QotSA 'Special' Shows [Irish date announced]

If i dont get tickets for this ill be very sad. I even wrapped it in 'b' tags to put emphasis on how sad ill be.

That goes double for when they say "oh look, we sold out, lets add another date". Both nights shall be rocked very hard by myself. I simply must get tickets.

It was In Case of Fire supporting last time, in the ambassador.

Jesus fucking christ they were shite. Did they all share the same bowl to cut their hair? I had to stand through 2 nights of their shit to watch queens. URGH!

Tomorrow morning is going to be very stressful to say the least =/

Hate to say it but I'd expect them to add a second London date which makes the chances of another Dubln one pretty slim
They're tour schedule looks pretty tight

I think tomorrow morning is our one and only chance, sick at the thoughts of it already......

And even if they don't, they're booked for Glasgow on the 20th and the Olympia's booked on the 18th for Sufjan Stevens...

Dreading tomorrow morning now!

Is there any advantage in queuing up at a Ticketmaster outlet in the morning? I'm guessing that the tickets will sell out online almost instantly, so unless each outlet has an allocated amount of tickets, I'm not sure I see any point in queuing.

Damn it anyway, I should have gone into the Omni today and asked about that, I live 2 minutes from it :eek:

AFAIK they just use an online system in the agents, and get the tickets from the same pool as the Ticketmaster website.

I remember when I bought tickets to RATM, the girl working at the TM kiosk in stephen's green didn't show up till 9:30, at which point the standing tickets were sold out. Because she was late, the manager of the branch in jervis street sent over about 12 standing tickets.

My point is, I think each branch is allocated a certain no. of tickets. (Although that gig was in the O2, I'm not taking any chances with this gig so it's online for me!)

I remember having this conversation a year or 2 ago about Oxegen tickets, so i'm sure the same applies.
The way it works is Ticketmaster outlets through out the country are allocated a certain percentage of the total tickets. And the rest is for online sale. But when the amount of tickets allocated to the stores runs out, they will say they are sold out which may not be the case online.

That's how i seem to remember it working alright

This isn't true. The kiosks use the same system as the website. Albeit a faster and more direct one. The reason Jervis could send over tickets in that example, is that they probably printed about 50 straight away first thing in the morning and had some spare. Or printed some for employees, their mates etc, and had some of them spare.

I've been wanting to see QotSA for over 10 years, and of course my Current accounts empty, so I'll have to instruct someone over the phone who's unfamiliar with the ticketmaster website how to try to get the tickets. Seriously anxious now jaesus.

Mushy

Wakey wakey everybody! The fun is only beginning.

Probably a good thing, you don't want to be rendered occupied at 0900.

Misfit Mum

StaticAge11

nxbyveromdwjpg

delta_bravo

Standing looks like its already sold. Just ran through to get more tickets as a test and it said no. That was quick!

pilot1087

no joy!

ratedR

YES ! Got 3. Happy days. Sold out quick.

Planemo

Damn, unlucky. Anyone got an extra ticket they'd like to part with?

Fidelis

9 o'clock, on the button, try to buy tickets and BAM!; "Sorry, no exact matches were found, but other tickets may still be available." Why the f*ck are people allowed to buy up to 8 tickets.

ttoppcat

Got some!!!So fricking happy as its my first time to see them:D

Pinturicchio

...and breath. Success.

Sorry to anyone who didn't get them.

Hyperbullet

2 tickets for the upper circle, wanted standing but at least I'll be there! Whats the upper circle like??

squeakyduck

8 per person seems a bit unfair for me. I'd imagine there was a load of touts for those tickets. I can't believe it sold out so fast. I can't wait now, ultimate treat after I finish my TEFL course! :P Roll on May!

Royale with Cheese

Please if anyone has a spare ticket can they sell it to me? I'm a massive fan and I missed out because of this stupid booking engine crashing on me.

Retrovertigo

Logged in at 9. First 4 seraches came up with no results so I just searched for best available seats and managed to grab 2 in the Upper Circle!

Thing is, I had seached for that and it had come up with nothing. Something broken there.
