quickly. I got mine at 9. :) Wonder how many were available.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,067 ✭✭✭OhHiMark


    Are the standing tickets gone? I only got into work at about twenty past nine and was able to get one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 938 ✭✭✭Ice Storm


    The website is saying limited availability for standing.

    A friend couldn't get standing tickets at about 10 but they seem to have been freeded up again now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,438 ✭✭✭frantic190


    Standing appear to have gone now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,755 ✭✭✭eyeball kid


    Everything seems to be gone now. Any chance of more tickets being release or a change of venue?


  • Registered Users Posts: 532 ✭✭✭Mickolution

    There are tickets available now.

    Don't see a change of venue if it does sell out though, where could it go? The o2 is the only venue bigger in Dublin isn't it? Unless they were to move it to one of the outdoor venues, but you'd think they would have all of those booked up by now.

    Thanks a million. Just picked up some!

    Standing tickets as well. Thanks again for that Mickolution. Thought I had really missed out!

    If you're going to be pedantic at least get it right!!! 364.25/1

    On the venue. I don't think I've ever been to a concert in the Helix. I have seen Modest Mouse in the Radisson in Galway though and thoroughly enjoyed it.

    By saying unless it's a leap year, he covered himself there. If you're going to be correcting someone for being pedantic, at least get it right!

    You do realise there's 365 days (365.25) in a year and 366 in a leap year? You include all days in odds. Eg. The odds of any given day being Saturday are 7/1 not 6/1. Please tell I missed some sarcastic joke or something...

    That's not how bookies odds work. Say there's a marble hidden in one of two pots and you've to pick the one it's hidden in. You've a 50 50 chance, and the odds you'd get in a bookies ignoring profit margins would be 1/1 or evens. Add the two numbers and put the 2nd figure over the sum. So 1+1=2. And 1/2 is the probability. If there was one marble in 3 pots, you'd have a 1/3 chance of being right. Which is 2/1. One in 4 pots is 3/1. And so on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,402 ✭✭✭nxbyveromdwjpg


    Shut up lads

    Correct sorry I was mixing up bookies odds and probability. I meant 1/365 and 1/366

    To bring all the maths genii a little more on-topic, can I just say..

    The Universe is shaped exactly like the Earth -
    If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were


    Whether that takes 365 days or 364.whatever days, it hardly matters :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 49 dan_dublin


    In case anyone can't make it, I'll take whatever's going.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 477 ✭✭davidom2513


    If anyone can't make it, I'll happily take the tickets off there hands


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 717 ✭✭✭RolandGoose


    Does anybody know the stage times for this one?

    All I can find is doors at 8:15.
    Which I guess means a support band is unlikely.

    Also is there a bar in the helix?

    Thanks in advance!

    Anyone know a good pub nearby? I dont know Ballymun at all

    Used to be a student in DCU but that was years ago. The pub opposite the entrance to DCU used to be called the Slipper, now Matt Weldons I think. It used to be OKish. No idea what its like now. There is also a bar open in DCU. Don't know if its open on Friday evenings or if it only open to students. Not much use I'm afraid.

    From the MCD website..

    Have two tickets, probably not going (might be closing on our first house tomorrow and if so, might stay in painting instead of enjoying ourselves :)) - please PM if you want them at cost price.

    That is a very disappointing set time. No consideration at all being shown for fans. It should start earlier if there are 2 support acts. going to be expensive to get home from this gig
