Roger Waters 'The Wall' - Aviva Stadium Dublin September 2013!

brenmusic · 09-11-2012 11:02AM #1

Amazing! I literally just wet myself (a small bit). Roger Waters is coming to The Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Wednesday September 18th. Bringing The Wall back to Ireland. Epic.

Cant wait,I was in the O2 last year and it was amazing

Ticket price is a bit harsh though. Should be worth the money nonetheless. Put aside €10 a month and buy a ticket in May, that will take the sting out of it. Surely it won't sell out?

Listed on Ticketmaster with The Darkness and Lady Starlight as support.
It's clearly an error, retained from the Lady Gaga show listing.
Looks absurd though. :rolleyes:
The O2 show was probably the best thing I've ever seen. For those who balk at the price, every cent is writ large on the stage. For sheer spectacle, The Wall performance is hard to beat.

I'm the first one usually to complain about the price of tickets, but I think €69 is a fair price for a show of this magnitude

CiaranK · 09-11-2012 12:04PM

Anyone know if it will be standing or seated. My guess is the €109 tickets would suggest there will be seats and that will be the first block of seating.

delbertgrady · 09-11-2012 12:18PM

Given the size of the stadium, I think it may be fully seated. I know he sold out two shows in the O2, but it's still a bit of a leap to go from 26,000 over two nights in the O2, to 70-80,000 (if the Aviva is pitch standing). Not that I'm doubting Waters' popularity, but I'd rather see it in a full, fully seated stadium, than an undersold, pitch standing one.

Isnt the Aviva only about 40,000-50,000

delbertgrady · 09-11-2012 12:30PM

I thought a standing crowd was more, but I'm not sure.
Either way, it's still a leap in numbers.

Michael Buble (2 nights) = 95,895 (pitch seated) = Official Sell Out
Neil Diamond = 50,108 (pitch seated) = Official Sell Out
The Script = 47,910 (pitch standing) = Not Sold Out
Madonna = 33,953 (pitch standing) = Not Sold Out
Lady Gaga = 37,005 (pitch standing) = Not Sold Out

No gig with pitch standing has sold out so hard to know. The Script was fairly close to selling out so I reckon 52,000 depending on what seats are blocked off and size of production etc etc.

roadmaster · 09-11-2012 06:31PM

i did the aviva tour a while back and the guide said for concerts with pitch standing the capacity is 65000

Where did you get those figures?

Doesn't matter about the jump in capacity really, MCD aren't expecting it to sell out or anything and the tickets are steep enough.

I'm just worried about all the complaints I've heard about crap sound at the Aviva

finbarrk · 09-11-2012 10:29PM

Was the o2 gig good? I might go to this one. I had seen the band back in the 80's. The tour with the big inflatable pig that flew over the audience.

egan2020 · 09-11-2012 10:40PM

For once in my life I'm a bit organised. Just booked hotel for the gig. Usually leave these things till last minute at which stage there are either no rooms left or some rooms are available at extortionate prices.

lertsnim · 09-11-2012 11:44PM

YES!!!!

doc19827 · 13-11-2012 12:44PM

Does anyone know if the gig is setaing and standing? or an all seater affair

Have heard different things

I got my tickets direct from the Roger waters site in a pre sale yesterday

They are gold circle in front of stage tickets

have never been to the aviva for a concert before

Are these good tickets??

Mickolution · 13-11-2012 12:55PM

There's standing tickets.

Yes. If you want to stand, the gold circle is the place to be, if you're willing to pay the extra, since they're bound to be more expensive than the general admission pitch standing tickets. The map on Ticketmaster implies the gold circle area is tiny, but that's obviously not to scale.
Having said that, the sheer scale of this production means that anywhere on the pitch is going to afford you a good vantage point, and - unlike conventional rock concerts - there are in fact advantages to being back a bit from the stage for The Wall, in that you can take in the entire spectacle from a distance.

bodhrandude · 13-11-2012 03:46PM

Why is there two Roger Water threads it is still the Wall Live, just saying.

Mushy · 13-11-2012 04:32PM

One thread for each disc on the album

brokenarms · 16-11-2012 10:17AM

Just got a few gold standing tickets. 90euro each give or take with charges included.

If it is anything like the O2. It will be an epic night you will never forget.

Cienciano · 16-11-2012 10:32AM

After the o2, I don't mind handing over €95. Amazing concert.

Sinbad311 · 16-11-2012 10:43AM

Does anyone think this will sell out??

Don't think so. Although, the good seats will go quick enough.

RayCon · 16-11-2012 11:17AM

Have to say I'm apprehensive about this ... don't get me wrong - it's an amazing show (any Waters gig I've been to has been ...) - probably one of the most affecting and visually stunning shows Ive ever seen - however - outdoors in Lansdowne, with the sound at the mercy of the wind and in all probability - lashing rain - I can see myself giving this a miss.

If you were to worry about the rain you'd never do anything in this country! I'm on the premium level, don't have to worry about rain there :cool:

Alas , that was plan adopted by half the muppets that surrounded me in the O2 ...

Dartz · 16-11-2012 06:27PM

Just got two seated tickets.

Hard enough to get 'em already...... Needed seats because the second is for a 50-year-old who creaks a little bit.

Mushy · 16-11-2012 11:24PM

I think Im gonna bring my dad to this, Ive always said I would bring him to one, this is the perfect one. He may even know a song or two.

Clanket · 22-11-2012 05:20PM

I was in a rush on Friday when buying tickets. Thought they were expensive at €96 each. I double checked last night and realised I'd bought gold standing section instead of just the normal pitch standing.

Does that mean they're the circle right at the front? Anyone any experience of being in a similar section? Is there a problem with getting in and out for drinks before RW comes on?
