Now officially listed as sold out of presale allocation.

Yellowledbetter

Just how many 10C members on here got their pre sale tix for Dublin?

b0bsquish

Got dublin presale via o2's dealio, and belfast via 10c (that was a painful 35 minutes trying to get the page to load)

Mushy

My mate told me he has 10c ticket free for Belfast, which I'm taking. Does this mean I also get into the venue earlier with the fanclub?

Yellowledbetter

I tried for an hour and a half to get tix thru 10c,I am extremely p!ssed off that i didnt get them and I now have to fork out more of my very hard earned euros to TicketMcBastard yet again.

Lots of posters on the Pearl Jam forums seemed to have the same trouble too

I got u2 tix in 3 mins thru their fan club earlier in the year,granted they were bigger venues but id imagine the demand on them was far higher too like.
And their goes the extra few hours I was planning on having in bed Friday morning too,Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

Sorry folks,rant now over!!

not me, that's for sure! soo ****ing annoyed! Spent over 2 hours hitting "refresh", got to see a buy icon a few times, but it always led to an unloadable page. raging!

NothingMan

I got dublin after about 35 mins, my connection timed out just after I put in my credit card but I checked my email and I got Order recieved confirmation. Belfast was a little easier. But a little annoying.

I know I was quite lucky looking at some of the stories here.

It's not just for pre sales either, I went to download an album from the site last week and it took 2 hours to d/l 288MB on a 10Mb connection.

They need to sort out their bandwidth issue, obviously with those slow speeds a few hundred people buying tickets at the same time would propbably blow their server up!

JJ

I didn't buy 10C tickets this time but I did buy them through the club for the last Dublin gig and it was just as bad. You'd think they would've sorted the bandwith issue by now.

Mark#1

My 10C membership expired and they never alerted me, so when I tried to log in, I didn't exist.

I'm with O2, but didn't know anything about the O2 presale deal till Wednesday morning - too late to register and take advantage.

So now my chances are at the whim of the gods (atheist sarcasm . . .). If you guys wouldn't mind hanging off till 9:10 or so tomorrow to buy your tickets, that'd be great.

Seriously, anyone know what the ticket limit per person will be tomorrow? We promised my son we'd take him to his first gig for his 10th birthday (next August, but PJ in June is close enough), so I'll need three seated tickets (me, wife & son).

I got an email this morning saying they'd heard the limit will be two?


Mark


Oh, see the world . . .

JJ

I seem to remember it was 8 during the presale but I went through the form so quickly I'm not too sure about that.

NothingMan

Ticketmaster general sale will be limited it to 8, the presale was limited to 4.

Mark#1

Yep - just found this on Ticketb@st@rd's O2 presale page:

Ticket limit of 8 per person, per transaction, per household, per credit card.O2 priority presale ticket limit is 4 per person, per transaction, per household, per credit card. Bookings over the limit will be cancelled


Mark

fluke

8 is crazy - the touts will have a field day...

Mark#1

Call me selfish, but I'll be the happiest man if I get just my three seated tickets.

Isn't there something in place to thwart touts, where the card owner has to arrive with the tickets (or something like that)?

Also, how many O2 presale tickets were there? What was the allocation? Could those buyers have bought all the seated tickets, or was there a split of seated/standing?

They only do that for the likes of Tom Waits and Miley Cyrus (what a combination, that could be some duet).

Looking at the presale Ts&Cs I found:

"O2 is allocated a broad range of seats for each event and when booking tickets customers will have the option to choose where to sit from the range of seats available as part of the priority ticket offer."

This says to me that the allocation varies from event to event.

NothingMan

o2 presale will never limit more than 15% of overall ticket sales.

However to 10c also had presale allocation so i'd say 60-70% of tickets will be available tomorrow morning.

Yellowledbetter

Any ideas or rumours as to the support acts anybody?
Its reasonable to assume it wont be Paddy Casey again anyway,maybe bring back The Fastbacks,I seem to remember them be good in 96!!

All the ticket hassle will be worth it folks,PJ are always sh!t hot live and now theirs even a decent venue here to see them too.Sound was always hit and miss in the Point IMO

Roll on 8:55am and the 22nd June!!

The next thing to do after we all get sorted with tix will be to decide where to meet up for pre show drinks,The Harbourmaster anyone!!???

Whats that? I thought it was some charity for a second, then not sure if its called Wishlist.

Sounds like a great idea, I've never heard of that charity before but I presume this is what you're talking about:

http://wishlistfoundation.org

It looks like there were parties all across the US on their last tour there.

jenizzle

That's the one. I was at 4 of them (2 last year in Seattle and 2 the year before in NY) and they were just a great way of meeting fellow obsessed peeps who travelled a long way to see PJ!

In Manchester this year there was a pre-party where a tribute band played and there were 100-200 people there just drinking. I figured we should try do the same in Dublin! It's the start of the tour, maybe a few people will be floatin' about for a few days off before touring around.

Well good luck to you all tomorrow morning - PJ rule and it's great that they still consider a small place like Ireland a valid place to bother coming to.

Shame one of my other favourites, Rush (I know - not the same music at all), don't bother their clacks coming here.

So good luck . . .

I know for a fact that sound Cellar is cash only on tickets. He does not take laser at all for any transactions. He still uses the old swipe credit card machine!

I just selected "best available" and got 3 standing tickets at 9.01am

Cannot wait until next June

grimm2005

Just got standing aswell. Checked again for anything at 9:05 and there was nothing, no seating or anything. Looks like another ac/dc lottery

missmatty

Got two seated at about 9.06, was surprised as didn't expect to get through!

Tom65

Seriously, can anyone help me? It says on my receipt ground floor standing, but one my order history page on ticketmaster it says "STAND, ROW G6, SEATS XX-XX [it gives numbers, but I'm paranoid].

Once it says stand, you're standing. The row seat stuff is just put there, but yes, you are standing, see you there!

Mine says that too but they are standing. I think they use the seat thing to keep track of tickets.
