from reports here Tickets sales are lowish but then again its an internet fourm and may be a little bit of BS too the claim

They siad 2 more bands will be added to the lineup one being Irish. Theres a lot of festivals around Europe that weekend and some big name bands may be tied up elsewhere. Just have too wait and see

G.C is sold out
as is the small standing at the back..

if even 50% of the middle sells that'dd be 45-50 k
mcd will be happy

How are the ticket sales going for this? I was at Guns N Roses in Slane two years ago and I would love to see the kings of metal in the iconic venue.
Will a big name support act be announced or do we have the full lineup now?

They'll add more Support, but Ghost will be main support for the gig. up and coming with a huge fan base!
regardless of who's added, you'd imagine its in Ghost's contract that they're final before metallica..

are they really? ive been able to buy 'sold out' tickets from ticketmaster in the past

well as it stands they are.
and i doubt they'll release more
espeically when they'll want to sell the main centre

how do you actually know this for sure, is it the fact these tickets cannot be purchased from ticketmaster at the moment, if so, its not a guarantee that they are in fact sold out, ive been able to purchase sold out tickets via ticketmaster in the past, after more tickets eventually become available, this occurs sometimes unannounced. ive been told by some ticketmaster agents that this has been occurring for years, long before the world of the internets.

Wild guess here, but Therapy and Clutch to be added. Unsure if they'd be big enough now, but it'd be cool

I'd be happy with that! Going to see Therapy? in Derry in March

Don’t feed the trolls.

Without anymore pointless posts like the one above I have been to Slane, camping this time. Yes queues aren’t great for anything and getting home will take a long time. Just prepare for that.

But the craic will be mighty!

"but the craic will be mighty!". You have just proved my point. Thank you.

Anyone hearing any murmurings of possible other support acts been kinda humming and hawing about going and need something to tip me over the edge to just buy a ticket, was at guns and roses in 2017 and thought it was a bit sh1t tbh

Yeah no ones allowed have any fun at Slane. We’re all there for the music only and proving how we are real Metallica fans and didn’t just jump on the Black Album bandwagon. Carrying ticket stubs from the Top Hat and SFX is preferable.

Yawn. Of course people can have fun at Slane, and of course people can just go to have a good day out regardless of who is playing. But a gig at Slane is unlike any other music event in this country due the high amount of eejits that are drawn to it. It's like the musical version of the ploughing for a lot of people.

Any chance at all of bringing drink in, do you get patted down or what?

Lots of searching and the people have different rules at each point which is annoying. At gnr it said you could bring a small bottle of water walked through the first three checkpoints no issue and they had seen it. Got to the fourth one and they said no water despite me showing the email stating I could bring it. At the next one they said my handbag was on the large side and it would be taken off me. This bag was not even that big I just had a rain jacket shoved in so it looked bulky.

It’s a frustrating walk in but they didn’t find my hidden sandwiches mwah ha ha

My ticket isn't appearing in my online history on ticketmaster.ie, I bought one of the metclub experiences, would that have been sold through a different site or different ticketmaster?

Same as, bought 2 x Shortest Straw Packages but I certainly wouldn't start worrying yet at all.
