X-Calibre

Mushy

markcellardoor

state.ie mentioned that tickets were apparently going on sale today. Doesn't seem to be the case. Guess it is a little early between annoumcement and sale.

hi, where did you see it on Irish Times website? I can't find it and Tripod are only selling for Tues 20th but I'd rather the Wed. Don't wanna miss out either though if they only end up playing one night.

Its in the on the record blog, they are probably holding off until the first date sells out and "due to demand.."

AnonoBoy

Midweek? Damn it.

There's a competition in the Metro AM to win tickets. Anyone know what the question/email address is?

We don't have a copy of it here at work.

Thanks for that man. I won the tickets!

Absolutely raging. Don't have a credit card, and the person I asked to pick up tickets for me missed the damn sale. One of the acts I've kind of promised myself I'd see so I'm going to have to one way or the other, but I hate this bloody rigmarole.

You better make it worth it, Murphy.

If you belive the rumours, this is the last LCD album and tour...... but I expect them to be all over the festival season this year too.

They are amazing live, this is a clip I recorded live in Melbourne nearly 2 years ago. It's the ending Yeah! live.... skip to about 1.30 into the video for some insane stuff!

For the first gig on the 20th, yes. I'm hoping the 21st isn't sold out yet.

Jedwardian

Ticketmaster and the Soundcellar were sold out on Friday morning but I managed to get some in Road Records on Fade Street that afternoon. I don't know if there are any left.

I think Ticketmaster have no tickets left for either night. You might pick some up in Road or Sound Cellar if you're lucky though.

Just got two tickets for Wednesday on ticketmaster a few mins ago!

I tried on Monday at 9am and specifically said Wednesday the 21st only to be told they were sold out. Ticketmaster has made my list...

FewFew

One of my favourite bands but the crowd was a bit intolerable last time... though if it's sold out I guess I have little choice in the matter anyway.

It was pot luck - seen on twitter that they had released a few more thanks to toutless.

Waterloo Sunset

Sorry for bumping an old thread.

If LCD Soundsystem's last gig was Coachella and flights are suspended until at least Monday, does anyone know if this gig is gonna happen?

I'll be majorly bummed if it doesn't!

Just saw this:

Pod better say something soon!

honru

Probably will be. Even if they arrive Tuesday morning, I'd say they'd be pretty jetlagged. I suppose the gigs could be rescheduled to later dates.

You won't hear anything from POD until tomorrow at the earliest.

Miguel_Sanchez

Can't we sacrifice someone to this angry volcano god to sort this out?

Sinfonia

Congratulations volcano, you just made my list :mad::mad::mad:
****ing gutted about this

jill_valentine

Sometimes, the sadface smiley just isn't big enough to do the scale of a thing justice.

From Yacht's twitter:

"SORRY DUBLIN! The LCD/YACHT shows are cancelled due to the volcano. I hate the reality, but I loved writing that a volcano cancelled a show"

devasted...

Stupid volcano.
Likelihood of getting a refund? or them re-scheduling....?

Quick glance at their tour itinerary show they're in Europe until mid-May and then back again in June. Rescheduling certainly looks possible, in any case if the shows are cancelled you will definitely be able to request a refund.

M450

soooo annoyed!!!

We only managed to get tickets last week!

AnonoBoy

If there's no rescheduled show they'll have to give refunds.

Why the hell wouldn't they? They won't be paying LCD for a gig they can't do.

Sinfonia

Even if it's rescheduled you'll still have the option to get a refund

Waterloo Sunset

It's official.

From pod.ie

"*DUE TO THE WIDSPREAD EUROPEAN FLIGHT CANCELLATIONS LCD SOUNDSYSTEM ARE UNABLE TO TRAVEL TO DUBLIN FOR THEIR SHOWS THIS WEEK. A NEW RESCHEDULED DATE WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY*"

No mention of refunds though if the dates don't suit.

JJ

The Ts&Cs of TM tickets allow for refunds for rescheduled gigs so that's already a given.

Sinfonia

LCD Soundsystem officially postponed, new date TBC. Hold on te yer tickets until then, or else refunds at point of purchase

devinejay

Man, the Volcano already prevented me from heading over to see Mos Def in London (you know, the one time I actually bother to leave the country for a gig) and now this? Seriously, t'funk?!?

homerun_homer

Frustrating to see the show cancelled, especially since the Drunk girls video just came out and it is great.

Anyway, head to the official website, stream the album and get the mp3s in your temp files to tide you over until they get over here. Don't know how record labels don't take of this better.

I'll still buy the album when it comes out I should note.

Miguel_Sanchez

Bad news folks:

http://www.state.ie/2010/04/news/lcd-shows-are-not-being-rescheduled/


I was really really looking forward to this gig. :mad:

jill_valentine

And surprise surprise, Ticketmaster are being total flanges about refunding service charges for a service they haven't provided. :rolleyes:

Say whuuuuut?

Outlets pay out the service charge, dunno about the online/phone service..

homerun_homer

Raging over this now. Had bagged me a photopass for it and everything so I'm truly gutted.

rabbitinlights

Can anyone confirm if you bought your tickets online you get back every penny you paid including booking/service charges?

Or is it just face value of the ticket?

Unreleased Demo - Love in LA

devinejay

The disappointment is only starting to fade now, seriously bummed out by the whole thing, especially listening to the new album!

I went to ticketmaster in Stephen's Green today to get my refund, but the guy said since I ordered them online I'd have to get my refund online. Didn't know this. More inconvenience.

Nonsense - typical modern day business that expects the customer to do all the work for them. Much like having to pay booking fees when ordering online, not having to deal with a person at a til. Utterly stupid.

devinejay

It's pretty crap alright, and now reading back over the email I read;

If you have purchased your tickets via phone or Internet, you must return your tickets via a secure method of post to:
Ticketmaster Head Office, Grafton House, 70 Grafton Street, Dublin 2.

Bugger.

Stark

I went with box office collection. I assume I have to ring them though, that they won't refund me automatically.

McCruiskeen

Just got an email from ticketbastard about a refund. Does this mean it ain't gonna be rescheduled???
