If you're there by 2.30pm you'll deffo get into the pit. 3-4 also highly likely. As you get closer to the 4.30 mark I wouldn't make any promises.

He is known for breaking curfews. I see no mention of 10pm on facebook, 7pm is mentioned, the poster who mentioned 10pm it had a question mark after the 10.

Mention of more sunday tickets gone on sale too.

I'll be amazed if he finishes before 11pm, particularly on the Sunday night.

Just a bit of information needed if someone can help me please. I'm driving up from the west and had planned to leave the car in Maynooth and get the train in to Drumcondra (as those who are in the habit of going to Croke Park have told me thats the easiest way to get there). However according to Irish Rail website the last train leaves Drumcondra on Sunday evening at 20.56 and there's no way that Bruce will be finished. What's the chances of Irish Rail putting on extra trains and is there a better way to get there?
TIA

There are late night trains being put on for the Bruce concerts (see here: http://www.irishrail.ie/BruceSpringsteenCrokePark). Doesn't look like it's on the line you need though.

Where is the best place to park near Croker? Is there such a thing as pre booking a parking space somewhere?

11:45 :eek:,thats crazy late

I know the gigs here start too early and most of the gig is in daylight but 11.45 is nuts .
Imagine we tried that here

i know

ive done nos alive 3 years on the bounce now in lisbon earliest headliner was 11pm

gates wont open until 5 he has 2 supports acts as it is the lisbon leg of Rock IN Rio

Portugeese people are very easy going my favourite place in the world to see a gig

only concern is we might only get 2 hours or 2 1/2 hours tops as he regularly does as part of festivals

Nothing wrong with that. Some of the best Bruce shows I've seen have been the shorter ones.

Id much rather the setlist from the other night with Shout, Twist and Shout, Promised Land and Prove It All Night taken out. And not replaced.

Anyone know if there will be a support act or what time Bruce should start?

Oh excellent, hadn't seen these.

Link to book isn't working for me - everyone else having the same issue?

Congratulations. You're a few days late to the party

San Sebastian set-list very similar to the Barcelona one. Hope you all get to hear him do Purple Rain. It was great.

Was just having a look on toutless there. The Brucie tickets are in plentiful supply now. Many of them going at discounts. If they're doing that now, there would be a decent chance that I'd pick up a standing ticket cheap enough at the end of next week.

Could do without 3/4 of those songs. Apart from a few of the rarer River tunes I don't particularly want to hear any of those songs again.

Always the way with these big gigs. Thousands available. A lot of people trying to sell their lower Davin Stand tickets. For €131.

Thought that for AC/DC in the Aviva. Didn't happen though.

Cracking night Stereo phonics provided a nice little start to the evening then some Portuguese Band on their 35th anniversary I'd never heard of but must be huge over here as drew a big crowd and everyone singing along and I have to say I enjoyed them

Bruce came on stage shortly before 12 and he never stopped the energy is a joy to behold

Roll on the 29th until I see him again

Rock in Rio Lisbon is an amazing setup Imo I'd recommend it highly if there was some1 you wanted to see

PTH2009

Is it just me or is there a little emphasis on the BITU album on the recent setlists ???

Love that album so I have no complaints lol

Nice to see the acoustic ending as well returning

Born in the River.
