Anthrax Kreator Testament 3Arena 25th Nov

[Pagan Saviour]

Cool lineup and am presuming it's the reduced configuration in the 3Arena, would those bands do 3-4K?

[Snare]

Hell yeah! Excellent news  I love all 3 bands, although I'm out of touch with Kreator for a fair few albums at this stage.

Great line up,that will appeal to a lot of heads!.Whats the capacity of the national boxing arena??didnt Testament and a few others fill that comfortably about 2 years ago?.So add add a few thousand to that id say,its got a bit of a big event feel to it so will draw a good crowd.

[Pagan Saviour]

Boxing Arena was 2k approx

3arena is 14k, not a hope

[Paul keohane]

Ah i know the line up won't fill the place!

5k be my guess!

[Pagan Saviour]

Picked you up wrong bro, thought you meant a few thousand more and it'd be full

[londonleatherboy]

what do we reckon ticket prices will be

[Deranged Bear!]

€72 a ticket...steep but a good line up so I'll probs fork out for it. For me Testament should be the headliners with the other two as support but that's the age old Big 4 debate for you!

[Nixer]

Fantastic line up and tickets will no doubt he snapped up fast.

Having said that, I won't be going on account of Bruxelles no longer catering to the unhygienic and I'm not prepared to have a shower for the sake of being let into a pub for some pints before or after the gig.

[Pagan Saviour]

€72 - Fuck That.

[Trev]

Bit much for me, especially considering how much Kreator and Anthrax have played here in the last 10 years or so

[Pain Medicine]

Think there has been a jump in ticket prices and this is just how much gigs are going to cost from now on. The fact that Sepultura and Jinjer sold out the Olympia in a few hours charging €70+ indicates people are willing to pay these new prices.

Personally don't mind on this occasion as I like all 3 bands and would expect to pay €40 to see Testament, Anthrax and Kreator individually in the academy. Just hope Testament get a decent set.

This is the kind of tour we always miss out on due to not having a 5k capacity venue so I'm glad to see it come to Dublin, hope it sells well enough.

The fact that Sepultura and Jinjer sold out the Olympia in a few hours charging €70+ indicates people are willing to pay these new prices.

I would say that's more because it's the last jaunt. I wouldn't be paying 70+ to see Sepultura ordinarily.

[Don Gately]

Great announcement, very happy with the 3 arena, able to bring the young lad. I always feel these days it could be the last time around for some of these bands so gotta go. Never seen Kreator live either.

[Airneanach]

Yeah those prices are actually alright when put in the context of inflation with everything else when you consider tickets for a single big act were about 60-65 for donkeys years. I remember paying 60 for Depeche Mode in the Point in 2006. An extra 10 or 15 more a lifetime later for smaller but triple the amount of acts is fine.
