Yeah, TM block them alright

I've got Singular Artists in Dublin and always just screenshot them myself for simplicity, never an issue

Does anyone know the layout of the ambassador theatre, are there assigned seats? From looking there just seems to be rows and not seat numbers.

Looking (hoping) to get 4 tickets for Rachel Galvo on either December 5/6th so be good to know if they all have to be together.

Got tickets to one of her Dec 2024 gigs at the Ambassador and it was assigned seat numbers.

does anyone here ever use cloakrooms at big venues like the point? How was it leaving? As we head into big winter coat season Im wondering whether to use them or not

Anyone got an email from Ticketmaster saying their account has been suspended with a link to https://withpersona.com/ to rectify it? Wondering what the process is

No idea what triggered it, haven't bought anything for weeks

I got the same - my possible crime buying a single ticket for the upcoming FAI Cup final. I've opened a support case with them and I'm being very courteous but damning. No way I'm giving biometric data to them or their 3rd Party ID Verification partner. Seems like a shambolic AI implementation.

It's definitely the sort of email I'd be clicking "report phishing" if it came to my work address!

I checked their FAQs and I'm sure it's legit from them, anyway. I'll probably do it tomorrow, but fair play to you for standing up to it

I was going to buy a ticket for a gig tomorrow too 🤣 (well, I was on the fence, this might settle it)

"Your [something] has been suspended, click on [random third party link]" is classic phishing, but yes Ticketmaster are thick enough to actually do that

There is no cloakroom in the point for the regular Joe.

There is a cloakroom available to 3 customers on the limited supply in the 3 lounge. As its limited easy leaving as they open the exit in that area too. If its a sold out show head in before the opening acts as you likely wont have a hope otherwise.

The link with the phone network 3 makes me wish the Point would burn down to the ground. I'm not going to change my phone network because of whatever crap they offer to their customers. I'm already paying through the f**king nose to visit the place so there is no need to make me feel like a third-class citizen.

how are you made to feel like a 3rd class citizen?

The only benefit is a very small allotment of presales whereas there is always free to obtain presales with larger allotments from promoters and artist mailing lists

We're heading to catch Black Honey playing in Whelan's Dublin on Feb 19th… Now i'm not a fan of Dublin (or cities generally) but whats the venue like?

Any recommendations for some good food in the area also? We like things off the beaten track or unusual :D

Whelan's is a wonderful venue!

Loads of food options up Camden St. Personally I'd recommend Port House Tapas if you want a proper meal, or CN dumplings or Neon if you want street food style

Ace, tapas is a good call actually, not had a good spread like that since the only place up here on the North Coast closed a few years back.
