ATHEIST/CRYPTOPSY/ALMOST DEAD - 19/03/24 OPIUM, DUBLIN

Much of a crowd at it?

Whelans apparently in total holds 670 so going by that I'd say easily 500 or more were there. Usually when it's warm it means a decent turnout.

[Ducky]

Holy fuck, that sounds amazing.

[Paul keohane]

 Whelans main venue holds 400 odd!

[mickO)))]

It's 450 on the main floor, 120 upstairs and 100 on the parlour which I am guessing is the area that the bar is located in.

[Pain Medicine]

It's 450 for the main venue total, including the bar and the balcony.

The 'upstairs' is referring to a separate venue through the back of the smoking area where they hold the silent disco and BIMM student gigs that kind of thing. The Blaze Bayley gig a few weeks ago was originally supposed to take place in that room but was moved to the main venue. The Parlour is another part of the bar you can rent out privately.

350-400 then I reckon last night. I miss the times when H use to post on the old forum about how may payers shows had and what the bands themselves thought about the shows.

[Pain Medicine]

Yep it's a pity, used to find all the numbers and attendances interesting

[Pagan Saviour]

Yeah loved that myself. Used to be able to do similar on a site called Billboard Boxscore in the States. Fascinating place altogether, and it was always surprising to see how few numbers "bigger" bands would pull over there.

Is that down to since he's working with MCD or just too busy (because fucking hell he's lashing the shows out lately)

[Pain Medicine]

Dunno, but he has almost completely stopped posting here since that deal.

I don't think so because I can't ever remember him posting those details after a gig since this forum has been around. The stopping selling through Tickets.ie definitely seems to be down to the MCD deal as they stopped selling for his shows just before the announcement was made.

[Pagan Saviour]

He definitely used to post here, even once or twice recently, Cynic thread?

[Pain Medicine]

He did a podcast last year which was kind of interesting, although think it is from before the MCD arrangement;
