Sold out instantly?

quad_red · 05-03-2010 10:05am

Did any tickets actually go on sale this morning?

Either that or they sold out instantly. Know three other people who were trying and none of them got them

Yeah I got two for the Thursday

cson · 05-03-2010 10:06am

Well thank **** for that.

Two stalls tix for cson.

I wouldn't be exaggerating when I say I would have paid €100 a ticket to see these guys. I know this will bring the 'you could have them in Ballybogward for €2.27 5 years ago and now they're all mainstream and charging €50 for a ticket' crowd out of the woodwork but **** it.

Delira with me stira at the moment.

quad_red · 05-03-2010 10:06am

This is such a f**kin balls

I was F5ing every two seconds since 8.55 and i got nothing

Shzm · 05-03-2010 10:08am

****.

delbertgrady · 05-03-2010 10:08am

I got three for the Wednesday night, so some went on sale.
Quite how many is the question, I suppose.

humanji · 05-03-2010 10:09am

There's a part of me that feels the gigs will be just like the ticketmaster Christmas party...

BaZmO* · 05-03-2010 10:10am

Sold out that quick? Wow. Surprised at that.
Gotta give a big thanks to Scien again so.

Where's the double thanks button?

adamski8 · 05-03-2010 10:11am

WindSock · 05-03-2010 10:14am

Feck that. Been going at it like the clappers since 9 and nowt.

Linguo · 05-03-2010 10:14am

Same with me and my bf on both our laptops, we're livid!!:( Looks like we'll be trying to get them at an inflated price somewhere! Any chance they could see how quick tix sold and add another date??

Skud · 05-03-2010 10:15am

i got in then went back to get better tickets and lost out

adamski8 · 05-03-2010 10:17am

maybe they'll put another date on the 4th?!! doesnt seem to be anything on that night in the olympia

jk86 · 05-03-2010 10:18am

I think I got ****ed because i got an indecipherable captcha first time

cson · 05-03-2010 10:18am

That's insane they sold out that fast. I genuinely feel for those you that didn't get them cos I know I'd be raging, hopefully they'll add another date for you.

Didn't Oxegen 2007 sell out in 90secs or something like that?

WindSock · 05-03-2010 10:19am

Are they deffo sold out by now?

Linguo · 05-03-2010 10:21am

we're trying to book Glasgow instead now, just get anything and make a holiday of it:D

The Clyde Auditorium is a killer venue. Any seats in the house would do.

trinityball · 05-03-2010 10:26am

can't believe they're all gone!

WindSock · 05-03-2010 10:27am

They should have resticted them to 4. Feckin touts :mad:

booooonzo · 05-03-2010 10:27am

i was straight in the second they were "on sale" and there was none available WTF!!

Linguo · 05-03-2010 10:28am

got two for glasgow, if youre desperate check it out:D

Squelchy · 05-03-2010 10:29am

Have a feeling the fan club pre-sale put paid to us commoners.

Chris84 · 05-03-2010 10:29am

Same here I was on at 8:55, refreshing every couple of seconds and all I got was "Sorry, no exact matches were found, but other tickets may still be available". Might go to London instead.

Demios · 05-03-2010 10:30am

If they were sold out instantaniously that all sounds a little suspect. I cant even get through to their phone ordering service to try that way. What a balls. I got up early and everything!

booooonzo · 05-03-2010 10:30am

why the f*** is it saying other tickets may be available if a search for one ticket in any location wont return a result.

how come it wont just say sold out?

Mitch Connor · 05-03-2010 10:30am

ugh - thought i was buying front row in the circle.

instead i have front row, in the corner, of the stalls... NECK PAIN. damn it!

WindSock · 05-03-2010 10:32am

£88 for 1 ticket.

booooonzo · 05-03-2010 10:33am

ya must of been the "fan club" bought up a load of them.
wouldn't mind but i had the password just left it to late last night

WindSock · 05-03-2010 10:35am

I was trying to buy the fanclub ones yesterday at about 12 midday with no joy. Did anyone get any after then?

Fanclub tickets sold out on Wednesday... even tho they weren't meant to go on sale till 9am yesterday...

you were a day late, yeah plenty of people said they got them on this thread

BaZmO* · 05-03-2010 10:39am

The email from the Fanclub said that Fanclub presale tickets were to go on sale on Wednesday but they went on sale on Wednesday instead. Either the Fanclub or MCD fecked up. I know who my money is on!

Linguo · 05-03-2010 10:39am

yeah ticketmaster sold them a day earlier than they said on the fanclub site i think, we tried to get them there and no joy! Honestly check out Glasgow if you fancy a weekend away, we're gonna go plan our mini breakaway now!!:D

WindSock · 05-03-2010 10:39am

Oh right. That explains it. Thought they went on sale yesterday. I feel like Bret & Jermaine in the picture

Because it isn't sold out. There are reserved seats still available for handicapped people and ones that are pending release as they are tagged for promotional purposes/MCD use etc.

booooonzo · 05-03-2010 10:42am

when do they decide to release them do you know?

WindSock · 05-03-2010 10:47am

Boo Hoo...

cson · 05-03-2010 10:51am

I have a hunch that it was down to me having an account with ticketmaster that resulted in me getting them. I just remembered I did at 8.50 and logged in thank god.

I'm not crying.....

Makes absolutely no difference whatsover. I have an account and I've missed out on tickets for gigs plenty of times.

Usually when the various parties have confirmed they are not needed but there is no way of knowing when that is.

Taken from MCD email today....

Right if Arj supports in Dublin I'll buy you pints for the night - but he won't be supporting in Dublin. Read it and weep

Don't blame the Conchords fan club for the mess up in the day tickets were to go on sale. *Cough*... a certain company was to blame for it*cough*

BaZmO* · 05-03-2010 12:07pm

I ain't weeping buuuuddy, I gots me two tickets for Thursday!

jk86 · 05-03-2010 12:19pm

I'm seriously pissed off now. Why the Olympia? They would have sold out the O2 easily

(though obviously I would prefer to see them in the Olympia over the O2...)
