Elbow - O2 Dublin - 31st March 2011

deeks · 20-10-2010 8:01pm #1

Didn't see a thread on this so thought I'd start one. Pre Sale on next Wednesday.

I've seen them 4 times live and there's no way I'm missing this one. New album should be out at that stage as well.

2011 is looking good already.

La frog fairy · 20-10-2010 9:59pm

ahh my thought exactly!

I chated loads of friends today about it and only a handful are going to see them!

Shame, great band live...dont like the 02 as its too big, like many friends as well, but love them live.

Woohoo agree, 2011 is looking good;)

Nice one, thanks for the heads up

Ms. Captain M · 26-10-2010 10:19am

O2 presale started this morning by the way.....

Weepsie · 26-10-2010 9:45pm

ticketmaster have oudone themselves with a 5.55 booking fee. disgraceful stuff altogether. i got tickets to see them in manchester for about 35 euro and thats when the euro was worse than now

sherrybobbins · 27-10-2010 9:26pm

That's bad form about the the booking fee, such a racket. Would like to see them though. Might as well fly to England and see them, flights and ticket would cost as much as ticket here!

I saw Elbow last night in Liverpool. I have no connection with Elbow, the O2, MCD, or Ticketmaster, so I can honestly say if you have not got a ticket to see them on the 31st of March, get one now, they were absolutely magnificent. I cannot wait to see them again on the 31st.

Have my ticket for next week but going to see them in Manchester on friday. Hometown gig, sold out in minutes and have people emailing me for my spare ticket so all signs point to it being excellent

Getting very excited for this now alright. Reading great reports of the shows so far and have yet to be disappointed by Elbow live.

These are the ones I'm most looking forward to. Still can't believe they didn't sell out, A couple of friends managed to get tickets(standing) this morning. In the meanwhile, heading for Dublin now, where a bar, followed by section D awaits.

Enjoy it everyone.

I'm heading for a bar now in a while. Slatterys on Grand Canal Street. Then I'll have a short 'symian stroll' over to the O2.
