    The fact that they can sell single a single ticket both amazes and saddens me.

    I would have thought they would only do one show. Yea id say both will struggle to sell. I can see the top tier being curtained off .

    These guys are supporting in the UK

    Don't buy tickets, just wait, leading up to the gig there will be a LOT of radio competitions flying about and also will be a lot of very cheap tickets on the likes of adverts/donedeal

    I go tickets to Kisss a few years back for 50euro a pair, same with the last GnR visit, payed 40euro for a pair

    I tend to not take any notice of bands I'm not into. I tend not to bother checking to see if they've sold out or not, and I much prefer to listen to bands I like, and maybe see if they're playing gigs in Ireland soon. :confused::confused:

    I don't like Adele, didn't even know she was playing in the 3Arena until I heard someone talk about her on the radio the day before the gig. I don't listen to her music, so I kind of missed the ads for her gig, or didn't take any notice, if you get me.

    Why worry about Nickelback, where they'll play, or to how many people they'll play to, if you don't like them?

    I don't have strong feelings for Nickelback either way, not my thing so don't pay attention. But comparing them to the biggest selling artist in the world right now is a bit of a stretch :D

    Good advice. It will likely be a curtained off gig, this is handy if they do not know how many will sell, if it does sell a lot of tickets they can open up that section if they want, so its highly unlikely that it will sell out.

    Of course Adele was sure to sell out, utterly ridiculous to compare them.

    Their wiki page might help
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickelback#Reception
    Nickelback have been criticized due to their over-use of themes involving "strippers, sex, prostitutes, drugs, sex, drinking and sex",[102] and for being derivative in the music they create, too often sticking to formula and being repetitive instead of innovative.[103][104][105] In November 2011, users of the music-oriented dating site Tastebuds.fm voted Nickelback as the number one musical turnoff, edging out Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga.[106] In May 2013, the readers of Rolling Stone magazine named Nickelback the second worst band of the 1990s, behind only Creed

    The biggest tools of the lot were the people who threw rocks at Nickelback in Portugal all those years back. Imagine paying money to go to a festival and wasting your time watching a band you don't like.
