Sold out before 9am - I thought they were only going on sale at 9am!!!!

Did anyone get a presale ticket?

Adamgelston

yep got some for both nights at 8.50, , , , delighted! website is totally unaccessible at the mo!

krankykitty

I did... wahoo! (sorry for rubbing it in Hopefully you get some on Fri)

Completely missed out last time so was determined to get some for the next gig.

The computer turned itself off at a very inconvenient time this morning...what are the chances of getting tickets on Friday?

krankykitty

Last time, I missed presale and was hitting refresh from 15 mins before opening time on the sale day, and still didn't get any..

feelgoodinc27

I live around the corner from HMV does anyone think it would be worth queuing for tickets?

quad_red

Sold out already

quarryman

seems that way, how do 5000 people snap them up that quick. I smell a rat.

acutally its the olympia, a lot less that 5k so.

Piste

Are they really sold out already? =/

Was on since 8:15. Two other mates the same.

They should just move the gig to the O2.

Really? What a load of **** :mad:

Ragin Back to bed for me!

For f*cks sake. If they sold uot yesterday, they should have just written "sold out\2 on the ticketmaster site.

i base that on no evidence whatsoever but that many tickets can't be sold to online punters with in 30 seconds, they went some other way.

feelgoodinc27

There still some available for London could make a weekend of it....

Always the theory here but at 2,600 capacity - 1,300 per night and tickets limited to 4 per person then 650 transactions would see the tickets sold out. Without taking into account those that are pre reserved, and the amount that were sold presale.

It's not a conspiracy you know.

Zapho

yeah that was odd. 3 of us trying from 3 different connections. I got to the "no tickets available" at 20 seconds passed 9am

Piste

Just saw this on toutless.com:

The number presale tickets was around 300 for each night.

Olympia holds 1,300 so there's still around 2,000 tickets up for grabs in the morning.
No need for such panic.



Now I think they meant 1,000, but still, 1,000 tickets don't sell out at a few minutes past nine.

Surely they could fill the 02 with this much demand.

exactly, it doesn't make sense that they're playing olympia!

Piste

Let's hope we start to hear "due to phenomenal demand, an extra date has been added/Florence and the Mavhine have moved their show to the O2" ads in a few weeks. It worked for Placebo.

robdrog

Black eyed peas playing in the 02 on the sunday so maybe thats why they didnt go for the 02.

How???? Internet, phone or bricks and mortar?

BaZmO*

Are yis mad!?! Didn't get a sniff!

quarryman is right, an awful lot of tickets go to MCD staff. Staff can prebook tickets for friends so that takes up quite a lot of the allocation, especially for high demand gigs.

ttoppcat

Half an hour of stress for nothing

Had both windows open at ten to 9. At 9 on the button started refreshing. I can touch type so can get the codes in really fast but still nothing. Can't believe it. I'm gutted

Lemegeton

this is a feckin joke. there is no way ticketmaster had any tickets available this morning. too many people with the same story as me who at a few seconds past 9 got no tickets available. if mcd have any common or financial sense they will reschedule and move to the O2.

Pretty massive queues outside ticketmaster in St Stephens Green, I'd say there were a lot of dissapointed people. I've a mate who works for MCD who got mine yesterday, I'd say there was lot of that

clairey__Ox

Depressing much?
did ANYONE get any this morning? I took the morning off school to get them,was ready since 8, refreshed at 9 ON THE DOT and zilch:(

Apparantly, they were already sold out? That GetMeIn thing is a joke, 9:01 and they were selling standing tickets for 189 quid!

I predict a lot of complaints...Joe Duffy anyone?

Why?

It's simple ecomonics, supply and demand.

I wouldn't worry too much though. It's not like the old days where if you missed a band you'd have to wait another few years before seeing them again. They'll be back before the end of the year, guaranteed.

from €28 to €250

heartofwhite

I queued for an hour to get some and they were gone. Sick is not the word. There are ****eheads selling them on ebay for 250 euro. I have already emailed joe duffy about it. Please do the same to highlight the issue.

JJ

Somehow I just got 2 upper circle tickets just now for the first night but there doesn't seem to be any left when I checked again.

dario28
