    I have two top priced tickets that I cannot use and have no way to pass on to family. Block A5, row x seat 121, 122

    Our babysitter fell through, and despite trying to swap them for other tickets on toutless website , I could not.

    They are available for free to anyone who will come to pick them up, I am in Celbridge.

    A nice bottle of red wine would be nice, but I will hand them over with a smile just to know they will be used by a fan.

    pm me for details if you are interested.

    Thats really nice of you. Whoever takes them off this guys hands, make sure you give him something in exchange! The tickets cost 115 euro each + booking fee!

    I'm on my way to the gig now to try and sell my two tickets.

    Going tomorrow night, very excited.

    To the original poster: That is a very nice thing of you to do, you're one of those people i have to convince some others still exist. That's the kind of act I hope is someday repaid in some form, top class thing to do...

    Yep. Best of luck getting to them to someone who wants them.

    I've tried to give away tickets at the last minute before on boards too... never had any luck with it unfortunately...

    still no takers,

    the only thing worse then not going is looking at the unused tickets on the shelf.

    at least if I can give them away I knowthey are going to good use.

    just finished a tub of hagan das belgian chocolate flavoured ice cream in sorrow.

    Were they taken in the end? Very nice of you, I was lucky myself, Thursday night I still had 3 for sale for the Friday gig, 1am Friday morning my mams friend sent her a text saying she'd take one, then yesterday I went in to meet my friend in a shop and he asked what time am I going to Leonard Cohen, someone overheard and asked do I have any spare tickets so I sold 2 to him. Would have been down €360 if I didn't sell the 3 of them, phew :o

    Got 2 for tonights show too. Last night was brilliant but it was only a selection of his work so hopefully tonight will have some different tracks. 73 years old and his voice is golden indeed!

    I heard Damien Rice only sang 4 songs last night and Leonard sang until 11. Sounds good to me as am going tonight. Hope it stays dry! Commiserations to the OP though, had a similiar situation myself before with Dylan Moran tickets but couldn't find anyone to take them which made it worse :(

    I see people are having trouble with selling tickets. If anyone has any problem shifting them I will gladly take them. I'll buy them if they aren't going for free! Let me know....

    just wanted to say fair play, that was very graceful of you given the circumstances - I wish there were more folks with your generous spirit. Whoever took them in the end, I hope you got at least a bottle of wine and a bit of genuine appreciation in return. Sorry you had to miss the gig.

    Nice gesture, OP, if I had seen it earlier I would have taken them myself. The search for a Sunday ticket goes on....
