"It's like a big outdoor nightclub, 80,000 people coming to and from and that brings its own vibe to the area.
"It's atmosphere is very, very different than you would expect living next to a stadium where there are football games being played."
Those on the residents' association insisted they were not anti-GAA or anti-Croke Park.
A number who spoke at the meeting had mixed views on whether the concert should go ahead.
Eddie Traynor, who was vocal throughout the meeting, said allowing a fourth concert to take place would set a dangerous precedent.
"If we let them away once, if you don't hold your ground and you let them away once, it's four this year, it'll be five next year and before you know it, it'll be 10," he said.
"People say we shouldn't live there... our families were there long before that monstrosity was built," he added.

according to an Irish paper the following are the prices for the Croke Park gig
€71,€90,€136 and €181 (+€6.85 TM fee)
I imagine GA is €90 and no listed prices for Golden Circle and pit yet
Not bad, if thats the case - and those prices would make sense if they're going to fill a stadium of that size in an island of 6 million people. Most of whom will be the sort of event junkies that turn up to any large scale gig.
I'd be surprised if the best seats are 'only' €181, going by the UK prices though and I would assume all of those prices are without the booking fee, which is calculated against the ticket price. €6.85 looks more like a standard fee for posting the tickets, surely.
It'd be such a shame if Dublin doesn't go ahead.
Seeing them in Edinburgh will be great but to see them at home also in Ireland would be wonderful
yeah its 50/50 really
the DCC could get scared by the residents objection and concerns and decided nah its worth it and wont licence the show. I doubt the band have a back up venue lined up either
If the ticket sale does go ahead on the 23rd March than its anyones guess
The promoter lines up the back up venue, not the band. And a council isnt going to get 'scared' by a few residents if theres MILLIONS of Euro in tourism to be made. Its not as if Irish politicians have no previous history in bending regulations.
And I would bet the band's tour management company and promoters would have foreseen this. They covered that eventuality in 2006 when Wembley wasnt ready and they used Twickenham.
This is the most high profile show of the tour, being the opener. After the Garth Brooks fiasco, it would be catastrophic for Aiken Promotions' reputation and that of Dublin as a concert attraction if the show didnt take place at all. Right now, if I was a betting man, I'd give the Croke show a 70% chance of going ahead and a Dublin show anywhere at at least 90%.
Paddypower have since got rid of the bet but earlier in the week they had a croke park 4th concert special bet
Croke Park will 4 concerts take place there in 2018
Yes- 1/5
No- 4/1

Not a chance, too much money on the line and contracts already signed. Surprising he had to issue an apology, nothing to apologize for and he was actually extremely complementary of Jagger...

Is there a code???

AEG email about tomorrow's presale just says 9:00 AM, but does not specify if GMT or CET time zones. Guess I'll be up in time for CET just in case. Why do presaless have to be such a sh*t show?

Got one email for a presale tomorrow from Stereoboard, no code but links thru to here -

And one from AEG, pointing to same place by the looks, no code -

hope that helps

My guess is that all of these 9:00 AM presales, including TM, will reroute to AXS anyway. Though they did not state so in today's email, I would think they will send out a fresh code at some point tomorrow prior to the sale.
