    Well in all fairness... England got one gig of 1500 capacity. Performance at a festival is going to be short, and very impersonal!

    It took me 2 weeks to locate a ticket. I never once heard anyone blame anyone else. I personally find it pathetic.

    Richy_Faceliftology is cool, Keith. I think that last post of yours - number 1418 - was spot on. You should copy and paste it onto the other thread - "Dublin sold out" on the Porch. That's where all the whingeing's happening, and they need to hear what you put. Let's try and keep this thread a positive one. Let all the whingeing and negativity take place on the other thread.

    I mean "Dublin's sold out" - not a very positive, upbeat title for a thread is it??

    Yeah... sorry Richy_Faceliftology, wasn't trying to sound like it was directed at you, it wasn't!

    Jeez... what is the problem? The Astoria gig was all nations celebrating in their love of Pearl Jam and it made it very special... If the Dublin fans want to go strongly enough they'll get in, I paid £385 to get into the Astoria, Point tickets will go for a fraction of that and they'll be sold on ebay by all nationalities of sellers... to have a go at "foreign" fans is just ridiculous...

    anyone actually looked at the amount of tickets that are on ebay, no wonder so many people feel pissed off, its just not cricket, although its hard to say if somebody is just replicating cos theres three pairs of tickets all with the same bid time, but i thought the max to buy at once was 4, maybe its one of "maxtickets"(or whatever he was called) mates from the astoria shenadigans

    Agree totally but that's not down to "foreign" fans it's touts in general... I had the same issue with getting to the Astoria but I didn't blame foreign fans for that, some people are making a good living off this, it's not the fans...

    totally agree with it not being about the fans doing this, i had a spare astoria ticket for a while, but was never gona ask for profit from it, it was one of those cringeworthy moments where its about the music not money, just a pity people are getting screwed over it, always have a whip around in dublin for a free pint for the unlucky ones...notice i said PINT, singular

    I noticed on Ebay as well that its some Irish people who are fucking their own countrymen by touting tickets... so stop blaming fans who are travelling and blame the non-fans from your OWN country who are financially screwing you over...


    I'm scottish... I'm a member of the INTERNATIONAL fan club... . I'll travel where the fuck i want to watch my favourite band... and if the multi-national crowd who was at the Astoria was anything to go by, it'll be grand stuff!!!

    I never... not once... heard an English person complain about not getting tickets to the Astoria gig... everyone was in high spirits... its sour grapes on the part of the people who didnt get tickets... but Keithos, UKDave all paid £300+ for a gig on their home turf... i never heard these guys moan once... yet we had a huge Irish contigent in London... and of course, they were made completely welcome and made a good addition to the already multinational conglomerate of fans already attending!! :)
    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 know it's unfair to blame foreigners solely but you have to understand our frustration.The touts are the real villians,we all know that.But arriving twenty minutes after tickets went on sale only to be told they were gone and then come on the message board and have no one but foreign fans talking about going to the point gig is really frustrating.I don't hold it against anyone,it's just very difficult to swallow.

    I was up bright and breezy this morning, well 8.50am to secure my tickets.

    Can someone recommed a hotel close to the gig, within walking distance would be good.

    Cheers
