Astorians with tickets

I've seen saturday mentioned loads as well... but surely we'll get a 10Club presale this time????!

if so then it could be tue-fri as we have to get in before the tickets are sold on general release.... unless saturday date isnt true... nobody knows :eek:

the Dublin date aint too good for me in retrospect (still going though) as our eldest starts school for the 1st time on the 22nd Tuesday and then she'll have her granny taking her for 2 days... my wife feels a bit funny about it, but she officially decided she's coming

how much are we talkin' to get the ferry to Dublin?

The ferry is normally very expensive... I used to get it from Stranraer to Belfast and it was £50ish and that was 4-5 years ago!!

i got flights last night, all in with travel insurance, taxes, etc for £37 return

I even booked my fricking hotel room last night as well :cool:

Got flight for £40, not booked hotel yet...

our hotel is right on Temple Bar area... i suppose hotel was least of worries as we could have bunked in with folk, but excitement took over me

i fuckin must get tickets now or she'll kill me

What's the advantage of the 10c tickets? I'm going arrive about 9am on the 23rd and leave late afternoon on 24th so will get some Dublin time in too

we get in around 9am as well... going to do Guinness factory tour for definite.. other than that not sure. i think we fly home at 15.05 or something as well :cool:


10C tickets, strictly speaking, means i should get first chance at tickets before general release... also depending on my fan club number i'm then allocated a seat nearer the stage than those in general release tickets... that sort of thing.... works really well in States but over here its had some teething probs for sure, hopefully this time it'll be all good!!

OK, cool... done the Guinness tour before, it's worth doing, think you should look after Mrs Dunc as much as you can, I'll head into town and check the place for Thin Lizzy rarities....

oh definitely

we'll be looking for something nice to do during day... go back to the hotel in the early afternoon for a nap though... we'll be leaving house at 4.00am for flight and i dont want to be knackered.... but we'll be meeting up with you guys pre-gig.... we'll be doing that again huh?

Someone needs to make a blogg like the Astoria one. Post a pre-party meetup place and all. I'm coming over for the Dublin show myself and would LOVE to meet ya'll again

Wolfamongwolves has been quiet... but he might be more informed of good bars for meeting up etc... he was with Dave and I in the queue and he's a good man

but the blog thing is a good idea... we'll see who gets tickets from this Astoria thread and hopefully all meet up again.. good times

Somebody mentioned Saturday... hope not, my youngest has an all day footie tournament!! :(

Christ I hope it's not Saturday, unless it's a 9am sale. Otherwise I'll be on my way to/in Cork booking my bloody wedding! Priorities - Pearl Jam or my wedding?!?!?!?

Pearl Jam it is .....
