Robbie Williams in the O2

argentum · 28-08-2012 8:36pm #1

I see robbie Williams is playing the O2 in three weeks with tickets only available on his website

EyesClosed · 28-08-2012 8:51pm

If you book them they will come......

Anniebell · 28-08-2012 9:24pm

All proceeds going to UNICEF & ISPCC. Registered myself earlier-fingers crossed & good luck to everyone else!

This is apparently his 'free' concert he promised in Croker 6 years ago. Understandable as it wouldn't have been feasible to do a free gig for 80,000. I suppose he himself is doing it for free and it is for charity but i'm betting his management were thinking of a way he could get the whole 'free gig in Dublin' out of the way before he does a proper tour and plays Croker or Landsdowne next year. Pretty clever really although fair play to him for actually doing this one off Dublin gig. Most major acts wouldn't have bothered. It does seem bizzare to have tickets do on sale 2 weeks before the actual gig, especially in a venue as large at the O2. Will ticketmaster really get 14,000 tickets sent out that quick?

It's a ticketless event, all people wanting to go must enter a lottery, winners get to buy a ticket.
Print the ticket off, will have names on, and ID must be shown on the night or ya don't get in

People still genuinely want to see this guy?

Yep! I'm delighted when I hear of someone who doesn't, less competition for tickets haha!

Seriously though he still has a huge fan base & we've been waiting 6 years for a solo gig.

Fair enough. I went to see him in the RDS years ago and loved it. Had a poster of him on my wall too. I thought most people grew out of him over the years.

Never knew he played the RDS, and I call myself a fan! I had many a poster too.

Going by the reaction he got in Croker last year I'm sure there's still a fair few Irish fans in the background!

I would be in America when this is on. Thats him, the view and the Ireland Oman match I will miss now.

How do you apply?

Attendance to this ticketless gig should be gold dust, but fair dues to him for announcing a one-off show I'd agree with that.

Now that I think of it, it was Lansdowne, not RDS. Sorry.

Thanks.

Applied for tickets myself, but it will be hard enough to get them if I do I will be chuffed.

Anyone who's an O2 customer can also enter the ballot by texting ROBBIE to 51020

Oh yeah that was a cracking gig! Can't believe that was 11 years ago now.

mel.b · 01-09-2012 12:06pm

I've seen RW twice in Melbourne and both were amazing. Would love to see him here in Dublin now.

Anniebell · 03-09-2012 1:06pm

Can't remember where I saw prices but I recall €35/€45 assuming the cheaper ones are standing but not 100%

I haven't received one either. But it turns out I won't be able to on the night, so if I do I'll send on a code/link.
