Yeah, was going to keep it to myself but I'm sure others would have found out. Tickets on sale this Friday.

Gonna sell out quickly?

Did they change the date and location of Electric Picnic?

First Irish show since June 2008 - hard to say how fast it will sell out.

I'm guessing 3 minutes

I think it'll be hard to get tickets for this. It's first show they've played here in years and Radiohead fans are mental. I don't think I'll be trying for tickets.

Tickets for this will be like gold dust.

I'd imagine if there were 5 gigs they'd sell out in no time. Tickets for a second gig wouldn't last much longer than the first.

Why can't other gigs be done the same?


Radiohead have announced that they will make their Irish return next year with a concert in Dublin's 3Arena.

The band will take to the stage in the venue on June 20, 2017, with tickets going on sale on Friday, November 4 at 9am.

Tickets are priced from €61.45 and there will be a ticket limit of maximum 4 per person/transaction when they go on sale.

The name of the lead attendee will be printed on each ticket and the name cannot be changed after the booking has been made. All guests in the booking must arrive at the concert at the same time and photo identification will be checked.

I'm tremendously excited for this!

While in principle it is to be admired that they are implementing those ticket restrictions its highly unlikely it will be implemented in such a large venue .

It works well in a small venue with a capacity of ~3-4k but any larger and its not really feasible.
The gig is on a Tuesday night too so you have alot of people arriving to the venue late/after work so its simply not feasible to check all those ID's .

There would be riots too if people were turned away .

MadYaker

Radiohead have done it in the past. People can't riot if they're turned away for not following rules that were clearly outlined before the gig.

It will be enforced, at the request of the band. I went to one of their gigs this summer and was checked for ID twice!

What if someone genuinely can't go and sells ticket on face value? Has to be provisions made for this as this will happen a lot.

Its already happened at a couple of gigs in 3Arena so the system is there to stop the touts

Yes they implemented it at the small venues but its simply not practical at a big arena I'm afraid.

The venue I was at wasn't exactly small.

Trust me, Radiohead are extremely passionate about this and it will be implemented.

The whole point is that tickets can't be sold on.

Tough crap, unfortunately. Looking at the bigger picture, it makes sense, because it puts touts completely off.I wish more bands would do this to be honest.

Hopefully it is implemented ,more gigs need to implement these rules.

Oh I understand and agree with the principle of it. My only worry on a personal level is that I don't manage to get a ticket at 9am on Friday and then can't buy one face value nearer to the gig date.

You'll be able to buy one but you'll have to arrange to enter the gig with the person who sold you the ticket, plus their name will have to be on it

MadYaker

But that's no good if the person who sold you the ticket isn't going

pm1977x

Can the lead attendee be a different name to that on the credit card buying the ticket? ie. Can I buy tickets for my wife and her friend and not go myself?

That would be a good system if the gig was on next week, committing 60 euro to a gig I may or may not to be able to go to in 8 months time is a bit ridiculous...

Going by past gigs where they have done this once the people attending have the card used to purchase the tickets they will get in no problem.
