    I bought my tickets for the Odyssey in Belfast because I couldn't get London tickets. Now they have released the Dublin dates I have my Belfast tickets for sale.

    I am able to buy tickets 2 hours earlier than the General public tomorrow morning so I know I will get them. :D

    Year & 1/2 to look forward to it. lol

    Is that row 16 of the flat seating you got?
    I'm going Sat night, 2nd row of the lower tier and I was on at 9:02.
    I didn't try the other nights though.

    No, it's row 16 and Block B of Tiered Seating (probably close to where I've indicated below). Am happy enough with it.

    I could have booked them Saturday (priority tickets for O2 Blueroom) didn't actually bother.

    Block A, I think row 13 for the Sunday. Bit annoyed it's not in front of the stage. Got two for Saturday as well. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,543 ✭✭✭brick tamland


    I got floor level row p and the seem to be very central for Sunday night.

    Delighted with the tickets, if only it wasnt so far away. Its a bank holiday sunday too so can enjoy a few pints at it

    Got tickets for the Friday night - Block G - Number 28 188 and 187 - Are these good enough seats, are they tiered seats?

    You'd be about where the green circle is (see attached).

    Looking forward to it... although he has his haters and even I'm not a huge fan of his latest TV efforts, he's a superb stand-up. Though this tour will make or break him.

    Out of interest, why will this tour make or break him?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 990 ✭✭✭Qprmeath


    4 or 5 years ago I would have moved heaven and earth to see him but now I couldnt be bothered. The fact it is so far away is one factor but his performance on the Late Late the other night was the clincher. To be still telling the same jokes 6/7 years after his last tour sums him up. Badly needs to find some new material and freshen up his act.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,894 ✭✭✭Chinafoot


    Got tickets in the A block for the Friday. I know it's ages away but he's a comic I've always wanted to see so I can't wait!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 333 ✭✭jj72


    Is it just me or are the dates wrong on ticketmaster.ie?? they seem to have the days as thurs fri and sat....shud it be fri sat and sunday??

    Well.. it's more of an opinion than an actual statement.

    But I'd say the majority of people going to see him live are fans of his stand-up, That Peter Kay Thing and Phoenix Nights and not so much of his television and musical efforts of late ('Britain's Got The..' etc).

    The tour is selling very very well.. so it's certainly a commercial success, but whether audiences will think the same is to be determined!

    Don't know.. he did say he was still writing it.

    At the end of the day.. he can't go out there and do the same show. It's inevitable there'll be callbacks to his older material, I'd expect that.

    Ticketmaster have Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. He added the Thursday as an extra date.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,413 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    He's already added an extra date? :eek:

    As I said in another thread, he sold out 20 dates in Manchester in under an hour.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,700 ✭✭✭brayblue24


    The Friday night for me and already I can't wait.

    Pity it wasn't next Thursday though-a few laughs might be just what we'll all need then:(:(

    Yeah it's mad. I logged on on Saturday via the O2 priority thingy and tried for the Saturday and the best available were close to the back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,194 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Got 5 tickets. I think his shows in Manchester are this April, so I'll have plenty of time to sell them if he gets bad reviews

    18 months to wait is crazy though. I text a friend of mine to tell him I got 5 tickets for the May 2011 show. He text back saying he can pay me for them out of his pension :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 500 ✭✭✭Ya-Boy-Ya


    I got 2 tickets in Block H Row 51 seats 37 & 38
    anyone know where that it ???

    12901s.gif


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 500 ✭✭✭Ya-Boy-Ya


    I know the seat plan but for the life of me I cant figure it out !!!!

    Now Im lookin for Block F row 29 !!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,413 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    I don't know how people find the seating chart so hard to figure out.. tis fecking easy!

    The letters in each coloured block indicate the block (A - P), the numbers along the far-left of each of the row of blocks indicate the row (1 - 20, 21 - 32, 33 - 37) and the numbers indicated on each corner of the block indicate the seat numbers that reside there.

    Ya-Boy-Ya - Block F, Row 29 is near the back of the Red F Block in the diagram above, . Block H, Row 51 is the very back of the seating area.. it should be at the back of the second H block in from the left.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 32,865 ✭✭✭✭MagicMarker


    So yeah, it pays to buy single tickets folks. Bought one today at about 12.30.

    Flat Seating, Front Row:D

    SUCKAHS!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,413 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Front row at a comedian? You well? Hope he rips the sh*t outta ya, MM! :D

    Which night you going?

    :D

    Friday night.

    If it was any other comedian I would have searched for another seat! But Peter Kay is a teddy bear. You should check out Frankie Boyle! Jesus he'd tear you a new arsehole.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 481 ✭✭coldwood92


    he was unreal on the late late


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,413 ✭✭✭✭Basq

    Post-Kay drinks so?

    Very true.. any comedian bar Peter Kay would rip you apart!

    You've tempted me good sir, see ya in April 2011!! :p:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,873 ✭✭✭Skid


    Seat location: section FLAT, row A, seats 39-40

    From reading the seating chart my seats look like dead centre front row? Or am I deluding myself?
    As MagicMarker says, if it was any other comedian I'd be shaking going in, but I think the worst Peter Kay would do would be to get a sing song going or something!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,413 ✭✭✭✭Basq

    My liver will be well and truly destroyed by then.. so you'll have to drink it for me!

    Yep. You're right.. dead centre, front row! :D

    Just to whet everyone's appetite... my first upload to YouTube a few years back, and almost a million views.. if only it was original:

    I had tickets for Belfast which I sold for enough to pay for my tickets for Dublin. :D

    I am in Row 9 right in front of the stage. I have 4 tickets.

    Its just a crying shame I have to wait until April 2011 to see him. I just showed his youtube clips from the Late Late Show to my OH. She love's him and is upset that she has to wait so long.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10 sullycork


    anyone selling any pls pls


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    Why on earth are the tickets out so early? I thought it was ridiculous enough buying Eddie Izzard ones for tonight in March, but 1.5 years in advance? :confused:

    I suspect because there was so much interest in the UK league of the tour he needed to add more dates which he did by adding Glasgow, Belfast etc. I bought tickets for these but his Dublin tour was not released until he said it on the Late Late Show. Belfast is not until December but the next dates are Dublin in April. Why not Jan,Feb or March is a mystery to me?

    But if he sold his tickets long after the hype ended from people googling for tickets then he may not have sold as many.

    I sold my Belfast tickets and I'm holding onto my Dublin tickets.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10 sullycork


    ya i went in lookin for 4 tickets today and they were all gone but the girl did say that there was single seats scattered around but need 4 together

    Peter has just announced he's doing a couple of warm-up gigs for the new tour in the UK.. with proceeds going to the Haiti Relief Fund.

    http://www.seetickets.com/gigsandtours/kucr7crE/

    Guess we'll know the census on his new material next Wednesday morning. Of course his show will obviously change between now and when he plays here next June but it will be interesting to see how he takes to his first stand-up gigs after all these years.

    I'd have to go and look for mine but I know I have 4 tickets for row 9 right in front of the stage. Got them pre-sale as well through a link on the Peter Kay fan club / facebook(cant remember which).

    Post again closer to the time if you still need them, I got a pair for the Friday and the Saturday night for me and a mate but it's on around our exams so we might both go the same night leaving me two spare or we may have to go on different nights with other people.
