    I'm with you Mossy - sooner the better this stuff gets knocked on the head, and a bad experience of these clowns will more than likely make it a little easier for fans of bands to actually get tickets for gigs......

    Real fans will be members of the fan club and have access to presale tickets!

    I'm meeting some people to give them tickets to the Cusack Stand, but my seats are in the Hogan stand. Can we all go in one entrance and then make my way around to the other stand?

    You could meet somewhere on Clonliffe Road but will have to go seperate ways after that. See seating plan access routes http://www.ticketmaster.ie/seatingchart/196746/12608

    afraid Bluetonic is right, it's rubbish, being a member of a fan club no longer really means that much......with the number of presales around for different events and some gigs offering tickets with Fan Club membership there's no reason why touts won't get fan club membership to get extra tickets......

    there's always tonnes of tickets up on Ebay right after Fan Club presales, hard to stop really, but I'd like to see them try.....

    I assume the times are the same regardless of the day. 6.30 (Republic of Loose) 7.30 (Kaiser Chiefs) and 9pm (U2).

    I agree that touts can also exploit this area to get tickets, but my point is that if a fan wants to ensure they can get tickets for U2, then their best bet is to be part of the fan-club. It's the only way I've been able to make getting tickets a certainty.

    Things are a lot different this year with the economic climate, but for Vertigo, I tried to get additional tickets for other nights and didn't have a hope. Being in the fan-club has made it easier for me to get tickets. How anyone can call that notion rubbish is beyond me!

    That's the only point I'm making here!

    People who are indifferent to the band won't go as far as joining the official fan club, but fans who genuinely long to see the group may not have access to ticketmaster (or any success on their website), so being part of the presale gives them a good chance of getting a ticket.

    Tell me, what is rubbish about that?

    Are you sure about that??? As far as I know, the presale was available three days before the general sale for certain level of membership, and two days for other levels. They continued to be available for a certain time. I was able to get tickets for the Saturday night gig on presale, and then more tickets for the same night on the general sale, and the Saturday night concert was the fastest-selling!

    By your rational every should join the fan club to ensure they get tickets, but then doesn't that then lead to the same problem as before raise it's head as more people join the fan club. Fools and their money.

    'Real Fans'.... don't make me laugh. Rubbish.

    Oh yes, mid 20's up. Most places dont open late monday, clubs and late bars included, so was just wondering has anyone heard of places opening up til late on what, you would imagine, will be a fairly busy night. (Not Coppers)

    No, my rationale is that the best chance for a fan to get a ticket is to be part of the fan-club. That is not rubbish!

    I never suggested that everyone join the fan-club :rolleyes:

    Joining a fan club does not guarantee you a ticket, and therefore you can't say it's better than other methods.

    While we're here what is a 'real fan'?

    ps Why the use of a sarcasm smiley when you weren't using sarcasm?

    So was I to be honest MM - I just got drawn into the other debate.

    Still love to know what a 'real fan' is. I though that sort of talk only goes on over on the Soccer forum.

    I think that scully was refferroing to Real Fans as opposed to people buying tickets to sell them.......and I guess more dedicated fans of the band.....

    scully - I take your point that the Fanclub route generally gives you a better chance of getting tickets for shows, but times have changed, for example I don't think you'd have the same advantage if they play in the O2 - aren't seats out of bounds because they are held for Premium Club members of the venue - this sort of thing and mobile phone companies having their customers get the same advantages as Fanclub members in presales makes a laugh of the whole thing...........and as the lads have said being in the Fanclub is no gaurantee that the people are real fans of the band.....

    anyway - going off topic here too much.......will be there tomorrow night too, first time to see U2 live, a mate had a spare ticket so I decided to take in the experience........enjoy it, as I'm sure you will....:D

    Why do people keep asking what the stage times are every page ??????
