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?

you can't buy tickets at ur local TM agent for someone else i'm afraid!

whoever is going needs to get the tickets themselves.. ie. if your aunt wants togo with her daughter/son she needs to go into her local ticketmaster and bring her ID and CC with her, her name will be printed on the tickets and she'll need her ID and CC on the day of the concert too

however if you book online, just get her CC details and make sure you use her name for the tickets and it shouldn't be a problem!

Can you not just pay in cash at the ticketmaster booth? Thats what I was planning to do?

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!)

Thanks for the good wishes! I don't know I'm just afraid the site will be down again. I really don't want to queue but it's a risk i'm willing to take if i have to. I'm going to look into booking over the phone though, i didn't really consider that. Thanks again!

don't think so according to most sites! just type in "miley cyrus tour paperless cash" and you get a ton of sites saying you can only pay with a CC.

You can't pay with cash or write a check.

Don't have a credit card? Sorry to hear that, especially if you're older than 12 and, for some reason, are dying to see the show. A preteen without a line of credit must be accompanied by a willing credit-card-carrying adult.

heres another site about it: http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/consumer&id=6854993

we bought ours with a 3v card.. www.3v.ie when i called i mentioned this to the guy and he said it was fine just bring my ID and the voucher (even though they cant scan it..) and it will be okay. maybe u could try get one of those? not sure if you can pcik them up in person anywere,it takes them 10 days to post them out

yeh i know what ya mean, on monday when i tried gettin the tickets i kept getting "sorry your request could not be processed" errors for at least 5mins then it went back up,but i can only imagine friday there will be a lot more people trying to get the tickets!! i think jobros sold out on the general release day after 10mins..but they only had one show here and miley is having two,so hopefully if u queue early u'll get a ticket for one of the shows!!

while i think the limits of buying tickets are good for getting rid of people who want to buy tickets just to make a profit..it also sucks for a lot of families who don't have CC's or don't get tickets on time! like at least if you miss out on tickets for other concerts you can find them online (usually for twice of what they cost originall but its worth it to some people) but with this..if u dont get tickets friday u dont get to go!!

sorry for the essay:p

from the TM site:

[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica]Ticketmaster accepts American Express, Mastercard, Visa and Laser Cards. Unfortunately Ticketmaster Ireland does not accept Switch, Maestro, Solo Visa Delta, Visa Electron and Diners.[/FONT]

just make sure whoever owns the laser card will be attending on the day with ID (and you must book under that name as it will be printed on the tickets)

Because of the ID requirements we won't be allowing resale of spares on Toutless.

I reckon there will be small resales between now and the date on ticketmaster so if you don't get them on Friday keep an eye on ticketmaster especially closer to the gig date as reserved industry tickets will become available. Also if shes in the city for 4 days I wouldn't be surprised if there is an extra date or two but we shall see.

The important thing to take away is anyone offering them for resale through unofficial means can not guarantee your entry so don't throw your money away at anyone who suggest they can. Arriving on the day to be turned away will be a far more upsetting scenario than any other.

agreed with the last part!

but the reason she is staying here for an extra 4 days is because she wants to see ireland, this is going to be her first time here and thats why she's taking those days off. plus her birthday is at the end of november and since she is touring so much she won't have time to celebrate,so shes going to celebrate it here! i really doubt they will add another date especially since she wants to take it easy and chill out here...

Miley Cyrus will celebrate her 17th birthday with a four-day holiday in Ireland: Miley is due to jet into Dublin on December 16 for the first of two concert dates at the 02. Since she will not get to mark her November 23 birthday properly due to her marathon concert schedule, Miley has requested a four-day rest period so she can take in all the Emerald Isle has to offer. The Irish dates were included especially at Miley's request.

Can anyone advise what to do to be in a decent chance of getting tickets online for this gig? eg set up a ticketmaster account today, log on early - what time? ... I'd love to bring my kids to this! Thanks

melissavm

I'm still stuck on whether or not i should go down to my ticketmaster outlet tonight/tomorrow morning and wait or risk getting them online. Which would be the smartest? I'm wrecked from the last 2 weeks of exams and would kill for a long night's sleep but i think it might be worth waiting? Do you think i'd get a good ticket if we were ready to go at 8.59 online?

niceirishfella

Well, if you queue, you can see how many are ahead of you, unlike if you were online.

you need to be on ticketmaster at (or before) 8.59, keep refreshing the page and at 9.00 you will see the "find tickets" link, click it quickly and and enter the seat info(if you want tiered or flat seats)asap once it finds your tickets they give you like a minute to decide if you deffo want them so they hold them for that minute.
my advice is when you pick which seats you want make sure its on "best available" and take whatever is given to you because with the presale..i had seats at the very front then i got a ticket master error and within 30 seconds i was being offered seats for row L and M so they get snapped up real quick and if you refuse the tickets youll probably get offered worse seats when you try again
also on the presale the tickets for the 2nd date were being snapped up faster than the first day.. i tried the second date originally cos i thought "everyones going to just try the first date so ill go for the 2nd and get a great seat!" but it seemed that everyone else was thinking what i was too
good luck getting them!!

personally i wouldnt even bother going down to your ticketmaster outlet, the queues here for jobros were massive (some people camped out overnight to get tickets for their kids!!) and i can only imagine some parents will do the same for this..and lets say you get there early and theres only 20 people in front of you..think of the time its going to take the person at the TM booth to verify everyone (they have to check their CC and ID) and then enter all their details to print the names on the tickets..and while this is happening its happening in hundreds of other ticketmaster places around the country!!!
i would just try and get them online but be alert and awake,take the first seats you are offered because if you search again and are given bad seats or its sold out you'll regret it!! good luck:D

Queue up with a laptop & a mobile usb broadband stick and your phone.
That would give you the best chance

Serisously though, I got U2 tickets online and while it was busy, the site didn't crash, you just get an updated message every so often like "this queue is X mins long" and eventually you get in.

Logging on to the site at 7:30 or 8:59 won't make any difference, just wait for the "on sale now" message to appear and click the link and choose your seats as fast as you can.

Another option (although they will probably sell out fast also) is go to England to see her. Especially if you're not from Dublin, flying to and staying the night in London wouldn't be much more expensive.

logging on at 8.59 won't mean tickets are on sale but it will mean you can get the link straight away, if you type in www.ticketmaster.ie and then look for miley cyrus and click find tickets at 9.00 thats going to waste time. just keep refreshing the site at 8.59until it hits 9am and the link changes

I got u2 tickets online, no problem, went online about 7:55am [on sale at 8am], refreshed from about 7:58am [in case my clock was a bit off], got tickets straight away, no queue, no crash!

I just noticed on the MIley Cyrus tickets on ticketmaster it says the cardholder must have ID and be going to the concert, I buy tickets on my parents card and go myself, there's never before been a problem, why now?

Anti-touting measures. They don't want people buying them just to sell them for profit. It does suck for people who have a legit reason for not going (who can't resell tickets) or for people who want to buy tickets for someone else as a present or whatever.

Got my four tickets yesterday morning. Wouldn't be able to go home and face the world's biggest Miley fan if I didn't.

General question out of nosiness as I will be attending but the tickets were booked under my name and using my credit card and I live near the O2. If I was to not go for some reason and gave my ticket to someone else, would I be able to just walk to the door with them, show my ID and credit card and let the four others head in?

JJ

The wif walked by St Stephen's Green SC at around 7.15 this morning and said she saw a good few people queuing up for tickets. She just couldn't understand why though.

Gazza22

This must have instantly sold out. I'm talking <1minute because i've been refreshing since 8:59, i got the page up at 9:00 and entered 2 Any Price - Any Section....

Went into a 2 minute queue and got nothing.

I feel your pain. Luckily the kids are oblivious so no dissapointment, for them anyway.

*Dallas

an absolute joke!! on since before 9 refreshing the page and straight away 2 tickets for anywhere in the arena sold out... WITHIN 2MINS!!!!!!!!!!!!

how on earth!!!

this o2 priority and American Express priority is aload of b*lls..

i think if they are goin to do that, then they should allow ticketventors to print off aload of tickets the night before, let ppl still que and then get them in the morning..

alot of disappointed kids everyhere this morning

Unlikely, I got 4 under two different accounts (as in two separate transactions).

No problems at all going.

It was always going to be the case that demand was going to exceed supply.

Your very lucky! I don't know how you managed to get two seperate transaction through

robinph

Can't belive I'm going to admit to doing this, although it was for some other semi-computer illerterate person, but I just got tickets for the second day no bother. The first day was coming up as unavailable, so just changed day and got straight in.

I'm not being smart but you go in at 9am on the dot and buy the tickets, without fail you get tickets.

I'm at a loss as to why people feel the need to refresh the lard out of their connection? Surely the ticketmaster site tracks the connection and refuses to connect those which are refreshing every few seconds?

ps two separate transactions were with two different ticketmaster accounts logged in with different browsers.

pps went for the second day from the outset (as per above) as cop on would tell me that the first day would be the one people will go for automatically.
