A very different seating plan to the one that appeared for this gig on the .co.uk site earlier yesterday morning, which depicted three standing areas on the pitch. This does nothing to help my intense dislike for both Aiken and TM... There are more than enough seats in the Aviva without forcing more on people who would like to stand and have fun!

Billy's gigs in Wembley and Germany last year were all seated so I kind of expected the same for Dublin.
Personally I detest an all seated concert .

I'm in two minds about this gig ,I'd prefer to see him indoors ,I was sick when he visited in 2013 and couldn't go .
Might see if I can get a good seat Monday morning if not I will hold off till closer the date for a production seat.

His gig at Croker was all seated too.

Just wondering why people are saying they will hold off closer to the time to get better seats? What are production seats?
Excuse the lack of knowledge.

Production seats or tickets are wit-held from sale to facilitate the band or singer's production set up.They might need camera's,lights or sound equipment to go in a certain area so they might need the space.This is why certain tickets for unused area's go on sale in the last minute.

Yeah ,and they also hold back alot of the better seats for corporate ,Vip's,hospitality packs,platinum tickets etc.

Seats are also released closer to the event when the exact stage size and position is known so seats nearer the stage at the side can be sold .

Not going for the €140 **** that I'll try for the cheaper options and if I get offered the €70 ones I'll take it

Ferry.Man · 08-10-2017 2:28pm

Thanks for advice think I'll wait until closer to the concert and see what available as it surely wont sell out?

2morrows allocation may sell out and they will post all that ' show completely sold out' stuff but ticket drops will prob happen from time too time over the next few months. If we really want a ticket I'd advise try and sorted 2morrow just for peace of mind

Looking at recent setlists he doesn't change much per night and does all the hits. Many a car journey i had with the essential Billy Joel on with the family

I'd say that there will be loads of tickets floating around for this close to the gig ,most below face value .

smurf492 · 08-10-2017 6:13pm

I see platinum seats on ticketmaster for 360 euro

Billy played Croke Park back in 2006 and it was only half full, so there was no atmosphere. he then went to the three arena a few years ago and it was a more suitable venue. He never has standing at his gigs nowadays so it's all seated.

Reading over this I was thinking of getting the tickets as a Christmas present but would it be better to hold off or what's the opinions?

EyesClosed · 09-10-2017 8:58am

On the searching for tickets sit tight stage

PTH2009 · 09-10-2017 9:04am

Got in easy enough on the app

The cheap tickets were for section 517 Row V but went for price level 2 and got a ticket for Section 505 Row G (€107.85)

Managed to get through, got pitch tickets for a hundred quid each. How is the ticketmaster website still such a freaking mess though? Good luck to everyone

There's no ticks available in the half of the field closest to the stage. Lots of section 505/506 in the upper half. Even when I searched Premium was offered 311 which was literally the furthest section from the stage. Reckon they're trying to pull a fast one and offload the crap tickets first.

Think I'm going to sit this one out for now.
