Does Garda cordon 2pm refer to the pit q?As in, you must be past the garda cordon by 2pm to get into the pit q otherwise you're outside the cordon til 5pm and gates opening?

I would presume so as no getting past cordon without proof of residency but I not sure. Luckily I'm going on the Sunday so I can wait and see what happens for the Friday, just hope I catch a last minute hotel deal or something.

Sorry for the ignorance, but are roll calls just where you queue up to get a number in order to get a pit pass tomorrow?

I know.. saw tom petty a few years ago one of my favourite gigs ever me and my mate just rambled around for hours in a daze after. Have her indoors coming to this one though:pac:

Yeah what's the deal with these? Will normal people showing up early on the day of the gig be able to get in the pit or is this roll call craic going to take all the spots?

The roll call saves your place in the queue come Friday/Sunday to avoid having to stay in line the whole time. It's for the people who want to be guaranteed a place up front. You will still get in the pit once you come early enough on the day of the gig. I was 64 one year and 268 the previous year and ended up in almost exactly same place but maybe one row in difference

Go get your number at that location. The number determines your place in the line for entry. To keep your place, you have to attend each subsequent roll call. If you miss one, your number is scrubbed from the list and you lose your place in the line and you would have to get a new number and start again.

So basically you have to take the day off work to get in the pit?

The pit should hold nearly 4,500 people. There'll probably be around 1500 in the pit queue.

Haven't been to a Croker concert before. How does a pitch ticket compare with the rest of the stadium ?

Looks like it could be the last song 2morrow night (the solo acoustic encore)

Heard it 2 times already was hoping for a different song ah well

I'm paying 131+ for a ticket in 307 of the cusack stand and looking at the video on Aiken's instagram there is a speaker stand obstructing my view

I'm heading with a couple of mates on Sunday. Only reading about the roll call craic now for the pit entry. I can't see us making the 9am roll call that morning, so if we are to make do with just showing up early-ish to get into the pit, what time do ye reckon we'd need to be there to have some sort of a chance? 3PM,earlier..?

villa2008

Standing ticket entry routes are James Avenue and Fosters Terrace.

What side will the pit cue be on tomorrow and Sunday. James Avenue or Fosters Terrace?

Would 3.30 /4pm be ok to get in the pit without a number?

Can someone tell me if I'm mad to chance parking in Clonliffe College at about 5pm? I'll have my mother with me who can't walk far. We will be coming from Dundrum

Dmartin22196

And to add to that does anyone know what price parking will be?
