Queens of the Stone age

There's platinum standing, so yeah there's some left. They'll go back on sale at usual price when they aren't going to sell them, would just have to wait

Literally thinking this. Then I thought golden circle sure, but at least you get something for that. First time seeing it for standing. How it gets around legislation is beyond me

The legislation merely covers no touting above face value of a ticket.

as ticketmaster/promoter in this case Mcd/band agree the platinum prices it’s face value is €110 as it was never sold originally for cheaper.

now if it doesn’t sell at this price it will be just released as general standing ticket at lower price

Irish legislation is about the reselling of tickets above face value. The platinum tickets they offer weren’t previously sold, therefore not resold.

in regards to Melanie Martinez it looks like they decided to have the curtain up on the upper tier and limit capacity to 8,000. Not necessarily a tactic to inflate prices but rather they don’t think demand is there for another 5,000 seats at the back.

the band are to blame as much as people want to paint ticketmaster as evil. They decide to allow dynamic/platinum.

realistically if legislation planned dynamic or platinum they will just change the package to include early entry or a laminate or a t shirt and still charge the €110 for standing ticket

now they just didn’t she could do the extra thousands of seats, they may open up them up if she sells out the lower tier. Suppose they are trying to estimate her demand here.

again dynamic and platinum aren’t secondary market but need to be examined.

True, but the good seats are still platinum.

Tempted to go to this.

No standing though. Might just have to go for seated.

...keep a very close eye on sales over the time leading to the gig, its very likely standing tickets will become available from extra production tickets and resales, but this wont be announced so you ll have to keep an eye yourself very regularly....

Watched their set from glasto last night, incredible, had the energy of the some of the reading festival gigs from the 90's, green day etc. Crowd absolutely delirious at it! Savage and definitely getting a ticket for this now!

And Greta Van Fleet playing the week before. If we can get good tickets definitely a week to look forward to.

However I definitely wouldn't pay TM anything over the initial published price though. Platinum standing - are they having a fookin laugh.

Interestingly and you couldn't get an act further from QOTSA than Kylie Minogue - Kylies concerts were legendary down the years but her last tour was dire and it was the first time I experienced sheep pen standing in the 3Arena with various standing areas - and unlike general standing I ended up not being able to see a thing and going home early.

If Platinum Standing translates into the standing area in there being compartmentalised then if I don't secure a seat ticket then I won't bother my ar$e going at all.

Block j - row 45 = €69

Block j - row 33 - €100 ('official platinum ticket') ?????

Block m - r0w 34 = €139 ('official platinum ticket') ?????

Block e - row 29 = €160 ('official platinum ticket') ?????

Lots of seated tickets - No standing apparently ..... (want to sell most expensive ones first???)
