    Did anyone who ordered their tickets through the presale for Croker get their tickets in the post yet?

    Never known TM to be that efficient.

    They do now have an option to pay €5 for them to send your tickets within 5 days of purchase. Total racket.

    :eek::eek: WTF? I never seen that before, is there no end to the gouging?.
    I wonder how long it will be before they charge to print your own tickets. Feckers.

    Why on earth would that be necessary unless you were a tout and trying to sell them on? :/

    Nice warm cosy feelings of sleeping with the ticket under your pillow for 6 months?

    if you wanted to give them as a present, some would prefer it than a printed a4 sheet.

    Oh I suppose that's valid enough. I've kept a scrapbook for years with all my tickets to gigs, cinema etc but it's getting increasingly more difficult to fill in with the rise of e-tickets and those ugly a4 print outs...guess I'll just have to move with the times :P

    I would be disgusted to get a present of a ticket someone and find out they needlessly paid over the odds for it.

    I go mental if people I know buy off ticketmaster if tickets were on tickets.ie, not only since they paid over the odds, but they are supporting those scumbags and also taking away profit from the decent people.

    Yeah, I always buy tickets from the outlets instead of online if I can too so I don't have to pay their outrageous ticket charges. Got my Radiohead tickets from their own website, was delighted to avoid TM altogether!

    True but it ended up costing the same as buying from TM because the ticket prices were higher there? Either way I'm always happy not to have to deal with TM. They shouldn't be allowed to have the monopoly they currently enjoy.

    I met my buddy today who got tickets at a Ticketmaster outlet on Monday morning and he told me that the shop had no pitch tickets ,the woman working there told them all this before 9.
    Only seats available.

    Obviously alot of standing tickets were sold in the presale ,some were sold online on Monday and the rest were funneled off for drip selling on Seatwave.

    1. The Red Hill Group were not able to buy pitch tickets despite being eligible to buy a day earlier than wires.

    I got pitch tickets with no hassle on Wednesday.
    Pitch 1 tickets or Pitch 2 tickets?
    My understanding was most couldn't get Pitch 2 on the Wednesday...

    Pitch 1 tickets were easy to get Wed and Thursday but Pitch 2 were extremely difficult.
    I got 3 but had to get them as single tickets and they were only available for a few minutes around 10.30 on the Thursday.
    I only got them because someone on here mentioned it .

    Its my belief though that very few Pitch 2 tickets were released in either the presale or general sale .
    They will most likely be released nearer July when they actually know what capacity Pitch 1 and 2 are.

    In all the news reports where they showed fans queueing in person, every time they flashed their tickets they were all pitch 2. Maybe the kiosks had printed their allocations and got first dibs on pitch 2.

    I got two pitch 2 tickets on Monday on the TM app at 9.01 so they were there alright.

    Anybody else buy tickets for Rome? Any idea when they might be posted? I thought I would get mine within a week but they still have not arrived.

    Got pitch 2 on Wednesday. I'd guess most of Pitch 2 was sold on Wednesday, with the remaining sold on Thursday, and was only Pitch 1 left for the general sale.

    2. The Pitch tickets were not on sale at 9am for Wires. Luckily I got some but only by randomly logging on for a hail mary attempt at 10.30.

    3. The biggest fcuk up of all? The Red Zone tickets (the main reason a lot of people subscribe) were available to ANYONE on the Wednesday, no pre-sale code needed.

    Part of me can't help but think number three was a deliberate 'mistake' on Ticketmaster's part to drive insane demand for RZ on Seatwave.

    I don't know how anyone can call the above 'being looked after'.

    What percentage of tickets going to fan club would you say would constitute " looking after fan club " ?

    Rodgers has been shown up here on the big stage as a rat. A nothing player. Full of handy fluff. Hasn't done it on the big stage since he won the ring.

    I got pitch 2 in the general sale so they were there.

    Am I right in saying that none of the tickets are credit card entry this time? So as long as you have tickets in hand when you arrive at Croke Park, there will be no need for credit cards or ID checks?
