The Who: Quadrophenia in Dublin and Belfast

delbertgrady

The Who perform Quadrophenia in its entirety, with a "selection of Who classics".
Dublin 02, Saturday, 8th June and Belfast Odyssey, Monday, 10th June.
Tickets for both shows on sale this Friday, 1st February.

From the Odyssey mailing list: "THE WHO, one of rock's legendary and defining bands, has announced an Irish and UK arena tour where they'll perform their iconic 1973 double album QUADROPHENIA in its entirety, along with a selection of WHO classics. 10-date Ireland and UK tour features founding members ROGER DALTREY and PETE TOWNSHEND, who will be joined by Zak Starkey (drums), Pino Palladino (bass), Simon Townshend (guitar/backing vocals), John Corey (keyboards), Loren Gold (keyboards/backing vocals) and Frank Simes (musical director, keyboards/backing vocals)".

The US shows got phenomenal reviews, so these are bound to sell like jellied eels to Mods.

Ticketmaster.ie shows tickets from €69.50 - €89.50.

Would love to see them but when you factor in TM fee's its sure is pricey.

I think it is.

Vintage Trouble are the support

fyi, seated tickets are €70 to €90 (plus the usual ticketmaster fee if you buy online). I ended up getting the €90 ones, figure it'll probs be the last time they play, or close to it so might as well go all out.

Kerplunk124

96 is ridiculous but it might be the last chance to see them

I had a look (the other day, using a presale code) at where the different priced seats were.
The €70 tickets were on the upper tier on the 2 outer blocks (Shíte seats)
The €80 tickets were on the upper tier on the 2nd block in from the edge (Shíte seats)
With the €90 (€96 with booking fee) seats, everywhere else!!!!

I wonder if that's how the general sale seats were too?

I think so, I originally asked for €80 tickets but they gave me block P, so said fúck it, ill try best available and pay the extra tenner and I got block E, 13th row which is infinitely better and in my eyes anyway, worth the extra tenner for a band who most certainly won't be around much longer.

Still, a lot more reasonable than the £400 the rolling stones were asking for their London show

Why all seated? rock concert should have some standing section.

+1, I'm in my mid-twenties and love the Who and will be there, would prefer to stand but what can ya do and half the Who is better then no Who, it'd be easier to complain if the other half were alive

Got tickets for this too. I went for the most expensive ones, Even though most blocks seems to be the most expensive which crazy tbh. 1st row and very back row all €90. But anyways the show will be great. Daltrey is sounding great this tour. And it'll be great to see Townshend back again after missing him from the Tommy tour. There will be loads of younf people there I'd say. First time I seen them I was 16. Quad is one of my favourite albums too. A great little documentary about the album made last year, well worth watching.

That really is a fantastic documentary

Getting close now, Really looking forward to this. Listening to the 5.1 surround mix of some songs from the directors cut boxset out last year, it sounds fantastic.

i'd take them if still available.

also...looking for a ticket for a mate that wont be too far from the stage....anywhere to middle of the floor really.

ticketmaster tickets are sending him right up in the crows nest.

Does anyone know what time the Who come on and what time they finish?

coolegrain

ok...so i bought 2 tickets last night from a previous poster on this thread...row 3 seats 63 / 64 (pete townshends side of the stage)

i only needed 1 ticket but got these 2 as i didnt want to take the chance not getting floor seating tickets if i waited.

sods law...today...on a who forum theres 1 ticket at face value available.

so....i will resell these two for what i paid (191.20) - providing that the other one listed on the forum is stall available.

thanks
