    ring and ask - although i'm sure ticketmaster have a voice machine phone service so you probably won't get to speak to anyone. drop by and ask them in cork.

    Like your username by the way - Generation Terrorists was their best album - "Condemned to Rock & Roll" their best song.

    Is this expected to sell out quickly? I could risk going to the box office but would buy them online if they are not going to be all sold ten seconds after I log in to ticketb*****d.

    upper circle = unreserved seating high up - not a great view from anywhere other than the first few rows
    ground floor = standing

    the upper circle tickets should still be on sale on the day of the gig. keep an eye on toutless.com for standing tickets.

    This day week :D

    Anyone know where they're likely to stay/be?

    James is a massive Forest fan and they're playing Swansea in the play offs the same night, would love to get him out for a pint or 2 for the match before the gig

    It could easily have been Cardiff that they met . . . hmm, interesting thread here.

    So anyone know of places in Dublin that they've drank over the years? :D They were meant to have been in Isobar in Cork back in '99.

    Try the Merrion Hotel - a friend of mine saw Nicky come out or go into there last time they were here to play Oxygen.

    Just realised I've not seen them in 3 years - the Ambassador gig. Crazy, I've seen them loads but missed the Plague tour.
