Its up on Seatwave now for 242.90 euro plus fees :mad:

That's just scummy. Hope they get stuck with it.

B-But I thought FG's Noel "Rocky" Rock was gonna do away with Seatwave by last Paddy's day?

It really is insane. I know a lad who would be a big enough fan but got over €1k on seatwave for 2 tickets to the last Dublin show. I slagged him off but he essentially paid for a holiday with that!

There was a seat available in the lower Cusack on Ticketmaster think it was row Q, but it was a bit too steep for me, prices €196.25. Think i'll hold out for a pitch ticket if any becomes available....

seems someone thinks its a legit post -and sure why not, if the bit about hiding in the toilets was left out it would read like it was plausible.

I've pitch 1 tickets for Saturday but hard to know what to say when you hear there's 400 already in that queue. I don't know if I want to laugh or cry. Suppose it's at least good to know

Even if people queue overnight Friday (If you fly in Friday or if you work) there's basically no chance of a rail. You're at best looking at a few rows out or behind red zone.

As someone who's done it many times down the years I respect those who queue and earn their spot but I also Kind of feel a bit sorry if I'm honest for people flying in, starting to queue on Friday - typically that would earn you a rail in other venues. At least people reading this will know what to expect now. Wow.

It's gonna be an amazing gig no matter where on the pitch you end up. It's a different show in different spots is all.

I wondered what was meant by this poster

In Ireland some peoples approach to 'queuing' can be different to say the least

-it is their approach which is different from any definition of queuing I ever heard of.

Wooderson

Whoever mentioned upthread that this show seems to be very "word of mouth led" for tickets was spot on. Theres not many knockin' around that I'm aware of.

The band have dropped a bollick putting on one show.

OK, so 2 people clearly saw the joke, but then this fella

Somehow I don't think this will be the last. Wait til our friends across the Atlantic start waking up to the news that there are 400 in the queue already!

Era the band couldn't care less .
They could have added extra gigs in Ireland if they really wanted to ,the Aviva ,Pairc Ui Chaoimh .
Pairc Ui Chaoimh is opening this weekend ,just in time ,it would have been a nice touch to play there .

They seem to have prioritised the Us for the tour ,they added secondary cities to the tour in the US like Kansas,Buffalo,New Orleans and they are struggling to shift tickets for them,certain sections will have to be covered off or tickets prices slashed nearer the gig ,they did this for Pittsburgh ,all upper seats were reduced to 35 dollars.

In contrast to that they are only playing a paltry 12 concerts for the whole of Europe .

OK so maybe I was over estimating the 400.

I'm no. 1... who wants no 2

You'll only get into the pit area if you have a pit ticket.

Or a pit wristband I'd imagine





So what colour will they be in Dublin I wonder ?

Seve OB

So any warm up pre shows on?

We are getting the train in from Castleknock so planning to meet up in Quinns with the others beforehand

I got a yellow band in London. I was in Stadium shortly after doors opened but hung around having a few beers and only went to pitch after Noel started is set.

As I mentioned before, when I was wandering around, It looked like there was no pit at all and I did get quite close to stage, so I'm not sure if maybe there was a pit after all cause i did see those blue bands posted for London.

If there was no segregation why the seperate colours and I also read about some people even getting in before official door opening

innuendo141

Na, there was no pit in London. I went for a wander for a while after getting onto the pitch (mainly scoping out how my obstructed seats MAY look on Saturday) and after around 30 minutes of arsing around, I found a spot adjacent to the B stage around 20 feet away happy out.

bleedin bogball........ the only thing that's good for is it gave us 3/4 of a stadium to host U2 concerts

Kinda getting worried how about this queue! Have pitch 2 tickets so would like to get a spot near the tree like I did at twickenham! I can queue from about lunchtime Saturday but not sure whether the other 2 I am going with will queue that early! Probably not even worth it if so many in queue already :eek:

Again, and I don't want to be banging on about it, you're only getting the wristband with a Pitch 2 ticket. No matter what time you arrive at.

what colour band did you get? what time did you go in at? were you at Twick 1 or 2?

Yup, the blue lads were the ones that got in at 4.30 on the dot.

I was at Twick 2, and went in pretty much when they opened the gates after the blue lads went in. I got myself a yellow one.

Croke Park has 2 different ticketed areas.

2 different entry points.

And you cannot go from one area to the other.

This ain't Twickenham. It's the Dublin way and it has been like this all Summer for the big gigs.

Early 4.30 entry is all, I think. The red zone lads had a separate entrance. I was in the queue around 4 and a woman was roaring "unless youve got a blue band youre not getting in at 4.30" Ive no idea who or how these blue band people got them

i'm well aware.

so why bother give everyone a wristband in london? Now what I reckon is, people have mates in the stands. they go on the pitch and then bring out a pitch ticket of another friend to bring their stand mates into the pitch.

but by scanning the first time you go in, the ticket is now registered and cant be used again. by giving you a wristband, will allow you re-access though for when you go out to jacks etc.

Therefore I imagine everyone on pitch will get some kind of a wristband

ah so they must have got their bands outside while queing rather than on pitch entry after going through the gates like we did.

i think i read about 1,000 people or so

Wooderson

Any Pitch1 folks going to have a punt at the queue for the front pit?

johnpatrick81

Doubtful, not guaranteed and will probably have a fight to get my mates in for just before Noel at best.

Going by the safety diagram it's clear Pitch 2 has a separate entry so there might not even be the chance to upgrade
