Miley Cyrus O2 16/17 Dec

melissavm

I'm taking my 12 year old sister, her friend and one of my friends are tagging along too (purely for babysitting purposes ...*shifty eyes*) We're both 18 but I'm a little concerned about what tickets to get. I know my sister and her friend will want pit tickets, and so do my friend and I, but how safe would it be to have two 12 year olds in the pit?
I was there for Counting Crows last month. Completely different crowds, i know, but it was quite tightly packed and hot towards the front.
What do you think would be the best option for me? I want them to have a good time but I don't want anything to go wrong or anyone to get hurt. Also, what time do you reckon we'd have to queue to get to the front? We arrived to Counting Crows an hour late and managed to push through but something tells me with a gig like this there are going to be a lot of excited little girls trying to get as close as they can.

oh god i didn't even know that! thanks for letting me know i can't believe i didn't see that the first time

- do you think i could get front row tix if i buy them on o2 priority today? i know it was open to the fanclub yesterday or the day before

SDTimeout

Row A and G were on offer for the most expensive.

I'd like to know why ticketmaster tells you they are holding your ticket for another two min. You click continue with a 1:30 left and they say sorry these tickets are taken....

Tryin to get some for my little ones...cant even log on to website

SDTimeout

yep, the o2 blueroom crashed around 8:59.

I think i'm going to get the worst beating of my life when someone comes homw from school, She's only 6 too

Boots09

SDTimeout

Gerry ryan it is then...

rednik

Well what did they expect putting priority tkts available for both Miley and Fleetwood Mac at the same time and day. Not much thought put into that plan.:rolleyes:

You can still buy O2 priority tickets through Ticketmaster. The O2 Blue Room site just links you to Ticketmaster's site.

Ticketmaster mentions something about an American Express presale that starts tomorrow, might be too late to sign up for an AE card right now.

With all the presales for these things these days you'd wonder whats left for the general release!

Touts will be having a field day with these gigs.

Only so many go on sale for presale. As in say its 500 . then 500 has to be distributed between the 3 places, not as if each gets 500

Your comment is pretty ridiculous really, I won't explain why.

Anyhow, O2 make available 10% for their presale for each gig in The 02, so thats roughly around 1,900 tickets between both of these gig alone to O2 customers.

Actually, they might not. Just heard that these gigs have anti-tout measures similar to the Tom Waits gigs last year.

Yep was in ticket-master in town talking to the guy behind the desk, he said with the anti-tout measures, you have to have formal ID when purchasing the tickets and the purchaser has to attend the concert and present ID on the way in, your name will also be printed on the tickets. Bit of a drastic over the top measure, guess it makes sure the little brat gets every cent available.

I was going to get tickets for my brother and my nephew for this. Do you reckon these will sell out very quickly. I was going to q up at one of the ticketmaster stalls rather than trying to buy it on line. Dont fancy having to get up mad early to q though. Would 8am be enough time?

eamon234

Priority tickets sold out in 3 minutes. By the way priority tickets don't necessarily mean better seats so may be better off trying on Friday anyway.

sidekick100

got my tickets for me and my sister monday,4th row from the front can't wait

yup this is correct, just got off the phone with ticketmaster and they confirmed it.

you need your credit card and government id when you attend the concert, the card will be swiped to verify it.

don't think its "to make sure the little brat gets every cent" at all, its to stop people buying tickets and selling them at inflated prices.

we booked our tickets in our moms name because we used her credit card (and shes not coming with us),but they haven't been posted yet so i rang ticketmaster and the guy was able to change the name to my name thankfully!!

1,000 for o2, 2,500 for fanclub, not sure how many for AE but i'm guessing somewhere between 500 and 1000.. so theres still a lot left for general release but they will be snapped up pretty fast if the presales are anything to go by

Bluetonic

10% of both gigs were made available to 02 customers, thats approx 1900 in total.

melissavm

I'm really annoyed. I tried to get them at 9 but the website was down, had to go in for my french exam at 9.30... my mam tried to get them when she got into work but they were all gone after about an hour apparently, so now i'm stuck queuing outside my local ticketmaster, possibly having to do it overnight just to get ok seats.

apparently they sold out in 3 minutes today

i still dont know why people queue outside their local ticketmaster..i know theres chances of the site being down but if you try booking via the internet and phone surely one of them will work and be faster than standing in a queue?

good luck getting them friday though!! i feel bad for people who want to buy them to surprise their kids/siblings/etc then don't get them maybe ye will get to bump into miley around the city..shes planning on having a big birthday party here (shes spending an extra 4 days in dublin when shes not playing shows!)

oh yeah, i meant per gig
so roughly for both gigs.. 2k to o2 people, 5k to fanclub, 1-2k for AE, then whatevers left for general release!

Just lookin at this. Its madness. I never woulda expected such demand :eek:

The harvest will be good this year....

I was planning on buying tickets for my aunt and little cousin on friday morning as she will not be able to get to a TM. I didnt think there would be a problem. Was going to que at ticketmaster about 8am. Also, if I manage to get tickets on friday morning does it have to be my name on the tickets or can I tell them to put my aunts name on the tickets?

I could get her CC information and try online though. What time do they go on sale online at. Is it also 9am?

well she is the idol of most kids between 3 and 14! plus its right before xmas so think of all the moms and dads that will want to get their kids tickets as xmas gifts!
it is indeed madness but the support band sold out the olympia in one day so they'll probably have lots of fans buying tickets for this too!!
tis indeed madness though. what it would be like to be 16 and in such demand:eek::p
