Its Saturday and Sunday aswell. I hate the way ticketmaster/MCD play this stupid 'Due to phenominal demand' crap and pretend they just put on more nights..
Why cant they just put them all on sale now and let us buy tickets for the nights we want?

Well the reasons are obvious so no need to list them anyone, but it is really annoying.

Just checked and row I is coming up when picking circle seats. So perhaps they are genuinely worried it will not sell out all 3 dates, and so not put them up until the first sells out.

Many mates of mine have seen them so many times that they are not that pushed at going, I have not bothered with many of the "xmas gigs" since they were in the point or the RDS and on weekdays and quite pricey. I thought the olympia would sell well though.

i have seen them loads of times at the rds, i have never been to the olympia, whats it like, is it seated and what hotels are in that area.

Hey, I have two standing tickets for the Saturday night show in Dublin. Anyone want to swap their Friday night tickets for mine? Would really appreciate it....can't make Saturday anymore!!

Brilliant gig. Had seem them before in the Point, the Olympia is a much better venue. Shane was in top form. Standing area went mental for the songs of the encore.

Did anybody see the sign on the box office door, I saw it friday said something like "attention pogues fans, if you have tickets for friday or saturday you can buy sunday night tickets 2 for the price of 1" and it might have been for box tickets too, or only box tickets.
