    Anyone driving in? What's the best bet for parking?

    I'm thinking of spinning over for around 6:30, car parks could already be full at that stage?

    The message going out is parking will be limited so head over for 6 and park 10 mins walk away id imagine.

    The Eden. Wouldn't normally be a favourite of mine but plenty of screens for the game and right across from the entrance.

    Where's the best pick-up spot for after the gig? I've got someone collecting me, and I'm trying to find the best place.

    Traffic is not too bad after the marley gigs. So just pick a spot and go for it.

    Where do the buses leave Dublin City for Marlay?

    The 16 is pretty common from o' Connell st. or from College Green close to Dame Street. We're getting that bus soon, hope this a lot of fun with some great music. Enjoy your day everyone!

    So I've stupidly lost my ticket. If I go to the ticketmaster booth with the booking card can I get it reprinted?

    Is it cool to bring snacks in? No liquids, just nuts/fruit.

    I lost a ticket to a vicar street comedy gig last year. I took my phone showing email confirmation to the TM booth and they were ok with printing out a new one. I did have to ask nice though.

    Cool thanks. Do you know if you had a seated or standing ticket? Ticketmaster's website says that they can only reprint seated tickets.

    I can't sorry, although at a guess it would probably have been seated. If you ask with a smile you should be ok.

    First time I saw Arcade Fire live, Pixies were headlining!

    Interesting now that it's the other way around

    There's no pit.
    Ham sambo were good.
    Pixies were deadly,till black's guitar stopped working on the intro to debaser, so he called it a day. Probably only missed out on debaser and monkey, but still. It's not as if there were no other guitars there.
    30 mins to AF!

    Enjoyed the gig but I don't think they were suited to an outdoor venue, not when it's that bright.

    Really enjoyed the gig Arcade Fire were great so were Ham Sandwich and Tvvins. Not really a Pixies fan so didn't really enjoy their set at all, was pretty happy when the guitar stopped working...

    No cider. Heineken only @ €6 a pop. Wine was €6.50. There was v&rb but dunno how much that was (though it was €7 in kilmaimhan sat night).
    Decent choice of food.

    Disappointing for me overall. Have seen them a bunch of times and tonight was possibly the worst, pretty close to Oxegen 2007 performance!

    Having said that though their worst is better than a lot of bands so still enjoyed myself a lot as per usual but overall slightly disappointed.

    Outdoor didn't suit, sound wasn't the best (moved a few times), crowd were ok not great, setlist was a bit bizarre....

    I'm a curmudgeon! :p

    I thought they put on a great show tbh. Opened with U2 Macnas heads singing where the streets have no name. Then halfway through, a Macnas pope benedict head tearing up a picture of sinead o Connor during nothing compares to you. Gig was great overall I thought. Different setlist to Glastonbury. Reasonable crowd athmosphere, zero hassle.
