I know Helen is 2nd in line for Sandra's spare (Pin is 1st) so she would probably welcome a 10c ticket Rita.

EDIT: see Jenny already has them

Dylan (Belfast1) has a spare Dublin for Helen if she wants it. I'll try her on facebook, but she should get in touch with him.

god... that's not 10 euro if you book it 4.73 months in advance on a Wednesday, while standing on one leg is it ? 'cos it feels like that's the sort of thing you have to do over here to get the cheapest fares...

No, at the moment it's all trains at all times. I did a search for trains next Wed (since you can't look as far as next June) and all the trains for the day are €10 one way.

cool. well, guess we'll just have to remember to book 'em in advance in about 5 months' time!

Jenny.... do you think if I get a flight landing at 15.30 on the day of the gig is cutting it too fine? It's with Aer Lingus.. don't know if they are reliable or not.

Am looking for flights and AL have flights for nothing, you pay airport taxes and charges (which comes to about £75 for one person!)

I sent her a text. She still hasn't heard from Sandra. Think she hopes to hear for definite from Sandra today on whether she gets her spare. She'll drop belfast1 a pm this evening.

feck it... booked the Parnell Street Jury's Inn even if it is in a 'dodgy' area, everything else was just too expensive so my Scottish genes won out over personal safety... :roll:

any recommendations for Belfast... ?

if you are truly Scottish you'll sleep in Belfast airport for free...

I was only partly assimilated :oops: Booked an apartment in Dublin that will sleep 4 for the same price as the cheapest hotel I could find :P

Good move!! Good way of spreading the costs

IF...IF... I make it I will need to sort flights / hotel / floorspace at a much later date :roll:

They are indeed reliable (as much as any other airline are!). Take it you would be leaving the airport at 4, you would be in Dublin City Centre at 5, definitely at the O2 by 6 at the very latest, allowing for dodgy traffic and all that! Get the Airlink bus from outside the departures gate (Green Bus) to Bus Aras. Costs €6. From there, you can walk to Jurys, and then get the Luas/taxi/walk to the O2 along the Quays.

Thanks Jenny... hmmmm... doors opens 18.00hrs or so? Maybe I'll take an earlier flight. It's just that Rob can't really be rushed in any way.

i'm on the Air Fungus flight from Heathrow at 14:15, due in at 15:30. should hopefully leave enough time to get to the hotel, then to the venue to get the tickets and then to find some beer/guinness... fingers crossed!! :shock:

I had about 14 hours sleep in 4 days during that trip and I also got drunk every night. I have to say i'm ashamed of some of the much younger peoples on that wee mini-tour. young folks nowadays just can't compete

A reliable friend has two 10Club tickets for Belfast and needs 2 tickets for Dublin. The 2 Dublin ones could be 10club, standing or seated.

Please contact at this mail.

Aer Lingus are way more reliable than ryanair... any flight I've got with them has taken off exactly on time, bar maybe 1.

However, I'm a complete time freak and I would probably not take that chance Rita :oops:

Jenny, the 16 and 41 buses also go from outside for 2.20euro... only a few minutes slower than the airbus... and more frequent.

:oops:

16A and 41 I wouldn't say only a few minutes slower... sometimes it takes years to get down to O'Connell St...
oh and they don't allow suitcases or even small trolleys on board anymore...

JordyWordy

Pay the 7euro for the aircoach, the 16A is a load of cack.

:shock: really? I've always got the 16 or 41 and it's always flown in... anytime I tried to get the airbus.. been waiting ages for it :oops: if you go in rush hour it'll take hours... otherwise it's not much difference.

danleri

just think Aircoach is more comfy... especially if you think the guys will be already tired from the trip and excited to get into town as soon as possible to meet the rest of us and go to the venue...

fair enough... even at 6/7euro, it's still incredibly cheap airport to city transport for anywhere in the world.

nutmeg81

ah the air couch are robbin gits.

yeah the 16 & 41 take a lil longer but once u get into town the luas line has now been extended to the 02 as of this week so ya wont have to walk or get an expensive taxi
