Fatboy Slim - Marlay Park - August 2nd

beans

Saves them having to give them out to punters in Brogan's I suppose, and makes them look good into the bargain.

Not often I would have cause to say this but fair play to MCD.

Just received an email offering me a fre ticket to Fatboy Slim in Marlay park as a goodwill gesture over the Slane debacle.

ie. We are unable to sell this overpriced gig.

JJ

I'm sure they wouldn't give out U2 tickets to the fans who complained about Slane.

Itsdacraic

Jesus all some people want to do is complain.
They were never going to issue refunds for the Slane gig, they are offering free tickets to a similarly priced gig, while I would never usually be one for praising MCD, I feel it's a good gesture.

Ye are like cranky old women.

JJ

This is MCD we're talking about. I think we're allowed to complain like cranky old women.

i got the same offer today, problem is i already bought a ticket!! also they want the email confirmation from slane forwarded to them as proof you were there to get the free ticket.my friend bought the tickets so ive no email to send.

but its true ive heard the tickets really arent selling.just listen to the radio stations, theyre all giving away tickets.the lineup is good, its just the price.

Ok seriously €70 is not expensive at all... you have 5 acts and Fatboy slim is a world class DJ and doing about 3 hours at least... its starting @ 3 til about 11 that night, well worth and sure other acts are charging €80 to play in the O2 and they only do 2 hours at most... so be grateful..

2nd of all I'm a girl and would defo not go on my own to a gig like that... I work for promotions and have been at gigs like this and its very messy and have heard alot of bad stories happening to women and there is no drink allowed in to the gig of any sort.. :mad:

Cant wait for it now... David Guetto is class seen him in Ibiza

tickets are sellng very poor for this know from a guy involved in it or working with it

clearly still not selling if they are giving people tickets because of the hassle they had at Slane........if the weather is good on the day I'd say you'll get a lot of last minute ticket purchases.....

bacon?

wow... tickets for fatboy slim are 70euro...

NIBBS, i was at that ozzfest... if i rember correctly, you had a choice to go in and see the lineup without ozzy, or go to a 2nd rate gig.

Gavin "shels"

Offered a ticket today aswell which I'm going to avail of.

Would love to go to the gig, not paying 70 quid though.

That's a load of rubbish and you know it. He played in New York recently on 24th June 2009, and it was only $40 (28 Euro). He also played in Newcastle on 23rd May 2009 and it was only £15 (18 Euro). There is absolutely no justification charging 70 Euro for this, when similar gigs in marlay park (with even bigger headliners), such as Daft Punk and Kaiser Chiefs were only €49 in 2007.

I work for promotions

Really? Never would have guessed :rolleyes:

The way things are gone this is way too expensive and one thing ive noticed is that you will always get tickets outside the gate at these things, alot cheaper than face value too. Apparently there was a rediculous amount of tickets going for eff all at even the great U2's opening concert last night and a brief look at toutless or gumtree would suggest the rest of their gigs will be the same. If you're interested in this gig make my way up to Marley and your guaranteed to get a cheap one outside it and if by some strange fluke you dont,they'll have lots on sale officially there anyway. I'm going to hold tough and see what the weather is like that day, i cant be doing with standing around in rain for the day.

Marley Park is a totally unsuitable venue for outside concerts, as a rule I tend to avoid anything organised by MCD (for obvious reasons which we're not allowed to mention) and anything at Marley Park.
The thought of a gig at Marley Park organised by MCD is just too much for any sane person to contemplate, the price tag of €70 :eek: is just the icing on the cake.......

I just won tickets! I'm so excited!!!!!!

I went to see Basement Jaxx, Underworld, Mylo in Marley Park in 2005, it was a gorgeous day and Marley Park was just beautiful that day and really made the concert, I remember thinking what a great venue it was.

If it's a nice day next Sunday this gig is gonna be unreal I'm absolutely disgusted I can't go!!!

but1er

Hoping to go to Metallica on Saturday as well, here's hoping that Dizzie is on first, followed by Guetta. I heard that Calvin Harris was amazing at Oxegen so we could do with him playing just before Fatboy. Great venue, saw Digitalism and Justice support Daft Punk there, hope it'll live up to that

Ye well everywhere is different, the same way 90% of the clubs in Ibiza charge up to €60 to get into... like I said tickets for the O2 for some gigs are going for €100... play for 2 hours and then off you go home... €70 for a whole day of music and fun isnt bad....

and ye I work for promotions :rolleyes: so I know what I'm talking about when it comes to gigs....

No one is making anyone buy tickets, so go dont go... but really people stop moaning, i can bet everyone that goes to that on Sunday will wake up monday morning and think €70 well worth it.. savage day!!

Perhaps there is some validity to your points and yes perhaps those who do go will think money well spent.

However this wont be a sell-out and the main reason for that is that people who might have gone along to this gig despite not being Fatboy fans will be turned off by paying €75(including booking fee), as a previous poster said Daft punk was €50 so charging 75 for Fatboy seems a bit much to me.

Does anyone know what time this gig starts at?

andreac

Gates open 1.30, starts at 2.30.

Would be nice to get set times, ive emailed MCD so if i hear anything ill post it.

Thank you.. finally someone sees €70 isnt the end of the world and is looking forward to it as much as me.... gonna be epic,

Its gettin closer lads n lasses! Can't wait! Its gonna be some bank holiday weekend! Any idea what the weather is gonna be like??

xoxyx

Hey - well I'm totally looking forward to this gig. It's our pre-Electric Picnic party and considering the price of a three day ticket to EP, I can live with €70 for a full day of entertainment!
I haven't been to Marlay Park before though so does anyone have the definitive answer on bringing in drink? Is it okay to bring it in in plastic bottles? 'Cause if we have to buy festival drink then the price of the day is going to be a hell of a lot more than €70!!

LKWLSN

What time does it start and end???

and whats the story about drink, can you bring it in or will you be aloud outside the grounds???

please, im in bad need of a definite answer
THANKS

df1985
