Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer, Three Arena, 10th June 2024

They are trying to shift as many VIP tickets as they can first. There will be plenty of semi-normal priced tickets available closer to the time.

Perhaps an indication that it's not selling as well as they hoped / expected.

I am glad people are not falling for this VIP nonsense. There was enough casualties of this tactic at Coldplay.

I was away when this went on sale and ticketmaster were having none of me!!!

What's with all these ridiculous notion tickets? Please tell me they will be turned into normal tickets closer to the day? I don't want any experiences, I want to see smashing pumpkins play a gig 🙄

Lads the wife bought me a ticket for xmas and let it slip. I already had one. Its up on TM standing ticket for face value

I'll chuck in my CV for that. Won't get it obviously but that'd be mental getting to tour with them.

Surely it's more that they just have relatively straight forward parts to play? A band like them could easily hire a touring musician

Seems to be impossible to get a sniff of tickets anywhere.

Resale is available, transfer isn’t

If/when they realise these aren't selling they do often drop them back down to standard price. No way of knowing when though, annoyingly, you just have to be lucky to be checking at the right time

I held off as I'm still not sure if I can make it, but I'm quietly confident that a ticket will be available if I decide to go

Stage times off MCD, bit hard to read but Teen Mortgage on at 6.30, Weezer 7.15 and Pumpkins at 9. Looks like Weezer will only end up doing an hour or so again which is very annoying as they haven’t done a proper headline show in about 20 years here. Don’t really get why the need for a support band

More excited for Weezer than Pumpkins

I think Weezer are one of those bands who can do bigger than the Olympia but not quite 3 Arena. In Britain they’ve usually done academies/concert halls outside of London so they’re getting to play bigger venues than usual

They've sold out 13k 3Arena together.

Smashing Pumpkins would easily sell out Trinity on their own.

Nah. Weezer on the bill is just a bonus. The double bill is making 3Arena viable, but Smashing Pumpkins on their own would easily shift 5000 tickets.

No I'm not. You're underestimating the appeal of Smashing Pumpkins. The idea that they couldn't do Trinity on their own is pretty laughable. Weezer probably wouldn't (or at least wouldn't sell it out), but would easily be able to do two nights at the Olympia if they were touring here on their own.

No, you didn't: "Neither would even do trinity on their own"

I would happily pay 80 quid to see each of them separately

At Hella Mega it seemed like Weezer were more of a novelty for most, only songs people really knew were Island in the Sun, Say It Ain't So and Buddy Holly.

Looks like Smashing Pumpkins will be doing a full set if they start at 9.

As much as I like both bands, being from the north west, I'd travel to Dublin to see SP, but I'd only go as far as Belfast for Weezer. The fact that they are supporting SP is a massive bonus.

Probably an age thing? I presume the majority of Smashing Pumpkins fans are older then Weezer fans.

I'd have thought Weezer and Pumpkins fans would be the same age. Blue album was 94, Siamese Dream 93. I'd regard pumpkins as a much bigger band, so I'm surprised by those spotify views. That said, Weezer were in my top 5 most listened to acts last year, the pumpkins weren't.

My fear with Weezer is that they'll think the crowd is a heavier crowd due to the pumpkins and will play a lot of Van Weezer. That's not a Weezer album I'd pick out as one of their better ones. I do however love their 4 seasons albums. I'm not sure anyone else did though.

Anyway, I still don't have a ticket, so I can play whatever I want in my back garden.

New guitar player for Smashing Pumpkins has been announced and (unfortunately) it’s not myself. Someone called Kiki Wong who has apparently done stuff with Taylor Swift.

Played drums on an awards show performance of 'Shake it off'.

Just got two standing tickets for 107 each on ticket master. **** stoked!

The were labeled as “promoter presale” tickets.

would you really though? Big turn off for me
