According to ticketmaster website tickets for Croke Park between €71 - €456

Steep but we knew that they would be,the Stones use dynamic ticket pricing to maximise their income.

The 456 euro ones could be the No Filter pit tickets though ,right beside the stage .
The rest of the tickets will be alot less.
Standing should be around 100 euro and the Golden Circle 250 .
Seats prob 70-250.

Its odd that they are playing Dublin on a Thursday night ,their next gig isnt until the following Tuesday in London.

So you're saying they could play 3 nights in a row in Croker? :eek:

The whole tour is 11 dates spaced out over nearly 2 months, it's probably all they're able for at this stage. Let us not forget, they are very old.

This is the pricing chart for Warsaw so expect something similar for Dublin.



So Lower level seating is 150-200 euro
Upper Level is 90 euro
Standing is 90 euro
Golden Circle is 150 euro ,Diamond 220 euro and the Pit is 450 euro .

Below is the seating plan for London


Standing is £90,Golden Circle is £250,the Pit is £400

Not too bad for upper level and standing I guess but you are paying through the cock for anything within 70 yards.

Residents are appealing to DCC not to grant the license as 3 concerts are already scheduled. Can someone please talk sense to them - this LEGENDARY group will come play this one gig and most likely will never be back! How can you not let this go ahead?

Jagger is skinnier than Bobby Sands could ever dream of.

sign up for the RS mailing list on there site i think

Residents will fight tooth and nail to stop this according to reports

Manchester on the 5th June is my back up and I'll have to try for a ticket at a later date if the residents win

If the residents did manage to get the licence blocked then surely it'd be time to pull the plug on one of those Taylor Swift gigs.

Ziegfeldgirl27

Could they do that even though her tickets are already on sale?

Why would MCD give up a gig for Aiken? Doesn't make any sense.

different promoters but surly Aiken should of hinted the stones were playing here unless early negotiations only started after the swift shows were booked ???

On the stones forums they think they have a backup venue in Dublin booked in case. Be nice if they played the Aviva instead

If anyone is going to the residents meeting tonight keep us informed

Yeah I thought that myself. I'd be shocked if, given the varying ticket sale dates, a pulled licence would result in a simple no-show in Ireland as many punters will be holding out for that gig.

As regards Taylor Swift, I can't see any way that her gigs will be amalgamated. It would be a logistical nightmare given that standing tickets are only a tiny percentage of the full lot. That said, will they push ahead with a gig that can't be more than 50% sold at this rate (going on available seats on ticketmaster).

I didn't realise it was different promoters, but surely MCD should just do the honourable thing and step aside. It's the rolling fúcking stones!

They're going to get the attention they want because of it being their last tour. I wouldn't worry though, it was all threats and false submissions the last time something like this happened. They wont get away with it again.

saw the report there on the news

that Stevens guy said it can take up to 18 days to set up the stage etc.

Nervy about this cause they will scare the DCC into the courts

that should of booked the Aviva and told the stones 45000 is enough

Ehh, the last time (Garth Brooks) the full number of gigs was refused planning permission on the basis of the ‘cumulative effect on residents and some businesses in the Drumcondra/Ballybough area of Dublin of allowing five shows to go ahead – three of them on weekdays – would lead to an “unacceptable level of disruption to their lives/livelihoods over an unprecedented and prolonged period caused by concert-related noise, access restrictions, traffic disruption, illegal parking and potential antisocial behaviour’. IE - DCC agreed with the residents that the promoter was taking the piss with the number of gigs in the application.

It wasn’t ‘threats and false submissions’ that led to the pulling of the gigs. It was a brazen attempt to railroad through too many gigs without appropriate consideration for the impact they’d cause. Brooks could have played the reduced number of gigs regardless. Quite what you think the residents ‘got away with’ last time is a head-scratcher. Croke Park only have permission for the three gigs a year. Anything beyond that is subject to input by any and all interested parties, so the residents are entirely within their rights to make the case against the awarding of the license. Croke Park and (presumably) Aiken Promotions understand that, and will hopefully ensure that they have enough measures in place to placate the genuine concerns of the objectors.

A number of submissions made to DCC were later found to have been made using false identities or without the knowledge of the person who was named in the submission.

The Dublin council was up for all five of those concerts, said in an earlier conference that he wouldn't have an issue with them. But felt he had to do something due to the residents threatening meeting urging the council not to go ahead with granting the licenses the week before the license was granted. I don't think the residents had it fully planned out because they had to follow through with their threats and seek an injunction which wouldn't have held up in any court. They won't get away so easily again with their threats.

They did it for Garth Brooks....refunds had to be issued to thousands.
People had to pay for hotels they no longer needed etc

This is dodgy territory if they deny Rolling Stones people will go mad....If they allow it people will go mad (the residents and people who missed out on Garth)

Residents on news stating that 3 concerts have already been granted licences...doesn't matter how many concerts or who it is, they are holding to the 3 concerts a year.
