Slane 2017

starWave

At bon Jovi, the gold circle was within a larger a pit area. Any idea if there will be a pit outside the gold circle this time?

I imagine the size of the pit they need for crowd control, is way bigger than the amount of gold circle tickets they would sell.

D.Q

Was thinking that myself. Surely it's not just gold circle and then the crowd. Is there a t barrier set up?

I do actually, well almost a naggin. But i'll need tonic at least! With slices of lemon. I'm not a good festival person.

Driving up from Waterford and back down when its over for this one. Does anyone know what time Slane will likely end at?

Can't wait to see the real G'NR live, never thought Id ever get to see them I would have been about four at their last Irish concert together.

Driving up from Limerick, Thinking of heading up to Navan from Junction 14 on M7 and get Bus Eireann shuttle bus from there. Anyone from around those parts know where the bus leaves from and also where I could park the car for the day. (I was never in Navan before)

Ah yea, I'd say there are a load in the same boat as you, having to work and pop down after/next morning.

They seem to be fairly easy going in Slane Farm anyway, although they're getting a bit of heat on Facebook for recommending to people that they get there before 10am (sat morning) due to road closures. I would have thought the road closures were common knowledge at this stage? Some people are holding the campsite personally responsible for the transport restrictions of the whole concert!:rolleyes:

D.Q

anyone any experience with castlepark camping? what time should you get there saturday?

Thats why we are going Friday, We would have to be up at Stupid OClock to get there before 10am Sat.
People are a bit stupid if they (pretend) that they are unaware of road closures ..... Common knowledge .....

On the Golden Circle B ticket I have it says standing, but there is also G51 143 or something like that on the ticket. Anyone know what that signifies, and/or why its on the ticket?

GA tickets on Ticketmaster atm

This must be one of the reasons there are so many GA tickets on re-sale at face value or less.

PTH2009

Anyone have a clue how much a GNR t shirt or Hoody will cost at this? Just wondering how much I should budget for that.

aka accounts 2010

Otherkin have confirmed they are on at 3.30pm.

So maybe this will be the approx running order:

Gates 2pm
Otherkin 3.30pm
Mark Lanegan 4.30pm
Royal Blood 5.30pm
Guns n Roses 7.30pm

At a complete guess;

Hats €10/€15
T shirts €35
Hoodies €55+

Creeping Death

Seems they've swapped circles A and B.

I'm just about to buy a ticket and want to be more on the Slash side of the stage, so I'm thinking circle B is the one I want?

Or is there a risk, they'll use the original plan on the day, and have B on the left of the stage.

-=al=-

Why did they swap? I'm sure some people won't be happy with that!

Gold circle B for Slash, prob yep. He usually resides over that side.

Hoodies will be about €60 t-shirts €30?

Bands these days are just travelling t-shirt merchandise companies that play music on the side :pac:

Take That hoodies were £70 in Glasgow Hydro last weekend Mental prices... And that was Sterling too!

D.Q

Never been to slane, or a concert of this size tbh. What's the view like? Is it watching big screens sort of set up or what's the story

Goreme

Anyone know what the numbering on the Golden Circle tickets signify, e.g., the Section B golden circle ticket has "G51 143" on it. What does it signify?

Its a huge venue though so the further back you are the worse your view will be. But the fact the stage is at the bottom of a hill makes it a bit easier see the stage

I have general standing tickets and It has GA and some number on it. Don't think they mean anything?

Made it to 2006 and 2010. Didn't even consider 2012 after Axl's shenanigans in 2010 but Original (ish) line up in slane has been on my bucket list since 92 which was a year or two too early!

Fair play to anyone who's making it 5 from 5!

I'm sure there will be extra security at slane after horrible attack in Manchester??
