    It's only extortionate in that it's not the proper line-up. They are big rockstars, in the twilight of their career and big acts charge at least €40...... a popular act charging people for an 'intimate' opportunity usually costs more, you'd think they were pullin a streisand. They've only ever really played small venues here anyhow

    if they've become such grubbers I'm surprised they are bothering the expenses stopping off here at all for a crowd that small, so work it out.

    I disagree so I'll leave it at that.

    agreed, this issue of 90% their earnings going elsewhere is indeed extortionate

    and maybe the main reason I won't be coughing up, bad enough as it is lombardo finding himself out of the group over it.

    Surely if they have 2 dublin shows booked would they not be better just to book the Olympia for one night?

    People won't pay €50 for crap seats at a Slayer gig.

    Understood. I was just imagining a quiet, seated crowd at a Slayer gig. :D

    Lads, Slayer haven't changed their ticket prices that much over the past 15 years. This complaint comes up every time.

    The tickets to see them in the Ambassador in 2005 were €44


    To see them in the SFX in 2000 it was €35


    Their fee hasn't changed so get over it. To see a similar sized band costs the same here, Megadeth charge around the 44 mark as well. This is hardly news people!!!!!!!!!!


    Personally I think seeing them in such a small venue will be the business. Make no mistake, these shows will sell out straight away.

    Exactly!! I was at the Ambassador gig and it was around the same price as this (one of the best gigs I was ever at too :D)

    Anyway if ye think those prices are steep I imagine ye'd die of heart failure at ticket prices out here in Aus, you'd be looking at $80-$100 easily for a mediocre act, Black Sabbaths show in April cost $150 a ticket!!

    I can't remember how much it cost to see them in '94... :o

    Whatever happened to the SFX? That was a great venue for Slayer, really suited their sound.

    Haven't seen such a good lineup for a Slayer tribute band in a while, so have ticket paid, and hoping it'll be a good show!

    Northern lads said the Limelight sold out in 2 minutes, so tickets are going slowly in comparison :pac:

    Everything in OZ is ridiculously expensive. They're in the middle of a big bubble. It's unsustainable but at least they have big natural resources to fall back on rather than the construction industry/property.

    Anyway, I wouldn't pay €50 to see half of Slayer.
