I saw them in 98, that'll do me!
I'm the same, much rather be in Whelan's or the Workman's than the arena. In general, prices for the bigger shows are stopping me too. Not the arena, but I got excited to see Gogol Bordello were coming to the Olympia. It's over €50 though, so I'm going to skip it I think. And that's not even expensive these days. Maybe if I can find a job I'll think differently again, but I struggle to justify it these days, and I think I'm pretty well off
I've only ever seen them as S Club 3, when it was just Jo, Bradley, and Paul, back in 2009. It was fun, and I ended up chatting to the three of them after the set, but yeah I'm not pushed for ever seeing all 7 of them live. Now, if it was just Rachel doing a solo show of her own stuff, that I'd go to in a heartbeat, especially if it was in The Academy or something...
The Olympia is another venue I'm not a fan of, and throw Vicar Street into that mix for good measure. It takes a lot to get me to buy a ticket in venues I've grown to hate
On the other hand, I'm willing to take a chance on someone I've never even listened to if they're playing Whelans, Workmans Club, Grand Social, or Button Factory, because I really like them all as venues
