StupidLikeAFox

Anyway the thing is in the sky (obv) so if ya just went to cashel and skirted around the place im sure you'd find some place to get a good look at them even if ya didnt have tickets

MidnightQueen

Mite go see it seeming as its not too far away from Clonmel but its on my 20th.

By the way Cashel is spelt like this: Cashel, not Cashell.

Suaimhneach

I got tickets, there is a small chance I can't make it, if thats the case, I'll give em away for free, but I won't know for a day or two. PM me if anyones interested.

It does look good alright!

watsgone

In am working there that sunday, hopingly I will not have to deal with any major incidents.

daywalker

Got my tickets , i applied as soon as i saw the ad on tv.

According to www.redbullairrace.com they had over 120,000 applicants for tickets but owing to health and safety restrictions they could only have a maximum capacity of 40,000 people.

rabbitinlights

Sorry for the wrong spelling, Im after getting 4 more tickets for myself a a few mates, what Cashel like for camping anyone have a recommendations for places to camp down there on the Sat night?

Sean.

Flukey

There will be something far more exciting of interest to Tipperary people and many other sports fans, in Croke Park that day. That's where I will be.

rabbitinlights

What? :rolleyes:

JohnCleary

I want tickets!

The final draw for tickets was today...lol i have 5 entries in! and i have been unsucessful in the last two draws :mad: . I was just wondering has anybody who is in the final draw recieved there final email today telling them if they got the tickets or not...i didn't get any email today so i'm guess it will be sent tomorrow?

Kingsize

whatever happened to the final draw?
The 1st & 2nd one seemed to happen really quickly no sign of a yay or nay for draw 3 in my email...

cornbb

Friend of mine won tickets in yesterdays draw and got an email. I had entered and heard nothing though

Sleipnir

I heard nothing at all yesterday. Odd.

misswex

I got confirmation yesterday that I got tickets in the final draw - just hope they come in the post in time!!

webmanie

rabbitinlights,

there is a good campsite / hostel on the Dundrum road on the outskirts of Cashel and it's right beside where the air race is taking place. If you're interested i'd get in touch with them straight away as it's not all that big and there's huge crowds expected for the weekend. They have a website - www.cashel-lodge.com. - or phone 062 61003.

Anybody coming down without a ticket might be disappointed - they have security fencing up everywhere, including the rock. But the roads around the event site are to be closed for a few hours on Sat afternoon from 2-5 so might get a sneak preview?

hth,

rabbitinlights

Thanks Webmanie, that place looks perfect, Ill drop them a call now.....


Really looking forward to this!

I got tickets in the 2nd draw (I think) they arrived in the post last week. My friend though got tickets in yesterdays draw she received email confirmation. I cant wait for it. Im not into planes but this looks fantastic. My 7 year old nearly sh*t his pants when I told him I got tickets. He loves planes with a passion. Can tell us all technical names for all differnent planes lol. We may have 2 spare tickets not 100% but will offer them up on boards (no charge of course) if they are not going to be used.

zefer

I applied for all 3 draws and got none
If anyone has any spare, I would be very gratefull!

Cool, thanks a lot

Gazza22

I am seriously so disappointed...

I had this all planned and all...got a day off and all! Sh*t

I didn't get tickets :mad: :mad:

aidan_dunne

No luck here in the last draw either! Fúck it anyway! :mad:

I cancelled a chance to go see the British Touring Car Championship at Mondello Park on Sunday in the hope I was going to get tickets to this instead. And now I won't get to see either. Looks like I'll just have to watch it on TV3, as the e-mail I got today said.

jozi

I got 1 email confirming i didnt win but nothing from the other 2 yet

I'd love to go but driving over from cavan without tickets may just not be a good plan

Skitbra

Anyone actually see it on TV? I have to say it looks terribly boring. On tv its edited and cut so that it looks more interesting but it really isn't. Maybe I'm wrong.

aidan_dunne

Yeah, I saw the highlights of the last round in Austria a few weeks ago on TV3. I thought it was good but I think I can kind of see where you're coming from, Skitbra. I think if you don't have much of an interest in planes or aviation you probably would find it boring but for someone like me who's into all that kind of thing I thought it was really cool, hence my disappointment in not getting tickets for it.

I suppose it's much the same thing with something like motor racing, I guess. If you're into it you think it's excellent but, if you're not, you can't see the excitement in it. The number of times I've had friends of mine say, "How the hell can you watch motor racing? It's so boring. It's just a bunch of cars (or bikes) going round and round a track." They can't see the excitement or entertainment in it because they're not interested in it like I am. So, I reckon it's probably much the same with this Air Race thing.

Loobz

I could do with 2 tickets. I didnt win the draw either. Its my birthday tomorrow and even though the tickets are free, it would have been one of the best birthday presents I ever gave myself.

/strolls away, staring blankly at the ground kicking an empty can ahead.

nag

nag is also one who applied manies the time but didnt get any

im so annoyed by this lottery crap. if they had charged as little as €5 or even €10 at least then we would know where we stand with the tickets, none of this 'draw' BS or even if they were to hold a day or two where they were available for us to get them, that would have been fairer.

what also annoys me is that there are people out there who applied loads of times just to get the tickets so that they could flog them on ebay for €25 or €30 a pop (or even more!). and the sad part is that people will still buy them coz they really want to go. personally, i dont believe in paying that kind of money for something that was given out for free. if feel totally ripped off.

im sure im not going to get anywhere with this request seen as how there seems to be so many ticketless punters here but id marry my dog if someone were kind enough to give me 2 tickets that they werent going to use

rabbitinlights

For a laugh I applied for a press pass on the website saying that I was a photographer for my website (kinda true) and low and behold a media necktag and media car pass sticker arrived today, I now get better parking, access to special area's to take photos and entry into the VIP ("friends area") area, they also sent me a map of the layout for the day, looks like a savage set-up, 2 areas for viewing, althought the huge "evacuation areas" kinda worry me a bit!!!

nag

omfg! ásshóle!! why the hell didnt i think of that!

nag runs straight into the wall - "i will be more sneaky next time, i will be more sneaky next time"

Fidelis

50 double passes left

Brock

my 4 tkts arrived this mornin i didnt even know i got em as the e-mail went into my junk folder stupid hotmail.

Fidelis

Brock, from which draw did you win the tickets?

balkieb2002

I've been working on the site, doing fencing crowd fencing for first few days but got a promotion since , I'm now part of the red bull team that has to put up the gates the plane flys through (18 metres high!!) before the race as well as replacing them if the planes hits them etc.. (ya have four mins to do it as well... no pressure with 60,000 crowds and 20 million tv viewers :P) Thought still nothing like seeing a plane flying sidewards 20 metres above ure head!

But really just wanna tell whoevers going you're gonna see a spectactular show. They had the first practice session today as well as an air show for the media (dual plane loop da loops etc), it really has to be seen to be believed. Planes are very fast and noisy.. though keep and eye out for the red bull plane piloted by a the hungarian creator of the race. Jaw dropping is all i can say

As for people who didn't get tickets they have another competetion on the site, but still even if ya dont get them, the view from the rock can see everything (the first gate is litarly metres from the rock walls) also good vantage point from main road. There are still 2 practice session left on tomorrow and sat (there were a few hundred watching todays from rock and roadside) so good chance to catch some pre-action.

galactus

WTF is the story!

Its like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: why was there a lottery in the first place.

I am never drinking Red Bull again. Bastards.

soloko
