How strict are Croker about the pitch? I remember at Bruce at RDS a few years ago, several friends had seating tickets and were able to come onto the pitch no bother. I assume Croke Park is a different ball game, but last gig I was there at was U2 years ago.

Reckon they will be pretty strict for health and safety reasons, certain capacity for the pitch etc. For Nowlan park even early when the people were just arriving, from what a noticed they wouldn't let people with pitch standing tickets walk down the stand and hop the barrier, they had to go behind stand to the correct entrance.

Both gigs sold out now.

Let's start a campaign for five nights at Croker? I don't see what could go wrong!

Loads of standing tickets on seatwave now for 175 euro (excluding their mammoth booking fee). :mad:

Queued up online before 9am for lower Cusack or Hogan, wait went from 8 minutes to 16, back to 9 etc, 25 minutes later got offered upper 725 tickets, I declined... Website on phone keeps refreshing and then going back to selection screen. Don't give up lads there's two Upper 725 seats still on Ticketmaster!

Same here, then almost had pitch standing & for some reason i got knocked out :mad::mad::mad:

Looked for pitch tickets, they offered two for the upper Davin stand instead, didn't take them, disappointed.

I thought too far away

Got 6 for Sunday, so that's the gang sorted, I'm didn't know people who search for 6 are at a disadvantage? A lad at work here searched for two AFTER I put in a search for 6 and he got his first.

Also AIB need to fcuk off with their verification I could have done without the extra password to remember.

I used to get stuck on that page, but if you have the password remembered for other log-ins, you can just click on it, but i forgot the Ad blocker, as it was I'm stuck on that page for ages, as it said for the last 20m,

"We are currently..."

I went in again & got the same thing & got Sunday Upp Hogan Stand Upp 733, i suppose a lot cheaper than the €133 i had waiting!

At least i'm going & only artist worth the price

Only Davin Stand left now

Btw: What's this i see at bottom of page?

For people who have tickets but not what they want, don't panic. Over the next few months people will be looking for different things, situations will change etc so you may be able to swap. Let the chaos settle down first.

Yeah but it's sold out, in a 'not actually sold out' kind of way.

JIdontknow

Tickets still available on ticketmaster, just saw 1 for Sunday- lower 331 row K on which would be on half way and a decent ticket.

Checkout

setlist.fm .... has the setlist from the US leg of the River Tour (going on at the moment)

http://www.setlist.fm/search?query=bruce+springsteen&year=2016


As pointed out its the full River Album plus about 10 of his crowd pleasers.

Noticeably he seems to have dropped 'Born in the USA' from the setlist but there's still some great stiff in there


Should still be epic.

Just had a wee snoop on Adverts, Gumtree etc to see what things were like. Tout ****s out in force already.

Wow, logged on for friday sold out app crashed. Been very busy so just saw on boards (thanks everybody) Sunday gig. Went hmm when are they going on sale.

Most of those ads with people selling at face value are scammers I'd imagine
Hardly any feedback .
I'd always be wary of anyone willing to sell a ticket so soon for face value.

I saw one with tickets at 275 with a face value of 245.

In theory the websites work like that (adverts at least) but I guess there'll always be something slipping through the cracks.

For people asking there is absolutely no chance you will get on to the pitch unless you have a standing ticket.

It was only listening to TodayFM, that i knew there was a second concert & one of the staff had tweeted it for €600 :mad:

Although what crazy captchas were these, i didn't see them thank god!

Aiken promotions say it's sold out now, although maybe just a few dear one's left to fend for themselves!

What's a bandwagoner for a music gig, never heard anything so ridiculous.

Somebody referred to by a long standing fan who doesn't like the idea of a newer fan going along to a gig to see their sacred artist?

Ah come one who don't like the Boss

Ticketmaster threw up seats in Blocks 327, 322, 315 and 310 and I turned them all down. There was no way I was paying €137 to sit that far away from the stage.

I sat in the Lower Davin Stand for U2 in 2005 and it was a waste of time. Poor sound, poor view and too far removed from the action. I went again the following night and sat in the lower cusack in it was a completely different experience.

I kept plugging away today and eventually got Block 304 lower Cusack Stand for the Sunday night.

That's what I assume it's meant to be, and I agree with the previous poster that it's absolute horse****.

"I've loved Bruce for longer than you and therefore feel as if I'm entitled to tickets ahead of you" is a pathetic attitude to have, rather then applauding the incredible pulling power of The Boss to continuously draw in new fans, especially younger ones.

Re paying above face value for tickets on second hand sites, it may only be a small premium but it's still a premium and this is what enables touts to thrive.

stop animal cruelty

I got two aearong bit would prefer standing... Sunday...if anyone wants to swap drop a pm ðŸ‘

around what time you get those seats?

Who bought the CD at the checkout?

I was surprised it was only a greatest hits on offer and not "The River"

It was only €6.99 so I went for it. Probably have all the songs anyway through all the albums, but I can give it to the missus for her car.

Adverts does not allow the sale of tickets over face value. It's strictly face value + any TM fees or less. If any slip through, just click report. They are removed in double quick time.
