Is it not a bit strange there has been no announcement from the promoters or the GAA nor is it on ticket master website but the indo are advertising it

Noel McHale (promoter with MCD) confirmed it on his twitter account in the past hour.

The new music is sh!t but they still put on a good show. I've seen them a bunch of times and the setlists they play these days don't interest me but id say it'll be a good night.

Saw them at Oxegen in 2011 and they were incredible. Promised myself I would buy a ticket the next time they come back to Ireland, although my interest has dropped a little bit since then. €70 isn't too bad. Can anyone who is familiar with Croke Park gigs shed any light on whether the standing tickets will be the ones for €69.50 or is it usually the seated tickets that are cheaper and the standing more expensive? Probably one of few acts who are big enough to play in Croker that I would have an interest in seeing.

even at the height of their popularity they never played a gig this big I don't think?

Did they sell out shows before in Ireland?

Richie kavanagh could sell out Croke Park lol

People will to be Croke Park regardless of who's playing there tbh. It's a good night out

Wasn't there last headline show Phoenix Park in 09/10 ? Not sure if it sold out but suppose they have gotten even bigger since then especially with the last 2 or 3 albums

Could one of the Mod's now change the Thread Title seeing as this is confirmed.

It really annoys me that this is going on sale 9 months before the gig. IMO there should be a 6 month max between the sale date and the gig. Even less! Festivals fair enough, but this....I dunno.

What difference does it make?

If anything, it's helpful for people. They get the opportunity to plan ahead. Get hotels sorted, book time off work while allowing people but a few quid aside over the coming months to cover costs (especially for those who need to travel and stay in Dublin because it's a bloody expensive weekend all things considered).

Personally, I like knowing well in advance. At least if family or friends give me a call over the coming months trying to plan something for that weekend, I can stop myself for being "double booked" so to speak.

Lets just say I don't have a lot of disposable income right now

It would be ideal if they announced the gig, so we can do the planning bit, and then put the tickets on sale at a later time, closer to the date. I'd rather the money was in my pocket rather than sitting in MCD or whoever's bank account.

There doesn't seem to be a pre sale. There is a lot of buzz for this, can see it selling fast and probably crashing ticketmaster on Friday.

Tickets are from €59.50 - €144.00 plus fees according to Ticketmaster .
€70 euro will be the crap seats ,standing will be ~100 I'd guess.

144 euro plus fees for an outdoor gig ,that must be a record high.
Its outrageous to be honest ,Coldplay are well past their best but it doesnt surprise me as the ticket prices on the US leg were outrageous too.

They do have all those lightbands to pay for!

It is a great show though - saw it in Manchester in June. Not sure I'll be forking out another €100 for this though.

They may be well past it in terms of the quality of their recent albums but their live show is one of the best going at the moment. They are one of the biggest bands in the world hence the price.

Yea i watched their Glastonbury their set and was really impressed and that was without the whole production.

Videos I saw of the gigs look amazing tbh but other things have to take prefrence both time and moneywise next July

Mr.H

What is everyone on about? Their latest album is brilliant!

Coldplay will sell out easily.

As for the 1d being bigger than them......... just wow

Which would be a bigger headline for Glastonbury? Easily coldplay

Agreed. This will sell out easily.

From what I'm seeing on my social media feeds, there is alot of hype about this and people already planning on ticket strategy for Friday.

Personally, I prefer the older stuff but enjoy the new stuff. Always put on an amazing live show. I haven't seen them since 2011 so looking forward to this gig.

A summer Saturday night at Croker with these boys as the entertainment has all the makings of a very memorable night.

that is 69.50, and will have 6.10 fees on top if ordering online.

Of course coldplay would be more likely to headline glastonbury, for obvious reasons, pointless comment, disney on ice and pantomimes are also unlikely to headline glastonbury!

It doesn't mean would sell out more nights in croke park, I am not sure who would, but think it would be close enough and imagine the difference would certainly not warrany a "wow"

Does anyone know if standing be more expensive usually or seated? Also is there a presale for this?

Top deck of stands up in the gods will be cheapest.
Standing will be about €90/€100 I'd say.

There are pre-sale links on the Coldplay website to some of the gigs, but none for Dublin. All on general sale Friday morning by the looks of things.

And looking at the prices across Europe ,Dublin has by far the highest ticket prices at 144.50.:mad:

You wouldnt even mind but Croker is the biggest venue they will play on the tour yet the ticket prices are the highest so not only will they have the highest ticket prices but also the highest gross.

A: Standing tickets (Sold Out) cost €104.00,
Gold Circle (Sold Out) cost €114.00 and
seats prices range from €49.50 to €144
