Hey everyone, just joined to post my thoughts on the concert.
Got there at 2.45pm with my friend, we got to see Tom when he came out to everyone but didn't bother going up to him. The queue was awful - security were incredibly unprofessional, i'm really surprised the promoters want people like that working for them. One guy in particular was horrible (short, kept cursing at everyone) There were a couple of people over from Spain (I think!) and they looked genuinely shocked when someone asked said security man about a pit and he said "f*ck sake, didn't i already f*cking tell all of yaz there won't be one" and muttered some other curse words.
The people in the queue weren't too annoying, just some emo kids in front of me, a group of about 8-10 and 2 of them had backpacks on and kept hitting into us with them. Two of them were playing spitting games (who can spit furthest, etc) for about 20 minutes
My friend and I bought some drinks to have in the queue since we thought it was 21+ for the bar (it was actually 19+ - i'm 20/shes 18 and they served her multiple times anyways!) Ended up drinking way too much but still remember all of the concert!
We got to the front and center for Twin Atlantic but I left after one song and went back to the bar, they were awful and even though the standing area was still a bit empty it was beginning to feel hot and cramped.
For Blink's set I stayed over on the right side and had a decent view. Some guy in a white tshirt who was about 6 feet (i'm 5'3) came up about halfways through the set and started elbowing my boobs and side to try and get in past me, thought it was very rude. I told him to stop once and he didn't, so I got a little p'd off and said "look, stop elbowing me on purpose, its rude" he said "theres 400 people in this row, they're pushing me"...which they weren't, even the guy on the other side of him said nobody else was pushing. I said "if you want to get in by somebody then ask, i have no problem letting you in if you have manners. don't hurt people to get closer" he walked off a few seconds later. Not sure why he wanted to get my place anyways, he could see over everyones heads. He was also taking individual pictures of the security and staff working (while Blink were on stage!) which I thought was a bit weird! Seen lots of other people purposely elbowing people and such, really really rude. Its a rock concert and I expect it to happen but not purposely. Also noticed a lot of younger people at it, i'm 20 but pass for 16/17 but still felt like a bit of a granny compared to most of the other girls at it!
Didn't bother buying any merch, the print quality looked bad for the price. Really wanted a hoodie but a. the design wasn't too good, b. didn't want to pay 50 euros for something that would have a cracked print within a few weeks!
Went to Fibbers afterwards but left at 1ish because it was pretty quiet! (If the guy who made plenty of eye contact with me inside at the bar, in the smoking area and later on O Connoll St sees this - hi! :P)
Really good night, would definitely go back again but next time I won't be queueing for a pit pass, I realized last night just how great the views are all over the arena!0 -

glorified g wrote: »travis barkers drum solo. does anybody know the backin track to this or any of the hip/hop stuff that was played last night. it was catchy
pretty sure it was 99 problems by jay-z.
all i can say is.....EPIC! absolutely loved every minute of it! i was on my boyfriend's back for a lot of it so I had a great view even if we were quite far back! have to admit to getting a little emotional at one point and nearly crying.....yes, i am sad
Loved Josie (though nobody around me seemed to know it...think I sang loud enough for them all though!), Carousel was awesome and Family Reunion was such a fun way to end! fantastic night...went on the big wheel afterwards!! 0 -

Did anyone that was in the queue from about 10ish see those retards who kept throwing little small toy dog things?
Also.
I had a sign that was for hndsm rndsm, but more importantly I was trying to intake people to follow me on twitter on the other side. Anyone get to see it?
yes.
and nope.
though i had a sign for hndsm rndsm....was second row, saw signs getting taken off people around me...so wasnt gonna bother til a bit in..(unless i got barrier), then ended up getting travis's drumstick 3 songs in...and ended up in the corner >.< had to hold it against my chest as if i put my arm down with it..it'd might disappear....was basically dead about 9 songs in as my chest was hurting so much (i'd have been able to handle it, but my arm was there >.<) so got pulled out....
then later was pretty back-ish....held up the sign some woman asked me to stop....:mad: i mean i could understand..but there was plenty of room..and she was the only one complaining...she could have moved half a metre either way and still have the same perfect view.
so yeah my attempts failed

were you the girl with one shoes at the end of the show? i found a black pump style shoe at the barrier and as i was walking away i say a girl with the other shoe on her foot. i told here where the other one was but i dont know if she ever got it.
That could have been me, I went back afterwards and found one, but couldn't find the other one, I don't hold out much hope if getting them back, they were only cheap things anyway, what p1sses me off more is the guy that knocked the camera out of my hand and threw it across the crowd. I'm not a violent person, but if I'd know which of the tonnes of guys it was behind me I would have given him a right slap! I loved that camera:( 0 -

at least they were not expensive shoes. there was some girl standing in front of me for the first three songs in high heels, she stood on my toes so much i though one of my toes was severed. who the feck wears high heels to a bink show?
shame about the camera, they sound like proper dickheads.0 -
