    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.

    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!!! :confused:

    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!!) :D:D:D

    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!

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