In this thread you can post questions to fellow board members about things that aren't related to one particular gig.
It might be looking for accommodation between gigs, best way to travel between three cities or just some general advice about travelling in Europe.

its not that beautiful!
but to the author - i dont live in dublin so i cant help you out. but i may be staying down there over night and if so should have something sorted soon and ill let you know contact details for a few places.
the trouble is, there is a robbie williams(!) concert in croke park (irelands national stadium) the same night. it might (though probably wont cause there is millions of places in dublin to stay) cause a bit of a problem accomodationwise.
it could certainly cause problems for the security
if
axl doesnt show. they're not too well trained for rioters down there.

Well, my fiance and I are going to Dublin as well. We know that there's a chance Axl won't show up.... but it's going to be a nice trip anyway.
But we're having a hard time finding hotels that are not too expensive there.
Does anyone know of a good/not expensive hotel there

I also go to Dublin (from the Netherlands) and yesterday a booked a bed and breakfast. I found it on
www.bookin1.com
, they have a large choice. I also couldn't find an affordable hotel (unless you think that 650 euro for 2 nights is ok), so therefore I looked for a B&B. You can search on area (within Dublin City off course), but if you select Ballsbridge (the area which RDS is in), you only see two and they are both full. So you'll be a bit further from the Arena, but that shouldn't be a problem.
Good luck and see you there!

hey im 17 and I live in the US....I'm planning to fly into Portugal for the 27th and see GNR and then take train around Europe to see other shows......Download, Dublin, Nova Rock Fest, and Gods Of Metal are my preferences at the moment.
I want to get opinions about where to stay, where to eat, and how much a train ticket would cost to go from Portugal to Italy and UK and Austria. Thanks!

I'm not too sure about getting around Europe but you're going to have a hard time getting a train to the UK from any of the places you listed!
I think your best bet to get over to the UK from Europe would be to get to France and take the Eurostar - alternatively, look into flying or ferries. Ferries can take ages but they are probably the cheaper option. You're still going to have to find transport options when it comes to getting from the airport/dock/wherever into Download though. Trains in the UK are notoriously expensive too so I'd save up all your pennies for this trip!

With all the low budget airlines around, I'd suggest looking at flying as an alternative for trains.
The downside with these airlines is that often they fly out of smaller airports that are located quite far from the actual cities.
Some helpfull links:
