I realise there are a lot of places out there, but many are too expensive and too far away (hotels that is).
I like the idea of being within walking distance to somewhere to stay once the gigs over, don't fancy the mayhem of trying to get a taxi to take me 15miles away.

dashcamdanny · 01-06-2015 12:04am

There are places in the link for 65e?? Thats not expensive for anywhere in Ireland and a 5 min taxi trip from the Avia

Thanks for that, might check that one out.

Good luck with that, as they say.

Landsdowne is fairly well connected to public transport. It won't be a huge problem to walk into town and connect to anywhere, or get a bus or DART out of town after the gig.

Hi there,

I've two seated tickets (upper region) for the 1st of July gig in the Aviva. I would prefer standing, so wondering if anyone is interested in swapping a pair of standing tickets?

Thanks.

Penfailed · 09-06-2015 11:05pm

The warm up has started for me. I've created a playlist for my iPod of the current setlist. Can't feckin' wait!

Have a look on toutless.com they are always swapping etc.

Hi all,

Long time listener, first time caller as they say.

I'm going to this gig, driving up from Limerick on Wednesday afternoon. Can't wait! Finish work at 2pm, hop in the car and off to the Aviva. 2 questions, if anybody could help.

1) What would be my best options for parking/driving near the Aviva, coming from the Limerick side? Or what would be good options for me, coming from Limerick, hitting Dublin around 5-ish?
2) Any ideas of what time the gig will start? Would I have time to grab some food, etc, before Vintage Trouble hit the stage (obviously, I'm going to see AC/DC, but that's a cool support act too)?

Cheers y'all!

hhhmmmm ... coming from Limerick , you'll be coming into Dublin via the N7 I reckon. That means you'll come in via the Naas Rd. If I were you Id park the car at the Red Cow Park and Ride and get the Luas down to the O2 / Point (last stop on the line) ... then walk across the East Link Bridge to the Aviva.

http://www.luas.ie/red-cow-car-park.html

If you want to stay in the car , I would stay on the N7 , flow straight through M50 junction and then come down the Long Mile Rd , onto the Canal and follow that right down to Baggot St. / Haddington Rd area. There's street parking around the canal area / haddington Rd. It Yellow Zone Park (highest Demand) - €2.90 per hour valid until 7pm (after 7pm it's free)

Canal / Haddington Rd

It's 5pm so it's going to be heavy traffic to matter what route you take.

SpaceCowb0y · 12-06-2015 8:33am

Would love to get tickets for this! Going to be an awesome gig

limerickabroad · 12-06-2015 9:36am

Thank you very much, RayCon - appreciate the info and the maps too! Also the info about the car parking, I'll run that by my mates (who I'm meeting at the gig) and I may go with that option. Thanks again, those of us about to rock salute you!

A couple of us are staying in the Paramount hotel in Tempel Bar, anyone know what the bar would be like after the gig? the Turks Head I believe it's called.

Probably terrible just like it is every other night.

I'm sure there will be a few 'after parties' thrown on by the usual spots, or just hit some rock bar after. Much better.

Head to the gypsy rose, on the quays just a few mins walk from where you are, you'll be surrounded by like minded souls with hardly any idiots

I know you didn't ask but I feel obligated to tell you your hotel is 50 metres from Di Fontaines pizza place. It's deadly for a late night slice and the pizza is top notch!

Comerman · 16-06-2015 11:54am

Pizza or a kebab will be obligatory by the end of the night so thanks for the heads up and cheers Scudzilla for the tip

rubadub · 16-06-2015 12:00pm

If you like trying new beers nip into the porterhouse. I would usually go there for 1 or 2 and head elsewhere. Its just across from the turks head. Zaytoon kebab shop is across from it which is pretty good, though no doubt that might spark some debate! You can sit and eat in it with proper cutlery etc, but still reasonable prices.

Cheers for that rubadub, unusual to have a health and nutritionist mod recommending kebabs :eek:

Mine came a few days after I bought them.

And when I lost them,:o
the replacements came the next day.

BearThomas131 · 23-06-2015 5:39pm

What time will the support act start anyone know also where would be close by to get a few pints in before the gig?

Big Nasty · 23-06-2015 10:14pm

Where are boardsies meeting up pre-gig?

Will Gypsy Rose be open early Wednesday?

Dominico Wanderbar · 24-06-2015 3:38am

What time are AC/DC due on stage does anyone know?

cactuspaw · 24-06-2015 6:41am

Anyone need lifts from the midlands? My friend is driving a minibus, seats €20 return , proceeds go to charity. Message me.

charlietheminxx · 26-06-2015 11:10am

If anyone knows somebody selling 2 x standing tickets, will they PM me and let me know? I know it's a long shot but am sickened at the thought of not being there, especially as it coincides with my birthday and it's where half my friends will be!

nxbyveromdwjpg · 26-06-2015 1:00pm

Will be there a pit with wristbands at this does anyone know? If so is it first come first served?

dashcamdanny · 26-06-2015 2:46pm

Getting a little excited now.

That 11 year old Edd sheeran fan son of mine does not know that he is going yet.

Should blow the ginger clean outta him.

If you are in the stands (seated) the bars and toilets are the same as for any football/rugby match.

If you are on the pitch (standing) the toilets are portaloos and there are usually 2-3 bars around the standing area.

I've only been to one gig there, I was standing and I never saw any portaloos. Pretty sure there was an actual toilet. Could be wrong though.

They are in the tunnel that runs under the south and west stands. 100's of them!

I couldn't quite get over being at a gig, and still being able to sit on a decent loo, use toilet paper, wash my hands at a sink and have them blow dried - just seemed out of place.

charlietheminxx · 26-06-2015 9:16pm

I got sorted with tickets... So excited!!

PTH2009 · 26-06-2015 10:03pm

im in premium level block 323 Row A so no portaloos for me. Was up in premium for a few rugby game its not bad but nothing special, it bacisally has what other sections has but indoors and the seats are padded.

Anyone have idea whats at the merchandise stand, hope they have an irish limited edition t shirt

Looking forward to this gig. Should be great.

Never been to a gig in the Aviva. What entrance do they use for pitch standing?

Will there be a pit area?

dubscottie · 27-06-2015 2:22pm

There is a pit area. First come first served.

Vintage Trouble are the support act on at 19:15.

AC/DC on at 20:30.

griffin100 · 27-06-2015 9:28pm

Vintage Trouble were at Glastonbury today. They were amazing, the front man is some performer. If you get a chance to see it it's well worth a look.

Big Nasty · 27-06-2015 9:39pm

Apologies if it's been mentioned already but anyone got the set list?

The pitch entrances are gates D and P.

Pitch entrance 1 is gate D which is off Lansdowne Rd on the Ballsbridge or west side of the Dart line.

Pitch entrance 2 is gate P at the bottom of Lansdowne Rd by Herbert Bridge, opp the stadium tours office. (Ringsend or east side of Dart line)

You are usually able to use either but there has been problems in the past so go to the gate that is on your ticket.

What is on your ticket out of curiosity? Any mention of 1 or 2?

It says " Green Route", no mention of 1 or 2.

I take it that "Green Route" means entrance 2 Gate P as you mentioned above. As per this map

I'd say you're probably right. It says Green Route on my ticket too

Any idea how long they'll play until? Im not one to leave early but always like to have a rough idea of finishing time so its not an absolute mosh trying to get out at the end.
