    I never knew that Kiosk was a ticketmaster, someone told me to try there, just called them there and they said they only got three tickets which were obviously yours Joe_Dull. I'm so gutted I didn't get tickets, after being online and on the phone for 9am, grrrrrrrrr! :mad:

    I'm going to both nights and one in Manchester.:D
    I can not wait for April to just come and go! Haven't looked forward to something so much in such a long time! It's like Christmas but waaayy better!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,127 ✭✭✭Linguo


    Yeah it's very exciting, don't want to get our expectations too high but we know they're going to be GREAT:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,828 ✭✭✭unklerosco


    Anyone any idea on the likely hood of them announcing another date for Dublin??

    From all accounts it's slim to none. The Olympia isn't free when they are.

    Dang... Well, guess I'll try n get tickets for a gig in the UK... Unless anyone has any to spare here..

    Missed out for tickets for Dublin, Glasgow, London and Manchester...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7 mskippy


    I'm the only person I know that likes them enough to go see them so I'm heading on my own. Anyone else in the same boat?


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,828 ✭✭✭unklerosco


    Finally got tickets for Wembley in the pre sale this morning, got great seats too!

    Q an email in the next 5 mins about a new date for Dublin...

    Want to see Flight of the Conchords in the Olympia but don't want to give insane amounts of money to touts? We're campaigning for more Dublin dates on the FOTC European tour and need you to show your support.

    We have set up a petition page on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=389960620849&ref=mf
    so please join and help us show them how many of you out there want to go see FOTC this May. England has already got 3 extra dates added so it should be possible to get more dates to Dublin.

    Here’s the plan: The Olympia Theatre holds 1,300 so when the petition reaches that many members we are going to contact the Olympia, Ticketmaster and whoever else we need to get another date added.

    So please join and invite anyone else that appreciates Flight of the Conchords.

    And what date do you propose for this? The Olympia isn't available on the Conchords free dates around the Dublin gig.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,828 ✭✭✭unklerosco


    Not necessarily, there was originally only 1 date in Manchester. Second one added is two days before the original dates. So its Manchester - Birmingham - Manchester.

    For Wembley the new date is 7 days before the original Wembley date...

    Fair enough, there's no dates in the olympia that really suit them, but there's plenty of other venues in dublin that they could use


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,800 ✭✭✭Toast


    I'm pretty sure that the promoters are well aware that there is enough interest for additional dates and would put on another date if they could. They are also aware of all the facts that we are not which includes venue availability, band availability, band requirements etc. That they haven't put on another date means there is probably a reason we are unaware of for them not doing so.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    I think people blindly believe that extra dates 'due to popular demand' are just added as tickets sell and not pre-planned when the tour is being booked.

    Some of them perhaps are but by and large I'd say extra dates are all worked into the touring schedule from the start.

    If there was going to be an extra date it'd be announced by now I'd say and no Facebook group is going to do anything about that.

    Well, ya gotta do something to let FOTC know if there's anything you can do, please put on another date. Otherwise (like me) ya gotta wait until they do another tour :(

    Found out about the tickets far too late :(

    I do like David O'Doherty a lot but does this mean that Kristen Schaal isn't performing?

    Ah they can get the Ferry. :/ I hope


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,417 ✭✭✭Miguel_Sanchez


    Hopefully they're on a tour bus.


  • Registered Users Posts: 240 ✭✭Turlock


    Hopefully they're on a tour bus.

    Or at least an Accord :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,274 ✭✭✭Orlee


    Yeah, I got confused there, I didn't know what to do. Honda Accord was too big to fit in the gap there, so I put bus back in. I knew as soon as I wrote it there'd be some sort of controversy.

    Ah murray ...
