Yay! Thanks to big-slick on behalf of the boardsies Nice to see us little people are noticed. :P

Also, sorry for the double post, but you should make it a turn up yourself with ID and collect the tickets, so that people can't win the tickets and try to sell them on.

Fair play Big Slick.

If everyone who has posted is included I make it about 120 people. My only concern with that would be if someone won who isn't regularly on Boards they might not be on between winning and the event taking place. It probably is the fairest way to do it though.

I know I have a few people in mind who I'd like to see win the tickets.

BIG-SLICK-POKER

THERE are just 4 days to go until 50 Cent, Flo Rida, Faithless and more class acts descend on the Regional Sports Centre to pull off the biggest concert ever witnessed in Waterford City.Ten thousand fans are expected to flock to the venue, which will include a great line-up on the 25m by 35m stage, with bars and a variety of food vendors located on the grounds, making it the perfect place to rock out over the Bank Holiday weekend. 50 Cent, who will be accompanied by 19 members of G-Unit, will headline the event, which starts at 2.30pm, running until 11pm this Saturday, July 30.


Kicking off the action are winners of the 15 minutes of fame competition Murka & Mega M, two local rappers who won their place on the stage. They will be followed by American Venom, The Original Rude Boys, who took to the Main Stage at Oxegen and local band Solar Taxi before Louis Walsh’s new protégés Wonderland give a blast of their music. Smash Hits, who already have a huge following in the city, will have the crowd whipped into a frenzy with their 90s hits before Shayne Ward will woo the ladies with his well known tunes.


Next up are Faithless Sound System, who are performing what is likely to be there last ever Irish performance, so they will definitely be going all out for the Waterford crowd.Flo Rida will hit the stage next and may well sing his huge hit “Low” before paving the way for the main man 50 Cent who is bound to thrill the crowd with hits such as “In Da Club”.The event is part of a five-year plan by organisers Music Events Ireland and Marketing Manager Neill Kelly said, “It will be an amazing set-up and it’s the first time an event of this size and calibre has come to Waterford. We hope to grow it and have a two-day event next year and finally on to an Oxegen style event.”He said the organisers deliberately sought out different genres of music so that there would be something for all to enjoy.

Allot of the numbers should have gone out by now lads. I'm guessing sometime Thursday evening the winner should be announced here on thread.

I'd like to thank Neill for putting up the fairly impessive prize and I wish him and his team the best of luck on Saturday if I don't get a chance.

Was thinking that too when I passed yesterday. It's more facing the roundabout than it is the old stadium. maybe they'll turn it around when it's complete, but looks odd at the moment anyway.

Just a point that I don't think should go unmentioned.

The Foundry are the only venue in the city that are not supporting the Spraoi this year by getting in some of their acts. They're more than happy to cash in on the name though.

that's a point well worth mentioning. Another reason why they won't ever see any of my money (even though as an older person I prefer the TP in Dublin for clubbing).

I have no idea what numbers he picked, so ill ask ziedth to PM you when he is on. Draw wont take place until later today anyway.

Assume he just missed your account, its a big thread!

ziedth

Just sending it now JP Liz k? Sorry my bad.

Edit: if you didn't get a number by now and you have posted in the thread can you please PM and I'll give you a number. This has been a little more rushed then i would have liked as I have real life commitments going on too.

Cheers.

Was told recently by one of the organisers that I should receive a letter a week or two before the event as I'm living across the road from it with info on traffic etc. Still haven't received anything. The guy also said won't hear a sound, and then on the radio the other night it was said that it will e heard from miles around. So has anyone got info on a road closure or anything like that for the day?

Oops...thread mix up. Sorry lol
