Great news!

I noticed these dates yesterday when they were up on Noel's site for a brief moment,

Anybody have any idea how much the tickets are? €30 would be fair IMO,

Nice picture ticketmaster are using an old vintage original line up Oasis, pfft!

Never seen that mentioned anywhere, the only official confirmation before this was that the tour would start in Dublin in October, no mention of the number of nights.

Although with the gap in the dates announced so far and the demand for tickets I'd imagine there's a good chance of a 2nd date

Looking at MCD.ie, the Olympia is already booked on the Saturday so it'll be the Monday if anything.

TerryTibbs!

How much are they?

Mick Lynham, the event manager claimed this on Twitter when Noel's press conference was first announced.

He said "#oasis #Noel Gallagher will play 2 nites in the Olympia Theatre Dublin in November.U heard it from Mick first"

I wonder what are the chances are of him adding a second night or two ?

Gonna be pot luck if getttin the tickets online. Olympia holds next to nothing givin the demand there will be. Cracking venue for it all the same. I wonder is it safer to que in rain, go to ticketmaster or go to noels site. Will be gone in 5 mins either way i reckon.

I will try to buy a couple of tickets but I envisage demand similar to the QOTSA. I was lucky then but will have to see this time.

50 quid for the cheap seats is taking the piss. If he was playing the O2 then fine, due to the cost of playing there, but to be starting at that price is a bit much. Hopefully they are standing though. It's going to be very hard to get tickets come Friday. Hopefully a few dates are added.

karaokeman

I agree while Noel Gallgher is a great musician €49.50 is a bit steep for such a small venue.

I'm just hoping this will help to keep the demand down. I'm scared of how fast these tickets will sell out.

Hopefully I will be fine if I'm at the ticketmaster venue early in the morning, it worked for the RHCP:D.

Hey just wondering what Oasis songs was everyone hoping Noel would be playing for this tour.

Was listening back at past Oasis tunes and I came across all these singles with Noel on lead vocals, which he presumably may be performing;

Falling Down
Don't Look Back In Anger
Little by Little
Lord Don't Slow Me Down
She Is Love
The Importance of Being Idle
The Masterplan (not a single but Noel mentioned this song in the press conference so I think it may be a set possibility)
Where Did It All Go Wrong?

Out of this i'm guessing he will be playing all the songs from his debut album and maybe throw in 5 or so Oasis songs. This is what I would like;

1. Wonderwall (I am 90% this will be included, its Oasis' most famous tune and you couldn't do an Oasis medley without it)
2. Don't Look Back In Anger
3. Little by Little
4. The Masterplan
5. She Is Love

SB-08

It depends if he plays the whole album. There are only 10 tracks on it though. I can easily see him playing the following Oasis tunes.

Don't Look Back in Anger
Wonderwall
Whatever
Importance Of Being Idle
Talk Tonight
The Masterplan
Half The World Away
Slide Away

And maybe a cover or two including There Is A Light and it never goes out.

karaokeman

I was just thinking. I'm probably being a bit modest saying he will only do 5 Oasis songs, maybe 6-8.

Presumably he will want to play the whole album because in the press conference Noel said the Oasis songs were for extra value just so people would get their money's worth.

Considering they will be used as extra killer I could easily see all 10 tracks being played.

I could see The Importance of Being Idle and Falling Down possibly being added to what I already guessed. I couldn't see him play more than 18-20 songs but you never know with the ticket price.

Don't buy them online, go to a ticketmaster venue. Its soooooo much handier:)

Ticket limit 2 per person apparently.

This IMO does nothing to stop touting as professional touts will have their allotment reserved from their ticketmaster connections already. What it will do is double or even triple the traffic hitting the website tomorrow morning and seriously strain the thing.

That will be fine for me.

I'm planning to go solo to this one so I only need to buy one ticket really.

I only went with one friend for Oxegen and he left before Coldplay due to tiredom.

Its different being to a gig alone but its a great experience.

SB-08

Can't believe it. Was refreshing constantly and at exaxctly 9 I quickly clicked two standing tickets and it was already sold out.:eek: Tried the number straight away and it said there are no tickets left. This was at 2 minutes past 9. :rolleyes:

I will explode if he doesn't add another date. I've been waiting to see him live for so long.

xalot
