Hang on you couldn't get in a few minutes ago There must still be some left then?

"We're experiencing high demand. You will be automatically directed to the page requested as soon as it becomes available. Thank you for your patience."
Had this message for about 5 minutes even though I clicked on "Find Tickets" the second it became available.

Not to worry though - just got 2 standing for Sunday night :-)

Yeah i wasnt able to get in for a while then it loaded for me.

leahyl

Just talking to a work colleague there and she said her friend was trying to get tickets for the Sat but that they all seemed to be sold out. She got them for the Sunday instead. It has to be Saturday for me though. Ah well, roll on Monday!

Finally got in but as I already suspected - all standing tickets for Sat gone :-( Ah well!

Site crashed at 8 58 for me lol. Got nothing.

It probably doesn't help that Fleetwood Mac tickets are also on sale at the same time.

So much for having "priority"

JJ

There's only a small percentage of tickets available for priority sales and O2 do make it clear that they don't guarantee tickets for all people who request a priority code.

I had a night shift till 5am got 3 hours kip and got up to get these tickets for my partner whose had a very tough time recently. Clicked exactly at 9am and waited only to find out they're sold out. Sickening to be honest.

If that's pre sale and Priority and they sold out that fast then maybe I'm better off biting the bullet and shelling out €175 on one of the tout sites now before the price increases further.

Gutted. Is there a point in still trying? Doesnt say sold out yet! It loaded for a minute or two for me but then when i got into the page there was no place to select tickets just the details of creating account. Keep refreshing but its the same thing. Suppose that means there gone :-( Dont hold out much hope for monday now either.

leahyl

I reckon Monday will be ok - it might take some time but you should get them if you're online at 9 (I'm hopeful anyway!)

Expecting the worst, hoping for the best i suppose.
Also, is the best thing to do is enter site at bout ten to? I thought that might go against you but i see thats whats some people did. I clicked on at exactly 9. Maybe the trick is to get in earlier and keep refreshing??

Nah they're gone. Her page didn't open for me until 9:04. They will go fast monday

Aw that's really nice of you. Don't worry, I'm sure you will be luckier on Monday Fingers crossed for me too!

Also, is queuing up on Monday at Stephen's Green a silly idea? How early should I get there at? I just hate buying them online!!

I have no idea - I don't normally go to concerts to be honest! The last one I went to was 2 and half years ago (Michael Buble) so I'm not sure of the 'procedure'!

Did any of you find tickets by going to o2.ie/music & following the link on there? I'm just wondering because I had one tab open straight to the Beyonce link on Ticketmaster but it stayed on that stupid refreshing red circle thing & on another tab I followed the link from o2 and that one found tickets for me.

Sinead Mc1

Oh i dunno! Gonna log in at five to on monday and please god i get em! Besta luck everyone!!!

I dont think there's any point doing that because as far as I know they only print off a few (like max 5) and then after that they just buy them off the site like everyone else. I rang Centra templebar this morn to ask about buying tickets and they say they just have the machine and you go onto the website there. I suppose it's worth a shot though if you were really desperate!!

Unless you are going to be the 1st in the queue, then buying from the outlets isn't as good as being online. All the tickets are bought from the same pile, so if your behind, say, 5 people in the queue, it will probably sell out by the time it gets to you.


Best chance is have this page open a bit before 9am: (also, make sure your signed into your TM account with details incl cc filled out). Make sure you know your Verified By Visa password.

http://www.ticketmaster.ie/event/18004A45AED75126?artistid=894191&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=202 (sat)

or

http://www.ticketmaster.ie/event/18004A45AED95128?artistid=894191&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=202 (sun)

Do not refresh before 9am, there is no point.

Have this site open so you can see exactly when its 9am http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_IE.aspx

Just after it turns 9am, click refresh and then you will be able to select your tickets!

Thank you very much for this information - it is really helpful.

I went to www.o2.ie/music at 9.00am and took me until 9.10am for the website to give me an option to buy tickets Got two seating tickets for Sunday night. to be honest, thought all the tickets would be sold out within a couple of minutes.

if anybody was thinking of going into Ticketmaster to purchase the tickets, i would recommed Celtic Note on Nassau Street, not sure if they still do, but it might be worth calling them to find out.

I guess that's the way I'll be trying to get priority tickets in future then!

Maire2009

Why isn't she playing the Aviva

Say will be lucky to get tickets on Monday - will give it a shot anyway.

Grrr.. It's really annoying that the 02 priority booking ads for Beyonce are still being shown on the telly tonight!!!

Majorly Fcuked up. Thought the pre-sale was Monday and now I cannot seem to buy the tickets online. I have the pre-sale code and I haven't read that they are sold out so does anyone have any pointers for me?!

Got my tickets this morn through priority for the Saturday concert and checked straight after to see if the priority tickets had sold out and they did so they're probably all gone for both nights. Best bet is to try Monday morning.
