    A fully seated gig in the national concert hall in Febuary. €24 is a steal too. No mention of who might play with him (Bright Eyes, Mystic Vally Band, Desaparecidos). I saw him in Germany with bright eyes in Summer 2011 and that was by no means a seated afair, it will be interesting to see what it's like.

    Gotta say this is an excellent venue choice, fair play to the promoters.

    A seated venue with no drink allowed in the auditorium means you won't get the usual stream of bar-trippers pushing in and out. It'll be quiet which should suit the songs, and it's a venue scalpers don't bother with in general so genuine fans have a decent chance of getting tickets. I'm not pushed about this gig as I haven't listened to Oberst in years, but I'd imagine for a lot of people (if Oberst is on form) this could be gig of the year.

    Very reasonable ticket price too.

    letting as many fans as possible know about this as possible is important, dont want to see the touts make a killing. Can't wait for this gig

    I've been listening to his music for 7 years now without ever getting the chance to see him live so really looking forward to this. It used to drive me nuts that he only ever seemed to play festivals in this country.

    I emailed them about it, no reply yet, I will post it asap
    Can't wait to see him play again

    I swore I would boycott him (gigs and new albums) forever after he cancelled his Belfast gig a fews back after getting a more lucrative festival gig in Scotland.
    Intend to stick to that. Shame really, as I used to be really into his stuff.

    The git.

    Which browsers does this website actually work in because both Opera and IE 9 aren't going anywhere. Currently trying Chrome.

    never ever use IE ever for anything

    I find general rule of the thumb with ticket sites is they make it work with IE and then everything else is an afterthought. Seat selection was broke in Opera so I tried with IE and that didn't give me the fields for card details when I selected Visa. Chrome seems to be working but the site is taking a long time to respond.

    Edit: nope sales payment failed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,202 ✭✭✭maximoose


    Hope tickets last 'til Friday, would def like to see this :)

    Im getting payment failed as well. Trying firefox and chrome. Id say the site is over loaded!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,453 ✭✭✭EyesClosed


    I don't wanna lose my seats


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,829 ✭✭✭Toast


    Communication timeout now. Right well I'm giving up. Might be better luck phoning the Box Office but I've to get to work. Doubt they'll be gone by the end of the day if the website is in the state it is in.

    Failed in firefox and IE, a lot of tickets seem to be gone though looking at the map of venue. Lots of folk complaining on their fb page.

    Got through on the phone, finally! The guy said that they would hold seats for me! (row E) and call back later when they would be able to process the payments(he better!!)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,453 ✭✭✭EyesClosed


    They eventually contacted me through Facebook and rang me, The person on the phone was very helpful, it's all sorted just have to wait for the payment to be processed


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,304 ✭✭✭oneofakind32

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,453 ✭✭✭EyesClosed
