This is stupid.

We won't even know who's in the draft and they're putting on another show even before they have had the first one?

Ah well, at least we can talk about this one!


**big thanks to KNN about hitting me up about this one

Not really...if you are going to go, you'll go! You are gauranteed that there will be big names regardless of the draft.

Ahem........C-B-G? All kudos go to who?

Can't say im overly interested. If they announced the tickets to go on sale a week or so after the upcoming WWE events, then i'd probably care a little more.

is it an acutal live raw episode, or just a stage show?

Just a house show.

Same old sh*te on a different stage and a different night.

You really know a show is bad when Cryme Tyme are one of the main attractions.

This show is always a guarantee sell out though so maybe they are a draw :rolleyes:

You know what'd actually be pretty cool?

If they did, instead of a Survivor Series tour, a Royal Rumble Tour. And each card had a Royal Rumble on it.


Fair enough, the winners wouldn't be getting a shot at Mania, but it'd still be pretty cool to see. The rumble could be the second last match on the card, and the winner gets a shot at the heavyweight title. The WWE title match happens after the Rumble.

ie: Jericho wins the rumble, and during his celebration, Orton's theme hits, and orton comes to the ring and the have a quick match (as Jericho would be tired, obviously).


As i say, the winner wouldn't really get anything, but it'd just be great to see a (properly done) Rumble live.

Am I the only thing that thinks 76.25 is a little steep? I would have had the 65.70 tickets as the top tickets.

Not really feasible as you might not even have 30 guys on tour with a brand without putting them in the same match and a long match at that

Nope, those ticket prices are bloody mad for a WWE house show in that venue for all that you're getting.

EdK

I'd like to see him charge $90 for house shows in the US, I know the overheads are clearly higher here but they are still taking the piss

Good point, but they could do an inter-promotional show, and have it like the Summer Bash kinda thing. Hype it up really big and bring over 40 wrestlers. RAW is the only show that goes live, so they could easily get the rasslers over for the right amount of time, etc. and im sure they'd make more $$ doing a royal rumble tour than they would doing their normal series of house shows in the US.

How much do house shows usually cost in the states?

They only charge that much here because they know they wil get it.

I definetaly sounds dear since the cheapest ufc seates were only €50...Tbh anywhere in the 02 and you still have a excellent view..Cheapest seats would be well worth it even if as Shawnraven says it is the same ol' shyte

Normally between $50-60 unless it's a special occasion (MSG house show).

Has anyone been to anything in the 02 yet?

If so, could you post some pictures of the inside?

Bring 40+ wrestlers adds to their costs and they aren't going to go to any effort to do something special/different as they can sell out the likes of the O2 with zero effort

I have a panoramic shot taken from UFC in January, was taken with the phone so don't expect crystal clearness.

I only paid $60 for top seats at a Smackdown tv taping in Orlando in November, we are getting ripped off over here big time.

Will I still buy tickets in the o2? Sadly yes!

VR, Your seats don't look to be the best (that is, they're pretty far away, considering the O2's size).


Was your view terrible, great, mediocre...? Just looking to get an idea of what it'll be like at WWE, if your seats were a fair bit back. Does it really have a "every seat has a good view" feel to it, or would i be exaggerating saying that?

Quit being a dick and referring to me by my old nickname.
The seats actually weren't that bad, the phone had a zoom out feature to cater for the panoramic view as i wanted to get the view from one side of the venue to the next. We could actually see everything inside the cage from the overhead.

View was fine. I'd gotten front row for UFC 72 in Belfast in 2007 and i spent a lot of my time looking at the screens for different angles at it so i didn't bother with them this time around. But as i'd said, we'd no problems with seeing the action inside the cage from the overhead for the striking and takedowns, we then turned to the screens when the ground game came into play.

I honestly couldn't see it being a problem, but then, i'm not a photo guy for sports type events, i leave that sort of thing to gigs.

pingu_girl

Sadly haven't been to the new 02 yet but by the look of the that picture there isn't a bad seat in the place, it looks ideal for wrestling shows or the likes.

Anybody know how many it holds for wrestling shows?

ShawnRaven

9,369 was the official figure for UFC 93 in January. Not entirely sure if that was a sell out though.

thats a big difference to what they said when it was bring built- "cater for 12,000 for sporting events, wrestling, boxing etc"

rossie1977

there isn't really a bad seat in the house at the O2, i was there for UFC93 and a few gigs since and no matter where you are you get a good view, in truth it is concert venue though, its built in a bowl shape so no matter where on the floor you stand you get a great view of the stage

my seat for ufc was right at the top of the first tier of seats, i suspect the wwe will have a similiar setup with a tier of seats where the stage is located



i agree with shawn, the price that wwe charge for houseshows here in ireland is crazy, especially for what you are getting.

fully seated it hold approx 9,500-10,000, for concerts they remove one tier of seats and the floor becomes huge catering to about 14-15,000 then

Rossie got it in one though.
It does cater for 12,000 however you must take into consideration that amount of the seated area taken up by the rings, entrance ways, production crews etc.

It was the same with the old Point, that had a capacity of about 8,000 with the standing area full, however only about 6.000 for WWE events because of the ring and entrance ways.

I guess theres still a fair few differences between 6,000 and 10,000

4000 at 77 bucks a ticket = €308,000!
Damn straight!

CMpunked

Heard it costs about 200,000 to rent out the o2 for an event.
Less catering, security, staff etc etc etc.

So that 300,000 would cover all that!

You need to take a look at the ticketmaster website Pingu Girl. ;););)

orestes

Read the charter, the mcd sticky, and the warning announcement at the top of the forum regarding mcd events folks. How much more can we do to point this out to you?

What part of "do not discuss" is difficult for some people to understand?

I've edited the offending posts this time with no further action, but in future bans will be handed out.

I was on about that AWR crowd.... I dunno what you thought I was referring too lad, :pac:

Banned for a week.

Not for the personal insult or the arguing with a mod warning in thread or anything, just because I find your inability to use punctuation and to spell correctly distasteful. Then again, I am on a power trip.

Ha ha, legend.

Out of interest are you HHH or Austin?


On topic:
Is anyone actually gonna go?

I would have said "Cool, WWE Dublin shows are always good and i dont mind trying to spend about 65 ish quid because its a while away."
But seeing as they have put these tickets out now months before an upcoming show annoys me.

It píssed me off when coldplay did it. They had a show in pheonix park (i think) and then about 3 months before it they announced a show for another like 6 months after that?

Kane-N-Nite

Of course, I'm gonna go go. Can't miss number 30!
Is there gonna be a priority tickets sale?

EDIT: It seems there is indeed a presale

>_< Anyone know how one avails of the presale? Like, where do we get the code?

Also, lol, hey everyone. Back again ;;>_>
I'm a mixture of laughing and angry here. I wouldn't have known this was even taking place if not for the fact my mom was looking for tickets to Neil Delamare. I'm hoping the rest of the general public won't have realised either and that better seats might be available

Are you on O2?

Lord TSC

Yeap. But searching their site where they put the stuff last time, I can't find a link or any information for the SvS tour ;_;

EdK

By texting the word WWE to 51020 if you are an O2 customer

Lord TSC

Hehe, thanks.

Hopefully there won't be a mess up on their site this time. And knowing my luck, I'll go and be offered great tickets, only for my credit card not to take it ;_;

EDIT: Problem Number 2. The O2Blueroom site isnt accepting my vaild phone number to login; is there a special way you're meant to put it in <_<

krudler

The presale tickets are usually ok, its worth getting an o2 sim just for tickets as theres plenty of things I wouldnt have even known about as I dont use ticketmaster that often

Wouldnt take my brothers either luckily you dont need to log in to use your code click the just looking part

Lord TSC

Hehe, turns out the number is for O2Blueroom.com, not O2Blueroom.ie

Can you do it by just going on the Ticketmaster page and continually reloading it till 9? Or do you have to go through Bluerroom. And can anyone see a link on the Blueroom site?

Sorry for all the questions. Last time I did this preorder stuff, there was a mess up and I ended up being pushed back a few rows because of it.

Lord TSC

Anyone else on for the tickets? <_<

Whiplash

yea but dont see a link for it on the o2 website yet
