It doesn't look that bad IMO. Few showers.

I wonder will the prices stay the same. I hope so.

30 euro is fairly reasonable for a t-shirt.

I always stick a thick long plastic bag that I can get my hands on, into my pocket .
If it doesn't rain, I don't have to wear/mind a rain jacket...

The weather looks fine?
Couple of showers won’t be the end of the world
It’s practically balmy for slane weather

Did anyone on boards win the meet and greet?

Leaving for the campsite at about 6 this evening. There's nothing being done in work today. Cross checking every weather forecast in Europe instead.

Weather looks to have improved for tonight / tomorrow.
Leaving work at 4:30 and up to Slane Farm.. hard to get motivated today.. "Oh your server is down? Can it wait?"

Can't attest to the quality but 2 for 1.50

Corruptedmorals

Tiger are selling them for 3 and 4 euro. Unfortunately the fun prints are for the kids ones only though.

I bought tickets for Dublin Bus, but it says they are box office collection? What does that mean? I need to show the confirmation or the credit card I used to book?

Anyone know where exactly the red car park is located on the Navan road and how to book it? I downloaded that Evntz App as suggested, but I don't see that car park listed to book.

Also, I assume that to get to the unofficial castlepark slane parking, you would need to be getting there before 10am, before they close a part of the Navan road into Slane?

It all seems a bit vague and no one wants to answer emails....

Who says nobody thought of it what's the craic with getting caught bringing drink in do they just take it off of you and let you in or are you out the gap?

just take it off you, never heard of anybody thrown out for smuggling booze or caught drinking smuggled booze. This is why it is worth the risk, as the price difference is huge. ~25years ago cheapest cans were about £1 (€1.27) which was a lot to be losing relative to the price of a ticket, and pints were not 6-7 times that price inside.

I would take in premixed vodka & apple juice or lemon as it is something I can tolerate drinking when warm. Less liquid in the system means less toilet trips too.

I have got 3 for 1.50 in dealz before, incredibly flimsy yokes but worked as a one off, they can fit in your pocket easily too. I have one from either lidl or aldi and it is much better but more like a thin jacket when rolled up, I think it sort of zips into itself and can be worn like a belt.

I contacted them myself and advised I would be arriving closer to 1pm on Saturday and they sent me a map with directions on how to approach the campsite from the Wilkinstown side.

So I'm now assuming it will be ok.

Their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. I went with Slane park in the end even.

Ghost have had the same set list every night on this tour so far I think with no encore. They play for around an hour. There’s no reason to believe it’ll be any different tomorrow.

Sadly Roky Eriksen died since their last show perhaps they'll drop that?

I know it's so unlikely but Blackened would be such a treat

Tar.Aldarion
