Anyone got the presale code for tomorrow? :o
was wondering that myself.
If I dont get a fuckin ticket for this I'll break into the f**king Point/O2.
European dates sold out in under 10 mins, might try the 2nd Paris show, and London and Birmingham. At least one of them any way.
On a related note, Co.Down band The Answer landed the support slot for the American leg of the tour!
I thought they would have done an outdoor show. I'll be looking for tickets to this. Anybody finding out the presale info, please PM me!
Aye the Answer are deadly.
Fair play to em getting that gig.
should be a deadly show. Was trying to get on the official website but no joy! where does a man get the presale code????
BkNBlk
(ssssssssssssshhhhhhh - its a secret).
Wasn't the pre-sale due to start at 9am today? Nothing on ticketmaster yet.
That site is a bloody disaster. I keep seeing the sale page and then it disappears again.
two tickets secured
Quotetwo tickets secured
How? It says not on sale on ticketmaster.ie!
used wifes o2 phone to get a priority number. Think they are all gone
If there all gone then obviously there was no presale on ticketba$tard as I;ve bene on it since 8.45! >:(
the way it worked was you sent o2 a text. They sent you back a number and then you went on ticketmaster and booked them. If you register on the ac dc site for 40 dollars you get access to a block of tickets specific to members. If you dont get tickets you can apply for yous fee back.
What was the number you had to text?
http://www.o2blueroom.ie/EventListing.aspx
Thats the link it was 51020
I was in such a f**king panic i nearly booked two tickets to go and see "Pink"
Cheers. Says sold out :(
Got 2 standing tickets. Feeling very happy about myself. Will try get tix to London or Birmingham on Friday as well. Cant get enough of the DC.
I see some bastards selling them on E-bay for €400, wankers whoever they are!
Is there a limit on the number you can buy in one go or a limit per card? I cant miss this they are unreal.
2 per card i believe, might be different on friday,
This is gonna be awesome. Cannae wait mon
Listen to the new tracks on RTE.ie

Why would u bother, every song they play sounds the same. Much like any BRAND, if they stick the label on it, the punters will buy. Angus and his school shorts, FFS & their "new" single sounds anything but new. :'(

Yes, essentially they have one song, but what a song!
I wouldn't get so upset about it.

Absolute balls. The Bon Scott era albums are essential listening as is Back In Black. Simple, down to earth rock and roll. They havent changed to suit the trends they just do what they do best. Also the best live band on the planet by miles. As for Angus and his stage costume. So what its a gimmick that stuck, if you cant see the humour in it then perhaps your better of not going. Go watch Coldplay some other dull as dishwater act.
Good luck to u pal, if your into one trick ponies. The guy that replaced Scott, appears to have a similar singing tone. Just checked out some of their stuff on You tube, and stand by previous comments.
AC/DC = Bland, one tune band, who's calling card appears to be man in shorts leaping about.
The Go Betweens, now there's a fine Aussie band.
First gig I ever saw was AC/DC in the point and to this day it is still the greatest.

suit yourself. but your way out if you think Angus is "the calling card of AC/DC". 200 million albums sold just on the back of a guy wearing a school uniform. Hmmmm not likely. And to assume that because someone likes AC/DC therefore makes "one-trick-ponies" their thing. Dont be silly. AC/DC dont do jazz break-downs or throw folk-tunes into their set and we dont want them to. The Grateful Dead and Led Zeppelin do that much better and when they come round (if ever) i'll happily go along see them.
Considering they dont play pop music, were "uncool" for long periods of the 90's and 00's (and perhaps their whole career except perhaps now) and havent released a great album by their own standards in 20 odd years, well they must be done something right along the way. After all you could say that about U2, The Rolling Stones, Metallica and Paul McCartney.
Anyway music's all about taste and if the Indie rock like Go Betweens float yer boat, thats fine, but I wont be turning off
Highway To Hell for
Liberty Belle And The Diamond Express any time soon
Any luck getting tickets on ticketmaster this morning? - I'm not having any luck :(
They are all gone
Seems like it. they must have sold out in seconds !
Frig sake. What genius organised this for the Point? ???
Something stinks
I was on from before 9am on the fone & net and at 9.01 nothing was avail :(
Exactly the same here under the bar. there seems to have been no chance at all.
Didn't even get a sniff
It seems they went on sale at around 8-55. My brother wanted to buy 4 but he was only allowed 2. He got two and rang me straight away. took me 20s to get onto the site and they were all sold out. Should have put ac/dc in slane instead of oasis me thinks.
I'm the same but the lad beside me here at work did get 2 just after 9. Ah they will have to put on another show such is demand.

It looks like they sold all tickets in the pre sale, which I have never come across before. By 9.02 I was getting nothing online, it does look like there was nothing on sale!!
There were lads queing since yesterday outside shops I hear, I can imagine many went home dissappointed. RDS, Croker, Lansdown, Pairc Tailteann even would be better. maybe they'll add another date.
Same as above, must have gone in seconds. Some coup for the point to get them and boost the venue's profile again, but as far as AC/DC fans are concerned it's a joke.
Let me be the first board member to ask for a ticket.........

Exactly, why haven't they getting them for Slane or Croker........ Oasis - Oh Gee, they've never played in Ireland before have they ::)
The only logical reason that they haven't played Slane or Croker is that this isn't a stadium tour and all the venues seem to be smaller arenas, therefore the type of sound system, acoustics etc would be very different.
One plus point abut it being an indoor gig is that it should be louder!
When I rang Ticketmaster this morning the pre recorded message tickets didn't go on sale untill 10 which was 10 minutes ago
Got a ticket for Birmingham now as well, wa-hey,
Another factor I think AC/DC are playing a small venue, they came in 96 and could only half fill the Point and had to cancel a show in the Odyssey with poor sales. How things change (yet AC/DC stay the same ;) )
Gerry Ryan announced more dates to be added just a few minutes ago, stay tuned
*****2nd show in London was announced and was sold out in minutes*****
will there be any more in Ireland lad
well they play Dublin on the 18th, then Manchester on the 21st so a date on the 19th might just be possible. but since they already announced London perhaps not sadly. but fingers crossed.
Got 2 first thing. Don't even know if they're seating or standing - just left it as 'best available' so as to waste as little time as possible. Roll on next April!

Looking at those dates, two things appear clear:
They need 1 clear day to travel between cities - especially likely on either side of the Dublin date, given the overseas element.
They don't appear to want to play 2 nights in a row, given that the second London date isn't directly before or after the first one.
This probably makes the chance of a second Irish date unlikely.

I was at that 96 gig (26th june - same night as Germany beat england on penalties) and it was fairly full and loud from what I thought !
Great gig.

I was at the gig in the point and I am certain that it was earlier than 96.

They are only playing one venue over 20,000 seats in their North American tour as well - here, twice - once in November and once in January
Well I wasnt at those gigs but I was told that they played in the Point in 96 and that it was nowhere near full. But if you were there, I cant really argue.
They would have been on the Ballbreaker tour in 96. In 92 it would have been the Razors-edge tour. They didnt bother with us in 2000 for the Stiff Upper Lip tour, which would suggest there wasnt much interest then. but who knows

there were two gigs in the point - I was at both (brother who was with me wants me to get two tickets for this new gig).
the 'Razors edge tour' could have been 92 alright (I still have two of the 'Angus Dollar bills that' came down in the 'moneytalks' song) and the 'ballbreaker' tour in 96
Do they play any/many pre Back in Black songs in their concerts?
I have to say that I hate Brian Johnson voice and post Back in Black their songs do not seem to have the humour and tongue in cheek that was prevalent in Bon Scott's delivery.
If you like Bon Scott, try the 1998 album "Bon Scott Rarities". Brilliant and so unfortunate that he died when he did.

I stand corrected LB and I have to say I am disgusted with myself!! Me thinking that I was the big fan with all the albums, the t-shirts, the posters and patch covered Denim and I don't remember anything about a 96 gig (which I obviously wasn't at) :-[
Most have been so wrapped up the club's run to victory that season that in the words of mettalica "nothing else mattered" :D
To answer you Denn, Yes they do, check out AC/DC live to see
When I saw them in 2000 they played mostly Bon SCott era songs. Only Back in Black songs, For those about to rock, thunderstruck and stiff upper lip were played from johnson era.
memory serves me correct they played
problem child
hell aint a bad place to be
bad boy boogie
up to my neck in you
dirty deeds
whole lotta rosie
highway to hell
let there be rock
shot down in flames

Whereas taking tickets away from genuine fans, just so that you can make a mint is a good thing?
It's not something i've ever done myself, but touting is sickening (and a concert is no different that tickets for the AI final) and i wouldn't lose any sleep if such people were inconvenienced.
It's a good thing for the seller yeah. It just economics. Obviously fans are going to be aggrieved. The onus is on Ticketmaster et al to practice measures to prevent this, and they seem to have taken positive steps in this regard over the past few years.

And i assume you think it's just economics when All Ireland final tickets go up on ebay?
Oh, and drug dealing is good for the seller. And it's just economics. But it's not right.
I didn't say they were on top of it, I said they had taken measures in the last few years :-\
Yes, it's economics at work. Again, I'll emphasise that it's annoying for the average fan when these 3rd parties intervene.
I never said it was 'right.' I wouldn't call it 'wrong' either though.

I don't hate Brian Johnson's voice but I loved Bon Scott's. I was heartbroken when he died. Luckily I got to see them on the "Highway To Hell" tour in the Ulster Hall in 79. Got to see them with Johnson in 81 and 85 at Castle Donnington Monsters of Rock. Saw them in Dublin sometime after that but I must be gettin oul now as I've lost interest. I'm half deaf as well.

Does that mean you don't know?
Anyway, i googled it...

Ticketmaster bought up a company that resold tickets, so that they could do it themselves... you're right - definitely a positive step in tackling this issue. ::)
Na it didnt mean I dont know. Im sure if you look harder you will find more steps taken. Or did you just ignore them to further whatever point it is you're trying to make?
But anyway, im finished with this debate now.
Just got myself two for MSG November 12, cant wait! :)
was on ticketmaster at 9.02am for tickets to dublin and had my mate queue up at a ticketmaster outlet from 7am....nothing on the internet, seemed tickets never went on sale at all they went soo quick and my mate was 2nd in the queue and they announced that tickets were sold out :@:@ any fancy sellin 2 tix for dublin :P:P £75 each ???

But you'll hear the music and create your own Moshpit/drunken tom foolery. Why do you need to see the stage? Maybe there will be screens?
I'd rather Croke Park myself.
I dont know why it wasnt Croke Park from the outset, they could fill it 10 times over!
Well thes pring tour is an arena tour throughout Europe, so it was always going to be indoors. Croke Park in April could be a bit chilly as well!
Still tickets to be had for UK shows if any of you are interested at these prices...

Well someone told me today that Tony Fenton on TodayFM again announced they'd play Phoenix park in the summer,
What seems definate there will be an outdoor show in the summer, where it will be doesnt bother me a whole lot
Heard they may be head-lining Reading.
Has anyone tried the link at the bottom of the Gaaboard page (there as I write this)? I thought Dublin was sold out?
I've heard word that the wheels have been put in motion for a gig in Punchestown. I'll keep ye posted.
Please do!!
Punchestown as in Oxegen or just a gig on their own?
20th June is the date that I keep hearing. I think this clashes with another big gig and also a trip to France for me. So hopefully it might be a different date.
My tickets arrived in the post today. Yeoooooooow!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
26 Jun 2009 London GB Wembley Stadium
28 Jun 2009 Dublin IE Punchestown Racetrack
30 Jun 2009 Glasgow GB Hampden Park
Tickets???
you mean when will they be realeased?
That hasnt been announced. Hope to God its after Christmas!
Yeah sorry that was just my excitement could only get one word out :D
Hoping its after xmas too!
Tickets are going on sale for Wembley next Wednesday, so I would assume that Hampden and Punchestown are going to be around the same time.
Not great timing but I might just do without food for 2 weeks, it shouldnt be a problem.
Next Friday apparently.
Does anyone Know for sure when the tks are going on sale for the P,town Gig? I looked on Ticketmaster and there was no mention of the concert at all???
Their official website is down at the minute. but they had the dates for ticket releases for the gigs in April so keep checking back there.
www.acdc.com
2FM announced at lunchtime that tickets go on sale at 8am this Thursday morning :)
Far too many tickets going on sale at this time this year. On top of the GAA tickets, you have the likes of Morrissey and AC/DC (and Coldplay if you wanted, and probably plenty more). It's all a bit much coming up to Christmas.
I think i'm going to give Punchestown a miss - it's a real hassle to get in and out of, and would have been so much easier if it was Croke Park or the RDS. I'll be happy enough with the gig in the Point.

Ok a few friends have got emails saying Thursday 8am, so I'd be inclined to go with them. €75 though, bit steep.
Just seen it on ticketmaster and it says tickets go on sale this thursday at 8;00AM. It wasnt listed under AC/DC gigs but when I looked up my preferences it came up with the AC/DC tag.
According to AC/DC fanclub Site the fan club allocation go on sale on Friday morning.
Got my expenses from work back today so got a ticket for Wembley gig this morning, and hopefully another tomorrow morning will mean I get to see them 4 times next year.
IF I get 2 tomorrow morning, I wonder would there be anyone looking to swap for the Dublin gig?

Rock out with yer c*ck out!
Tickets secured, happy days, roll on june !

I will swap 2 punchestown tickets for one Point Depot or 4 for 2 if anyone is interested.
Thanks
Yeeeeow - just got 2 tickets handed to me for tonight's show - can't wait :D
Where's that on Gab?
County Downs very own The Answer are opening for them on their US tour and in the O2 in Dublin. There is a good chance they will open for them in Punchestown as well. I hear there will be a few bands playing support slots in Punchestown but who else exactly remains to be seen.
Rogers Centre (formerly known as the Skydome)
what a fecking show ;D ;D

Cant wait. Ian Dempsey played Thunderstruck this morning at 7.15, great start to the day, the kids werent too sure what Daddy was doing, the wife just turned away! A lad in the job with me was at the wrestling on wedensday and he said the 02 is fantastic. I expect after saturday night to be still deaf sometime in August.
Not long now my fellow rockers :)

Here dont be posting set-lists. thats a no-no.
SOme tickets went back on sale earlier today I heard. You might want to look.
Cant wait, less than 24 hours. By all accounts London was savage.
Seen them at madison square garden and it really was class,there playing in jersey soon and needa get tickets for them.
Enjoy ;D
Just home. Unreal! Nothing more to be said.
That was indeed a savage night. I know a few people who saw them for the 1st time last night and were totally blown away by it.
Thats me second time seeing them, I think they have got better. Brought my two 16 year old nephews and the one word they kept saying was "Savage"
Thought the new Point was excellent. Had four pints before the gig, walked up to the bar each time, no queuing nothing, paid 5.50 for pints of stout.
Was a good gig alright, although the speakers were in the way of the video screens if you were away to the side. Otherwise it was a brilliant show and a great atmosphere.
Amazing to see a Guinness poured in about 3 seconds as well - fastest taps i've even seen!
The Answer went down pretty well too, although i think they got a bit shafted, sound-wise.

Angus Angus!!!
How does he still do it!!
Just read there, Angus is 54, Malcom 56 and Brian Johnson is 61. Still have a bit to go to catch up with Mick Jagger and them lads but then again they dont put on a show quite like the 'DC ;)
What were your thoughts on The Answer Juice?
Just back from the Birmingham gig,. What a feckin night. Probably not a s good as Dublin for the crowd but the band were just as sharp. Cant get enough of the ACKY DACKY!!!
To "Answer" (ahem) your question Corporal. They had poor sound for Dublin but it was much better tonight. I only have thier first album and enjoyed the tracks of that, Might need to hear the new ones on CD didnt quite get into them live, though "On and On" is a good one. They got a really good reception in Birmingham tonight, fair play to them, few bands have the chops to open for AC/DC.
QuoteTHIN LIZZY has been confirmed as "special guest" on the following AC/DC shows:
June 26 - England, London - Wembley Stadium
June 28 - Ireland, Dublin - Punchestown Racetrack
June 30 - Scotland, Glasgow - Hampden Park
For more information on the THIN LIZZY 2009 tour dates, go to www.thinlizzyonline.com.
THIN LIZZY's current touring lineup is as follows:
Scott Gorham - Guitar
John Sykes - Vocals, Guitar
Tommy Aldridge - Drums
Francesco DiCosmo - Bass
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I know there will be those who aren't so keen on the 'reformed' Thin Lizzy, but I urge anyone who is put off by them to put sentimentality aside and watch them because they absolutely floor the place live. Seen them twice and they are a close 2nd to AC/DC in putting on a live performance.
Starting to get the buzz about the gig now ;D
Went to Def Leppard on Friday night and it has me warmed up, getting together an aul compliation CD for the bus journey down from the wee county and it got me thinking!!!
The double live album in 92 had some songs from the Dublin gig, Sin City was one and pretty certain Thunderstruck has to be from Dublin with the ole,ole. Here is the question I have (I'm expecting the juice at least to know the answer) how many other songs from the album are from the Dublin gig???

warm y'all up ;D
Thin Lizzy have had to pull out due to drummer breaking his collarbone in Bike Accident!!!Disappointing, they have been replaced by the Blizzards! Strange one I would have thought, their indie pop tunes are nice to listen to on the radio and sing along to, they have some good tunes and are prefect for the summer festival scene...... But, I would have my doubts as to how they will be suited to supporting AC/DC!

Sorry was away in France there, I dont know if there are anymore from Dublin than the 2 you mention. Theres a few from Donnington as well.
Sadly I cant make Punchestown anymore, will just have to make do with Wembley Stadium on friday. Gutted about Lizzy but I dont think I'd be able to catch any of the support groups anyway, might even miss the start of AC/DC which would be a crime.

No, the answer are still first on stage, with the Blizzards coming in as a straight replacement for Lizzy
Glyder would have been a better replacement than the Blizzards. I'd imagine there'll be a scrum at the bar during their set.

1. got tickets for this gig just at weekend off an associate; it has the name of the original purchaser along the end; will this cause problems on the day (not a regular to these sorts of things!)
2. additionally, it says on tickets that gates open at 4; roughly what time would acdc be expected on stage; and what time would these other bands you mention be starting it;
coming down from NI, just need an indication of what time to set sail at etc; dont want to go completely mad; as i need to be in some sort of nick for doin a bit of work come monday :-\

1. Once the associate is reliable and hasn't printed it ten times with the intention of walking in the gate himself at 4pm then I don't think thats a problem
Car Parks 2pm, Gates 4pm, The Answer 5pm, The Blizzards 6.30pm, AC/DC 8.30
From Dundalk, down the M1, M50, N7 would take just over an hour with a clear run. But you won't get a clear run, so add at least an hour on to that I'd say
Full details on www.mcd.ie
Louth Exile - never met the guy before in me life, but he looked honest enough, lol;
ah, twas through a friend of a friend, so dont expect shenanigans;
cheers for directions also; but may be staying with a friend in dublin rather than goin straight there;
you seem a knowledgeable sort ;) should i anticiapte much hassle going from dublin (dunno what part!) to punchestown?
If said friend were to drive us, would it take him an age or would it not be so bad?
How longs a piece of string :D
Depends what part of Dublin, what time of day (the derby is on up the road in the curragh), what car park ye are heading for, and how fast your mate drives :D
I have a spare ticket for the Gig in punchestown. Face Value. PM me if interested but try do it today so I can sort ye out in time.
I still have 3 tickets myself if anyone is interested. Will take below cost just to get rid of them! ( not trying to Gazump Myles!!! well ok i am..)

Punchestown is a disaster to get in and out of. Allow plenty of time. Having already seen them in April, the venue this time put me off going - if it had been in Croker or the RDS, i'd be there.

Probably more. Depending on what time you're heading at.
Going to see them in Giants Stadium in July - can't wait.
Thunder!
What a show that was yesterday......Angus is a legend !!!
Yeah, sounded deadly, a number of non AC/DC fans went along and i bet none left dissappointed. Wembley was class as well, lucky to get home at all though. Thank GOd for delayed trains. Read an article in the Times there, it seems AC/DC have as much a grip on rural Ireland as the GAA if the journo is to be believed.
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/weekend/2009/0627/1224249636218.html
Rumours of them touring next year playing all of Back In Black. Would be sweet.
been to many gigs over the last 10 yrs and that was one of the best!
I was at the gig yesterday, wouldn't be a big fan, but it was a good concert. It was an absolute joke trying to get in and out though - nowhere else in Europe would that infrastructure be deemed acceptable.
Was at the show. It was tremendous. However, the organisation to let people out was a disgrace and I am surprised no one got hurt. People were knocking barriers and storming towards buses.
I've seen a lot of concerts over the past 25 years and that ranks with any. Simply superb. Angus Young has the energy of a 20 year old.
Before anyone starts whining about the traffic/buses etc. remember Punchestown is in the middle of nowhere. Waht did you expect, a train service??
I parked in Naas and walked in and was back in the car an hour after the gig and straight home, no probs.
Fantastic show. I'm not an ACDC fan but went along to this out of interest - always heard they were great live.
I'm not a prude, and like my pint as much as the next man but the amount of piss heads (and i use the word piss deliberately) there would put me off an outdoor concert like this again. Too many people out of their heads acting like low life. A lot of people in this country can't handle their drink. But the band themselves were unreal - especially oul Angus. He can play guitar.

have to agree 100% with all of this post Armamike. There were some drunken bombscares ! As you said i'm no prude either and i was drinking beer from 10 yesterday morning, but wasnt anywere near the shape of a lot of these guys. Would make me think about an event like this again. Probably wouldnt have to think too hard either. Concert itself was fantastic.

It didn't help when I ended up in Bray on the way down.
I was expecting to get kept in the car park for at least an hour but was back to the car and away in no time.
Class concert but an absolute shambles organisational wise. A 4/5 mile walk in and an absolute disgrace with the buses at the end. I'll never be at Punchestown again that for sure
Jaysus, didn't have any of the problems in relation to in and out!! We left the Potin Still after the Connaught match, headed through Johnstown and got into the venue in no time. We travelled by minibus, we were maybe an hour getting out of the place, but that was no big deal, for what was a mighty gig.
How in the name of god do they do it? I'd have to say my favourite songs on the night were TNT, Rosie, Let there be Rock. There were a few curve balls that you mightn't have been expecting like Dog Eat Dog and four off the current album. The whole gang of us thought it was amazing.
The cousin took this photo from my shoulders during let there be rock, what a shot
(http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc220/JoesExile/IMG_0956.jpg)
I came in from the city with Dublin Bus as widely advised by promoters, gardai etc. First up it seemed to me that pretty much no special allowance for buses or at least none worth a damn was in place. Took us 3.5 hours to get from Dublin to Punchestown. I didn't mind too much as I got there in time and had a few cans on the bus to pass the time. Now at the end of the gig was when the joke started. There were clear signs where to go to get Dublin Bus and a tool with a loud speaker informing us too. So into a big field we went to queue up in a big long zig zag line. We could see the buses come at first empty and fill up from our queue and things moved a bit but then all ground to a halt and every Dublin bus that came was full before it even got to the queue. After an hour of standing without moving an inch people lost the plot and started knocking down barriers. It was dangerous enough, a big crowd and large heavy steel barriers being knocked. No place for kids. So the crowd tried to get to the buses. Pretty much we had to walk up the road in the direction the buses came from to find that people were way up the road being allowed to board them. Gardai, security and Dublin Bus people standing looking and scratching. Such a bunch of useless f**kers I have never seen before. It was after 2am when we got back to the city. So much for prioritising public transport, would have been better to drive.
Jesus Christ why do people have to moan so much about piss head ands queue's for buses at concerts. I've been to about 10 gigs in the last 9 months and it's always the same reaction from people on this board ,
"I had to wait 2 hours on a bus"
"Every teenager I seen was off their face"
"The stewards just stood around and did nothing"
"I had to que too long for a drink"
"The sound system was shite"
"Half the crowd where pilled out of it"
"I'm never going to a concert again"
Really what you should say is:
"I'm just a sour oul **** who is over the hill and is jealous of everyone having the craic"
It's a f**king concert. These things are part of it. Get over it. It people like you lot that spoil the whole thing.
I 100% agree with you Roll Out :D
Best one I heard was yesterday off a young lady in Carrick. "The rain was terrible and the burgers were expensive"
I enquired further and while we were giving it loads up the front during Rosie they were up the back at the bar eatin burgers!! DURING ROSIE FFS! :D It couldn't have rained hard enough during Let there be Rock.
That concert has lifted me all week long, the old ticketmaster spam shows that there are a tribute act playing the button factory on the 18th, was considering it until I checked them out on my space

These things are part of it if you accept them. Why should you pay €80 for a concert and then have a crap soundsystem? Or have to wait 2 hours because the organisers can't get the public transport sorted?
As for the queues at bars - i just don't understand this. The amount of money that could be made here if there were enough bars - it's madness on the part of the organisers.
For the record, I was at the gig in The Point in April - good crowd and no queues for anything - straight to the front of the bar every time (and I was only going at intervals, when they're normally bunged).
Those who claim the sound is crap are usually those to be found standing in between 2 relay stations. Just move closer to one of them and hey presto!

The point I am making is that concerts are like this and all these things are part of the experience. Concerts aren't just about the music. They're about the craic, the warm beer, the half cooked burgers, the mud, the rain, the not giving a f**k about anything for a while, having a day out with your mates, getting soaked with a pint from someone miles back and not caring, swinging you tshirt over you head, having a total stranger lift you on their shoulders, being in the company of people who know every word of every song just like you, the mosh pits, singing your favourite song as loud you can along with 80000 people, seeing your mate with a girl who you wouldn't put your boot in never mind your tool and just laughing it off.
Thats what happens at concerts and thats why you pay 80 Euros for a ticket. So next time your standing in a que for a drink or a bus for 2 hours try being sociable and have the craic with the person beside you instead of standing with a sour face thinking about what radio phone in show your going to call in the morning. If you go to a gig just to hear the music you would be safer staying at home and listening to a live album in the comfort of your living room. Otherwise spend your 80 euros on a opera ticket or a musical in some theatre. I hear they are very respectable occasions.

The stuff in your first paragraph - fair enough - none of that is down to the promoters. I've been in the mosh pit, i've been soaked, i've sung along to the songs..... who's complaining about any of that?
But in relation to the rest of it - if your accept second best, that's what you get. Such lack of organisation and facilities is common, especially in Ireland, but that doesn't make it okay.
I've been to hundreds of festivals and gigs - both working and as a punter - and have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. If some promoters can ensure their events have proper transport arrangements, proper bar facilities etc, then there's no excuse for the rest.
Take a visit to a festival in Europe, then come back and compare to Oxegen / Slane / Punchestown - you don't need to go to an opera or a musical.
And I don't call any radio shows.
Been going to festivals in Europe more often these days. Better craic, less knackers, better choice, better organisation generally, better weather, sexier women and everythings generally cheaper.
The festivals in Germany are the best run in my experience.
Only go to smaller festivals at home. Would have to take something ridiculously good to get me to go back to Oxegen or Slane or a big festival in the UK.
The brother told me last night that one of his mates is away off to a Belgian festival, something like €150 for a four or five day ticket!!! Its €106 for a one day ticket to Oxegen!!
Anyway, this thread has got highjacked..... AC/DC RULE!!!!!

"The sound system was shite"
"Half the crowd where pilled out of it"
"I'm never going to a concert again"
Really what you should say is:
"I'm just a sour oul **** who is over the hill and is jealous of everyone having the craic"
It's a f**king concert. These things are part of it. Get over it. It people like you lot that spoil the whole thing.
That's bollix . Having some c**t trying to pish down the back of your leg isn't part of anything - not in my world anyway.
I've been to enough good open air concerts over the years to know my apples from oranges - half the knackers at the DC concert didn't get to see the fookin concert never mind have a good time.

Damn Straight!
Rumours that they are touring next year just playing the Back In Black album in its entirety as its 30 years old.
I'll attend those shows if its true but if I were so privileged to pick an AC/DC set list it would be this:
1. Riff Raff
2. Bad Boy Boogie
3. Whats Next To The Moon,
4. Shake a Leg,
5. Its A Long Way To The Top,
6. Girls Got Rhythm
7. Rock and Roll Train
8. Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution
9. High Voltage
10. Let There Be Rock
11. Problem Child
12. Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be
13. Hells Bells
14. Highway To Hell
15. For Those About To Rock,
16. If You Want Blood
wishful thinking of course.
good oul list there juice, not many arguments (apart from the odd glaring omission ;))
which reminds me; huge fan of the old "bad boy boogie" number, was really wantin it to come up at some stage on sunday;
a chap beside me remarked that they never do it live, which i accepted at the time;
i was wondering i any of the hard core fans knew if there was a reason behind this at all?
also, have to agree with the majority of the posters on here; theres an acceptable elvel of tolerance for the sh1t you have to go through to get to a concert, and while there, and on the way home;
standing in a massive snake like queue, while feckers jump barriers, and stewards and gards do nothing is not my idea of fun; we stood in the queue for an hour, and would still have been in the queue for another hr minimum till they barriers were tumbled; not my idea of fun i tell thee

I'd rather a straight set. How long is Back & Black? It's a great album, but it wouldn't be much of a concert on its own.
Maybe they'll do something like the latest Manics tour, where they played their new album in full for the first half of the gig and then played a greatest hits set.

Back In Black is about 40 minutes, they'll probably do as you say, play the hits after.
RE: jibbajabba
I picked songs they havent played in years or ever. But in regards Bad Boy Boogie, they played it on the Stiff Upper Lip tour in 2000.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAwrB7PLgVc&feature=related
They never play Its A Long Way To Top. SOme say its because of the Bagpipes but some say that it was Bons signature tune and they dont play it as a mark of respect. But i'd love to hear them play it.

When asked about the band's name, Lawless has avoided giving a straight answer; in an interview he answered "We Ain't Sure, Pal". its hardly white anglo saxon prods as Blackie is half native American.

well when I saw them live years ago in philly (1989) they shouted out what the bands name meant
'we are sexual perverts' !
Blackie lawless always rubbished the notion that it was anything to do with white anglo saxon prods - though it means feck all even if it did in relation to the band live !
Might go to that gig in Dec.

More Dates to Follow. After the crowds they got this year in Ireland they'd be mad not to come back.
Already have my tickets for Mastodon and KISS next year, Iron Maiden are touring as well next year.
2010 is going to be a good one gig wise!
They should do Slane next year and reclaim it for proper rock bands
I'd almost rather they didn't come back for a year or two - i'd hate to miss them, but with Metallica and 2 Pearl Jam gigs already in the pipeline, it could be a bit too much for the wallet to handle! Maybe if they came to Belfast and there were no other travel/accommodation costs it would be ok.

How the feck did you get let go to that at your age, I'm a year older and wasn't let go, the brother went. We have 7 definitely wanting to go in my family, aged 14 to 52, it will be hard to get tickets.
€87.50 it's a bit steep. Seen them in Kings hall early 90s and punchestown. Two brilliant gigs but couldn't justify paying that for a one off day.

Fairly run of the mill price I'd say? I took a notion the other day I wanted to go to Fleetwood Mac. The tickets when I went to my local ticketmaster outlet were €135 EACH, I passed on them...
One thing that makes me slightly cross is the date. July 1st is just after the longest day, Id say we'll not get the full effect of their lightshow.

Yeah mate I hear what you are saying, my point was just that the size of a band they are and what their peers are charging I wasn't one bit surprised at what the price is.

Just pulled on the old earphones there and watched it at work. Have to say I didn't expect it to make me feel so emotional. First saw them in the Ulster Hall in 1979 (Highway to Hell Tour). Certainly made me feel old :)
Went to see them in 1988 in the Wembley Area on one of those Makin Traks/ Skelton tours yolks. Disaster of a journey but well made up by the concert 8 rows from the front, the whole place was seated, no mosh pit at the front, magic night. I was 16 at the time.
Seen them again in Belfast with the inflatable Rosie when those inflatables were the height of the technology.
I think I'll give this one a miss as I'd prefer to remember them from my youth rather than wrinkly old men toddling about the stage..
Restricted view, side of stage 69.50 Euro tickets currently for sale on ticketmaster.
Having to give this a miss this time round as my first child is expected to arrive that week. Prices are a bit too steep anyway.
I'm a huge fan and it's probably their last hurrah but I've been lucky to have seen them 4 times on their last two tours. I'm holding out for a few extra European dates to be added later in the year but I doubt it'll happen.
I have that Let There Be Rock vhs too, watched it repeatedly for about two years after I got it.

The music and perf are sensational but the but where Angus gets oxygen then goes back out to play is unbelieveable !!
A good two hour concert last night. The old rockers still have it.
It was some craic, don't know how they still do it.
Did they shake yous all night long?
Deadly show. Every bit as good as Punchestown if not better but quite different in that P'town was fully outdoors. On the pitch last night had the benefit of the sound bouncing off the roof. Wish now I'd booked Wembley as well. You'd swear Malcolm Young's nephew was actually the man himself!
Great gig last night!!!

All the other rumors were right - and it was just confirmed today after the release of the new single. First Irish show since 2010
June 22nd Morely Park
June 25 Manchester
June 29 Spurs Stadium
Saturday in Dublin again. Manchester mid week will likely would work out cheaper for those that want to attend.

Ticket prices and accommodation will be scandalous.
Will still be jammers though on the night.

Early 40s Tony. Relax Yourself FFS!
We've been following them around for the last few years and have had a superb experience at each show. Each one different, different opening song, different set list every night. Would love to do Dublin but the prices of accommodation are scandalous. Would be as cheap to go to Madison Square and stay in NYC so I've lumped my luck in for MSG, Wrigley, Seattle, and Montana. If I get 2 I'll be happy.
anyone going to see DKM in Iveagh Gardens?
What was the scramble for tickets like? and were they pricey?
didn't bother this time as had seen them at the Aviva in 2015 and while it was good then just can't see how it could be as good nearly 10 years later. Angus is nearly 70 at this stage.
I popped on earlier, close to 500 yoyos for 3 tickets.. And throw in Ticketmaster being the worst site on the planet.
Tried for steerage tickets.
No luck. All I was offered was crap stand tickets.
Me arse!
£135 for a ticket, steep
I saw on a German website that tickets for one of their concerts in Germany sold out in 8 minutes.
Think it was £70 in the Aviva less than 10yrs ago. There's inflation, and theirs taking the piss!

Was at it with fees and all it was a little over 80 euro.
For standing tickets this concert including fees €156.75 and then add in the price of Dublin accommodation for a Saturday night.
The Promoters know that an AC/DC Concert will sell out. It's all about Maximising profits. They have taken over from the Tout who used to have the 20% to 50% mark-up.
A couple of years ago Taylor Swift only sold 70% of her concert capacity. Promoters were not bothered as the higher tickets prices more than made up for the shortfall. Touts sold tickets for less than face value.
It's nice for real fans to get the chance to see legends for probably one last time (even if their view is a dot on a Stage or on a big screen).
