    Haha, let the gigs be officially announced first. Say someone from Hard Rock Calling will do it. Although in saying that, last time it was Wolfmother for the tour, but Dublin got Paddy Casey for some bizarre reason.

    Didn’t someone from his band walk off during the set?

    Brutal choice as an opening act for PJ

    I suspect the concert promoters were being tight *****. Paddy Casey was an extremely bad choice as support.

    It's not listed on O2 Blueroom or PJ's site but I'm sure it will be soon.

    So PJ get same fee per gig. Odyssey is smaller than O2, so promoters make less money on this, as it is ridculously cheaper. I thought the PJ one in dublin would be the €45-€50 bracket. Paying off the debts of the venue the customers are too...beautiful!

    £41.50 = €45.80 approx. :rolleyes:

    We can assume these prices are both general admission, unless they're doing what's being done at D***d G**y's gig in the O2, which is to charge less for seats at the back of the venue than they charge for standing tickets.

    Mush if I was hittin Metallica alone I'd really consider selling the ticket - but can't let mates down.....

    as for the PJ ticket prices - something doesn't add up......
    take Peter Kay tickets as an example - Odyssey prices £38 and O2 price is 44 Euros

    so the 15 Euro difference for PJ tickets is rotten........

    If tickets go on sale Friday, then usually O2 Blueroom tickets go on sale 2 days before on the Wednesday. If that's the case, 10 Club members should get a shot at tickets the day before O2 Blueroom, which would be tomorrow so I'd imagine 10 Club will be making an announcement soonish.

    Its not as if PJ have an extravagent show to be transporting around. Something not quite right bout it.

    The reason is...insurance. It's a lot more expensive in the Republic than in the North.

    What, that makes no sense. How so? Venue Insurance or PJ's own liability?

    Its not the insurance, if anything it is promotors taking way too much money.

    MCD were in the papers a few weeks ago and expences were shown.

    JJ is right - they always wheel the insurance excuse out, and quote figures to back it up. However, I can't help but think it's just a convenient excuse 'cos they know the average disgruntled concertgoer isn't an industry expert and can't start picking holes in their story.

    Also, they used the insurance line when we had the old Point, so it doesn't change the fact that with the O2's increased capacity, ticket prices should be falling. As Mushy said earlier, this is tantamount to the consumer paying off the debts of the new venue, a venue that as yet has no car park or convenient drop-off point for wheelchair users.

    I know I've been told about the insurance think before - but is there really that much difference between Event type insurance - for example is it only Insurance related to concerts ???
    Clearly there's no huge difference with a comedy show.....but a 25% increase in the ticket price just down to insurance - seems excessive, have looked at other concerts and The Prodigy is £38 in the Odyssey and 49 here, doesnt add up really......
