They're decent at it in Brussels, no?

I was joking ...

Yes. And probably Frankfurt. It's the rest of the UK and Ireland that don't.

 

[Brigantium]

What about the rest of the usual suspects, any preferences?

My preference would actually be London (beyond the lesser language barrier), I have not been there except to change planes through the airport and it would be cool to see some of the Iron Maiden historical sites ... plus obviously the London historical sites.

But, I am pretty iffy at coming anyway since they are probably touring the US this summer.

I wouldn't mind hanging out in Drublin with you guys. Let's hope I can make it.

 

[Cat Milk Supreme]

I'd rather go where they speak English

Excuse you me sir, we speak the finest english. When required to. However, get a couple of us together with a few pints and you may need subtitles...definitely need subtitles!

If you can make the time but there's other considerations, let me know. I'll get you airborne, at least.

 

[Ariana]

If we're talking about preferences, I'd go for London. I have a place to stay there.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

As someone whose never been to either place. I'd also pick London...I think.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

I'll join regardless of whether it is London or Dublin

 

[LooseCannon]

Makes no difference to me in the end, Dublin seems a little cheaper to get to, but I'm sure London would be just fine too.

I could possibly do Dublin but I'm almost definitely going to the London show.


Edit: thinking about, Dublin might be quite good if I could wangle it.

 

[Shadow]

Dublin and London could both work for me, provided anything works at all.

Great use of the word 'wangle'

We're gonna make it work, Shadow. We're gonna make it work.

 

[Black Wizard]

I will definitely be going to the London and Birmingham shows. Dublin would be cool too as I've never been to Ireland.

 

[LooseCannon]

OK, so we need to make a decision by Monday, so we can get tickets (for those of us who are sure they are going).

For me, ideally I'd like to fly in to wherever Friday and leave Sunday or Monday. I'm not worried about wrangling the time off, that's not usually too hard. So let's make a decision on three things - visit location, visit duration, sleeping arrangements (ie, do we all want to fend on our own, do we all want to rent an air bnb together, do we want to look at hotels. Some people may have their own places to stay or whatever, and that's fine too.

So for me, I am saying, Friday-Sunday, Dublin (5/5) London (3/5), rent an airbnb seems cheapest.

It's looking tricky for me to get to Dublin. I've just looked for flights, and it would mean a dash up to Newcastle or down to Leeds, possibly an overnight stay there or an extremely early start on the day of the gig, before flying to Dublin.
