    Yes. They obviously just have to number standing tickets too.

    Myself and a couple of friends got 2 standing tickets each. What time will the Manics be on stage, ticket says 7pm, or is that just doors open at 7pm?

    Wouldn't worry about that until closer to the date they will release stage times then

    Doors at 7 though there will probably be people queuing well before that to get into the pit section.

    How cool would it be if we had an old skool support?

    King Adora or My Vitriol would be CLASS

    Got 2 standing this morning! Is there any idea how fast it sold out as they seemed to just vanish within minutes?

    When I tried to buy at 9.02, the standing were all gone...thankfully, my friend managed to get two standing. I can't wait, it's going to be unbelieveable.

    I set an alarm to remind me that these were going on sale because i'd be in full "work mode". Of course, the alarm never went off!

    I managed to get one seated ticket! F*ck it, i'll go on my own :)

    Foggy will probably be packed -Temple Bar on a Saturday night is asking for trouble!

    Ha ha, yeah that happened a bit at festivals i think, heard some brutal examples of it before.

    This vid is probably more appropriate for a Holy Bible gig thread though

    Aint lived in Dublin for ten years so only really remember that boozer near the venue. Is there anywhere close by albeit ten minutes walk with decent tunes and good booze. Reckon town will be manic anyway with so close to Xmas and company parties and the like on.

    Saw them in the Olympia around this time 12 months ago. Myself and my childhood best friend. We are 27 now so big 90’s kids, all those childhood memories of sunny days and the radio blaring, one of the best nights of my life seeing them.

    We were stuck in the seating area but it was still brilliant. Looking forward to more of the same !

    This is my dilemma, as a teenager, after Richey went I was firmly in the belief they should have called it a day. I bought Everything Must Go grudgingly as Richey was credited on 4 or 5 tracks. After that it was never the same for me and I never really listened to any of the albums since.

    I had plenty of opportunities to see them since but turned them down, but this being the Holy Bible I couldn't pass it up. Now I'd be delighted if the encore consists only of tracks from Generation Terrorists & Gold Against the Soul and the likes of New Art Riot/Suicide is Painless/Motown Junk.

    Then again maybe I'm taking it too seriously. After all they also promised they were going to pack it in after making their first album! And I've stopped writing 4REAL in permanent pen (what, I was afraid of blood:D) on my arm too!

    1994 was a fair while ago. Theyre a totally different band and have probably forgotten how to play most of those era songs.

    Im not expecting Richey era gig, im expecting a fantastically tight band play their interpretation of one of the most intense albums ever mass marketed.

    Itll still be a special one tho.

    If they perform this I might actually wet myself. It's my favourite and gives me tingles.

    Apologies in advance to the people in seats B2 and B4...
