    Got sorted with a GA for the brother. His last ever gig was to see them in '92.

    Internet explorer in work allowed me straight in. Chrome got me in too.

    Keep searching, tickets will ping back in as others relinquish them from their baskets.

    Worth trying the app instead of website. Always find it much quicker and more successful at getting tickets. Same again today.

    Was a big fan of these back in the day but i made a call some years ago i would never pay circa 100 euro to see a gig. If i didnt break that promise for Springsteen i won't be for Gun's and Rose's. It's a pure rip off. Well done to those that got the tickets and enjoy the gig.

    You might want to increase that limit slightly each year if you ever want to see a gig again. :P

    Got 2 GA eventually but it's confusing. Logged on through my Ticketmaster account on Chrome at 9am and am still sitting tight! Logged on through Internet Explorer but not through my ticketmaster account and got tickets after 5 minutes..

    I missed so many overpriced gigs over the years for exactly that reason, only to be bombarded with pictures of all of my friends and brothers having the craic, while I was sat in a pub drinking the extra 50 quid that I refused to give to the promoter.

    I know exactly where you're coming from but everything is so expensive these days. I went to the cinema to see Sully last night with the missus and it cost me 55 including a taxi home. 100 quid to head along to Slane with my big brother to see his favourite band ever sounds like money well spent in comparison. But again, I know exactly how you feel.

    Were the pre sale tickets for gold circle for section a or b or both? Didn't realise there was two golden circle sections.

    I went to see AC/DC last year with my brother and his mates. Some of the stories they were telling about getting tickets back in the day were crazy.

    Years ago one of the lads worked in a music/ticket shop in Cork and he could guarantee five Metallica tickets, but he could only keep them until 9:20am on the day of release.

    The guy in Cork had no money to buy them for the lads, and none of the lads trusted each other to come home with all five tickets. So five of the scruffiest looking fcukers imaginable travelled from the Midlands, all jammed into an Opel Cadet, leaving at 5:30am just to be sure. Every last penny spent on tickets. Ham sandwiches and bottles of Spring orange in the boot of the car.

    For the love of music.

    Ah it's a matter of principle thing for me more than anything. I'll be honest even if i was flush for cash i don't think i'd go. Think it sets a precedent and i won't buy into that. Having said that i wouldnt begrudge anyone going and having a great time. Hope you and the bro enjoy it. :)

    Might be nice to have a bit of space to move around more comfortably. They'll be all gone come gig time though I'd say.

    What's the normal story with tickets for the buses from/to Dublin? Where/when can you normally buy them?

    I selected print your own tickets option rather than getting them posted out. Is it possible to change this option with Ticketmaster if I contact them next week?

    You can buy them off ticketmaster and at the Dublin Bus office on O'Connell St. usually. They don't usually go on sale until a few months before the gig.

    To the people saying they won't spend over a 100. One ticket comes in UNDER a 100? Get buying and go and enjoy yourself!!!


    Got mine the other day in the pre-sale. A dream come true to see GN'R reunited in Slane. Never in my life did I think this would happen.

    EDIT: Just seen the scalpers have the tickets up on other sites for double the price already! SCUM! Why can't they sell tickets by ID? People make a living full time from scalping tickets!

    Was wondering that myself. I went for the emailed ones to be sure I got them in my hand. But now thinking I would like to have some sort of memorabilia as I have the stubs from the previous 4 times.

    I always get the ticket posted out to me as I have an envelope full of every gig ticket I've been too that I've enjoyed.

    Always get hard copies

    If something happens and you can't go, it's harder to sell the printed ones because touts just print loads of copies and sell them all. First one there gets in and everyone else is left standing.

    Ring ticketmaster and they'll post you out hard copies. Have done it myself before to sell tickets on and there's no problem
