elton john 3 arena

delbertgrady

I got the seventh row of Block D for the second night. Delighted with that. I nearly pulled the trigger on one in Block E for the first night, but it was further back than what I got, and the second show was announced before I bought it, so that worked out fine.

30-5-1998, 28-5-2006, 1-6-2007, 9-7-2007, 6-6-2009, 15-12-2010, 28-6-2011, 9-12-2014, 13-6-2019

Agreed the tickets are very expensive but if you are a fan and he puts on a good show i think is worth it. I went to see Phil Collins last year in the aviva at 130 a ticket and it was well worth the money. Couldn't get any tickets for the 3 arena so decided to buy some for Munich!

I'd say there will be more €96 tickets rolled out over the next few months, no way am I paying €156+ , i'll sit tight and be patient with this, fingers crosssed for Paul Simon tickets next week .....ahem.....

2nd gig and the 1st one isn't sold out yet :rolleyes:.
Noticed there were no €96 tickets for the Thursday night either.

I dont see how it is worth it ,his tickets were half the price last year in the Marquee in Cork which is half the capacity of the 3arena.
163 euro to sit up in the rafters for this tour is extortion.

Its a scandalous cash grab and whats more the concerts are 18 months away .

Is €156 not the cheapest? Or are they just the cheapest left?

Exclamation Marc

If you look at the VIP tickets available, they scale up to 875 per ticket. No way will these sell, and they'll end up back on the market close to the gig.

There are 3 types of tickets available, leaving out the exclusive VIP shiney programme type of tickets

€181, €156 and €96

And there was probably only 2 tickets at €96 considering some tickets at €181 are up in the gods as well!

T/M have over a year to try and sell it out anyway.

I love Elton and I've seen him 6 times. I have seen him twice in the 3 arena and the prices were a fraction of this tour. I'm going to have to pass as I don't know where I will be in the world in June 2019!! Very frustrating.

omega666

Plenty of tickets still on sale on ticket master for 156 and 181euro if anyone wants them.

Mike Guide 69

156 for Wednesday now seem to be gone

It's definitely the most expensive ticket I've ever bought. I think we can expect this to be on a par with The Red Piano when it comes to production levels, though, which may explain the increased cost, but the "American model" of VIP packages and pricing is definitely creeping in now in earnest.

but the "American model" of VIP packages

That's what a "booming" economy brings :rolleyes:.

Zardoz

There is a new covers album out of some of Eltons songs .
The songs are covered by some famous people.
Most of the covers are brutal but Tiny Dancer by Florence and the Machine is quite beautiful.

Anyone know if the gig on sale Friday is sitting only or includes standing?

It's a fully seated gig.

JohnCreedon81

Find it amazing that they can sell tickets for a gig that is over 2 years away. Surely breaching some sort of ruling. If there's no ruling, there should be!

Its outrageous really.

For his London gigs AXS are rolling out their flash seats ticket type.
Makes it hard to resell the ticket if your plans change in the next 2 years which it will for alot of people.

I'm guessing this is the Elton John FYBR tour thread

Anyway he's back in action tonight in the states and has a massive year ahead with gigs all over the States and Europe both Arenas and Stadiums

Looking forward to hopefully seeing him in Cork in July after having tickets for the postponed 3Arena gigs since 2020

Beasty

1982, probably 7 or 8 quid:

1984, £9.50;

1985 £25, but they did throw the likes of Queen, Bowie, the Who, McCartney and a few others in:

2019 .... well let me just say inflation had taken hold of Elton by 2019:

Let's see what 2022 (Swansea) and 2023 (Glasgow) brings....4///6

PTH2009

Nice of sir Elton to not include a warm up act to his Cork show

Stadium opening at 6pm now

fafy

Thousands still left unsold for Cork gig, and its been onsale for almost 9 months, they will never shift them at those ridiculous prices.

PTH2009

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118895192#Comment_118895192

Yeah and then having no support act is not helping things

Those VIP packages are some rip off too

fafy

Standing, beyond the halfway line, so way way back, costs €103, someone really got this, totally wrong.

It was 106 for Paul Simon, and they put 2 **** off towers in the way, inevitably enough people have bought tickets to justify the prices, since it's only the terrible seats at the back available.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118895211#Comment_118895211

People need to stop saying rip off for "advertised price that people are free to buy or not"

PTH2009

Nice owl documentary on the way

It's anyones guess when this tour (ie his concert career) will actually end

Atm last date is 8th July 2023 in Stockholm Sweden. If I was to guess I'd say a show in Wembley Stadium that summer to 'end it'
