    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*

    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...)

    I got 6, I was meant to be getting 3 and my mate was supposed to be getting another 3 but he wasn't answering his phone at 8.50 so had to go for the lot at once. Relieved now after reading all the problems people had especially since I could get so many.

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

    A lot of the tickets went on the presale I think so it won't be too much ticketmaster staff I wouldn't say. Although how can I tell? Do they have some manner of deformity or company branding on their faces that'll make them easily identifable?

    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

    My sister texted me furiously yesterday saying I'd given her the wrong password for it. The iron was hot, people just didn't strike I suppose.

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

    Where's the double thanks button?

    *ahem* - I was PMing the password to anyone who asked. ;)


    The MCD page is very misleading about the support on the night.

    It says this:
    MCD.ie wrote:
    Comedians and fellow Flight of the Conchords actors Kristen Schall and Arj Barker are set to open each night

    Which implies that both Barker and Schall will be supporting but then further down the page it lists the dates of each one. So, sadly, there'll be no Murray in Dublin which is a shame cause his stand up is great.

    Arj = Dave the pawn shop friend.
    TBH I bought the Murray stand up DVD with christmas vouchers last year and it was one of the worst purchases I've ever bought. Some parts were bordering on the okay but he isn't a great comedian by a long stretch. I think even Bret and Jemaine feel this about his stand up, the documentary on s2 DVD hints at this.

    His routine relies too much on making stupid or "Funny" noises & impersonations.

    Didn't hear about this 'til Wednesday afternoon, and when I tried the Fan Pre-Sale it was already sold out.

    So I was up early and online this morning. Tried to get 3 tickets on the Thursday first but it said twice that there were none available. Decided to try Wednesday instead and managed to get three in the Circle!

    Really looking forward to it, they're just excellent!

    Yeah anything I've seen of Rhys Darby doing standup has been terrible.

    edit- I should really change that to "any time" as the original wording just sounds weird. ;)

    They do have 3 nights free after the Dublin gigs before they play England so maybe they'll stick on another show.

    I'm hoping they add an extra date... but not for a while, until after I find out my exam timetable! That's what held me back from purchasing this morning.

    The Olympia has stuff on those inbetween nights so unless they change venue it most likely won't happen.

    I seen some fella on ebay is selling two tickets for 200euro. What a w*nker!! I hate him.

    See if you bought the tickets off him for the price, could you ring ticketmaster and notify them or even the garda siochana? Like it is illegal right?
