Hey!! I've been to the Olympia before but have always had tickets for the circle. Does the floor hold many people? It seemed relatively small looking down at it from what I remember. Also does anyone know if they will be doing the whole circle/pit wristband thing? I think I've heard people mention wristbands regarding the Olympia before but not sure if it's for every gig or an occasional thing.

it's small and as far as i know they always do the pit thing, though I haven't been there in three years now. Yikes!

I went there at the beginning of the year and there was no wristband for the pit.

I hope there wont be for tomorrow anyway!

I really fancied a few pints before this one, but as I'll be on the bus from the airport and straight in, it'll be a swift one at Stansted and some crafty swigs from whatever I can pick up in the airport cheapish on the plane. Bah! I'm tempted to try and get a different flight so I actually get to do something other than just the gig.

The last time I went to Dublin, I liked Kehoe's.

Club Hell is in O'Reilly's under some DART tracks. It's alright.

Incredibly cheap (but very average) pints.

Plus you have to walk past one of the finest establishments in Ireland, Mulligan's, to get there. Not far past it.

Mulligan's doesn't do music (in any form) or any fancy shite. Just unbelievable pints of Guinness.

The first time i was in there was before the Lifeblood gig, so it wouldn't be right not to go in there for my Brogans 10th anniversary.

Might be a place to keep out of the cold before the bus.

Not many though.

Their own usual pre-show and walk on mixes are deadly.

I won't be drinking before this gig - I want to be stone cold sober to take everything in.

Also, I'm with Dave-O, do Mulligans rather than Club Hell.

Yeah. At the break I can imagine a Pamplona style surge for the toilets...

Mr. Self Destruct and myself were only discussing this the other night (in the pub, naturally) and I think the general consensus is take it easy on the beer for the reasons mentioned above.

And the 3 hour bus journey home after. Most of the Aircoach fleet have loos now though.
