    I'll have to check the buy and sell and ebay. What chances have I of getting a ticket outside the gig?

    Ebay has tickets being sold by Irish sellers... as a result i will use this evidence any time an Irish person complains about us "tourists" coming over for the gig... your own countrymen are ripping you off now :mad:

    wow the jurys has gone up a little since i booked. 3 person room (1 double, 1 single bed) is 116 euros

    not too bad, but a little more pricey than i paid

    still, it'll be good to all meet up before the gig


    Thats alright for 3 sharing.

    I think it was 93 euros for a double for us. And if you htink thats bad, try the Italian hotels, gonna cost an arm, a leg, and a little bit more.

    Glad to be heading to dublin,
    I'm going to see Metallica ( again) in the RDS outdoor arena ( again third year in a row) It's a great venue and wondering way it wasn't used for the Pearl Jam gig instead of just over 8,000 going it would have been 50,000.

    I'm sure there's maybe some reasoning behind it the band clearly like the venue as this will be the third time that they've played there and maybe there's an under estimation of the numbers they( being the promoters) believe the band will pull?
    I don't think they'd have an issue getting 50,000 to the gig ......

    Do these Irish who didn't get tickets think that there weren't any disapointed English who couldn't get into the Astoria?? Or that no English had to end up paying £250 - £400 for a ticket? I really don't understand what they're whingeing about. Even if PJ had played 4 nights in Dublin there still would have been some who couldn't get tickets. Thats life!

    Take a look at the thread on The Porch - Dublin sold out. I can''t believe all the petty whingeing on there. Look at this twat - Clean Francis - for example:

    "Fuckers!!!!

    I've said it many times before and i'm gonna say it again: Get the fucking english wankers out of our country!! The pricks got 2 pj dates and now the bollox's robbed at least half our bloody tickets!!"

I probably missed out on standing because of these bastards and others have probably missed out on going altogether because of them. "


    Fair play to you my friend. At last an Irishman with something reasonable to say about this whole affair. I'm English and I was forced to pay £250 to get into the astoria, which is in MY OWN BACKYARD. There were more Irish at the Astoria than English. There were also a load of Scots, Aussies, Americans, someone I met from Iceland, Norway, Germany, Wales....I could go on all fucking day. Suffice to say, and this may come as a surprise to some of the Irish who have done nothing but fucking whinge on this message pit - THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF DISAPPOINTED ENGLISH WHO COULDN'T GET TICKETS FOR THE ASTORIA. AND THOSE WHO WERE DESPERATE TO GO PAID A LARGE SUM OF MONEY TO GET IN. Simply put: Thats life!!

    And by the way, unlike with the Dublin gig - NOBODY BLAMED ANYBODY ELSE!! Except maybe the scabs/touts.

    I wouldn't mind but there is barely anyone in Dublin who is Irish!, it's just like London. Of course no Irish person has ever journeyed to our fair shores to see major bands.

    Bad luck if they didn't get tickets and I genuinely feel sorry for them, but unfortunately Pearl Jam are a HUGE international band that are gonna sell out quickly wherever they go. Demand is so High people are going to get upset and miss out, thats life, and bitching about it within your own ranks is not gonna solve a thing or earn them any respect.

    Nik, there's an Irishman called Richy Faceliftology who is desperate for a ticket. Can you help him out? He seems like a decent fella.
