Gonna try my best to get a ticket for the 3 Arena 👍

I missed them and Metallica last time, both were playing the same night.... I cannot remember what I was up to instead! 🤦

Stillill42 · 06-10-2022 3:19pm

Looking forward to this alright. The Cure, Pavement, Depeche Mode....heady days for us oul' lads.

Do a refresh every now and again on the Ticketmaster page. I picked up a Block A ticket doing that a few months ago. It's not a great location view wise but I can see on the night if I could wander down the stairs to the standing area

Keep an eye on the usual sources (Toutless, FB marketplace) and the app below

The 2nd encore looked ridiculously good

cnocbui · 07-10-2022 3:42pm

I saw them in the 90's - take earplugs.

glennhysen · 13-10-2022 8:42pm

Should be a good concert, they have started their tour really well and have played 3 new songs so far.

It will be nearly 30 years to the day since the first time I saw them (in the same venue!)

Hippodrome Song Owl · 17-10-2022 9:18pm

Really looking forward to this. I am in awe of how hectic their tour schedule is though. I'm exhausted just looking at it!

I will be attending this one alone and, although this is not unusual for me for gigs in other countries and the odd one in other more central Dublin venues, I have not attended a gig alone in the Point in years. I never usually worry about this stuff, but I have some concerns about safety getting back into the city centre after the gig with the increase in antisocial behaviour around the city lately.

Can any regular attendees tell me if it's likely to be fairly busy walking back towards O'Connell Bridge afterwards? So safe enough on my own? I assume a taxi would just be more hassle and risk of no show and being left hanging around as the area empties out. I'm happy enough on my own once I'm back in the city centre area for my bus.

Walking back to the city from the 3Arena is not like running the gauntlet from the Point back in the nineties, when significant sections along the route were still undeveloped. It's fine. There'll be a lot of people walking back anyway, but if you're worried about getting to the city on foot, you could get the LUAS and get off nearest to where your bus will be.

PTH2009 · 17-10-2022 9:46pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119758302#Comment_119758302

Been going to the 3Arena solo for a few years now

It's grand and you'll be walking with a crowd either going up the quays or if you go up the luas track

Getting the luas from the point to Bus Aras/Abbey Street is another option but it could be a lengthy wait after the concert

Hippodrome Song Owl · 17-10-2022 10:15pm

Yeah, the wait for the Luas doesn't appeal. I'd rather just get back towards my bus as quick as possible. So if there will be a reasonable crowd walking back I should be fine. Thanks.

Also, what time is the band likely to be on stage? 6pm seems like such an early start time even for support acts!

glennhysen · 19-10-2022 2:10pm

Based on this tour, they seem to be on stage from 8/8.30pm and will play for 2-2.5 hours

PTH2009 · 19-10-2022 2:39pm

The stage looks pretty cool

In the corner of Block A and hoping my view won't be too obstructed

Might try sneak down to the standing area

Hippodrome Song Owl · 19-10-2022 2:51pm

I won't be able to get there until 7 so hopefully that will be OK.

I'm right at the back outer corner of Block J so not great. Very sorry not to be standing, but that's all that was available so I'm just thankful I'm going.

PTH2009 · 19-10-2022 3:02pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119766109#Comment_119766109

You'll be surprised with Block J, the view will still be great

There is a function to get an 'exchange' but the new ticket would need to be of equal/more expensive then the ticket your exchanging

It's possible production holds will be released closer to the gig

exilec · 20-10-2022 12:54pm

Just back from Berlin gig . 5th time seeing them and that was by far the best ever . Can't wait for Dublin now !

Rainbow_brite · 20-10-2022 7:36pm

Looking forward to this too, I’m block N, usually stand in The Point but couldn’t get tickets.

dasdog · 20-10-2022 7:46pm

I got a decent re-sale Block F ticket yesterday for a friend and picked up two standing in August also so they are available. First time in 30+ years of gig going I've paid over the odds when the additional service charges are factored in but I've never seen them before.

McSween · 25-10-2022 7:07pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119741349#Comment_119741349

Exactly 1560 weeks. Ill never forget ‘thursday 3rd december 1992’. Ticket was £15.50.

Penfailed · 27-10-2022 9:36pm

I've a standing ticket for the Belfast gig the following night 😊

Goldengirl · 17-11-2022 1:51pm

Resale tickets coming in now for 3 Arena on TM and also on Toutless, if anybidy looking

We got 2 standing tickets... Am so happy 😁

one man clappin · 19-11-2022 12:36pm

I have just put up 2 standing tickets for 3 Arena on toutless

RolandGoose · 24-11-2022 9:32am

Here is a strange one, I could only get an e-ticket for this gig, but I seen since there are paper tickets going around. I am one of those people who likes to keep the stub as a memento after a gig. If anyone here has a paper ticket after the gig and tends not to bother with it or bin it, is there any chance I could have it?

Dreamweapon · 24-11-2022 9:45am

Do what i do and make your own. Yes, i am that sad.

delbertgrady · 24-11-2022 11:21am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119914527#Comment_119914527

No judgement here. I do the same. I take screengrabs, print them in colour and file them away with the rest of my tickets.

PTH2009 · 24-11-2022 3:28pm

Yeah I screengrab the tickets and edit using 'paint 3D', like my ticket stubs but not paying extra for one

Gig only a week away, sadly in the corner of Block A but view is decent enough if there's no big speakers at the corners of the stage. Looking forward too it

PTH2009 · 24-11-2022 4:59pm

Random question but would it be worth going to the Cobblestone or will it be still packed at approx 4.30 on a Thursday ?

Was in Bowes and the Palace Bar last week and it was pretty claustrophobic

was in Block A for kings of leon in the summer and it wasnt bad. debating whether to pick up a last minute ticket for this or not as florence is now cancelled from night b4

Hippodrome Song Owl · 24-11-2022 11:28pm

Has the stage time been announced yet?

SoundOfSilence · 25-11-2022 6:39am

1 x resale ticket up on ticketmaster now. Hopefully we'll start to se a few more from here on in.

Essielo · 25-11-2022 11:37am

Hi all ive just put up 2 standing tickets for resale on TM unfortunately somethings come up and i can't make it gutted!hopefully someone fan here can grab em

PTH2009 · 25-11-2022 1:28pm

OwaynOTT · 25-11-2022 5:32pm

Great to see the doors open for them 😬

PTH2009 · 25-11-2022 6:13pm

...and I've been beaten to it 😁

flasher0030 · 28-11-2022 12:09pm

Was looking on ticketmaster there. I saw one resale ticket. Almost €100. I was temped, but not going to pay that price. Just throwing this here if anyone else interested.

Gunner5 · 28-11-2022 1:48pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119930706#Comment_119930706

why is the cynic in me suspecting its Ticketmaster drip feeding these tickets to grab the extra 12.50?

It's showing as Low Availability which to me suggests there are tickets going to be made available but wonder will it flip to Limited once this drip feeding of tickets finishes?

flasher0030 · 28-11-2022 2:29pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119931076#Comment_119931076

It's a farce alright.

I gave in and bought one, on account of nothing available on adverts, and very limited offers on toutless. I'm not going to take the chance that something would be available on day of gig.

But its a great value gig. The Cure play for around 2.5 hours. Twilight Sad are really good too. Caught them in the Button Factory some years ago. Don't think I'll be in that early to catch them this time though.

The Cure in Malahide was good, but it was more of a social day out for us rather than the music. I'm really looking forward the indoor arena for this one, better sounds and visuals, and more focus on the music.

PTH2009 · 28-11-2022 2:36pm

TTS sound very good and hoping I'll get in for some of the set Thursday

Delighted I got lucky back in the summer and picked up a ticket. Seems very little tickets are available. Never know some more get released in the coming days

Gunner5 · 28-11-2022 3:20pm

absolutely TTS are brilliant. Have been a big fan of them for a while and them supporting The Cure makes this an extra brilliant gig. Hope they get to play a good 45-55min set. The Cure will be fantastic too

PTH2009 · 28-11-2022 3:36pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119931580#Comment_119931580

Going by setlist its about 40 min set

The top picks on Spotify not played either

Dreamweapon · 28-11-2022 11:57pm

Am i right in thinking that The Point in June 1996 was their last indoor gig here?

Nigel Fairservice · 29-11-2022 11:56am

Just looked at my tickets and saw concert was on Thursday. Had it in my head it was on Friday.

Definitely not 😅

I had that stupid idea and myself and a friend are doing both nights. Drive back on Saturday to Wexford will be hard 😄

glennhysen · 29-11-2022 3:53pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119933694#Comment_119933694

Yes, I think so.

2004 Oxygen

2012 Electric Picnic

2019 Malahide Castle

Cheers. Oxygen definitely the worst i've ever seen them. A friend who's a much bigger Cure fan than me thought they were crap that night too.

I must admit, the main reason i bought a ticket for this was i figured i'd never get another chance to see them indoors again. Should they ever return i suspect the ticket price would be more than i'm willing to pay.

PTH2009 · 29-11-2022 10:01pm

Last show til Dublin took place last night in Paris

Setlist looked great and for the casual fan get your business done before the encore, its insane
