Have had my ticket months, but i'm wondering if it says anything about the passion or drive of Metal Fans in Ireland if this hasn't sold out yet? what is it 2k it holds? there's a Metal Heads Ireland facebook page with thousands of members, but like Testament and Exodus is litteraly A level trash.

Well strictly speaking they would be considered b level - below the big 4. People may disagree with me on that but that's how I see them. It's also on a weekday in Dublin - that particular issue has been discussed to death both here and on MI but it stills remains true - it being a mid week gig in Dublin is understandably a disincentive to travel.

Cheers man, does all make sense. Accommodation not cheap in Dublin either.

Lack of passion?? Standing tickets sold out months ago!! It clearly has more to do with the fact that the remaining ticket selection is fairly shit. Can't imagine too many people scrambling for tickets that will have them seated miles away from the stage at a thrash gig?
Fair play to your for getting your ticket early. I'm hoping I can score a standing ticket soon.

Miles away? I've only being to the stadium for boxing, it ain't big, nowhere is  miles away. For the boxing anyway there are no bad seats.

I've never actually been to this venue, I've only seen the seating plan,  so I might have been a bit off the mark with "miles away".

OK so a few quick points:
- Miles away? Hardly. The vantage points are amazing everywhere due to the tiered nature of the venue. Sure all the seats aren't ideal but that's life.....if any of you know another circa 2k cap venue in Dublin then I'm all ears. Fact is the tour wasn't coming here unless I could provide a capacity like that after Testament selling out Vicar St easily last time. The remaining tickets are no different to standing at, for example, Vicar St from halfway back 'cos you don't want to be in the pit.
- Sales are just fine - London is 2300 cap and isn't sold out yet, as an example. There are also a fair few venues on the tour in both UK & EU smaller than Dublin.

Over and out.

Getting tickets to this next week after pay day, going to be a big month for tickets. I've never been to this specific venue but boxing venues are usually pretty tight and the tiered standing bit seems cool, less chance of being stood behind a tree. Two and a half thousand tickets seems a big shift but fair play to DME for going for it, three quality bands there and they know more about putting gigs on than I do.


Show schedule for those looking to make plans....
Doors 6
Death Angel 6.45 - 7.35
Exodus 8 - 9
Testament 9.30 - 11

A sardonically ironic poster. There are major landmarks getting destroyed but the American's get an itch in their craic when the old Twin Towers are mentioned.

I don't think so. As far as I'm aware, neither the Eiffel tower nor Big Ben have exploded, where as the Twin Towers disaster was a very real event which killed almost 3000 people.

Finally got tickets, 45 quid for three bands that could by rights headline a show over here on their own is pretty decent value.
