    So does this mean if I get two tickets Friday, I can't sell them on if I can't end up going? If the gig was next month fair enough but a Tuesday in June next year?
    Obviously I'm not a tout but things can happen.... and on the other side of it does it also mean I can't buy two tickets on done deal or whatever coming up to the gig?

    Yep, pretty much. I wonder will this turn some people off from getting tickets?

    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...

    I know in the UK there is a ticket resale site called Twickets which often partners with bands to resell tickets with restrictions at face value.

    If I was buying tickets, that would be the last place I'd be going.

    That doesn't mean that the person buying is (a) using them himself or (b) not selling them on at inflated prices.
    Only way of making sure if to get people to collect them at the gig only.

    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.
    Rubbish from Radiohead trying to restrict the market based on their moral principles. Pathetic. I was seriously considering buying two tickets for this gig and acting as a tout. Turned off now upon reading this. Obviously wouldn't go see them as they haven't made decent music since the start of the millennium.

    But that's half the problem.

    People buy tickets and say "sure if I can't go I'll just sell them on".

    If you're that bothered about the gig, you have plenty of time to clear your schedule that evening.

    There was a big Hoo-ha about this for the U2 gigs last November too, but they didn't enforce it. Same venue.

    Don't think they were strict with regards id but I'm almost certain I had to swipe my debit card on way in, could b wrong though

    Yeah, U2 had "paperless tickets", you had to swipe your bank card going in.

    Which is not quite the same as what Radiohead are doing, this will require staff at the Point to be checking tickets versus photo ID, making sure all people on the booking are coming in together etc etc. There's a fair chance they won't bother...

    There might have been some paperless tickets, but they were mostly hard copy. And transferable, with no ID check

    Any chance of Three doing their own pre-sale for this? They're constantly bombarding me with pre-sale offers for crap I have no interest in so would be nice for a change if it was someone decent - the last three pre-sale 'exclusives':

    It's not always within a person's control, unfortunately. People can't clear illness or bereavement from their schedule.

    Or some of us simply don't know if we'll be able to afford to go in 8 months time.. it's grand dishing out sixty euro for a ticket but if you're from outside Dublin it's not as simple as just wandering in on the luas..

    Yes U2 had credit card entry for the standing area ,you had to swipe the card used to buy the tickets .
    ID was supposedly also required but not implemented.

    Its a pretty good system but touts can get around this by buying tickets using prepaid credit cards or meeting the buyer on the night and swiping them in (alot of hassle).

    Radiohead have used the lead name booker ID system in the UK for smaller venues and it has been implemented .
    I still dont see this working in a large venue ,others like Adele ,RHCP have used this system in the past and it hasnt actually been implemented .

    I dont think the touts will take a chance with Radiohead though so that should help fans get tickets .

    Do they really need to put these tickets on sale now though ,i.e 7 months in advance ,its a bit ridiculous .
    I like what Garth Brooks does in the US ,he announces and puts tickets onsale a few weeks in advance ,he also uses paperless ticketing.
    This is the best system in my opinion.

    If I suffered a bereavement, the last thing I would give a sh*t about is my Radiohead ticket.

    If people are worried about it, Ticketmaster provide Missed Event Insurance for precisely this sort of occurrence.
    <cue torrent of boards.ie outrage over the existence of this product>

    But the point is - everyone knows about this up front.

    If you don't think you can make it, don't buy a ticket. This happened with the U2 gigs, all these muppets ringing Joe Duffy complaining that, 'ah sure Joe it was only after I bought the tickets that I realised it's me niece's christening that day, and could I not sell the tickets on, sure what's the harm?'

    In my experience the main reason people end up not being able to go to concerts is because whoever they arranged to go with cancels and they don't want to go on their own.
