**aidz1** · 28/06/2005, 3:42 PM

ok
is this not rip off ireland or what#

i go to buy standing tickets for this gig and was quoted:

�49 for terrace, or �59 for pitch standing

wdf is that about?????
a tenner extra to stand on the pitch as opposed the terrace??

**Dublin12** · 28/06/2005, 3:46 PM

No really,Lansdowne is a kip and all the action will be on the pitch for that gig,it's worth the extra tenner,if you were going to see Elton John(dread the thought)it would be better to be in the stand and I imagine prices would be reversed.

The terrace is at the far end of the ground, the stage being at the North terrace end, go for pitch, I'll be working at it, so personally I'll be paid to watch!
