Yeah all gone it seems, my connection died when I was in the first queue so I had to restart at about 10 past 9.

Ah cack. Thanks.

Sold out quickly, as I predicted.
And to think some people were going to hang on to January cos there would be tickets left!

Ticketmaster's system rarely acknowledges things are completely sold out. This seems to be because tickets that aren't generally available such as tickets reserved for the handicapped and their helpers are in the system as still available.

I honestly thought you were way off on this so fair play. However I wouldn't be surprised if Ticketmaster find a whole bunch of tickets under a couch the month before this shows up, the secondary market tanks as a result and there are plenty of tickets looking for owners on the run up to the day. It seems to be a very consistent pattern for anything with a large capacity these days. Anyone panicing and throwing money at touts for tickets now will be regretting it come the day.

I was walking to work when I saw the queue outside St Stephen's Green. Forgot the tickets were on sale today. Said f*ck it, joined the queue and happened to get the very last two tickets! Up in the gods opposite the stage, better than nothing.

Cannot understand why those utter c*nts Ticketmaster would allow someone to buy 8 tickets.

Sold out in under 20mins.

Who says there's no money in Ireland, eh?

HighLine

Says it's sold out here - http://www.independent.ie/entertainment/music/music-news/acdc-tickets-for-dublin-gig-sold-out-in-minutes-30844092.html

Anyone know the capacity of the Aviva for concerts?

twin_beacon

Logged onto tickermaster at 8:30, had the got the confirmation email at 9:06 for my standing tickets

NIMAN

Thing thats more annoying, if its sold out, why in God's name are Ticketmaster letting people waste their time going through the process of trying to get tickets, only to tell them they can't fulfil the requirement?

@Toast, yeah its almost guaranteed there will be another release of tickets for it in a few months time, or else a 2nd date.

Hopefully more will go on sale closer to the date.

In the region of 55,000 depending on stage and lighting set up on the pitch!

Here''s something to bear in mind.

I think that the folk who have Aviva season tickets are entitled to an option on their seat.
Much like Croke Park.

These seats will be released once those options are not taken.

Id go to the the UK and see them rather than pay that price!

Aviva don't have season ticket holders, the FAI does.

I would highly doubt this is the case, I've never heard of it before.

I logged on to ticketb@stard's UK site at 10.40 and was able to pick up three standing tickets for Glasgow, no problem at all. I was on the Irish site at 9.00am and got nothing until about 9.40, when it offered me a couple of seats on the roof of Lansdowne Road. I passed on those, load of me hole!

And people say that 1D and Bieber fans pay too much for tickets. Can't believe that sold out so close to xmas. Good luck to everyone going but I couldn't ever justify that expense regardless of who played!!

They usually do that with the sort of 'not-sold-out-at-all-but-sounds-better-to-say-it's-sold-out-to-drum-up-some-reluctant-sales' gigs, like say Kings of Leon at Slane, stuff that was still on sale for hours, or the 5th night of Garth Brooks.

I don't see more going on sale when the event was gone completely in minutes, unfortunately.

So disappointed not to get a ticket,the queue at Ticketmaster in Cork wasn't even that long.......and even more sickening to see the touts at it already.......b**tards!!!!! Fingers crossed that more will be released or even better(although unlikely) a 2nd date will be added!!!!

frash

How long does it take to pack up & move a stage roughly?

They're playing Glasgow on the Sunday before & Wembley on the Saturday after

endainoz

got tickets for wembley, pitch standing, will be an amazing gig but kinda sickened about having to pay for flights and accommodation now! Still, itll be an amazing gig!

10 yr ticket holders had the option to buy yesterday, limited to 2 tickets in most cases. I imagine tickets that were not taken yesterday got thrown back into the pot for this morning.

I had 3 tickets for standing. clicked to buy and website cr@pped itself and put me back to the waiting list. Got 2 tickets in upper tier sect 525 eventually. better than nothing

blastman

Sold out "in minutes"

I have to laugh at the last twitter comment shown, I think the exact opposite, because evidence from touting sites shows that a not inconsiderable percentage of the tickets have likely been bought by profiteering w@nkers rather than genuine fans. Celtic Tiger mentality returns = no hope for the country.

Do I sound bitter?

ssaye2

A lot of singles appearing near the front rows in south upper so pretty far away but may suit some - every 5th search in firefox I got a chance to purchase in the last 15 mins - have been checking since 9

I wasn't hanging on until January by choice. Unable to afford it was the reason. What recession?

Not much, I actually didn't bother taking upper tier tickets when they were eventually offered to me.

Usually there's two or three stages.
One being taken down one being used and one been put up. Or maybe just 2 one being used and one been taken down/put up
