apologies for the new thread but I just spoke with the central point of contact at MCD (promoter) for the Prince gig and he CONFIRMED:

1) The Symbol Stage is being used but not in the round as we know from the seating chart
2) the gold circle A is to the right of the symbol and gold circle B to the left of the symbol

so everybody is a happy camper now I hope.



candyland appears each time u smile

Good work!

Typical innit Wolfie... the stewards are always the last to know.

riverjones said:

thats sounds good. i'm in A.

i'm sure though that someone will have a problem with being restricted to the right or left side only!!!!! judging by some of the complaints on other threads.

iloveannie said:

yes based on the short conversation I had the steup is per described my squirrel meat. I refused to budge off the phone until I got satisfactory answer and got transferred 3 times, the guy I eventually spoke to seemed to state this as fact, remember they have 50+ concerts on the go at any time and making $ is their priority & not providing details of the stage.

anyway hope its all true, i got A ticket on ebay today - they are selling for peanuts, just 80 euro above TM price ??

SquirrelMeat said:

why so negative??? it's ireland, it might rain, so what! we'll all be too busy dancing to care.

angelcat said:

Eh? Whats negative?!

SquirrelMeat said:

made a mess of that. i meant to include wolfys post about the rain.

riverjones said:

What?? I got A but I want B - I don't wanna be on the F@cking right hand side! They should have called me personally to tell me this, can I swap my ticket??? Is there a gold circle C ticket available right at the point of the symbol neither right or left? Does anyone know if it'll be raining that night? What will the phase of the f@ckng moon?????

bfletcher said:

Apparently it's rainning over A!!! Oh, that's your side...ah shame!!! LOL

No, this is excellent news - I'm not even in the circle (I do not do pitch, simply because it takes over half an hour to fight your way out to have a pee and get back to where you were originally - IF YOU'RE LUCKY!!!) but this needs to go on the original thread cause some guys are ready to sue over their B tickets!!!!

Good one Squirrel, cause you had the best idea from the beginning!!!!!

So.....

Could it actually be like this?? This would make commercial sense (same stage as last year), operational sense to get to and from, and fan sense in that its better for all the fans in the ground.

This would be far too logical for Prince?

irishwolfhound said:

Oooh fireworks..that makes it all so extra special..when you have some interesting news please post it

SquirrelMeat said:

From that mock up it looks like a possible Gold Circle Sections A, B, C & D
When will it ever end???!!!???

darlingomo said:

Lets start the rumour!

SquirrelMeat said:

I reckon your original on where the pointy bit comes out and splits the circle in half.

The goog thing with that Squirrel is when he comes to the point he'll be level with our blocks!!!!

SquirrelMeat said:

Oh my Prince!!!!! C and D gold circle might be where the soon to be fan only tix will be!?!? mmmmmyes!!!

I hope it will be the symbol stage but this is the response I had from Croke Park 'Gold A will be in front of Gold B'

hahahahahahahaha

Well, now, that's just peachy!!! WHO HAS SPARE TIX FOR GOLD CIRCLE A/B!!!! CALL ME....PLEEEEEASSSSE! X

SquirrelMeat said:

It rained at the superbowl!

I have Gold Circle B, and if thats to the left of the symbol - excellent, if its behind A, not as peachy, but hey we will be close enough and I know we'll have a ball. I hate all this worrying about tickets and seats, etc, lol. I recall a time I was happy to be just going to see him!!!!

IRISHFAN said:

I actually have Gold Circle A! In my delerious state on Wednesday morning, I thought thats what I read, but looking back at my confirmation email, its definitely Gold Circle A. Just thought I would share my joy!!!

IRISHFAN said:

Snif snif - I was on a plane on Wednesday morning and by the time I landed Gold Circle was sold out....would have LOVED to go to Dublin but I might wanna wait for Milan now (or, preferrably, Amsterdam/Rotterdam).

But still - lucky you all!

SquirrelMeat said:

I've just noticed Prince on the screens in his assless pants? and the PFU sign, great!

Jeffiner said:

lol, good find, just checked on TM, the hoga stand still hasnt been sold out, tickets for the upper tier are still on sale

angelcat said:

I hope it doesn't rain, I went to Rotterdam for the opening night of the 1990 Nude tour, it rained for the full length of the concert, the concert was abandoned after about 1 hour due to electrical problems, so hopefully no rain !!!!

Didn't Prince cancel the Wembley gigs on the SOTT tour due to being worried about the weather ???
