Just talking to a work colleague there and she said she was talking to someone that went and 80 people turned up......:eek:! So I would say don't go there for the next match.....that's if they actually show it!

According to Ticketmaster the showing of the next 2 matches have been cancelled!

Sure what did they expect, charging 20 quid for it. At least if the ticket covered ya for a few drinks and food it might have worked.

Its a pity that this country cant hold live events in public places, like in Europe, for big matches without failing.

Apparently the event on the Quay in Dublin was just a scumfest and there's talk that the next two might be cancelled as well.

ok weird, I heard there was 1500 there from a relative of mine who was working for the event.

Any suggestions for parking near the Marquee? Heading to the Coronas on Friday but need to head back to Wexy that night so I have to drive.

You can park (securely) at the venue. Costs a fiver. At concert end, all traffic is filtered out smoothly, towards the tunnel.

That's just them pretending they were really busy. If that many had turned up no way would they have been cancelled.

maybe they said '50 to a 100'
and even then, I'd wonder if the people who did show up paid in, or had free passes from radio giveaways etc..


The Pavilion showed it on a cinema sized screen upstairs and the place was fairly packed

For us, weighing up the options of heading to the marquee or to town wasn't hard considering the ticket price
and the uncertainty as to whether they served only half pints in plastic cups and the possibility of Carlsberg being the only choice

Exactly - I mean who did they think they were charging 15e to get in and then you had to pay astronomical prices for drink? A well known pub in the city centre with a few big screens was always going to get a bigger crowd - better atmosphere too. No contest

sad but true. RE the marquee, it's all about money and I'm delighted people had more sense than to go to that rubbish. If you really want to watch a match, home is the best place to watch it and hear commentary properly etc. If you want to pretend you're watching a game but really just want to satisfy your need for more booze then go to the pub.

Yeah, I saw that 3 on the Quay thing turned into a skanger fest, but at least they all got a wash:D

Specials were ok last night. Played for just 80 minutes and there was a massive lull in the middle of their set. Good atmosphere though! Certainly not packed either, about half full I'd say.

That was a great gig. Worth every cent, they played a great set, and best of all Tom Petty and the band all looked like they were having just as good a time as the audience were.

Half thought Bressie because he is supporting them in Galway, but he's out of the country on Friday I think. Would love to know though..

it's been a few years since I've been there but they had Guinness there too, if it's a Diageo bar then that could be the case.

I was there, 1500 is probably far more accurate than < 100. The seating was only half full but the standing area was packed.

The atmosphere wasn't bad, but I would have been disappointed if I had paid to get in (got a free ticket from work). The screen wasn't *that* big. We were seated way up in the back and could barely see. I'd be heading the pub for the next match even if I got free Marquee tickets again. Someone told me they cost around €40, not €15 maybe that was just for seated tickets?

As for booze, they had Guinness, Carlsberg and a few others (Captain Morgans and Coke I think?)

Lucio

Anyone won VIP tickets to the marquee with Vodafone? Just won some for the Coronas tomorrow night and wondering what the story is??

The promoters were still tweeting about the show 45 mins ago so, no, the show is not cancelled. The site is a level concreted area - there is nothing there to flood really.

Cork Summer show has been cancelled for today.

Faith

No, but I did notice last night that Centre Park road and Monaghan road had "Road Closed" signs on them.

annemar23

Both are still flooded today!

Just trying find out as the Mrs will get all dolled up but if it's going to me mucky then I'll tell her not to.

The site should be fine, the walk there might not be. It is a hard floor inside but outside where the portaloos are etc could be messy.

They were really good tonight I have to say, not my type of band but they did a really good set. Crowd were really up for it though, finished with a cover of Heyday which was kinda fitting, suited the rest of the set well
