    any recommendations for Belfast... ?

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

    suppose the last thing to coordinate is the mass migration from Dublin to Belfast... did i read somewhere that there's a regular bus service that's probably the cheapest way of doing it ?

    No, the train is cheaper and quicker. €10 one way, takes about 2 hours from Connolly Station.

    ah-ha, a little local info, knew you'd come in useful at some point... ;)
    which is more than that slacker Al's been... :roll: :lol:

    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...

    Hi, quick question for the Dublin natives, does the new o2 arena also have a "pit" barrier a la the point 2006?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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:
