The National - Olympia Dublin - 02/03/04 Dec 2010 - All discussion no tickets/swaps.

indiewindy

The Irish times on the record blog has the following today
The rumour: The National to play three nights in Dublin’s Olympia from December 2 to 4. Reckon you’ll be hearing a lot more EP acts announcing autumn/winter indoor shows in the next day or two.

It fits their schedule and the olympia is available on those days, will be a quick sell out

HAVE to get tickets for this.

Ya that's been doing the rounds without being officially confirmed for a couple of months now... Def have to get tickets!

RolandGoose

Yeah Matts been saying this for a while alright!

Great its actually happening, incredible live band!
I'm not long back from seeing them at Electric Picnic, there were really great, although the brutal sound engineer took alot away from the gig, shockingly bad!,

The times I've seen them before have been very special tho!

How quick do you reckon this is going to sell out?
Wasn't able to make it to EP so don't want to miss this!

JJ

I'd say there would be one gig intially then 2 added sooner after the 1st goes on sale. I don't think Interpol's 3 Olympia gigs have completely sold out so that might be an indicator that you'd have a good chance of getting tickets.

Good stuff! Ive been checking the National's website religiously over last while looking for updates but figured there wouldn't be announcement til after EP.

Lot of good bands coming to Dublin in December!

lordgoat

Olympia is free 2,3,4th so it looks good.

Just have to make sure i get tickets for the 3 or 4th, can't make second as Belle and Seb.

I can see this being the best week for gigs - National, Belle and Seb, Interpol and Arcade Fire. And that's just off the top of my head!

I'm going to see both Interpol and Arcade Fire and if the National do play that will indeed be 3 fantastic gigs in a week.

Beach House, Vampire Weekend/Arcade Fire, Two Door Cinema Club, Caribou, Foals, Godspeed, Villagers and now The National (almost) confirmed for Dublin shows in December.

Oh dear, Credit Card is going to get quite the hammering.

Foals?

According to McLoone they'll be about the same again I think.

30 for Circle, a bit less for Standing or Upper Circle.

(That's approx, I can't remember exactly what he quoted)

Incidentally - Paul McLoone gave away the first two tickets tonight - did anyone catch the name of the winner?

I think it was Jefferey Lebowski - unlucky dude.

Is a second date (ie friday) confirmed?

JJ

No and it probably won't be until the 1st date sells out.

Only the Saturday suits here. It would be a nice weekend of gigs!

lordgoat

sold out at 9:01?


for real?

heebusjeebus

Cant find the tickets on ticketmaster. Whats going on like. Anyone else having trouble?

JJ

I wonder if people are waiting for the 1st night to sell out to then buy tickets on the supposed Fri or Sat gigs.

X-Calibre

Standing completely sold out in 1 minute? Surely not... I really don't want to buy a seating ticket... Do I take the risk and wait for another date?

Bartel

All gone @ 9.03?

I tried to get tickets for the Thurs and was waiting at 9 and I was never offered anything on the website. My gf got 2 tickets for the Friday in town. I ****ing hate ticketmaster.

There is a Friday gig but I'm not so sure about a Saturday.

Friday isn't on offer at the moment on TM.

It's a small venue that The National are playing in, The National would sell out bigger venues just as fast. My mate was getting them in Drogheda and said there was a queue of 30 people, that's just one place in Drogheda.

ct_roy

something fishy going on here

i've been refreshing the screen since 8:55 - i didn't get a single chance to buy a ticket.

I know it's a small venue and the national have become very popular but this we're not talking about selling an audience with the pope to a bunch of happy clappers.

i wonder if they've actually gone on sale at all.

How Soon Is Now

Hate that boys and girls 3 standing tickets bought done and dusted bang on at 9 this morning me auld keep reloading the ticket page 1minute before 9 never fails

heebusjeebus

Was anyone lucky with the lottery this morning?

JJ

Ah Friday is up.

It is if you queue at ticketmaster itself, my gf and several other people I know just got them. I don't think we ever had a chance of Thursday.
