    Agree with ya there man..Reckon the reason this sold so quick was people lookin for affordable christmas presents..Slane Prices are out of reach if your spending €20-€50 on a friend or relation..

    If theyve any sense they will announce change of location to The Point and release the tickets next friday.

    Hope so? MCD and sense don't go together. Think it would have to have a pretty decent support for the 02?

    Will there be any Meet and Greet Packages available for either gig????

    You can always show up at the stage door around 3-4pm when they're doing soundcheck.

    I'd say Slash will meet fans as he did so for Vicar Street last time.

    I don't actually blame the touts, they've seen the opportunity and are making a living, i don't like them, i just don't blame them.

    Who i do blame is promotors, allowing stupid amounts of tickets to be bought by 1 person (8 in this case) and not insisting on checks at venues etc (only some gigs they do)

    Yeah true. Promoters only care about money.

    There'll be nothing done about touts as long as the promoters are the biggest touts.

    Just seen 3 tickets for this gig on adverts at cost price so you'd never know your luck.

    If there is a demand for a third date, then I hope MCD have a rare moment of sensibility, and move it to a bigger venue!?

    FWIW, I checked the Sound Cellar for tickets on Christmas Eve (no luck, though!) and Tommy reckoned there might well be a third date added. Here's hoping...

    If there's that much demand for a 3rd date, then I reckon it'll be shifted to a bigger venue..........?

    If gigs are sold out, why the f**k doesn't ticketmaster write SOLD OUT in great big letters across the event page!!!!!??? You can still open the event page for the Slash gigs!!??:confused:

    Methinks their webmaster is a goon.

    And your dead right too shame on people who fill touts pockets , I would without doubt miss one of my favourite acts/arrange to see them in another country than buy a ticket off someone who had no intention of going to the gig just took tickets away from some true fan just to make a quick buck.

    I knew that it was about touts, but it is not my fault that the gig is so small, and I absolutely love GNR and I have to see Slash ! :P so I just dont care if I overpaid, they should not allow people to buy 8 ticket at one go . that is the problem, not a die hard fan who is ready to pay extra to see a legend onec in his life time :)

    cheers,

    and btw, it were very last tickets available for sunday, I saw very very few tickets available to buy on other websites for that gig, so dont think there is too much touts trading these tickets.
