    Grow up.

    If you don't like his music then why go into a thread about his concert to bitch about him.

    I took the wife to Buble in the O2, or may have already been the 3 arena at the time as a skeptic of his. Not expecting much and basically just doing that dutiful husband thing of taking her to see something I have no real interest in.

    Was pleasantly surprised, audience interaction, good atmosphere, impressive vocals etc..... don't think I will enjoy Croke Park as much and the tickets are ridiculously priced imho, we are in lower cusack, 306. I assume the audience interaction level will drop except to those in front of him, too many people will be there. The sound for outdoor concerts is always a concern too, suffice to say this time I am doing the dutiful husband thing again but I am not dreading it completely. I expect to be entertained by him and I damn well better for the money!

    129.50 before any fee's/charges

    I am sure there are dearer ones again but those are the standard ones. The tickemaster outlet in town was selling them for 139.50. A tenner of a booking fee like is all I can assume, it was actually marginally cheaper to get them online.

    "Platinum" tickets were €300-500.

    And platinum pricing on Ticketmaster is basically them taking a handful of the good seats and touting them before they're even sold.

    I get 25% off Ticketmaster purchases via my bank so my tickets were about €100 each after discount.

    Which bank has that offer? Or is it something specific to an account you have or what? That is something that would come in very handy for me :)

    Yeah ufirst.

    Costs €10 a month but I generally make that back each year in ticket discounts.

    Plus I have other benefits like phone and travel insurance. Had to use the phone insurance a few months ago too.

    Sad to say but I have never been to Croke Park so not sure on the best option when driving up there.

      Park n ride from Red Cow to Abbey Street
      Try find parking near Croke Park


    Maybe someone more familiar might have some advice :)

    From the website it says it’s located in Eccles street near mater private

    Am I correct in saying that ?

    FWIW id prefer to pay the extra and have secure parking so this looks the best place

    Thanks :)

    I know for some concerts in Dublin, some of my friends park in Heuston and get the Luas into the city. But I'm not sure what time the carpark in Heuston is open until.

    IMO you would be mad to try and drive and park near Croker.
    Park at Luas and get that in, saves on all the hassle.

    Anybody remember what time he finished in the Aviva?

    I'm getting the Dart back to Dun Laoghaire afterwards and the last one leaves at half 11.

    Not a clue. I'm a culchie from Donegal heading to the big schmoke, lol.

    Coming down Thursday to Sunday and staying in Dun Laoghaire.

    Leap card is €20 for the 3 days so hopefully I can get a handy way back. To do it any later would mean a couple of different buses and 1 hour 15 minutes travelling.

    Dart would be 40 minutes if I can make the half 11 one.

    Parnell is the closest and is about a 20 minute walk from the stadium (possibly more depending on what entrance you're going in). Getting a luas after the gig though can be tough because of the crowds.

    Ah what do you want to know that for?! Sure half the fun is hoping he's do such a song next!


    I know Emile Sandé's the support act - but does anyone know if Naturally7 still tour with MB? I think they've performed at almost every MB concert I've been to and they are such talented guys.

    No they're touring in Liechtenstein of all places on Saturday (according to their website). It is unusual though as the three or four times I've seen him previously, they've supported.

    As regards the set list, you're right, I like the surprise. He hasn't played a full gig since December so there's no standard show set list, so thankfully could be anything and everything :)

    You should make it, if you don't there's a 7N Nitelink that goes from D'Olier Street at midnight. Think your 3 day card includes Nitelink also.
