Michael Buble has announced 5 nights in The O2 Dublin on July 15th,16th,18th,19th & 20th.

Tickets €79.50 go on sale at 8am this Friday on Ticketmaster.

Not my cup of tea but will sell like hotcakes!

Furious-Red · 10-12-2012 9:26pm

Wouldnt mind seeing him but not gonna pay €80 for an indoor show

Jofspring · 10-12-2012 10:49pm

80 is a lot and is on around the same time as Springsteen.

Dietsquirt · 10-12-2012 10:53pm

Kill me now

Irish Aris · 11-12-2012 1:04am

I predict a riot (for the tickets).
A friend from back home (Greece) is already begging me to buy tickets so we can go.
Don't mind seeing him, I like his songs.
I hope ther is an O2 presale, otherwise I will give my first fight on Friday. . .

karaokeman · 11-12-2012 11:14am

Not my cup of tea either, but..... could the tickets of not been any cheaper?

I mean €79.50? It will be slightly more with service charge and all that, good luck to him selling out all five nights.

eviltwin · 11-12-2012 11:18am

Would have bought two for a christmas gift but was shocked at the prices so I will have to decline.

Id say he will have no problem , sure last time he was here he sold out 2 nights in the aviva

Just Like Heaven · 11-12-2012 12:03pm

I don't know what you're talking about €80 for this is an absolute steal :pac:

Jofspring · 11-12-2012 7:19pm

80+ euro is too much for anyone in my opinion but if you are a fan you won't care at the end of the day.

They could definitely have put the shows on for cheaper and still made a tidy profit.

Most people don't mind the €80 for the ticket it's the bloody €6.50 per ticket admin charge that drives me nuts.

ilovesleep · 11-12-2012 10:14pm

Are there any golden circle tickets? Like the last time for being up there at the front of the stage.

I think the admin charge is included for the price for his shows.

In all the years buying from ticket master I've never not had a charge added on. It says 79.50 for tickets and there is always a charge onto that.

Bruce Springsteen was advertised as €90 but they were 96.50 by the end of the transaction.

Qprmeath · 12-12-2012 9:00am

So cheapest ticket ninety euro in the middle of a massive recession to see Buble?
Whatever your musical tastes them prices are way over the top.

Frisbee · 12-12-2012 10:14am

Cheapest are 79.50.

We were thinking of pooling money and getting 2 for my mam for Christmas but ticketmasters ridiculous Paperless Ticketing system has put me off.

Irish Aris · 12-12-2012 12:11pm

I bought the expensive ones myself - 115.60 EUR each (109.50 for the ticket + 6.10 service charge).

That's now the most expensive ticket I've ever bought. . .

beller2000 · 12-12-2012 12:42pm

does anyone feel really christmassey and feel like passing on the presale password? Or failing that, point me in the right direction to join the fan club so i can get the password?

You need to have an O2 mobile phone to do that.
If you do, you can go to the O2.ie website, find the priority tickets section (easy to find, it's on the top of the home page) and register.

beller2000 · 12-12-2012 1:00pm

im in the North. Im on O2 up here but it doesnt work with the presales for the O2 Dublin unfortunately, and just noticed its £18.99 for the cheapest membership to his fan club. Think ill wait til Friday and try my luck. Dont fancy that on top of the already ridiculous ticket prices!

beller2000 · 12-12-2012 1:01pm

Thanks though

Ziegfeldgirl27 · 13-12-2012 10:51am

Can't wait for this, alarm set for the morning, and will hopefully get myself sorted at 8am tomorrow!

Of course, my bank balance will not like this one bit.... it's a bit too close to Christmas but you never know if these gigs will sell out or not and I want a good seat too.

I thought they were all the one price throughout the arena? I didn't realise there were different prices.

Ziegfeldgirl27 · 13-12-2012 10:59am

Also does anyone know why on ticketmaster.ie the seating map shows only tiered seating? Why is it not showing the flat seating on the floor, and why is it not showing the price category for floor seating?

vader65 · 13-12-2012 11:07am

I would love too but tickets are waaaaay too expensive!

ilovesleep · 13-12-2012 6:04pm

I love Michael Buble and I'd have no problem spending the 115 euro on a ticket but it's the week before xmas.

I have no funds or savings set aside and have limited money for xmas shopping which isn't enough. I'm waiting for an overdraft but that may or may not come through and I won't know until next week. If I get a ticket tomorrow I'd be digging into the limited money that I have in the hope of an overdraft coming through next week.

Fcuked.

Or do I not bother with a ticket in the hope that's there's more left next week or in Janaury.

Ziegfeldgirl27 · 14-12-2012 9:22am

Why no floor seating

Got a couple of tickets in the lower tier anyway, but I don't know why they did not add floor seating (my preference). Perhaps they hold that section for the paying fan club members?

Jofspring · 14-12-2012 9:24am

Got tickets for the Saturday night. I went for the 89.50 tickets in the hope they were a little better than the 79.50 but we are about 5 rows from the back in the middle of section P which is in the corner. I was only ever on the flat standing in the o2 so has anyone any idea what the view is like from there. Does it feel miles away?

The O2 is a really good venue, I have only ever been in the upper tier block L and K before and the view is excellent, however I am the same as you because I am in block G (row 14) and it seems I am going to be in the corner of the whole venue. I am not sure what my view of the stage will be. My tickets were E230 including fees

jasonb · 14-12-2012 10:36am

I got two tickets for my wife and her friend this morning. Tried for the €79 ones first, but they were offering me seats in Section A, 2 seats from the very side of the venue, almost as far into the corner as you can get.

So I decided to try for the €89 ones, and got two seats a little more away from the side of the venue in Section P, but about 1 or 2 rows from the very back. In the end I went for them 'cos I had to go to work and I wanted to get them seats somewhere.

So, I'm glad I got the tickets for them, but I do have a bad taste in my mouth from the cost and the location of the seats. I dread to think how much it costs for a somewhat decent seat. I know the O2 is a good venue seat wise, but it would be nice to be a *little* more central and a *little* closer to the stage for once!

ilovesleep · 14-12-2012 11:03am

I made a call this morning and was offered a seat in block A, rows and rows back like row 46 it appeared at the side or something and I think that was the 89 euro option. I was going to go for that then I lost reception on my phone and lost the call.

I rang back and saturday nights were all sold out so I tried for friday and I got a lucky dip seat in block p way down the back and I went again got a seat in a row way down the back like row 47, which would have meant like 46 rows before me. And that was the 99.50 price. So I decided if I was going to spend that much, I may as well go up to the price of 109.50 and maybe try and be a little closer to the stage but then those seats were all gone.

So I decided then to go for thursday night and the same situation - i kept getting a seat rows and rows and rows back in a block.

So I ended up going for monday night in block c row 20.

Price including fee 115.60

:-(

Headache of morning.

I hope the overdraft I applied for comes in next week or I'm screwed fo

Pegasus Galactica · 14-12-2012 11:08am

I have my tickets got, going to be great as I have never seen him before! Cant wait

Ziegfeldgirl27 · 14-12-2012 11:09am

:eek:Some nights are sold out already?

Well Saturday not were no longer available when I called back the second time.

I'm guessing Friday night may be all snapped up at this stage.

Ziegfeldgirl27 · 14-12-2012 11:46am

The staging and seating layout is designed by Michael Buble's production team. The stage for this show is quite large and it was therefore decided that flat seating would not be possible.

We hope this answers your query.

Kind Regards,
The O2

Deadly. It's going to be cool. So it's all tiered seating? Can you stand up on the tiers? I remember the aviva concert. No one remained seating on the pitch.

Ziegfeldgirl27 · 14-12-2012 1:49pm

I have never been to a Buble concert before! I wonder how the stage is going to be so big! I am guessing plenty of musicians?

Well you're going to love him. He's fantastic with a brillant voice and very, very, very good live. He won't disappoint.

As for your question on staging. I haven't a clue how he's going to need so much space. I'm guessing he might have a massive orchestra to accompany him but then I could be wrong. He didn't need so much space in the aviva, that's for sure but then I've never been to the o2 before so I don't about space on the floor. It can't be that small.

Friday night is all sold now. Don't know how he's getting on with the Monday, Tuesday and Thursday shows.

Managed to pick up tickets for Block D row 12 - would that be near the stage?

Smyth123 · 07-01-2013 2:01pm

Maybe the O2 website is referring to the O2 customers presale?
If the ticketmaster website still gives you availability, it's valid.

JP Liz V1 · 07-01-2013 6:35pm

Are all dates sold out?

kryogen · 08-01-2013 4:16am

I got tickets for the Tuesday night when they went on sale, xmas present for the missus, I really really really hope he is worth the ridiculous money they are charging for him.

Smyth123 · 08-01-2013 2:30pm

Tickets still on sale on Ticketmaster, so not sold out yet! Thanks Irish Aris, thought once I got them on ticketmaster all should be OK!! Must be presale O2 refering to when they say all sold out!

Ziegfeldgirl27 · 08-01-2013 3:12pm

I was on ticketmaster a couple of weeks ago and I just checked out of curiosity to see what kind of seats, if any, were still available and I think 3 out of the 5 dates had no tickets.
Smyth123, what night are you looking at?

Smyth123 · 08-01-2013 4:15pm

Got tickets for the Monday night, 15th July.

augusta24 · 13-02-2013 12:58am

I have a friend who is selling two buble tickets that I want to buy. But before I buy them I wanted to see where abouts they were and if they were any good. I'm sorry if this is a really stupid question but I'm finding the seating chart on ticketmaster confusing!

can anyone explain to me what the numbers along the bottom/top of each block represent? The tickets my friend has are in Block B row 26 so I'm guessing this means 26 rows from the front? Or is this completely wrong?! And can anyone explain how it works with the two block Bs? I'm guessing the first block is tiered but the back of this perhaps is under the back block B?
sorry I'm so confused as I havent been to a seating concert in the O2 before and I'm trying to remember what it was like for the point!!

kryogen · 13-02-2013 1:59am

They are not bad tickets, there is a seating plan online, all you have to do is google it!

I know that, but as I said, I find that plan confusing. There are two block Bs and I am trying to work out which one I'm in, and how far back they go. Does it go right back underneath the permanent seats? Or do they end where the higher level that's always there starts?

Not certain what you find confusing about it

You will be in the orange part if you buy the ticket, the tiered seating afaik.

The lower tiered seating in fact.

How much will he sell you the tickets for?
