Cheers.
What is the queuing like at Hyde Park, like if you wanted to get near the front?
Any idea how much the tickets for Manchester/Sunderland are?

Ecw76 · 25-11-2011 8:53am

Its pretty hectic at Hyde park. They are all standing concerts with capacity for 50,000. Tickets for standing tickets at the stadium shows this year in uk are 55 pounds.

DerryKevin · 25-11-2011 2:42pm

How early in the morning would you need to queue at the RDS to get a wristband?

moles92 · 25-11-2011 4:03pm

Do people think there will definitely be a second date?

I cannot see there not being another date. The 17th will sell out in 10 mins if not shorter and they will add a second date. Cannot see there being 3 shows this time because of other country dates around this time.

Standing might sell out in 10-15mins...it will take seating a few hours to sell out at those prices. May even not sell out initially...despite the E STREET Bands undoubted greatness.

There's a 'front-of-stage' option for Frankfurt but not for Berlin. Are there two stage set-ups on this tour?

This would be good for Dublin.

brendanbelfast · 27-11-2011 9:45pm

I'd be pretty surprised if there is no 2nd dublin date. I've ordered 8 tickets for the 17th Jy so I like to think I'm doing my bit towards a sell out!

Dr. Nick · 27-11-2011 9:54pm

They on sale Brendan?

Grand - thought I missed a pre-sale!
eventim.de already have my head fried, as it stands I have 8 tkts for four people for Berlin.......but have the pit tkts so hopefully all will be ok. As you've probably seen from the Lake they put up pre-sale yesterday without pit tkts and now they added them today!

Luckily, and very unusually, I ticked the insurance box the first time.

I will be looking for Dublin tickets myself. Does anyone know if the limit will be 4 or 6? Plus, does the distance selling rule (anything bought on the net can be returned for full refund within 7 days) apply when buying from ticketmaster? I would assume the same rules would apply and tickets could be cancelled within 7 days.

meep · 28-11-2011 7:17pm

Hugely disappointed with cost of tickets & venue. Have attended every show since TOL tour but will be missing this one.

implausible · 28-11-2011 8:04pm

Can anyone give a guess about the chances of a Belfast gig?

If u have attended every show since TOL then you paid the exact same price in 09 as this year. Prices are the same and venue.

I would give it the same rating as your sig. Maybe if night 1 doesn't sell out we could have an indoor Belfast rather than RDS2 but unlikely.

starviewadams · 28-11-2011 8:24pm

Would love to go see him in the RDS but I can't justify spending that much money on tickets + the actual cost of going to the gig aswell (food,drink,merch etc)

I'm no defender if the Dublin prices -
I think they are unfairly high - but you don't need to buy food / drink / mechanise. Guys, i think these are possibly the last time round for the E Street Band, I wouldn't miss it. I've told my wife - no money on Christmas presents for me - I am buying Bruce tickets for whatever number of shows he is doing here.

Frank03 · 29-11-2011 11:03am

Crush525 · 29-11-2011 4:00pm

Will people be queuing up for the tickets or getting them online? I went to Ticketmaster today and they said for big names the site can easily crash but they'll have the tickets ready if you go to the shop, and since RDS is so big they won't sell out as quick. They also said for another huge band the queue was really long and only the last two didn't get tickets. Which is the better one to go for?

I don't mind queuing up (even if it means staying all night) but will this decrease my chances of getting any? And what time should I be thinking of getting there at?

One last question. Will they accept debit card?

Cheers!

No, have cash at the ready. You'll only delay others in the queue and I'm pretty sure only cash at Tm outlets anyway.

rebel without a clue · 30-11-2011 7:43pm

i wont be able to queue for tickets or get near the internet tomorrow!! so im hoping there'll be a 2nd gig announced and i'll get to an outlet by tomorrow night or friday morn. surely there will still be seating tickets left by then?????

Might have two sitting tickets handy for the Tuesday gig, section BLOCK F, row R, seats 21-20.
Accidentally ordered them (want standing tickets), will let you know later, or alternatively give me a PM

Jack Sheehan · 01-12-2011 11:12am

Dutch_Druid · 01-12-2011 1:12pm

Second night was added around 09:30, ticketmasters way of making sure all tickets are sold I'm guessing

Dr. Nick · 01-12-2011 2:46pm

Standing tkts still available for 2nd night as of lunchtime...

JP Liz V1 · 01-12-2011 3:19pm

The Boss and E Street band always puts on one hell of a show

Simmonscourt Road into Simmonscourt car park/ext. Difficult to know this time as it's mid-week, but if you queue from lunchtime I think you'd be fine, pit was fairly big last time.

liptinui75 · 02-12-2011 1:22am

Tks a million dr nick appreciate it.

Dr. Nick · 03-12-2011 9:52pm

That set list you put up was awesome, I'd love to hear No Surrender and The Promised Land live.

There's a friend of ours in there somewhere.............they constantly showed DnD special for years.

loverslane · 01-01-2012 5:45pm

2012 finally here and looking forward to some great gigs at last. Been waiting too long. Will certainly be different without the Big Man as it was different when we lost Danny. Although the Big Man can never be replaced Charlie fitted in comfortably in Danny's spot.
