Another humongous cock up ,it seems the London gig link went live at 10am and didnt require anyone to enter a code to buy for about the first 20 minutes!
Absolute farce .

Damn. I was looking at the Manchester ones. Didn't think of checking London.

For the JT tour when I went on Ticketmaster with my presale code I noticed that there was an option to buy the tickets and the subscription simultaneously which saved the need to subscribe in advance without guaranteeing tickets. Decided not to renew this year and going to hope that's the case this time around too. I think tickets will be more plentiful too as they will probably have 3-4 shows on.

How will there be more tickets in 3 arena vs Croke park? Would need 6 shows to equal one in croker.

It was only €34.21 for me to renew. It's €50 when buying it with the tickets.

Last time they played 3arena I was very surprised at the amount of tickets which came available at a later time on Ticketmaster once the initial frenzy died down on day 1 of sales.
I went to 2 of the 3 nights they played in Dublin and got tickets 1-2 weeks before the event .


Is it going to be the same ticket sales this time where you need the credit card of the ticket buyer to access the event ?

I managed to get Pitch 2 (closer to the stage) at around 10:30am on the day of general release.

They didn't do the credit card thing at Croker?

Standing for the announced European gigs are standard tickets ,they are not credit card entry .
It remains to be seen if Dublin will be the same.

Isn't this delay, for the Dublin gigs, because the 3 is not a proper arena? Wrong shape? So stage has to be changed. Should have sorted that when it was refurbished or is it not big enough anyway?

I'm really thinking of heading over to Manchester for the Friday night gig. Makes a weekend out of it. Accommodation prices are going up already though.

Do you guys know if the price will go up if I wait?

In what way? Face value tickets will stay the same price but they will sell out.

No one even knows if it is The Point yet.

Although, where else is there?

Jesus! The price of the tickets on the secondary sites already:mad:

Very expensive for the category 1 seats ,similar to the US .
Explains why they are only playing the wealthiest cities in Western Europe ,not sure other markets would be willing to pay those prices.

The 3 arena is a brilliant venue ,its a super theatre fan shaped format and it was specifically designed that way unlike normal bowl shaped arenas.
It handled the stage just fine last time (albeit with a few small modifications).
I saw the show in a normal bowl shaped arena too and the Dublin shows were much better.
Its a much more compact and intimate venue .
The longest distance from the stage in 3Arena is 60 metres as opposed to 95–110 metres at a traditionally designed Arena.

I saw the Elevation tour in Manchester in 2001 ,its a good venue but big ,unless you have a good seat or get into standing early ,your view wont be great.

Yes I also got tickets near to the gigs I spent my presale on the Belfast gig. Also got a ticket from a boardsie from the concert thread at the time! So ended up going to 2 in 3 arena as well

Has to be the point
but the delay doesn't make sense, they are going with a similar set up to I&E so they understand and know the constraints already and how to overcome them as best as possible.

i'd love to know the official word on why both Dublin & Belfast haven't yet been announced

Can anyone remember how long after the Irish shows (I&E) went on sale last time around

Don’t count Belfast out they got the full stage last time and the venue is better than 3 arena. I felt the atmosphere/sound in 3 arena is lost by the vast space empty under the stands. U don’t normally notice this but with the stage covering the whole middle of the floor I really noticed it.

Mostly speculative tickets ,i.e they dont exist.
Should be outlawed to list tickets without listing section and row ,its technically illegal in the UK but the resale sites flout it.
The prices will drop alot once all the presales and general sales is over .
Extra dates to be added too.
