    I can only do London because of lack of holiday time and such and such.

    but me and the missus plan to make a weekend of it... which basically involves me getting drunk and trying to get her to allow me to watch strippers.

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I'm really on the fence with London. I'd love to go, too see both friends and the band. but.. hrm..

    also, I feel like an awful person now. :o I offered my Dublin spare to one of them friends I mentioned. she said she might be interested. BUT now I'm getting second thoughts. I've never travelled with anyone. and this is a Pearl Jam thing - meetups and stuff. ugh. I'm kinda selfish and want all my PJ peeps all for myself. :mrgreen:

    ah well, I still hope she can go. :) (it's not like I'm gonna tell her she can't have the ticket!)

    Please let me know if I can help with the preparty and fundraiser and all the rest!

    I'd say Whelan's is a good place for what we want to do.

    Well, I've been to a few of the fundraisers in the States and they were great fun! Only thing holding me back is that it would have to be on the night before the show, as people will spend the next day queuing. Manchester gave me hope that it CAN be done... :?

    I know I'll fly in the night before. Depending on a hotel costs I may need floor space if I'm going to be there for 2 nights though :oops:

    Think if you let people on The Porch know you're planning it soonish then people will book their flights accordingly.

    Sure there are plenty like me that are doing Dublin, Belfast, London that will be booking a week off work anyway :mrgreen:
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    We just booked our flights for Ireland...

    £11.96 return for both of us. :shock: :o :shock: :o :shock: :o :shock:


    :mrgreen: :geek: 8-)

    I'm finding dirt cheap flights too but once you add airport taxes..... (would be flying from Heathrow)

    That was everything included (taxes and fares, one piece of hand luggage each). BMI baby have a sale flights were £2.99 each, each way... oh and we're flying into Belfast Intl from E.Midlands on 21st June... that's how it's so cheap!

    We're getting the train down to Dublin if we manage to get show tickets and then training it back up for the Belfast show the next day. If we don't get Dublin tix, we're just gonna spend the day going round Belfast :)

    It's gonna cost us a grand total of £30 to travel to, from and round Ireland for both shows :geek:
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    Looked at BMI baby.... more expensive than some others for me! I guess it's choice of airports and timings....

    It's not rubbing it in... I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on anything! Anyway, will worry about flights and hotels a bit later... once I know I have tickets.

    I'd say Whelan's is a good place for what we want to do.

    Can't imagine getting Whelan's booked to be honest. We'd need to go for something a bit less in demand. Not sure if The Underground at Kennedy's (behind trinity) is still operational, but that would be perfect. Or maybe whatever they're calling the venue at the Isaac Butt these days.

    It's pretty damn central - 2 minute walk to O'Connell Street - though not the nicest area in the world.

    Well for about £70 all in I got my flight to Dublin and from Belfast to London. Same as you Rita I need Heathrow and that puts the price and taxes up.

    For those flying into London of the London airports if the prices are similar for flights go for Heathrow as you can get straight onto the tube without having to pay the expensive trains from the airports to London.

    Excellent suggestions! The Underground is still going alright, and I thought of the Isaac Butt but it looks like a coffee shop at the moment! If there's still a pub in it, it'd be perfect for it as most would be in or around the northside anyway!

    My friend's band played the Isaac Butt the other night, so it's still going.
