    Surely the Olympia is a little small?..

    Didn't they play the 02 the last time?

    Quite the step down from the O2. Enjoyed the show there, so wouldn't mind popping along again. No word on pricing yet, is there? Nothing up on Ticketmaster, but its Facebook post says tickets go on sale Friday.

    🤪

    Ya those venues apart from Royal Albert Hall are all under 2,500 cap, Tour is even dubbed "Tour One" which certainly suggests this is purposely to showcase new album and Arenas or Festivals will be further down the line.

    They just released a new song has 80s early 90s Indie pop influence.

    If you've streamed what they think is enough of an artist you'll be mailed code supposedly.

    Seems stupid rewarding people who opted to stream over you know buying the music.

    "Sorry, no tickets from venue currently...
    Many fans are shopping and some may have let their tickets go. You can try again or change quantity or ticket type."

    Is all I'm getting :(

    One or two might pop up, but only occasionally when someone hasn't paid in time it looks like..

    Apart from that all gone at 9:02

    Luckily, for those of us who missed out, Ticketmaster is informing that tickets can be bought from Seatwave from €144 up. Grrr...

    🤪



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,032 ✭✭✭xpletiv


    Seatwave should be illegal. Disgraceful service from Ticketmaster yet again.

    Seatwave isn't the problem.
    If the tickets werebt on seatwave they'd be on viagogo/et all, or being sold outside the venue

    Supply and demand exists, especially for gigs like this..
    the seatwave tickets came from the presale..
    At least with seatwave you know it's a genuine ticket..

    It's disgraceful but it's always/will continue to always, happen


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,032 ✭✭✭xpletiv


    Oh, Seatwave soooo is a problem. This seems to happen with every single gig now. They do nothing to combat it cause it makes them $$$$$$. BIG $$$$$$. One service charge for the sale, and then again for the resale.

    But it's not searwaves/ticketmaster a fault that 1. People are greedy and want to make profit
    & 2. People will pay the extortionate prices on them..

    Capitalism and people are the issue here..


  • Registered Users Posts: 14 Chimera88


    It should be illegal to resell for profit, that way people who genuinely can't go can sell for face value, it's been that way in football for a long time now in the UK and it'd be such a simple solution to a problem. You might get a few opportunistic touts outside, of course but that's very different from the massive industry of Seatwave/Viagogo. But there's money to be made and that's the problem, it's become an industry.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,032 ✭✭✭xpletiv


    I find it hard to believe that it was totally sold out at 9.01, which it seemed to be. Has to be bots buying... only thing i can think of that actually makes sense.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,022 ✭✭✭Peter File


    A band that could fill the olympia each night for a week was always going to be an instant sell out. Tickets were also apart from the circle tickets very reasonable. I was surprised that it wasn't a ticketless concert
