Can you buy 02 presale tickets from a ticketmaster booth if you have the code with you or do you have to do it through the blueroom?? Can you go directly to ticketmaster.ie and enter your code or do you have to go through the 02 website?? Thanks! :)

Hi, i was wondering if anyone knew what time (roughly) bands do their soundchecks if they are playing the Olympia? The reason i ask is when the Manic Street Preachers are playing in a few weeks i was gonna chance my arm and see if i could get them to sign a cd for me when they would be going in for soundcheck

Most bands will do a soundcheck between 5-6, arriving at the venue anytime after 4.30

I got a ticket sent in the Post, but I was wondering if the automatic email confirmation from Ticketmaster, printed out, would suffice for entry instead.

Thanks in advance.

No. What's the stop you using the email to get in and then you giving your real ticket to get in for free.

Unless you used the "Print your own ticket" option when purchasing, you have to wait for the real deal to come in the post, I'm afraid.

I was thinking about going to a concert in Whelans and I just noticed that on Ticketmaster, it seems to be sold out. Well when I say sold out, it keeps letting you search for tickets like a fool rather than just telling you there are none available.

Anyway from what I can see, there is something called Wav Tickets which seems to be a part of Whelans. Is it possible they still have tickets or would it be the case that once Ticketmaster are sold out, that's it completely sold out?

No you won't be asked for I.D. that matches the name on the ticket.

From what I heard this behaviour is because there are tickets marked as pending release in the system. This is usually the case when tickets are pegged as reserved for the promoter/artist or tickets reserved for people with disabilities and their companions. The promoter/artist tickets usually get released back into the system if they aren't claimed by a certain time.

My son has special needs and would need a seat at The Academy, I would imagine all the tickets on ticketmaster are standing.
I've tried to contact The Acacemy but have had no luck. Any suggestions please?

As far as im aware there is no lift in the Academy so he would have to walk up stairs. If that is ok then contact continue to contact the Academy and they will give you a VIP band. This will give you access to the balcony, which is quite empty for gigs, and im sure they will provide you with a chair as well.

Theres no point in ringing if there isnt gig on that night it is usually closed.

Plenty of on-street parking in the area. Just read the signs and pay accordingly.

Looks like €2.90 per hour but it may be free after 19.00. I haven't been in that area for a while.
The pay and display hours are not on the Dublin City Council site.

You might get a better response on the Dublin City forum

Often times the balcony at the Academy is reserved for guestlist only though.

Hi, I have just booked two tickets for a gig in the olympia. C13 and C14 stalls. Just wondering - will there be a good view of the stage from here or will they be abit too close and too low? Should I have picked say G13 and 14? Thanks
