AC/DC Punchestown 28/06/09

Fajitas!

Races are on, so it'll take a while to get down there, or at least that's my thinking behind it.

Should be a good buzz - Every bar in Dublin was blasting out some AC/DC tonight.

Does anyone know what the story is with buying tickets for the bus from Dublin (Dublin Bus bus) tomorrow? Only got back to Dublin at 5:30pm this evening and ticket sales had closed :-/

Myself and my dad are in Kildare now. Place is hopping. Is it possible to pay for the Dublin Bus service back from Punchestown I wonder?

At 6:40am.... Normally I wouldn't condone this kind of thing but........... FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK.......... it's acceptable to drink alcohol early

You might feel tired later on but when that first strum of the guitar is blasted out around Punchestown you'll be revitalised in a shower of rock and fcuking roll!!!

:eek:

My parents bought the ticket for me for my christmas present! Happy Christmas to me :cool:

Not going for the bus till 4.30, my cousin is coming with us and she's pregnant so we decided to go down a bit later. Gives me time to take the air guitar out and practise though!

Enjoy everybody. Rock on!

Enjoy!

Will be good to hear how the concert went and if the transport back was better than Slane.

Hasnt been good reports this end, just thought I'd see if there was anyone back from it yet. Mr. Smelltheglove is on his way home and said he was one of a large crowd leaving early. Lets see how everyone else rated it, I couldnt go as someone had to look after the kids, we spent the day in the zoo, hubbie says he would have preferred that!

Fajitas!

Eeep, that's not looking good then.

I ended up not going, and left it too late to give away my tickets. Oh well - Maybe I saved myself a soaking.

There was a few people we know that didnt bother going at the last minute, but he usually enjoys every gig so it will be interesting to see the majority verdict.

Nightwish

My bf parked in Goffs but couldnt get on a bus and ended up having to walk to Punchestown.

Red Devil

Can't compare to the point, but a cracking gig expect spoiled somewhat by poor organisation.

Set was slighty shorter than our epic journey out. Left town at 6 and got into the gig at 8.50. Partially caused by late arrivals, but did Dublin bus need to send out the 30 empty buses in advance,

This was topped by the fiasco at the end!

Just managed to make it on to a Dubln bus after the barriers for the queue were broken through as the security were not stopping people breaking the line at the top. Combination of idiots in the queue, but p*** poor organisation and hrard to say if there was not enough security or just no cop on.
Apologies for the bullets, writing on the bus as we move out of Naas.

Pretty scary and could have ended badly, why can we not do the simple things right!

NIBBS

haven't heard from anyone since before the gig - a mate was on a bus before 5 and was still goin nowhere at 7:40, they said to allow for 3 hours for the trip but to be honest at that time it should have been fine......

D4RK ONION

that... Was... Amazing... Incredible... Mind blowing... I was in the pit right up the front. Just wow
