Roger Waters 'The Wall' - Aviva Stadium Dublin September 2013!

brenmusic

Amazing! I literally just wet myself (a small bit). Roger Waters is coming to The Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Wednesday September 18th. Bringing The Wall back to Ireland. Epic.

Cant wait,I was in the O2 last year and it was amazing

Ticket price is a bit harsh though. Should be worth the money nonetheless. Put aside €10 a month and buy a ticket in May, that will take the sting out of it. Surely it won't sell out?

Listed on Ticketmaster with The Darkness and Lady Starlight as support.
It's clearly an error, retained from the Lady Gaga show listing.
Looks absurd though. :rolleyes:
The O2 show was probably the best thing I've ever seen. For those who balk at the price, every cent is writ large on the stage. For sheer spectacle, The Wall performance is hard to beat.

I'm the first one usually to complain about the price of tickets, but I think €69 is a fair price for a show of this magnitude

Anyone know if it will be standing or seated. My guess is the €109 tickets would suggest there will be seats and that will be the first block of seating.

Given the size of the stadium, I think it may be fully seated. I know he sold out two shows in the O2, but it's still a bit of a leap to go from 26,000 over two nights in the O2, to 70-80,000 (if the Aviva is pitch standing). Not that I'm doubting Waters' popularity, but I'd rather see it in a full, fully seated stadium, than an undersold, pitch standing one.

Isnt the Aviva only about 40,000-50,000

I thought a standing crowd was more, but I'm not sure.
Either way, it's still a leap in numbers.

Michael Buble (2 nights) = 95,895 (pitch seated) = Official Sell Out
Neil Diamond = 50,108 (pitch seated) = Official Sell Out
The Script = 47,910 (pitch standing) = Not Sold Out
Madonna = 33,953 (pitch standing) = Not Sold Out
Lady Gaga = 37,005 (pitch standing) = Not Sold Out

No gig with pitch standing has sold out so hard to know. The Script was fairly close to selling out so I reckon 52,000 depending on what seats are blocked off and size of production etc etc.

roadmaster

i did the aviva tour a while back and the guide said for concerts with pitch standing the capacity is 65000

Where did you get those figures?

Doesn't matter about the jump in capacity really, MCD aren't expecting it to sell out or anything and the tickets are steep enough.

I'm just worried about all the complaints I've heard about crap sound at the Aviva

Was the o2 gig good? I might go to this one. I had seen the band back in the 80's. The tour with the big inflatable pig that flew over the audience.

For once in my life I'm a bit organised. Just booked hotel for the gig. Usually leave these things till last minute at which stage there are either no rooms left or some rooms are available at extortionate prices.

lertsnim

YES!!!!

doc19827

Does anyone know if the gig is setaing and standing? or an all seater affair

Have heard different things

I got my tickets direct from the Roger waters site in a pre sale yesterday

They are gold circle in front of stage tickets

have never been to the aviva for a concert before

Are these good tickets??

Mickolution

There's standing tickets.

Yes. If you want to stand, the gold circle is the place to be, if you're willing to pay the extra, since they're bound to be more expensive than the general admission pitch standing tickets. The map on Ticketmaster implies the gold circle area is tiny, but that's obviously not to scale.
Having said that, the sheer scale of this production means that anywhere on the pitch is going to afford you a good vantage point, and - unlike conventional rock concerts - there are in fact advantages to being back a bit from the stage for The Wall, in that you can take in the entire spectacle from a distance.

Why is there two Roger Water threads it is still the Wall Live, just saying.

Mushy

One thread for each disc on the album

brokenarms

Just got a few gold standing tickets. 90euro each give or take with charges included.

If it is anything like the O2. It will be an epic night you will never forget.

After the o2, I don't mind handing over €95. Amazing concert.

Does anyone think this will sell out??

Don't think so. Although, the good seats will go quick enough.

Have to say I'm apprehensive about this ... don't get me wrong - it's an amazing show (any Waters gig I've been to has been ...) - probably one of the most affecting and visually stunning shows Ive ever seen - however - outdoors in Lansdowne, with the sound at the mercy of the wind and in all probability - lashing rain - I can see myself giving this a miss.

If you were to worry about the rain you'd never do anything in this country! I'm on the premium level, don't have to worry about rain there :cool:

Alas , that was plan adopted by half the muppets that surrounded me in the O2 ...

Dartz

Just got two seated tickets.

Hard enough to get 'em already...... Needed seats because the second is for a 50-year-old who creaks a little bit.

Mushy

I think Im gonna bring my dad to this, Ive always said I would bring him to one, this is the perfect one. He may even know a song or two.

I was in a rush on Friday when buying tickets. Thought they were expensive at €96 each. I double checked last night and realised I'd bought gold standing section instead of just the normal pitch standing.

Does that mean they're the circle right at the front? Anyone any experience of being in a similar section? Is there a problem with getting in and out for drinks before RW comes on?
