    What's the normal story with tickets for the buses from/to Dublin? Where/when can you normally buy them?

    I selected print your own tickets option rather than getting them posted out. Is it possible to change this option with Ticketmaster if I contact them next week?

    You can buy them off ticketmaster and at the Dublin Bus office on O'Connell St. usually. They don't usually go on sale until a few months before the gig.

    To the people saying they won't spend over a 100. One ticket comes in UNDER a 100? Get buying and go and enjoy yourself!!!


    Got mine the other day in the pre-sale. A dream come true to see GN'R reunited in Slane. Never in my life did I think this would happen.

    EDIT: Just seen the scalpers have the tickets up on other sites for double the price already! SCUM! Why can't they sell tickets by ID? People make a living full time from scalping tickets!

    Was wondering that myself. I went for the emailed ones to be sure I got them in my hand. But now thinking I would like to have some sort of memorabilia as I have the stubs from the previous 4 times.

    Can't get a ticket for the wheelchair platform :-(. Does anyone know if I'd have much trouble getting into this area using a General Admission ticket?

    I always get the ticket posted out to me as I have an envelope full of every gig ticket I've been too that I've enjoyed.

    Always get hard copies

    If something happens and you can't go, it's harder to sell the printed ones because touts just print loads of copies and sell them all. First one there gets in and everyone else is left standing.

    Too late to get hard copies now then?

    Ring ticketmaster and they'll post you out hard copies. Have done it myself before to sell tickets on and there's no problem

    Still GA and Gold Circle available, hopefully touts will have a hard time selling these.

    The touts wont be making much if anything on the gig as it hasn't sold out.
    I suspect the venue has put alot of people off going.

    Wouldn't be surprised if you can get tickets on the day either from ticketmaster or elsewhere. No need for people to be panicking. I 'll probably decide that week if I'm bothered going. Enjoy the gig folks

    What does Slane hold?

    Doesn't look like this will sell-out today anyway.

    Don't know could I be bothered with going to Slane again.. But it is Guns n Roses, so might be just about worth it.

    Around 80k I think. I might pick up a ticket in the summer.

    It probably will sell out or be close to a sell out by the time May comes around. I know there are some bands who can flog 80k tickets in an hour or so but they're rare enough

    I doubt MCD expected a quick sell out anyway based on the amount of advertising they're doing on this. They've even used the street lights around St Stephens green to hang banners advertising it which I've never seen used for gigs before.

    Got 2 GA tickets after a 35 mins this morning, I see there are still tickets there.

    Still glad I got in there early, wouldn't have wanted to miss the chance.

    As an update tried for 4 gold circle said none available, tried for 2 and they were there, must be close to gone now, doubt GA will sell out anytime soon so I can afford to wait

    The pro 12 final is on the same night in Dublin so hotel prices will be even higher for the 27th May

    London night 1 for me (Aerosmith the Wednesday before)

    They must mean on resale surely, wouldn't expect this to sell out before they add supports, either way if you were to show up to slane you'd have your pick of tickets off genuine people, remember trying to sell my extra Foos ticket as a mate couldn't attend, my God the stress of it, ended up handing it to a very grateful young man, best feeling ever. Don't support the touts, but through TM or wait for Donedeal next May...

    Managed to get Golden Circle B tickets but apart from the location is there a difference between the A+B and most importantly are there bar and toilet facilities down there or do u have to fight with the rest of the crowd for these?
