Coldplay - Dublin 2024 - Update Post 1 on Toutless

Coldplay have 4 Irish dates sold out, anyone get the cheap infinity tickets?

A pal got 2 for Vienna. Doesn’t matter, as all venues sold out now. Infinity would be your only hope, or a resale.

525.20 for 2.. mad money but after waiting hours i lost the run of myself , near on 30 people i know yesterday got nothing despite being some being in top 10 thousand in the queue

I've seen the band many times here and abroad including the current tour but I think FOMO has definitely played a part. The amount of people I know who don't "like" them but got tickets is crazy.

Like many I spent hours over three days trying to get tickets and by pure luck, I managed to get 2 early entry's after backing out of an €1100 option for the pair and refreshing a few times as I'd nothing to lose at that stage.

For anyone that missed out I really do believe that tickets will become available, and that many just got caught up in the hype. I love Coldplay but they, Swifty, ticketmaster and all involved in driving up these prices need to get a hold of themselves!

Crazy. Over €900 for one type ticket with a behind the scenes tour of some stage scaffolding I'd imagine, and a photo op but that clearly states no artist involvement.

I paid €550 for the pair which is steep and about €100 more than what the same type tickets cost me in 2017. For that we get to stand at the pitch hours early but we do get an amazing view.

I don't understand how they can then sell "premium" tickets that cost far more, and have people needing binoculars to see the stage from their seats.

Was there in 2017. Now have 2 teenage daughters who wanted to go (first concert) No joy over the 3 sales myself but my sister bought 4 so have kids sorted. €392 for 4 canal end seats. Would not have paid much more than that. Lucky enough to live near Dublin and have a place to stay close to Croke Park if needed. Had €250 tickets in my basket on Wednesday but just couldn’t justify paying that.

RIP Off Ireland, TM & Coldplay, MCD etc.

The difference is when it’s touting Coldplay don’t get any of the difference between original face value of a ticket and what’s a tout gets.

with dynamic pricing if general standing was sold normally at €110 but sold at €310 due to dynamic then the €200 extra goes to Coldplay and a small % to ticketmaster And mcd.

So Coldplay are pocketing tout money which is what they in on, so where's this difference again?

How do you know the breakdown or are you just speculating like your numerous posts in defense of this mob?

Will be interested to see if this is the case - obviously out of 320,000 some people won’t go but I wonder will people be selling to friends and relatives rather than Ticketmaster resale - I know loads of people who tried and failed to get tickets myself.

The demand level is crazy, I feel like there will be thousands that will want tickets that won’t manage to get them but maybe I’m wrong.

That said I was keeping an eye on Wembley last summer and did see resale pop up now again so if I’d really wanted a ticket for one of those shows I’d have got one - I’m not sure how many other shows they played in UK or if it’s comparable to the Irish context.

You have and you do, you happily were accepting it as no different to flights not so long ago, amongst other things you invented a website that was ebay for touts when asked for examples of more prevalent current touting extremes outside of Ticketmaster. This website didn't exist and you passed it off as a joke.

Now I ask you for a breakdown of how you are aware that on a €200 mark up, the artist gets nearly all this with a fraction to TM which you have casually passed off as exact and you post a random US article on how dynamic pricing works.

Does anyone know what would be the best days / times to check Ticketmaster for a potential ticket drop? Will it be pure random or do they have specific days / times where they release extra tickets for gigs.

I'd also say to watch out for scams. I don't think the tickets are transferrable yet for anyone who bought tickets (although I may be wrong). Scams are going to be everywhere. I wouldn't trust anyone selling tickets unless they specifically say which date the tickets are for, exactly where in the stadium they are, their reason for selling, and a verified profile on a legitimate site.

I say this as Facebook marketplace and Twitter are awash with the scams right now, and I just saw on Adverts someone say they're selling 4 tickets, but I wouldn't trust them (e.g ad says no time wasters, doesn't say date, and profile only made a month ago which seems dodgy to me).

In 2017 I got my ticket on adverts from a genuinely lovely guy who couldn't make it, and he sold me his ticket for €90 and ignored the service charges.

Fraud is rampant it seems since the Govt introduced the legislation on above face value resale.

The Govt were warned by their own Department that the legislation was deepy flawed.

“If, as is possible, the proposed legislation would lead to the departure of the established secondary marketplaces from the Irish market, the resale channels that will, to whatever extent, fill the gap left by their departure are very unlikely to offer the same guarantees to ticket buyers or to operate a business model that provides as effective a deterrent against ticket fraud"

Do not buy tickets on social media.

More tickets will be released by Ticketmaster as is always the case for Stadium shows, just be patient.

Resale on Ticketmaster will be available too.
