Don't worry I'll buy one for you, then you can buy it from me on ebay later at a 100% mark up. Oh no wait, that won't work for you...

Did you register for free tickets for the gig that goes on sale Wed?

Because if you did the flight from Dublin to London would be cheaper then a ticket to RATM at the 02 for almost 70 Euro

By the time the ticket company add on their nice little incentive to use to a printer, it'll be a lot more than 70e. So yeah, I'm giving this a miss, but registered for the free one. If not, Download is looking tempting.

Hahaha, that's a brilliant idea, but didn't really have the foresight to do it...

Planemo

@qwertplaywert me too but its only english 1- you cant really study for it the day before and you might as well have a night of fun before the two weeks of terror begin :P

Jay P

Woah holy crap.

This is big news. So big news. I'm definitely going. Solid FACT!

Sephiroth_dude

Omg,Im definitely gonna try and get a ticket for this .

Knifey Spoony

Haha, a bit more than a few years ago - how about 16 years ago this summer!! I was at that too & the gig in the Tivoli the year before (only 1 hour long, due to them only having 1 album at the time!).

Both were cracking gigs, but they're just too samey for me. Grew out of them many moons ago! If the gig was about €25 I might consider going to it, but wouldn't pay anything near what their going for.

If anyone needs an O2 presale code I got one. Presale tickets are on sale tomorrow at 9am so if ya want it let me know asap.

BOOKED THE TICKETS NOW!

My workmate booked tickets but he only got seated while I got standing. He said he has some friends who need/want tickets so he'll sell them the seated tickets and buy my extra standing ticket.

gingelion

Catari Jaguar

Didn't bother.

Not paying that. I know MCD et al had their greasy hands on this but still.

How can they justify that price?

xsjado

well, nothing in life is free apart from the air we breath.

a free gig in the uk means the irish have to pay for 2 concerts, hence €72.

u know your being ripped but, i try to say, well ive been into them since 94, im going. tickets bought. roll on june

Catari Jaguar

Metallica is generally €76.50. They play in sh1thole venues like Marlay Park & RDS. They also play every year and the majority of our forum frequenters go No Questions Asked. So I don't get he fuss over the price of RATM tickets.... Anyways it's MCD that sets the cost.

Metallica are the new vanguard of corporate rock!

They're not just in bed with the corporate side. They are now more a business than a band.

At least RATM paid some lip service to being against the system. For a while anyway.

MCD sets the price but RATM didn't have to go for big gig, one off stadium type shows. Its all about the most capital for the least work.

2 nights in a smaller venue? Less cost? More punters? Maybe, just maybe keep some of their integrity.

-Metallica?!?!? ffs. Used to be the biggest fan. Now I wouldn't cross the road to see them for free.

that's not really true Kitten, there's the same moaning (and I do it too....) about ticket prices for just about every gig that's announced........I've seen tonnes and tonnes of bitchin about Metallica ticket prices, but I don't see the point in people complaining about it constantly - but like you said it's not necessarily much to do with the band......
and as MCD/Ticketmaster/whoever are selling out bands with these ticket prices don't expect them to come down.......

but you have to question RATM a little being the kind of outspoken band they are for not trying to ensure that their fans aren't getting ripped off......

either way we have our tickets now - and I for one can't wait to catch them live.......another band off the Bucket List.....:)

Got my muthu' uking tickets!!!


Can't wait to kick out the jams

This is retardedly expensive. Everything else has fallen in price. Why are we sill being raped for concert tickets? No concert ticket is worth more than 50 euro
And that's still a fair amount of money as is.

But alas, it's not like they play here all the time (if ever) so once again, I bend over and let the promoters do unspeakable things to me.

/sigh.

Concert should be great though

The reason for high ticket prices imo is that's were the money is now. Bands are making less these days from recorded music because of file sharing etc. so the big money is in touring and merchandise,hence the higher cost of tickets.

Got my ticket, role on June!

Piracy isn't a new thing. Cassette and VHS tapes in the 80s had a similar effect. Sure the whole cinema industry almost collapsed because nobody went to see films any more. However ticket prices were still a lot more reasonable. I know inflation and all that jazz, but proportionatly they cost less.

It's simple really, they know they can rip us all off because we really want to see our favourite bands. So they do. Supply and demand.

lord lucan

So long as shows still sell well at these prices we'll never see the price come down. Supply and demand is right,only when we decide that the price is too much and don't buy tickets will bands & promoters get the message.

taytothief

Don't care how much the tickets cost, I couldn't miss them. Missed them at Oxygen and couldn't get over it.

ROLL ON JUNE.

can't wait!!

Patricide

Got my ticket this morning, I dont know if il actually afford to go at the time(Gotta get up to dublin from cork, get a place to stay and all that so it all adds up to a pretty ****ing pricey gig). I think the ticket price is RIDICULOUS, to the point where were getting raped. However saying that, im willing to pay it for rage so I cant really complain.

My plan now is to keep my ticket till june, see how my funds are then and if i cant afford it im sure il have ZERO problems selling it. Whats worse though is I could probrably even sell it for twice its price if I had the morals of a tout.

you know i think these guys r noobs. always did with their little 'FU won't do what u tell me' rant.. they have an ok guitarist w his distinct style but to use the christmas pop slot, their tame agenda becoming simon cowell ffs, as a means to restoke the raaaayge with a 20yrs old recording as a means to charge €60 minimum?! some aspects of adolescence should never be revisited, just put it down to naivety way back when and move on.

Tom Morello is one of the most innovative guitarists around these days. Actually, this whole band is full of amazing musicians, which is what first really got me into them.

Anyway, why do people have such a hang up about rock bands getting a bit of notice?

Got my standing ticket this morning, so roll on June.
