    My friends and I all have standing tickets. My ticket says 'Entrance 1' but my friends say 'Entrance 3'.

    We're all ground floor standing, do you think we could all just queue together at one of those entrances?

    I presume from experience that the standing isn't gonna be divided up, and someone already said there won't be a pit. So what do you think?

    Thanks.

    At Blink the queue at entrance 3 overflowed so we had to queue at entrance 1 so I don't think it matters that much. It's really just for crowd control so everyone isn't queuing at the one door. I'd say ask one of the stewards when you get there, there's always loads of them around. If it comes down to it and you're not allowed you'll easily find them when you get inside so don't fret! :)

    You can get a chance to meet Paramore.
    HMV in Grafton street are selling 300 Paramore tshirts with meet and greet wristbands in them.
    Starting from 9am tomorrow morning. The meet and greet will be before the show.

    I'm gutted because the first Sligo train doesn't arrive until 10am so I haven't a hope. :(

    From experience, the Paramore crowd is usually pretty friendly so just make friends with the people around you and you'll be grand. :)

    Friendly? The queue last year was a disgrace. People were being pushed over barriers, girls were starting fights, it was unreal. Hence the reason I'm not queuing tomorrow. And ticketmaster sent around a text message telling people not to queue, I presume after last year.

    W.O.W.
    What a show compared to their gig back in Simmonscourt... the lights and the videos were awesome! Loved the setlist, Looking Up was brill and the little acoustic set in the middle was a nice touch. Really thought they were fantastic.

    I no longer hate the 300 people who meeted and greeted...I hate Megan from Donegal :p

    Gotta hand it to B.o.B as well! He really got the crowd going. I really only know Airplanes so I didn't have high hopes but I really enjoyed his performance!

    Hope everyone had a good night!

    that was a good show tonight. I doubt that Donegal girl will ever forget that.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,755 ✭✭✭A V A


    forget what ??
    cant wait to hear the storys and what happened to your man josh :P:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 30 Darkwhite


    from what i hear, it was her birthday and she sang a song with them :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,659 ✭✭✭magnumlady


    Thought it was a was a fantastic show. I was delighted I wasn't standing, saw a few people being dragged out. If I'd have been let on stage like Megan from Donegal was I wouldn't have been able to sing.
    People shouldn't have been throwing things on stage though I bet those glo sticks really hurt.
    I thought b.o.b was amazing too, he really is talented. Loved the mgmt song he did.

    I wish I had been seated, I started to feel so sick just before Paramore came on so I had to go to the back of the crowd. It was just so stuffy, everyone was being pushed up against each other and though there was water given out it only reached the first few rows. People were turning around before Scuba Dice came on. So I ended up towards the back of the standing crowd, while my friends stayed at the front. The concert seemed good but it kind of sucked watching it on my own from a distance, though I did get talking to another girl who felt sick.

    A more interesting story is, before I went back and while I was in the middle of the crowd, one my friends accidentally pushed my money out of my pocket and it fell on the floor, a fifty note and a twenty note. She told me straight away so I found the fifty on the floor, but there was no sign of the twenty. After the concert finished we had a look for it on the floor but couldn't find it. My friend wanted to get some confetti, so she grabbed a handful of it from the pile that had been swept up. What was in it? €20. :)

    So, overall, Paramore were good, but the crowd just ruined it for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,180 ✭✭✭tomissex


    I completely forgot about all the sh1t being thrown! Really disgusting behaviour I have to say, especially when Hayley asked people to stop throwing glowsticks and then more got thrown up! Whoever threw the shoe (and threw it again when Hayley threw it back) should be really effing proud of themselves. Thank god it wasn't their first time here....

    "Dublin was amazing!!" "Dublin was the sh1t" according to Hayley's twitter :D

    People get dragged out like that at every rock concert. People push up to the front, realise they can't take it, and either feint or get the security guys to drag 'em out. Lots of people around me were dropping. We got right up to the barrier by the end of the gig because of all the people who got up there and realised they couldn't handle it! =)

    I was very angry at the people throwing the glo-sticks but I thought Hayley handled it really well. There was no Axl Rose type 'we're leaving if you don't stop' ****, instead she just threatened to throw them back at us! :p

    That's exactly what I was like that at Blink, but this time I came prepared. We had a bottle of 'emergency water' with us, which we kept in case one of us was desperately in need of a drink. And when the cups of water started coming around, we shared them with the people around us so that they would, in turn, share them with us when they got them.. I managed to survive the entire gig up at the front and I must say, it wasn't half as uncomfortable as Blink..

    As for the gig, I personally thought it was amazing. Jeremy stuck his tongue out at me cos I wouldn't stop waving at him, and when Hayley went to pick a singer (which btw I think is decided on before the gig, because they never seem quite as excited as you know you would be if you were picked, and it's always someone who's birthday coincidentally happens to be on that day too, ah well) a load of random guys standing around me hoisted me up into the air to try and get me picked. Looked like it might've worked too, except for the security guy told me to get down. :p

    Great gig last night, was gutted I didn't get a meet and greet wristband but their performance last night more than made up for it. Here are some photos and some video I took at the gig.
