ooft nasty, maybe their changing the seating plan by bringing the seats closer???? not sure if there's still tickets left so maybe their tryin not to leave too big a space between the standing and the seating. i;v got a friend who works in the secc in glasgow and they often rejig the seatin plan when theirs unsold tickets

Flying from Stansted Sat morning, staying at Bewleys nr airport and getting their shuttle bus to and from the show, sitting in Block B, hoping to have a pre show guinness cocktail with some orgers also staying at the hotel before catching the bus, maybe rocking up at the pub (Gibneys?) when we get there, then SHOWTIME!!!!! What is the likelyhood of an aftershow!?

Theres also a pub that used to be called Smyths accross the road from Gibneys. Its called something else now. I have a feeling Gibneys will be ground zero for Prince fans tho!

I'd be more than happy with a nice three hour set at the castle

Well, there is a group of 9 of us in total going, all in the pit, only 3 of us have seen Prince plenty of times before, the rest of the group have never seen him live before and are very excited! We are staying over in Ballsbridge, checking in early, heading on the dart out to malahde for about lunchtime, definitely up for drinks in Gibneys, did someone say there was going to be a Prince cover band playing there? After the show, heading back into city for either an aftershow, or just a good night out as I reckon we'll be hyper and looking to party after the concert! Thats why we decided to stay close to the city centre, for going out after, plus rates in that area were better than hotels very central. Really excited about the concert - just need to decide what to where!!!

Btw, if gates open at 4/4.30 are people heading to the castle earlier than that???

It was deleted because an asshole ruined it for everyone else.

Say no more, I can guess which asshole it was.

Cheers for the Thread Colm - yet again!

Here's a handy Irish site for anyone privately buying & selling tickets - toutless.com

It should be within site rules here as their policy is no touting - so you can only buy or sell tickets at face value or below.

All's quiet on the Irish front...

so hwo bout the purple ballooness ideas for the pit? I thought of this when his highness was meant to grace us wiht his presents at croker. fair to say my balloons were all popped when he cancelled:(

so wat u think peeps? stash a purple balloon in ur pocket! (maybe ur just happy to see me)
