Picked them up myself, I cannot wait. Such good recent setlists.

On seatwave perhaps. Not via Ticketmaster.

I’ve seen them on ticketmaster loads of times between now and when I got them, linking them for mates. There’s been a steady flow of seats. It’s simply not sold out.

It may not be sold out.

Tickets were simply not on sale when we were checking recently.

Weird, I saw plenty of seats. How many were you looking for? Perhaps you needed to change search to single tickets. Not ideal but there was a good few singles when I checked last month.

see that could be it, 2 tickets was what I bought. So wouldn't have seen the single options.

I’d been checking fairly regularly and they had single standing options available.

About 6 weeks ago they disappeared... something like “oops couldn’t find what you were looking for” kept appearing.

Anyway, all’s well that ends well!!

Preservation Hall Jazz Band, actually these guys

Hi,

Have to travel over from Galway & mightn't be able to leave early. What time would you expect AF to be onstage? 8 or closer to 9? The latter I think/hope.

cheers,
pa.

It is usually around 9pm for headliners, recently though a few have gone on at 8:45

For North America tour, they were onstage at 8:50pm and done around 11pm

There still seems to be plenty of availability for their European dates, managed to book standing at the O2 in Prague for E40 in June.

Great venue and lovely city. Went there for muse a few years ago.

They're rehearsing in Belfast this week.

No response from the Point on Twitter, but has anyone any indication of what time they'll be on stage at?

Stage times will only be confirmed on the day of the concert. Expect them to be on at 8:45 or 9pm.

Yep, I generally aim to be at a gig for 8.30pm. Sometimes will ask doormen when they are due on if I would rather be in the pub close by.

The only ones on earlier would be rare, the likes of springsteen playing for hours might be on earlier, or places with curfews. I think some I went to in the olympia or concert hall had intermissions and might have clearly said stage time on the tickets.

Sound. Trying to decide whether to park up at the Red Cow or park at the Point itself, so the later they come on the better really. Plus I've a seat so it's all the one.

What time would they be finishing up at anyone know? There's a bus leaving Busarus at 23:30, so not sure if I'd make that

Probably 11ish. Say you could make it.

Is there any support act announced for this gig? Can't find any information online at all.

As far as I'm aware, Preservation Hall Jazz Band are supporting them on all dates.

Looking forward to this gig, feels like a long time ago that they went on sale! It will be my first time in the 3Arena since it changed from the point. Any good pubs nearby?

Dr. Bre

Any idea what the setlist will be?
