Great sound, excellent views (with the odd exception), nice staff, good bar and it's bang in the middle of Dublin. James calls it "Dusty Old Friend".

The venue is lovely. I was up there for Jimmy Carr actually, and you can see everything as long as you get a half-decent seat. There's a good few museums, galleries, flea markets etc on Saturdays. Trinity College is kinda cool and George's Arcade has some cool stalls, especially some Japanese ones. If you're going for a pint, don't go to somewhere in Templebar though - twice the price. I'm sure the Hull game would be on somewhere too!

Bars: Avoid Temple Bar - I'd recommend the Stags Head on Dame Lane, Gin Palace on South Liffey Street, Mulligans on Poolbeg street (I think) .... if you are looking to while away a few hours reading by an open fire then the Library Bar on Exchequer Street is a good bet. Food: Cheap and cheerful Falafel - Umi across from the Olympia. Also try Boojums in the Italian quarter for burritos. All 5-10 mins from the venue

I am doing the crazy thing to fly in from Germany just for the gig...was wondering if anyone would like to meet up or go there together? I usually have to go to concerts by myself since no one really loves the bands I do...not even Morrissey...but I kind of feel like THB is something you need to enjoy together - even with pre-gig chatter! Anyone?

Cheers for the suggestions, getting in at around 9am so probably have a breakfast somewhere, be nice to make a decent day of it. Will probably print off a map, so long as venue's easy to find and well sign posted I like the idea of an aimless wander. Will have look around Trinity and Library Bar sounds great, cheers.

I was in chicago on business when the tickets were released. I got up at 3am to buy tickets and yep, ticketmaster crashed like a bollox after trying to pay for them. They were gone.
Had a look to see if I could get two tickets to surprise my wife who hasnt been well, we were both at the last olympia show. Omg at the prices

I got my tickets, 2 standing. I wont say what they cost but I had some money in my paypal account from ebaying a few things which took the sting out of it a bit. Still a shocking price though and I wont be telling my wife.
So my plan is to contact her mum, arrange for the kids to stay over that saturday night. Im going to book a hotel, then on the morning of the gig Im going to tell her to pack a bag, shes going to Dublin to stay tje night and see the Manics on this very special tour. Thats the plan anyway, wish me luck!
