Show a little faith there's magic in the night
I landed on Friday night at 23:20 in the airport Charles De Gaulle and realised there were no more trains for the day, so I decided to take a taxi to the hotel. Unfortunately the taxi driver didn’t know any English and my knowledge of French is limited to just a few words: “oui, no,... Continue Reading →
Revived and invigorated from Saturday night's show with The Seeger Sessions Revival we jumped on the Dart train to get a number before the first roll call early on Sunday morning. When we got to the assembly spot we saw that the line was longer than on Friday. We got number 881 and 882 and... Continue Reading →
Turns out we were not the only Springsteen fans who chose to attend the sold out concert with The Seeger Sessions Revival in the Button Factory in Dublin on May 6, 2023. There were familiar faces and Springsteen t-shirts all over. The stage was almost too small to host the 13-piece band which is The... Continue Reading →
The Dublin dates are the only tour dates that don’t have any option to buy front of stage tickets. That means that if you want to be sure to be in the pit, it will require a certain amount of queuing. With that in mind we went to the venue fairly early on Friday morning... Continue Reading →

The venue was situated on a hill and it took about 20 minutes by foot (using stairs... Continue Reading →
Show day #3! After as sturdy breakfast we went to the venue quite early to see if Ticketmaster would have any GA tickets for sale. The only GA offered online were “verified resale” ticket for about $2000. We had a nice chat with the security guard while waiting for the box office to open at... Continue Reading →
Showday #2! We left our hotel quite early. I had pointed out to my boyfriend that we didn’t have to go so early this time since we had seats and there’s really no point in queuing. However, he said that he wanted to go to the arena to soak in the surroundings and get the... Continue Reading →
You might say that this day, our first show day of this tour, actually already started the night before as we arrived late to NYC. Just before bedtime we made a successful exchange of tickets (from seated to GA) on BTX. With this in mind we decided to head to the venue quite early. So... Continue Reading →
As readers of this blog already know, I both enjoy going to concerts and to travel. Whenever there’s an opportunity to do both it’s even better. About a year ago my boyfriend and I saw a golden opportunity for me to visit Dublin for the first time as Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit re-announced... Continue Reading →
