I didn't think Slane sold out. Went to get a few tickets and found out they sold out in 24 hour.

More accurate to say tickets were no longer available for sale rather than sold out.

More tickets will likely be released, if not you should be able to get them easily enough on the likes of toutless, possibly for below face value. You can check old threads to see what really happens. Eminem also was a slane gig that sold out but plenty were going below face in the days coming up to it.

Several already being sold on toutless

Anybody know if there are any buses going from Waterford City or Kilkenny city e.g. Bus Eireann or other??

That's Gold Circle. There's plenty of general admission ones too.

I know I was more about the format they are in, personally would'nt go with print offs certainly not €300 ones. Have found when selling tickets in the past it seems to be a regular question if they are hardcopy or not so it isn't just me.

Not 100% about this so someone please correct me and/or add info.

I believe card/hard tickets with no names on them are safest, i.e. bought in cash at kiosks/outlets. If there are names on them and the full 6.85 fee then they will have been bought online, these can be cancelled by the seller and they are either sent new ones in the post, or collect them on the day at the box office. Who arrives first on the day is irrelevant, the barcode is changed and the original ones are detected as lost/stolen/cancelled.

I am not sure about paying by card at kiosks/outlets, years ago they would put your name on them, and I am not sure if there is any comeback if they are lost.

The londis near me only accept cash. They could still be counterfeited of course, but not as easy as the cancellation trick.

If getting hard tickets bought online I would ask for the full intact tickets, including address and receipt printed on dummy tickets. Scammers would not want you getting their address.

Simple solution - don't lose the tickets.

my post was about people potentially being scammed.

The safest way to buy tickets from a third party, not the safest way to buy them incase you are prone to losing them.

Dodgy scam sellers can sell them, report them lost in the post and get new ones issued.

Anyone here going to uk date get their tickets yet?

Going to fly out on an early flight on the 15th June from Dublin as I'll will be up for Aerosmith on the 14th June. I heard London city airport is the handiest airport for the area I'm staying but the flights are very expensive for there, so I'm aiming to fly into stansted

Staying in the Ruskin Arms hotel which is about 40 min drive from the stadium

Ha i'm doing the same trip with Aerosmith too! Booked London City airport flights directly from cityjet was cheapest after shopping around.

I've done this journey a few times and would defo recommend if you haven't booked to fly into London city airport and staying near the stadium. The airport trains to that area are pretty long and expensive. GN'R don't play late anymore though so you won't have the late after concert trying to get home problem.

Pretty convinced the support will be pretty lame given it's sold out and no word yet.

Not fair though - we should get a decent support.

Faith No More would be great , again

They were great when they supported Black Sabbath in Hyde Park, far better than Soundgarden.

So is anyone camping? I am tempted seeing as it is a nite-mare to get to Slane.. If anyone has camped in recent years can you advise on what to expect.

We're booked in to camp. Seems to be the easiest option. I am mildly disabled so the standing for all the hours at the concert will be enough on my decrepit body without adding in hours of walking too and from Slane Castle.

Ya I think it sounds like the best option. Have you any idea which site is best?

No idea where's best but I am booked into Slane Farm Hostel Cotteges and Campsite.

Booked in to this place too. Stayed there for the Foo Fighters a few years ago and it was brilliant,tent to arena in 20 mins or so and the same after the gig. Completely changed my outlook on Slane as a concert venue having experienced a few clusterfcuks in previous years.
