Does anyone know if ticketmaster use verified by visa? Don't want to be suddenly confronted with that damn thing if I'm trying to buy tickets in a hurry...

They do, but they hold the tickets for you while you do it. I think you've got about 7 minutes to sort it out before they release the tickets again.

Has anyone ever won tickets from Phantom? Won Avenged Sevenfold tickets off Phantom 105.2 back in May. The concert is 3rd of December and still no sign of them. Getting a little anxious :P

I won tickets from them once and I picked them up from their office. They're located at Marconi House on Digges Lane. When I walked in, I spoke to the security guy and he had me write down my name and the details of the tickets I won, then he went upstairs and got them.

Does anyone know if I'd ok bringing a bridge camera into the O2? It's not an SLR.

A professional photog friend said that The O2 can be fairly strict about picture taking matters and bridge cameras still look like the kind of cameras you need accreditation for.

They have no issue with compact digial cameras from my experience, I've been to the O2 nearly 8+ times and always bring mine, this problem is the douche bag with the SLR and the 14 inch lens sitting on your shoulder the whole night ignoring the bouncer telling him to put the ****ing thing away.

You have hit the grey area though since the Bridge Camera has a detachable lens if I recall? Personally I'd chance bringing it in, as I mentioned already they seem to only ask you to put it away if they have an issue with the camera, as long as you resect that then there really should be no issue.

Does anyone know if you need to print tickets from ticket master or can they just scan the pdf straight from your phone?

Going to the o2 tonight and forgot to print tickets in work, thanks.

I needn't have worried - they never searched me and even then there were loads of people around with SLRs.

I've never had to be there early to get parking (I'd be going to the cinema on nights when stuff is on in the o2). You should be fine at any time.

However, you can prebook your parking here http://www.ticketmaster.ie/point-village-carpark-cheerios-childline-dublin-11-20-2013/event/18004B3BB14B2ABC?artistid=1453681&majorcatid=10005&minorcatid=0. There is a ticketmaster charge. If you don't "prebook" you can just pay 10e on the night (so its cheaper)

Great! Thanks a million!

...I'm not sure If I am allowed ask this, if not then mods I apologise...
...I am going to be getting tickets for jeff dunham for next april. They go on sale on Saturday morning, but the 02 priority tickets go on sale on thrusday morning. Would there be anyone that has it that could get me a code or get them, I would be happy to pay extra. My girlfriend would love these, but she really wants to be as close as possible, and I figure priority tickets would be closer...
...Thanks...
...Liam...

JJ

Priority tickets aren't always closer but usually if you're quick on the draw, you might get good seats.

I was looking at booking tickets for the Bord Gais theatre and I'm being charged €5.65 through ticketmaster. Is my only option to get fleeced or can I buy them there at the venue?

Can anyone recommend an Irish travel agent that does festival packages, along the lines of Planet Festival in the UK?

Im thinking of attempting to buy tickets to Garth Brooks in the morning and im planning to buy online, but how long does it take for the tickets to arrive in the post. I know you can select express delivery but that costs extra.

Anytime up to a week before the concert starts. So anytime until around the 20th of July.

you can save them as a pdf and print them at your leisure

re sale value on ebay though is not as good for printed out tickets as real ones I suppose

Hello all,

Just wondering would it be possible to sneak down to standing fron the seats or are they very strict ? )

Cheers.

What gig?

At the Hardwell gig 100s jumped the barrier. Not near enough staff to stop them.

iwannadrive

Rudimental tomorrow night

Last minute decision to go so had to take what I could get ticket wise but being in standing would be way better

Sure I'll try anyway

ciaranf92

Best way to do it is wait until the lights go off for the support act and jump over quickly.

There's usually only 15-20 staff on the floor anyway. Just position yourself between 2 and jump over the barrier (about 3 foot high).
If you're quick you won't be spotted at all. If you are spotted, theres no chance they'll chase after you anyway!

Have fun!
