Even though I'd love it, I can't see it happening. The O2 doesn't really fit in when he's playing places like Wembley, Madison Square Gardens & LA's Nokia Theatre.

what do you mean by this? size wise? wembley arena holds about 12k, the wamu theatre in MSG holds 5600, the nokia theatre holds 7000, the o2 point holds 10,000-11,000 for a seated gig that fits in perfectly tbh!

Probably meant doesn't fit in in terms of prestige?

I have never understood why anyone would choose to see a stand-up in a massive stadium. I'd never go to see one in a venue bigger than Vicar Street, say. You may as well just wait for the DVD.

I was in the college library when I found out the April 23rd show. I had to cover my mouth I got so excited. It's ****ing RICKY GERVAIS!!!!! He is one of my heroes!!! I've been waiting for years to see him and I was looking at going to one of the Manchester shows but then saw the O2 date on ticketmaster! Yuuusssssss!!!! Can't effing wait!!

ipnface

Anybody know how to get a preorder code from O2 for the presale on Wednesday? I can't find out how anywhere online so far...

Viva La Gloria

^ That's exactly what I want to know too! I have been checking it since Friday and there's still no metion of it on the blueroom page...stress!!

bret69

Looking forward to seeing Science for the 2nd time !

Viva La Gloria

Phew! Glad i'm not the only one who keeps getting crap seats. I'm going to wait until Friday morning to try again. I was there at 9 AM and there was just no flat seating available....even though they only just went on sale. I had one really good one, 5 rows from the front of the first tiered block but I lost it because the page crashed

Fingers crossed I get something on Friday!!!

steve_r

how many tickets are available after the o2 alloaction. was trying for Florence and the Machine last week - no joy

Viva La Gloria

I just booked 2 tickets right there in the flat seating section, 6 rows from the front!! There was a platinum seating option that wasn't there during the presales!! Wow, SO glad I waited until today!!! (Ok, tickets were actually €60 for the flat seats, but like, it's Ricky Gervais....TOTALLY worth it!!)

steve_r

just got three as well, was shocked to get them to be honest. Site crashed on me twice in the process - not a fun way to start your friday!

Viva La Gloria

Did you get platinum as well?

Yeah, initially mine kept saying that the security code I was entering was incorrect but it wasn't at all!

ams

Im such a doofus! bought the regular priced tickets but then saw the platinum option was still available thanks to the previous poster and then got them as well. Hopefully will be able to offload the first two I bought. Cant believe I paid that much money but it was for a birthday present for the OH.

10% of the capacity.....so florence would have been a 14,000 standing (approx) so 1,400!

tanad

If anybody has any tickets, preferably good seating, for sale for the show please contact me on repulsivemonkey@eircom.net
Don't mind paying over the odds for them if they're good.
Thanks

I got 5th row centre in the flat seating

Right in front of me!

Are these completely sold out? Only just heard about it, no tickets whatsoever coming up on ticketmaster.

Viva La Gloria

I heard a rumour that a second date was going to be added if the 23rd sold out. Fingers crossed!

Wolflikeme

Got mine! Row E!

Saw him 3 years ago in London - was brilliant!!!! Can't wait to see him here! ♠

Are they sold out? I can't get any tickets on ticketmaster still.

btw, I think this O2 pre-sale thing is total BS, meaning that you pretty much have to sign up to one of their phones for life if you ever want to get a concert ticket

hopefully they'll have a 2nd night on the saturday, his next night in back in the UK on the Monday

I wouldn't bother with the O2 presale ever again. They give you the worst seats

Yeah, I'm pretty certain they will announce a second night if it is sold out...well, that's what I was told anyway. I was going to hold out for that if I couldn't get good seats last week but I managed to get them in the end

TheCrimsonClown

Any particular reason the age limit is 18s and not the usual 16s (like it is for gigs)? Two of my mates might have troubles getting in if they're strict about it.

Only 10 - 15% of tickets are allocated to o2 customers so you have just as much a chance as everyone else really

Does anyone know what time things will kick off or if there will be a warm-up act?

My tickets says 7.30pm surely he won't be on til 8.30pm?

The reason is, I cant leave Blessington,Wicklow til 6.30pm which is 40mins drive (God knows what its like in traffic). Can anyone reassure me i wont miss anything or am i better of getting of work?

for someone like him i would almost bet he will come out, taske a break and come back, most shows start early now in the new point as the curfew is iron clad and ridiculously strict! you may be best off playing it safe!

sorry if thats not what you wanted to hear

Haha not really but hey, its Ricky Gervais.
plus according to the tickets they dont let anyone in while the show is on so i might aswell bite the bullet!

Viva La Gloria

10 days!! I am incapacitated with excitement.

puffmullett

Has anyone that bought their tickets & chose "post" as delivery received them? I booked tickets AGES ago & haven't received them!?

Untz1234

Do Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and that other guy, Karl?? ever do live stand up? Would be great.

I imagine it would be mostly improv like their show.

I think I just selected the standard mail option but I got mine weeks ago. Maybe shoot Ticketmaster an email?


P.S Not to sound smart, but you're sure you didn't select TicketFast option where you print out your own tickets? That happened to my friend once.

Thanks, I'll give them a shout tomorrow.

Yeah 100% sure I selected post as I don't trust myself with Ticketfast

they say on the email do NOT contact us unless you have not received the tickets 72 hours before the gig, this will be the stock responce they give you, it will be a "wait and see" answer, and then a few days before hand they will print duplicates! making the originals null and void!

bazmaiden

Hey guys do you think this is still going ahead? due to the volcano ash etc

Viva La Gloria

I would assume so! Sure he can just get the boat over?

macpac26

I'd be gutted if it was cancelled. Been looking forward to seeing Ricky live for years now.

Stephen P

I can't wait for this gig, I'll be really disappointed if it's cancelled. When should we know if it is cancelled?

My friend is doing a work placement in the O2 and he's supposed to be working at this on Friday night. I asked him about it and he said that they haven't contacted him to say it's cancelled, so he doesn't see why it won't go ahead!

I would be absolutely devastated if it was cancelled. I've wanted to see Ricky for aaaaaaages. I'm even going on my own to this and I never go to shows on my own! :P
