    Deadly.
    Was just saying yesterday, if they're coming back anywhere indoors within flying distance, I'm going..
    The rain at forbidden fruit put a bit of a dampener on things - can't wait for this!

    ****, nearly fell over when I saw this on FB.

    What is the best method to increase chances of tickets? I think I might go down and queue up at the Opera house? Is this allowed. I missed tickets for The National trying online but Bon Iver are probably my favourite act of all time.

    Wait, do people think it'll be very hard to get tickets for this so? I absolutely need to get my hands on them! They were incredible at Forbidden Fruit.

    Ugh. I kind of don't want to think of the possibility that I won't get tickets I suppose. I mean I was shocked that the Monday of Forbidden Fruit wasn't sold out considering how huge their fanbase is.

    Tickets to the National went smoothly for me, but I heard others had an awful time, I'd advise try get signed up for any presales you can find

    OH online system really is a lottery and not the best in dealing with High traffic .... National was a complete disaster for me . So mad ; Was in the queue but never got accepted in - picks people completely at random regardless of wait time and at that you might think you are in and get told Sold out once you ready to transact.

    Worth checking to see if they doing over counter sales - might be your best bet but tickets for this for sure will be in high demand.

    On another note am so impressed with OH and getting these 2 big names that weekend - its great to see gigs like this getting to Cork !

    This is not news I want to hear, but thanks for the heads up. Might ring the opera house tomorrow and ask about over the counter sales. I'd absolutely love to get tickets, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

    How many tickets are actually being sold? I'm guessing the OH can't hold too many people.

    I rang the OH today and was told that the tickets will be sold online, over the counter or by phone - does anyone have any experience of ringing them to buy tickets? I'd be a bit worried that the phone line would be insanely busy. I'm not from Cork so I don't think I'll be able to go to buy them at the box office itself!

    Tried calling them for the National. Phone was off the hook, I think. No luck.

    I take it that Bon Iver are playing in Cork due to the friendship with The National/Aaron Dessner? I doubt there will be futher shows announced for Ireland?

    Think id swap my EP tickets for tickets both Bon Iver and The National in Cork!

    The site is absolute rubbish.
    I got through pretty quickly but when I try to select standing tickets it says I need to enter a code .
    Seating is sold out .

    My guy was trundling along the queue bar nicely but stuck around half way saying "The queue is paused" for a while now.

    Seated now showing Sold Out

    This is so annoying. I am still in the queue, and I tried ringing but the phone lines are off the hook from what I can tell.

    Will I even be able to get tickets, if seating is sold out and I don't have a code for the standing tickets?

    Seating was all gone.

    For future reference, they started the phone queue at 9:59 - I was ringing from 9:50

    I just checked and the queue is back moving again so you might still have luck with the online sales!
