Hello LittleMissMessy I am going to gig myself ..first Coldplay gig ..yes Just a little local information for you regarding Phoenix Park It is basically a large park or green space situated in the west of Dublin city. Best way to get to it will probably by bus. Buses will run from the city centre (once i get more information I will post it here) Phoenix Park would not be considered a regular music venue in Dublin. The gig itself i understand will take place in a Marquee or Tent structure. I actually find it difficult to imagine a crowd of 40,000 in a tent but i may be wrong. It is going to be a very large tent then. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Not sure if the gig is going to be sold out . There is a lot of advertising being done here and the ticket prices are a little expensive. Also the gig is on a monday night which is a bit unusual. I wouldn't take any notice of the "no cameras" . They seem to allow normal digital cameras and camera phones but not video recording or cameras with large lens. Looking forward to the gig .. any other questions ..let me know i will see if i can help Ray
