Caught by the balls it would seem

I took a few screenshots this morning of Seatwave/TM antics.

Let's not jump to conclusions here. I've just flicked through cruhoortwunk's previous posts and he just has a genuine interest in gigs that sell out or might sell out. Every man needs a hobby.

I have never used the site but was interested enough to do some digging around on it.
I noticed that if you go to post a dummy listing it tells you previous sales prices and also shows actually numbers of tickets up for sale.

Awky Mo Mo.

Vedder only has two short solo albums, so it won't take you long to catch up in that regard. The first is the soundtrack to Into the Wild and the other is a selection of songs based around the ukulele. Neither was particularly well received although l love Into the Wild. I'd actually recommend watching the film as well because it really adds to your appreciation of the album.

Pearl Jam is where it gets tricky. They're 10 albums deep. I'm sure a bit of Googling will tell you what albums he draws from most in his solo shows but you can't go wrong with their debut, Ten, or even their two-disc best of, Rearviewmirror (re-issued at The Essential Pearl Jam).

Thanks so much for the info.

I've seen and love the movie so I'd be casually aware of his work on that.

I'll just dive right into Pearl Jam so.

Does the process of entering a dummy listing provide you with suggested prices? '€345' sounds fairly specific and exactly in line with what was being offered by people genuinely selling tickets.

So you decided to post not one but TWO dummy listings to check previous sales? Your listing are very specific also and in line with the market prices. I'm not buying it.

Perhaps he works in sales, like me. Whenever I post dummy listings I always find myself offering them for €9.99.

Some tickets back on sale guys. Not the best seats but.

Seatwave is not shrouded in mystery, promoters allocate a certain percentage of tickets for viagogo and Seatwave these days.

They can sometimes be the best seats in the house for example in the Bord Gais arena the tout sites will always seem to have the front rows.

Put the kettle on for this eye opener

Whatever about individual touts - might be a discussion for another time? If Ticketmaster themselves are shipping tickets directly from 'general sale' to Seatwave (possibly 'selling' them to Seatwave to make it a cleaner transaction), that's where we should focus, right?

Really want to get a larger discussion going about this. Do you think it's worth emailing/calling our local TDs and seeing if the attention of our politicians can be engaged?

Anyone know if their are any tickets left in Cork?

Hendrickp

Looks like they're gone already for Dublin. I was able to get Block A and G seats about 5 minutes ago but they were right in the corner so not ideal. I'd say keep trying throughout the day as more might become available

Surely couldn't be dumb enough to put that up as a screenshot and not notice their own tickets showing on the webpage.

No worries. I'm just glad somebody on here got a face value ticket instead of that disgrace that is Seatwave.

BlazingSaddler

I just got 2 tickets very easily on TM at 12.30.

Many thanks! Just picked up two for my brother there. He's nearly in tears and sends his gratitude!

Noel Rock has been vocal about Seatwave of late, he previously claimed he'd have it shut by next week.

Might be worth dropping him a quick message with more ammo.

Dispatches went undercover to investigate viagogo in the U.K. The practice is the same here with seatwave.
This is actually appalling

i just managed to buy 2 tickets for dublin !!!!!

So, Block G and flat seating. Clearly not the best but still lucky to get them. Anyway, I'm trying to visualise the layout. I've never seen flat seating in there before. It is a standing area, then surrounded by section of flat seating? How would that work? I appreciate they're not great seats but surely you don't have to stand up in your seat to look over the crowd.

Block G is tiered seating .
Flat seating is simply called Flat Seating ,no blocks in it.

If its flat seating in Dublin there are no standing tickets, So flat seating in the front then tiered after
