    Tickets pricey , assume lack of interest reason ?
    Very few concerts sold out this year ?

    That's three concerts this year at the Marquee cancelled or moved to a different venue.
    Idina Menzel and Steve Van Zandt were always going to struggle ,I'd have thought Emeli Sande would have done better though.

    Poor form to cancel it at such short notice though.
    Aiken needs to up his ante,the standard of acts appearing at the Marquee over the last few years has been in serious decline.

    I think the ticket prices for a lot of the shows are too expensive, most acts don't play as long as they normally would in other Venus. Seems to me most acts only play for an hour n half. The ticket price should reflect this.

    to be honest with you and hour and a half is the norm now for most gigs. The exception being big stars with 20+ years back-catalog like Bruce Springsteen, Guns N' Roses, The Cure to name just a few of the big recent touring acts.

    Well the majority of concerts I've ever been to the have all been 2 hours Plus it's only the shows in the marquee that I've been at hour n half concerts.

    Traffic is very heavy and slow after a concert down there, I think you are better off walking back to the city after the concert and getting a taxi then from there.

    There is normally a good few taxis outside the Marquee when you go out. Might be easier though to walk into town and get one. Rather than sitting in traffic for ages.

    went to see Future Islands last night in the Opera House, they played for 90 mins and then did a 20 minute encore. Was a brilliant show too.

    Speaking of encores i was at green day last week and there encore was 5 songs and they played for 30 mins for the encore !!!. Nearly longer than poor gavin James.

    I think the tickets where 34 euros I got it for free as no one else wanted to go with one of the lads and I was like free gig how bad.

    Like I seen gavin support the corneas years ago in Waterford and his sit was nearly the same length! !!

    How long did the Green Day concert last? I saw them in Marley Park years ago and they played for 3 hours.

    Over 2 and 1/2 hours played near 30 songs.

    65 euros I think the tickets where. Bargain when you look at the ticket prices now !!!

    Petty about the weather there last week but was a fantastic gig so much fun !!.

    First time heading to the Marquee tonight for Gavin James with herself, just wondering if there's anybody on before? Gig says 8pm, but no mention of an act being on beforehand on ticketmasters website or the mails I got from them with tickets etc.
