anyone here think its a bit much that there hasnt been a seating plan for this event? it sort of looks at this stage that we will be buying tickets without a clue where they are and such. i emailed ticketmaster the other day asking if they were going to provide a seating plan and they said they were waiting for the rds to get back to them, i personally think this is very bad management to not publish a plan for people to see where they are booking, but should i expect anything else from ticketmaster?

Surely its bad arranging by the RDS, and not ticketmaster. But yes i do agree, considering some tix are €80, you would want to be fairly sure of a good seat. Its quite possible that the €80 tickest could be on the floor 10 rows back, while the €30 tickets are raised etc.

Looks like we will have to gamble a bit. Im aiming for €55 anyways.

Agreed, I cant seem to understand how they can sell/allocate a certain number of tickets at each price if they do not know the seating arrangment. For example say there are 5000 80 euro tickets sold but after confirming the seating arrangment the realise that they only have a seating plan for 4000 in this area, this would mean 1000 people could be sitting in a reduced price area but have paid for a more expensive ticket. It seems very strange, and first time I have seen it, where they can sell tickets without knowing the exact seating plan - how will they allocate blocks, rows and seats if they dont know ?

Yeah that is extremely poor organisation on the RDS's part. It shows a lack of professionalism. They know they will sell all of the tickets no matter what so I reckon thats why they are so relaxed about organising the seats. What would happen if they sold too many tickets for the event? Could be a possibility.

they might have to make the ring smaller to make room

There would be a freakin' riot, thats what!

Anyway, for those who are travelling, Jurys in Ballsbridge have a decent enough rate for triple rooms - €159 per room per night incl breakfast and parking. Plus AFAIK thats where the wrestlers have stayed the last few times!!! We are booked up anyways.

Now for the tickets.
