You get a different class of drunken twat in dublin. The o2 was quite rough at times. Irish drunken twats normally just throw up on themselves and pass out.

P.s it is possible to have a beer pre-concert in the (hopefully) sunshine and not get plastered. Afterall there is that afterSHOW to go to right?

if it doesnt sell out..any chance of 21 nights in vicar street ?

To be honest, if Prince was to cancel Croke Park and play in the RDS then I would see this as more of a plus than a negative, he will be less of a dot. The RDS is smaller and I'd rather see him play two nights there than 1 night at Croker.

I'll eat my symbol tamborine if this happens. Yeah it would be great, but i seriously doubt it.

peppeken said:

Can you imagine? That would be heaven.

What's all this about no beer? Where has that come from??

Xemplify said:

At the Police concert recently in Croke, you couldn't bring any beer into stadium. No beer tent! And at a Police gig what is there to do but drink and try and blot out the bad music/performance?!

TheEnglishGent said:

I wouldn't have called Lord Marcus's date on the last night at the O2 a twat! Drunken yes but .....

All these rumours and no word form our Irish Oracle ooooowwwww (perhaps he's howling at the moon!)

Xemplify said:

It is feasible that staff at ticketmaster have relatives, is it not? Cheers for the info Xemplify, hope you're 4 real.

Rorywan said:

That would be rough!! Hopefully it was just to do with Sting being all green and against alcohol and stuff like that, I bet they had a wheatgrass juice tent

re. the humour, no probs dude, I hear ya, and yer mama and yer sista... just joking too

Rorywan said:

A purple tongue is fine Its a brown nose I can't stand

TheEnglishGent said:

That is a relief. One of my friends was at U2 in Croke park and some drunk scumbags pissed into a bottle and chucked it into the crowd.How much would that suck of it happend at Prince?

sexymothafuka said:

Like someone throwing a glowstick at his head in o2? Twats everywhere regardless of booze. However if anyone in the universe deserves a bottle of pee thrown at him it's Bono.

lol

Rorywan said:

this is exact. why i can't stand drunk peeps.
just relax, dance en enjoy the night. And make sure you'll remember it the next.

Happens all the time at Festivals. It has little to do with alcohol if you ask me. Myself and my wife get rat-arsed but don't behave like louts. Some people are just dickheads to start with. Add booze and they get worse. But that shouldn't mean that the rest are penalised due to the minority behaviour.

Not that I want to get defensive about alcohol, despite the fact I work for one of the world's largest brewers (S&N soon to be Carlsberg/Heineken), but let me just say that responsible behaviour is all that is needed. I love having a drink. It's something that I've grown up with. Sometimes I drink a bit too much (whoopee!) and at other times it's purely for the enjoyment of taste and effect.

When it comes to a big event though I tend to limit myself to after the show as needing a pee every 20 minutes is not fun. Apart from at Festivals when it's every man for himself and let's have a few smokes too

Last year at the aftershows I was fairly pissed but I think I danced most of the booze off. Not wanting to be at the front of the stage helps too (can't think of a worse place to try and dance). I don't recall losing my memory of the show then or at any other time before or since. Did lose it once when I'd been out with friends but I put that down to the chasers and the pills

Anwyay, stop having a go at alcohol. It's a lovely drug and just gets bad press due to those that don't know the difference between 'use' and 'abuse'.

iloveannie said:

sure that's true, used to work in a pub, so I'm hardly against alcohol. There is a difference between use and abuse, but there arent's as many who can cope with alcohol the way you do.

Do people really buy tickets this far in advance?

i can't see it being moved either. rds holds 35,000. he would have to do two nights min as i'm sure that there is more than that sold for croker. doesn't make sense to change venue from business point of view.

no harm about beer not being widely avail either. if i have a few before concert i'll be running for the loo every 5 mins. i'd rather enjoy concert, have a few after.

Anyone else check the papers in Ireland today..

They had article on prince and other concerts this year not selling well...

At least prince is not alone!!!
