    Has anyone else bought tickets for this from "SEE TICKETS" ? Or even any other ticket vendors??

    They're trusted in the UK, but the tickets for this event got delayed and it's causing a problem.

    Interesting. I have had a issue with them for this event. Got an email saying they were dispatched on the 4th of December, turns out they weren't sent out until the 9th. As of yesterday I hadn't received them so I emailed them, and a duplicate set will be at the box office in the O2 from 6pm on the day (Was a standard auto-reply email so I'm very cautious about it)

    Only problem is, I bought 4 tickets and I'm arriving late, but the 3 other people are going to be there at doors opening. And the email says only I can collect the tickets as I'm the card holder. Quietly hoping it won't be a monumental mess as I absolutely cannot get there before 8pm on the day.

    EDIT: By the way, do you have a source for that delay story? I'd like to see it as I have to ring them today and have a 'discussion' :D

    Also as an update to my previous post, See Tickets were awesome to deal with and merely changed the name on the booking so my friend can collect them. Couldn't fault the service.

    Well, Calvin is getting an hour and 20 mins, so if Tiesto got the same slot time, thats 11.05pm, which would sit nicely with a 11pm curfew.

    Or, by some chance they had an extension and he got a 2 hours slot, thats 11.45 for a 12pm curfew. Either way, its going to be finished before 12 I guess.

    This is my 11th time to see tiesto I've never seen him play less than a 3hr set when he's the headliner id say curfew is 12 at the earliest..I seen him twice in the O2 one finished at 11 and the other time it was 12

    Last time he didn't have as much support, I think on the Kaliedoscope Tour it was one (Virtual Vault if I remember correctly) and it was a Friday night. Time before was Ballinalough and that was Cosmic Gate supporting (Obviously no curfew there) I saw him at United in Nice (2009) and he played after David Guetta for only 90 mins or so. It was actually pretty funny as most of the French crowd left after Guetta :pac: All the major festivals have seen a huge reduction in set times, just look at the likes of Ultra and Tomorrowland.

    So a less than 2 hour set is not off the cards. That said we're all guessing. If I was gambling, I'd say 11pm finish.

    Do you have a source for that? I checked MCD and can't see anything about it. That would mean Tiesto is playing 45 mins?!

    I only seen it on a FB page that is promoting the Pete tong after party it says the after party starts at 11 in the wright venue and the show in the O2 finishes at 10:30..there's no a chance of a headlining dj to play less than 90 mins

    Not arguing with yourself or the link, but I call shenanigans on that. 45 mins would be an utter joke for Tiesto to play for. Basically 10 tracks or so! I think an 11pm finish is more realistic.

    How much does the O2 hold for such standing events? ... I was there too years back for Tiesto and from what I can remember it wasn't overly packed at all and could have held a good bit more.

    Ok, i laughed, even though i hate that music

    Scotch EDM superstar Calvin Harris has today announced that he is to pull out of tomorrow’s eagerly awaited show in Dublin’s O2 Arena due to illness.

    Unfortunately for Harris fans, this will also mean that he will miss the entirety of the Greater Than mini tour, which kicks off tonight in Belfast’s Odyssey Arena and finishes on Monday in Glasgow via Dublin, London and Manchester.

    Harris made the announcement earlier today on his official Facebook profile, “Unfortunately due to illness I’m not going to be able to play my upcoming Greater Than shows in Belfast, Dublin, London, Manchester and Glasgow. Really sorry to all of you guys who had tickets. We’re already working on getting back to all of these places in 2014.”

    While Harris has not divulged the extent of his illness, it is believed that is is suffering from Acute Testicular Discomfort, after a source close to the DJ revealed that he had ‘a pain in his bollocks with touring.’

    Event organisers, MCD, were quick to respond to the announcement with news of an ambitious replacement. John Spencer, a spokesperson for the promotional company, spoke about the upcoming show, “We’re disappointed with Calvin’s decision to pull out of the show but there is very little we can do when it comes to illness, it’s just one of those things.”

    “We are however delighted to announce that we will be replacing Calvin Harris with a brand new, state of the art, sixteen gigabyte USB stick,” he enthusiastically explained. “Calvin has agreed to copy and paste the pre-recorded set he has thrown together for the tour straight onto the USB storage device,” added Mr. Spencer.

    “So apart from the improved stage presence and charisma that the USB stick obviously brings to the table, the show will hardly be affected at all,” he assured.

    Harris, pictured above ruining a show by forcing his self involved opinions on the audience, has filled the remaining fourteen gigabytes free space on the USB stick with retorts, should any of the crowd feel the need to question his mixing capabilities or track selection.

    Early reports of MCD raising ticket prices to facilitate the USB stick’s involvement have been quashed, with the company instead offering a full refund to the parents of all twenty six known Calvin Harris fans in Ireland.

    I'd say he'll overrun til 11:15. 1h30 set, i get the feeling as headliner 1:15 is too short, about 10 songs for him
