Good to see the lonely negative troll is back. If I remember correctly, this is your post from 14/06/2013, the day before the Bon Jovi gig (Ref Bon Jovi thread)


"Raining hard in Navan at the moment.
Enjoy the muck bath at Slane tomorrow. Anyone who likes Bon Jovi deserves it"



Obviously you want nobody to head out
and enjoy themselves no matter what the gig so maybe we should all call around to your place Saturday night and see what excitement you can create for
us all.

Could we please get an indication of your musical preference? It's difficult to
tell as you clearly class Bon Jovi as rubbish while referring to fans of
Eminem in a slanderous manner!!

I struggle to see why you would simply go onto a thread to state the fact that you hope people have a miserable time.

Regards.

I hope the weathers good on saturday and I found people to go with selling the ticket to someone so it's good.
Would it be crazy to wear rain gear as in the trousers if it's going to be raining in slane?(already have them)
I need to go out and buy wellies tomorrow.

Can't believe it's only 2 days away. Always wanted to see him live & I reckon this will probably be my only chance.

Well I dislike both Eminem and Bon Jovi intensely, and you must love both if you were tracking my postings. I'm a huge Daniel O'Donnell and TR Dallas fan if you ask. Thought that tthey would be coming to Slane so I am disappointed

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to ask if you guys are going to risk sneaking alcohol in? I heard the security is upped this year, and this is my first major concert. Was planning on having a few drinks on the bus up with a couple of mates, then try sneak in a flagon or something, it's a long day.
Is it worth the risk? What's the worst that could happen if it's found?

Drink away on the bus, but dont be obviously drunk when arriving..
I wouldnt risk it, but each to their own.. confiscate it & refuse entry..

Corvo Attano

Refusal of entry.

Hulk Hands

Not that i'm advising it but surely its a case of walking away and going to a different entry point 5 mins later. There's no way a steward has the power to legally confiscate your ticket prior to entry. I could be wrong but 1/5 people at least will try sneak in drink, and there won't be 15,000 ticket confiscations

I work as a steward in Thomond, and yes it is well within a stewards power to confiscate a ticket if the patron is found to have broken the conditions of entry. When y9ou buy them you enter a contract saying you will abide by rules, you bring alcohol in & get caught bye bye mr ticket.

You might not get caught, which is fine, but if you do..:rolleyes:

We do it for about 100 people per H.Cup match.

Fair enough. Where does the search happen? Is it before or after they scan your ticket? Are you a steward for matches mainly or concerts?

YellowFeather

Getting more and more excited.

Decided to try and get pit passes. So, I know ye've already said that you can turn up at 1pm at get them and there's no queuing allowed beforehand. Could we head in at about 12 and pitch ourselves somewhere nearby and see when they start letting people in? I just can't believe that everybody wouldn't be doing the same thing (especially by the sound of this thread.)

Oh right, didn't know there was more than one entry

I've done both(but like we've only had one concert this year) for the soccer and rugby it's before they enter. But for Bruce this year it was after.

When it's before if we find anything, the ticket is simply confiscated along with the drink.
But when ti;s after, you're ticket is scanned, then you get searched, and if anything is found at that stage, yes you get to keep your ticket, but you''re escorted form the ground and the ticket can't be re-scanned.

By all means, chance the naggin, but i don't know is it worth it..

guards will clear ye, and with 3 entrances they'll move you away..

turn up at one and you'll get one no bother.. the buses from dublin don't leave til 12 at earliest, so they wont reach slane until 1 anyway.

What would happen if you drank before going in?

I was at the bon jovi gig so I don't know what it will be like this time around.
But you were searched before you went in BUT the bridge was full of security guards so if they see you with drink they might kick you out

I say just drink before you go in and don't take the risk..

Once you weren't obviously drunk, slurring your words or walking up to the steward/guards with a bottle/can(which is illegal in itself) you were fine..

We/They dont really mind what you do before hand, once you're not completely gone. Like I'm having a can or two before heading down to the castle..

Once your inside like there will be bars don't forget this.. Just have ID on you.

Not sure why no-one has posted this here yet
Site map showing entrances car parks and bars.. For those staying in Slane farm & Hostel, ti is located at car park 3

I can certainly see how you can be thrown out if the search after scan, but before I cant see how. You can just say 'I don't have a ticket', it's not as if they can stick their hands down your pockets, or anywhere else more imaginative you might put your ticket for safe keeping. Walk away and go somewhere else. I'm 95% certain there will be a common sense approach of the drink being confiscated but the person being free to walk in, provided they're polite and not paralytic. These events always attract bad publicity, there's no point organisers creating it when its not necessary. Drugs are a different story because the media would have a field day. Again, i'm not advising it and wont be sneaking anything in myself

this is true, and perhaps the stewards will allow this happen, i was just speaking form experience
We tend to ask can we see the ticket first(we say to ensure you're entering the right area) and thats how we can confiscate before the scan.

At an event like this it would be virtually impossible.

Hopefully they wont be too strict though, we shall see on Saturday.
