Your talking as someone who knows cameras but I'm sure all the security at the gates dont.

I'm not really an expert on cameras, but I know enough. if I still had my smaller camera I wouldn't be asking. I've had no problems bringing it with me to the 02 in the past. just worried if I do bring it, it could be confiscated? or I wouldn't be allowed in.

I'd say you'll be ok - the only worry would be the zoom lens. Personally, I'd leave it at home. You're there for the gig - why ruin the excitement worrying about your camera.

I would like to take some photos, but you're right I'll leave it at home. it wouldn't be worth the hassle.

Anyone camping??????

This question has probably already been asked but are you okay to bring food in? and when it comes to water do they just take the bottlecaps or do they give them back after the search? , thanks

Just wondering about the pit tickets, I'm there pretty early and should have a good chance to get one. If I got one are you allowed to leave the pit? And if so, would it be difficult to work your way back there, given the crowd?

you can leave the pit, you'll have a wristband. it should be grand to move about, maybe when em is on it will be a bit crushy but other than that theres plenty of room

You won't be able to bring in food and I couldn't imagine them not taking the bottle caps off water bottles.

gates are open at twelve or one. no bar outside

I'd say this was covered 100 times but can you bring in a bottle of liquid? Water?

Also the no rec equipment that doesn't include smart phones does it.

FireBreather

To save trouble does anybody who being to Slane know where the box office is?

Right guys,

Just back from an epic night in the pubs in Slane. Here since 4pm today.

Information:

Gates at 1pm (confirmed with security outside the venue earlier today).

Walk from Dublin bus drop off to Castle-40 mins.


Walk from private buses drop off-50 mins.


Steal toe cap boots will be allowed (
question previously asked). Weather was great here all evening. Ground described as soft to firm by security
earlier, some showers expected tomorrow. Wellies are safe option. Ground should be fairly decent.

Pubs open in village for business tomorrow, €5-€6 a pint. Heavy security
on all pubs with groups bring refused tonight.

Gardai have search tent zone set up outside barracks at end of village. Looks
pretty well laid out and will form part of search facilities on way to village.Gardai sniffer dogs also in use from 9am
tomorrow morning!!!! Also plenty paddy wagons parked at end of village.

Residents who attended town hall for passes on Tuesday/Wednesday night were told 83,250 tickets were sold with 84,000 expected Saturday.

Friends of mine staying in campsite up the road, craic is mighty and ground is decent!!

Doublechinlolz

right now I'm lying here in my tent in Slane Farm Hostel.

It's just showery weather at the moment but nothing too bad, I didn't bring wellies but judging by the sky I think you should

YellowFeather

Cheers aka and Double - fair play!!

Just a quick question - is the 40 minute walk from bus to castle before or after getting ticketed. Could ya bring a beer for the walk?

Up now to get ready and head out early for the bus, but I'm starting to think I'm fighting a losing battle for the pit passes.

I highly doubt you'll be allowed bring a bottle of anything in, but they might let you bring the water bottle in without the cap on (stops ppl being able to throw them as weapons)

And the recording equipment generally refers to professional AV equipment, confiscating 80,000 smartphones would be a logistical nightmare.

From todays indo:

http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/eminem-security-operation-to-be-tightest-ever-for-slane-gig-29505912.html

Those with a ticket will be subjected to at least three searches at various points as they enter the venue. Navan garda station's Superintendent Michael Devine, who is directing the security operation, warned revellers who drink excessively would not be admitted to the event.

"We would ask people not to bring a significant amount of alcohol with them or to arrive in an intoxicated state. In the past, we've had private buses arrive with slabs of various beverages," he told RTE radio yesterday.

"We will not be entertaining that," he said.

Bag checks will be conducted for alcohol and illegal substances. Supt Devine also advised against patrons bringing umbrellas as they "could be used for other purposes than which they are intended".

He said extensive detention facilities will be in operation to hold any offenders arrested over the course of the concert, while special sittings of local courts will be set up in nearby towns.

Wtf! Sounds like a nazi camp or something, why can't they just let the kids have fun for one day.

An umbrella! You'd swear it was a machine gun the way they're going on.

I've been to many Slane concerts over the years but I reckon this will be the messiest. Expect to see many a reveller chewing the lips off themselves.

People on E don't tend to cause trouble and fights though! They usually just want a friendly hug :pac:
