Remember this the next time you hear people whining about Touts... and saying it's not right. Look at how the market is now for anyone trying to sell a ticket for this gig on Toutless or wherever.. and you can bet your bottom dollar that those same 'principled' people that have such a problem with touts selling above face value, will have no problem whatsoever getting a bargain when they're going for a price well below it.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be buying my Gold Circle tickets for €90 rather than the €156 odd I paid... but I'm not a hypocrite about it is the point. I see it no different than any other supply and demand market.

Hope the weather men are wrong about tomorrow, not in the mood for getting soaked.

Off into town now to get supplies....... decent poncho mainly

I wonder if this sold out really quickly because people decided to be casual touts and buy a few with the intention of selling them the week before?

My mate can't go last minute and can't get rid of the ticket for anything above €50.

Huge discount on all ticket. Is it the weather putting people off?

Happens a lot particularly for large outdoor gigs such as Slane, weather may be one such reason, buts there's tons really. Slane is actually a lot of hassle for many, I'm not too pushed on going again

Nearest one is in Drogheda - about a 20 - 25min drive.

You'll enjoy it. It's easy going. Shuttle buses from the square in Navan running on the half hour all day. They leave you at the quarry, about a mile from Slane Castle gates. Bus service goes from the same place after the gig. Loads of buses. The buses get up and back in no time at all as they go through Gormalough and out the Kingscourt Road, not the Slane road. That's my advice to anyone making their own way to Navan.
One major rule of Slane concert is they won't let you in with your own drink. I found the bars at Slane to be expensive but efficient at serving. You won't be waiting long. Lots of food vans there as well, although again it is expensive. You should probably get a dinner before you go. You could do worse than get a carvery in Navan before you get the bus, if you are travelling from there.

Overall, I hope you get the weather and enjoy the show!

Panic over lads..the baby food works!

I did look like the worst mother in history buying vodka and fruit puree in supervalue but if I get them all through 2m happy days!

If I drank beer or wine I wouldn't put myself through these things...

Look out for the lass supping out of cow and gate tomorrow

wellies are usually nasty things to be walking in, unless good quality and a really good fit. I had old runners ready for the bin I wore before, others bought cheapo ones. I nick vegetable/butcher bags in supermarkets, these can be slipped on over socks and then put runners on. bring some extras to change during the day -both socks and plastic bags.

Eire Go Brach

Dublin bus might still have some left. There open till 2 tomorrow. Head office o Connell street.
Ask them on twitter.

Never been to slane. Is it worth bringing a picnic blanket the waterproof type. To chill, More so for the earlier bands. Or does it be packed.

There's a big barrier down the middle, so unlikely.

Thought so judging by the pics released today

Will see if i can get anyone to swap!

Enjoy tomorrow everyone. Fingers crossed the rain stays away. I've been lucky enough to see reunited line up of GNR with Slash back in Vegas last year, you're in for a treat

P.S I'm wearing runners tomorrow. Wellies would be awful with all the walking and it's only meant to be showery. i'd be shocked if the grass turned muddy after this hot weather last few days.

unfortunately the current forecast is looking like heavy rain earlier in the day(morning/early afternoon), to gradually ease as the day goes on. id say it ll be dry by the time gnr hit the stage but it will be fresher than late

Ill be travelling by car from Galway tomorrow.
Should I go to Navan and get a bus in or should I travel into Slane and park there.
Never been to Slane before so really confused as to what to do.
