Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible Live - Sat 13th Dec - Olympia Theatre

Planning to drive up to Dublin for this gig on Saturday.

Will traffic + parking near Stephens Green/Drury St be mental on Saturday (Christmas shopping etc)?

Royal college of Surgeons Carpark is usually a good spot for gig parking...relatively quiet.

Yes. Where are you driving from? Could you use the Red Cow park and ride? Luas in and out.

Thanks, a friend suggested Red Cow idea also.

We're driving from Limerick and staying in a hotel near Drury st on Saturday night.
Really don't want the hassle of traffic

If you don't mind a bit more of a walk, the car-park on Marlborough St (at the Parnell St end) is always a good bet...

Hopefully decent Bible merch on sale

Quick question re seating tickets in the Olympia - i got 4 standing and 2 seating tickets for Saturdays gig.

Is it easy in the Olympia to get from seating area to the floor?? Seating tickets are almost front of circle so assume would be easy pass over standing stubs. Not been to gigs in Ireland for years

Usually different entrances for sitting and standing

Would LOVE the Harley Davidson Motorcycle Emptiness tee

I can't afford to attend this show but would love to as it (The Holy Bible) is my favourite Manics album. It's nice to feel enthusiastic about them again as I've been gradually losing interest over the last few albums...

That sucks dude

No way to blag a ticket at all?

My friend is posting photos from Manchester! Not even tempted to check out a setlist. Suspense is building

PS my mate's "Manics disco" is no-go, they didn't secure a venue in time. I knew they wouldn't. Ah well.

Any idea on the times for tomorrow night? Last time I was standing in the Olympia, I cant recall a "pit"/wristband area - presume it'll just be first come first serve to get near the front?

From their twitter:
"Reminder for anyone coming to Manchester, Dublin and London shows - The Holy Bible 8.45 followed by a ten minute breather then set two..."

Nice one for posting this, Mister Anarchy. Got 2 myself there! Really wasn't looking forward to the hassle of trying to get one outside the door tomorrow!

Too late!

Hey!! NO. They're only selling in pairs!! Don't give up people!

Rothko

Can't wait for tonight. It's gonna be amazing

unimpressed alf

Hey everyone, my wife is too poorly to go tonight so I have a spare ticket for sale. Its seated on row J of the circle, face value is €50

Let me know if you're interested - thanks!

jimosterberg

Can't wait for this

Bateman

Hit and miss venue when you have a seating ticket in terms of getting down to the standing floor, fingers crossed

buzzing for it and well impressed at the set lists to date

MrStuffins

Managed to only get a single ticket to this so it's the first time I've ever gone to a gig on my own.

For those interested, they had the "tickets available" sign illuminated at the Box Office as I was coming in
