there was a bit of shitstorm about the process on the boards thread a while back. from memory, because queuing outside the venue from all hours isn't allowed, the hardcore fans meet up the night before in a car park or somewhere and give each other a number with a permanent marker. then the fuck off home and rock up to the front of the real queue the next day.
they sound like a bunch of cunts.
Sounds like they need a slap.
Although the last couple of times I saw him at the RDS I did queue early for the pit. But I only arrived about an hour before doors and went for a wander around until showtime. RDS is a nice place to sit in the sun. Croker not so much.
