ACDC Croke Park Sat Aug 17th

went to punchestown and really enjoyed it- I was driving so was dealing with drunk OH,

didn’t get tickets for aviva initially but took a chance on limited visibility ones for €56. Had cracking seats with full view of stage and in premium section with easy access to bar. Was driving again but definitely easier. I really enjoyed the gig.

Will try for tickets but the ticketmaster % is gone mental, I’ve an Airbnb booked as hotels will be mental. So no driving for me if I get it- it’s ohs turn to drive but couldn’t be listening to the complaint. Long drive to Clare too.

Only starting prices. 85 for cheapo seats. But they'll be in line with Wembley, maybe a bit cheaper. So 125 standing. 140 ish gold circle.

Croke Park is huge, therefore any seat passed midfield is pretty terrible and you'll be looking at screens

I suppose when you look at in gaa game context , could you spot someone you know on hill 16 from the ard comhairle ?

It might not have been called Golden Circle but there was one, in fact two - one on each of the 'runway' thing from the stage.

The only way to tell which ticket you had was the Entrance colour and number, Red I think were golden circle and Green was Standing General behind those sections but the tickets were just the same apart from the colour route to get in.

Something like that.

I’ve never seen them before and I hope to get a ticket on Friday.

I haven’t bought tickets online in a long time- what time do they go on sale and do I need an account setup with Ticketmaster to purchase tickets?

Just looking at the ticketmaster website and it says the following:

A max of 4 in Presale, 6 for General Sale tickets per person and per household applies. Tickets in excess of 4 in Presale, 6 for General Sale will be cancelled.  

When is presale available does anyone know? I presume before Friday at 9am?

Ah get ya.

Friday at 9am it is so.

I saw their concert in Buenos Aires a number of years ago on YouTube. If this gig was half as good as that it would be great.

No presale for MCD subscribers anyway

With it been the same weekend as EP and 2 Johnnies do you think the allocation on Friday will 'sell out' ?

Pitch standing will sell out easily, the upper stands probably not so easily.

Thunder Thunder Thunder

Ole ole ole ole

I'll go on in the morning and see what's there...intend to bring smallie so will need seats. Tend to agree that anything in Croker passed sections XX6 is pointless really. I was in the top tier of the Davin for the Police and it was woeful, seemed like there was no delay set up on the speakers further back the pitch as the sound was waaaaay behind what was happening on stage.

Queud up for physical tickets at Empire Music in Limerick for that one and all!! Last gig I did that for I think.

If anyone have access to the residents sale can they please screenshot all the different prices please and thanks

Wasn't that an October show?

Was on the pitch for that one, it was amazing. I'd never do a seated gig in a stadium

Brilliant gig but I'll never forget the getting back. It was like the last scene from Titanic!!

“I met Brian Johnson and they’d just got off stage and I said, ‘You didn’t play 'Moneytalks’. Johnson, who referenced Edwards as, ‘A fine lass’ then quipped, “Awwww—I **** hate signing that song! I don’t sing it because it's too high!

Thunderstruck is far higher vocally than moneytalks though.

Thunderstruck is a gigantic world wide hit though, there would be uproar if they took that out of the set. I also like money talks though. There's not much room for the setlist to be changed these days, so many songs are staples that will always be there. Looking forward to what couple they bring from the new album, demon fire pretty likely as they played it in the last gig.

I wouldn't panic. It won't sell out.

If you get a croke park residents ticket there is very few in their allocation so you’d have a slim chance

€176.25

€166.25

€146.25

€126.25

€86.25 (Upper Tiers)

There is a front standing/gold circle area, even though it's not displayed on the present venue plan.
