    Yeah you're probably right.
    I just always feel a bit weird going places like that by myself...I think it can be different for men!
    I'll be coming from Meath so I'll have to stay the night too, hmmmmm I'll need to have a think tonight

    Would REALLY love to go to this, it would be amazing

    Hello. I was reading boards and came across your post. I'm not a fan of MSP. I just wanted to say please don't miss out on seeing them because there's no one to accompany you. I wanted to go to a gig a few years ago but no one to accompany me and I almost didn't get a ticket but I did and I went. It was for the Buble gig in 2010 and I had an absolute blast in Dublin. I had a few worries leading up to the gig but in hindsight I was worrying for nothing.

    The Olympia is a concert venue. On the day of the concert, just take your place in standing or sitting and there's nothing to it. If you get a sitting ticket, it's just like going to the cinema.
    Going to gigs alone is now my preferred

    going to a gig alone is my preferred choice because i can enjoy the music without having anyone yap in my ear.

    Yeah you're all right, think I'll get myself a ticket tomorrow if I can get online before they all go!

    Thanks all

    Any idea if they're playing the album and that's it? Or will be they doing another 'encore' set for last half an hour maybe, as happens a lot of the time? I do like the idea of just turn up, perform the album and they're gone. But I also want to hear some songs from Futurology and whatever else you're having yourself!

    By the way, what are people's thoughts in general on the 'album gig' and have many of you seen these kind of shows? I saw Lou Reed doing Berlin in Cork a few years ago. Decent show but he did play a greatest hits set at the end to keep us all happy going home!

    Every band I have seen doing one of these has done the greatest hits as well, you kind of have to. I like the idea, especially if it is a great album.

    I assumed standing would be the cheapest so went with that and it brought me to restricted view seating, by the time i went back around it was gone :(

    This is going to be either amazing or tragic. Based on the Journal for Plague Lovers gig and all my previous times seeing them at the Olympia I'm leaning towards amazing.


    Of course if they play a greatest hits set after and play the Steps sampling it's not war....shudder

    Livid with TM, 8 per person is outeageous, touts will be laughing. Best available were apparently upper circle yet 10 mins later a friend got standing.

    I hope they do a second

    My computer had to restart and I forgot about it until a few minutes after 9. I still got Upper Circle tickets but at least I got tickets. The view may not be great but I've found if the gig is good, you don't mind too much.

    It's the manics so I'll enjoy it nonetheless, but I just can't believe they had 8 tickets per person available for what was going to be a big demand gig. That there are at least 20 tix on viagogo already says it all
