Clare Bear

Thanks for the heads up! It'll sell out pretty fast I would imagine. Good to have them back.

Oof, they were ****e at the RDS which had more to do with the venue than the band. It was also around the time of one of their poorer albums, but not an enjoyable gig at all.

Gotta disagree with you...I thought it was an excellent gig.

Agree about the RDS, its a terrible venue.

tomissex

I too thought the RDS gig was excellent but I was at the front so the annoying RDS echo didn't affect me

RolandGoose

I thought the RDS gig was phenomenal!!!!!
I didn't hear any echo, I do agree it was the poorest album to date, so pretty good tho, just not as instantly enjoyable like TOTBL and Antics.

A bit pricey, €44 for Dublin vs £26 for Edinburgh, fairly standard I guess.

mal1

the price is putting me off. Saw them before and I'm not really prepared to fork out 44euro.

seregrail7

€44 for a gig in The Olympia is a complete rip off. Not a chance I'm paying that.

Sútalún

Very very pricey. But I suppose it's what we've come to expect. And it's not like products where we can choose a cheaper brand or "not buy" in protest. If it's one of my favorite bands Im not going to not go in protest presuming that, on realization that I didn't show up, they'll come back and play a cheaper gig. Reckon it'll sell out fast never the less.

mal1

Both two. Girlfriend didn't look happy when i said they were too expensive, so suddenly it wasn't worth not going.

billymitchell

sold out already I think!!

glanman

keep trying. i got none kept trying and then got 4, people will cancel orders , time runs out etc... so there are scraps left over....

tomissex

Second day been added already!

I ****ing hate the way they do that, tuesday would have suited me better, but I got in quick for Monday cos I didnt know. Ticketmaster are *****.

Ah well least im going.

billymitchell

Got one for Tuesday cheers anyway.
There are a few upper circle tickets still left for Monday if you are quick

Olympia gigs are normally more expensive when anyone big-ish is playing.

glanman

i would expect a 3rd and maybe 4th gig, they not in manchester until the 3rd of december, their next gig after.

AlanMc123

I was on Ticketmaster since 10 to and kept checkin the page to see if tickets were on sale, and somehow still managed to miss out on tickets for the monday. Thank God they added the tuesday

billymitchell

Last ever gigs perhaps??

hyperbaby

I was supposed to get tickets and totally forgot about it until 5 minutes ago, jesus feather head or what??

but anyways thanks to this thread i seen that there were tickets for Tuesday so now I am sorted!!

Gadgie

Monday gig must have sold out in about 2 minutes. Chose 'best available' and got circle tickets, so went back and chose standing and they were already gone! Kept trying but couldn't get anything after that.

Got tickets for the Tuesday gig anyway.

Yeah, I was trying at 9.02 and there were none available then. Came back around 9.15 and there were a few upper circle tickets back on sale. But they all sold out again in about 2 minutes.
I think Monday is pretty sold out at this stage.

JJ

MCD have confirmed that the first show is sold out:

I'd say try toutless or adverts

Furious-Red

Third date added

Sútalún

Managed to get 2 standing tickets for the third date.. Think it's the fourth year in a row I'm going to gig on the 1st December!

Just under 50 for a ticket is madness though. I've been to sold out gigs in the Olympia for much less. Obviously there's deviants each time, just seems excessive. Ah well, I'm sure it'll be amazing; great to see them again!

LimboPanto

Standing tickets for the Monday night, soooooo psyched for this even if Carlos D is no more.

Quick question though, is the Olympia strict on ID? Cause that would be a problemo.

kennyu272

Can't wait for this gig,seen them live a few times (most recently about a month ago in Brussels) and they never dissapoint.

Beans_On

got mine in the post a few weeks back.
isn't there a way of logging on to their site and checking if the tickets have been dispatched or not?

Beans_On

yeah ..you can check your order history.
"your tickets are in the process of being printed" has been the status since i paid for them.

well I presume they have been posted now so i can call over to my old flat and collect post. thanks

kennyu272

Anybody know who is playing support for the Dublin dates?

Beans_On

Surfer Blood as far as i know.
Good band. saw them at Primavera

Roughly 9 or just after

ciantheod

Have a ticket with upper circle , going with two mates who have standing tickets , anyone know what my chances are trying to get on floor?

poundhound

No chance.
People with standing tickets enter the venue from the front doors, people with upper circle tickets enter via the entrance at the side of the venue.
You'll be seperated as soon as you enter the venue.

Keano

I have upper circle tickets and each ticket has a seat number but it says unreserved on them - does this mean it's first come, first served basis with seats?

I think it does yes, from the one time I sat at the Olympia that's how I remember it being although it does seem a little silly.

In unrelated but extremely relevant news, I am absolutely buzzing for this gig. Cannot wait till tonight!!

technogoblin

While I really, really like Interpol, I feel about tonight's gig like I do about their most recent album, it's all there, but it never really lifts off. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed tonight, but having seen them twice now, there's just something that gets in the way of me giving them a glowing review. Thoughts anyone?

With regard to Surfer Blood, I enjoyed their opening set, but I don't think they're a band to open for a band like Interpol; they're breezy, where Interpol are quite intense as a live act. The combination for me, anyway, just didn't work.
