2023 Irish Gigs (Confirmed & Rumoured Events)

What is the capacity of the Aviva for concerts? I’ve been reading comments about ‘dynamic pricing’ that ticketmaster are using - should be illegal. Pure and utter price gouging.

I doubt she'd play there after the last sh1t show. I wouldn't be surprised if she played Belfast and skipped down here all together after the last one

With it not being until next summer there's bound to be people who drop out cos of illness, holiday plans etc. Could be production holds released lot closer to the gig too. Hope you get sorted! :)

The Def Lepp/Crue tour first euro date looks to have been leaked Bramall Lane, Sheffield in late May.

There are big gaps in their 2023 schedule, there is a 2 week empty gap in Mid June, and the current schedule end on July 20th.

i’d agree, they are very likely to play here, 2 nights minimum in Croke Park.

I get that, and I cant complain I got 4 free tickets from MCD.... although her cheque was unaffected, it has to hurt your ego when you're playing 3 nights to 3/4 of a stadium and no doubt 1/2 of those tickets where free!!

On a side note she did a great show, id buy tickets to her this time around if they aren't extortionately priced like the last time round.

it was, beyond a guarantee a stadium act takes % of sales after agreed costs.

The reason is money. For some people paying 200+ per ticket might be too pricey in september, but ok as a christmas present. And what about London? Theres no London date, do you think they will skip it too?

Look at some of the gigs in the past: the rolling stones in croker, there was no irish date when it was announced, because they were negotiating it with gaa, cos the max number of gigs was reached (thanks Taylor Swift). Robbie Williams with Olly Murs in Aviva, same thing, no irish date. Too many big stars announced their gigs just before Christmas, once Christmas was gone and other acts sold out all their tickets, they announced the date.

If they announced Coldplay first and I managed to get the tickets, I wouldn't spend more money on Arctic Monkeys, possibly Taylor Swift for my daughter and missus, p!nk(???) And possibly others. But if they drip-feed acts one at the time... Different story

Yes her tickets were expensive. Ticketmaster came up with the verified fan idea and ran it as a pilot with Swift for her concerts. I’ve just splashed out on two standing tickets for Bruce Springsteen for relatives that are more expensive that Taylor’s tickets were and they’re only for standing. At least at Taylor in 2018 I had a brilliant seat in the middle of the action. Well worth the money imo if you’re a fan. If there’s extortion this time - it’ll also be ticketmaster new ‘dynamic’ pricing model. I also think the Irish public were asleep at the wheel in 2018 - forking out to see Ed Sheeran in fields playing his loop machine verses Taylor’s massive production in Croker. I think it’ll be a different story this time around though if she does come. I’m actually fearful she won’t after the sh**show of 2018 Croke park night 2.

Night 2 and 3 interest me the most

Would she have a variable part? I would have thought a star as big as her would just name her price and the promoter pays it. Tickets sales are then the promoter's problem.

They did about 6 Wembley stadiums this year, so hardly scope for more in London, and they are doing 6 other UK gigs next year between Manchester & Cardiff, but can see additional gigs being added, in that 2 week mid June gap, & after the last one currently scheduled for July 19th.

Assuming its Croke Park, what are the revised “banned timeframes” for gigs there with the various matches on ?

Got 2 tickets myself just there for trivium,

I created a playlist of the current set list if you want to use it,
