Britney Spears - O2 Dublin - Oct. 24th

BigFatBass

She is playing the O2 Oct 24th and the odessey Belfast on the 25th. Can't wait. Tickets are €54.80 - €91.25! Cheaper than the circus tour which is cool. VIP packages are rumoured to be 540€!

Shes a mess, cant sing live, cant dance for ****e.

karaokeman

I used to like Britney.

I would go if I someone could guarantee me she will sing for once.

I know a girl who went to the Circus tour and she felt ripped off because the whole performance was miming.

But if you like her music, by all means go.

Tom Fiat

Yes her show is great.
Highly recommended.

Grindylow

Shes not singing live during this concert, just to add.

We're also being ripped off, for a similar price in the US, they get Britney and Nicki Minaj.

She sent a rehearsal from it onto her Twitter, it's just playback as usual.

She's also been doing promo live performances for it, all with playback, she doesn't even bother to try and make it look real.

BigFatBass

Ye although she uses playback it is still one of the greatest pop shows you can see. If you want LIVE music don't go. But if you want to be entertained by a pop superstar using fire, magic and an amazing show then there is no better place. Also I think she will do at least one song live on this tour. She usually does (except for the circus tour).

The youth of today, is there any hope? Yeah right, pay up to €91 to watch some tart mime.:eek:

There is still real music being made you know? Apologies if you are a 12 year old, at least you have a bit of an excuse.

This concert is one instance where you literally might as well stay at home and listen to the CD.

The circus down the road is a hell of a lot cheaper, tbh.

bren2001

I read a report a while back saying she was planning to actually sing. I don't believe it myself nor do I care but...

Larianne

Going by her videos, I don't think she'd even give a good performance. She's definitely lost her spark. She hardly dances in her videos any more and any dancing she does is done half heartedly.

nommm

I can't decide whether or not to buy tickets. She is one of my favorite artists ever and I need to see her at least in once before she retires but I normally refuse to pay those prices on principal. Plus she doesn't seem to have her heart in it anymore. I think I'll wait and see how the US tour goes first. Jealous of everyone who gets the VIP package.

Anyone know if the 54.80 is standing tickets price!!

BigFatBass

^Ye i reckon those prices are for the standing tickets they usually are.

This comment really annoyed me. I understand people aren't always gonna be Brit fans but this is just damn stupid. I'm not 12, I'm 20. To insult an entire generation just because they like Britney is not only stupid but also just show's you have NO idea what you are talking about. Britney puts on one hell of a show, even though not a LIVE musical show. You go to a Britney SHOW for the entertainment not for the music. She doesn't sing every song live but she does sing a few and those that she does sing are usually very good vocally. And i'm guessing this "real music" you are referring to is some sort indie music that no is too "cool" to be liked or else it would just become mainstream?

54.80 will be the seats right at the back of the O2.

Standing tickets will be around 80 euro, I'd imagine.

Btw on Britney's last tour she didn't sing a "few" songs live. She talked over Everytime because it's her easiest song to sing because all she has to do is mumble a few keys. You've got to face it, Britney's past it, she's like the modern Whitney Houston.. Except worse..

Oh you think standing will be around 80? OK ill have to get some more money together than ha! Did you go to the circus tour? She sang Everytime and the sound off at every show, and then you oughta know at some. She also sings over the backing track for other songs mainly for boys and sometimes circus and womanizer (although i do admit it was rare lol). I do get what you mean about being past it. Admittedly she wasn't her best during the circus tour but it was A LOT better than Whitney. ha!

I was, but I had free tickets.. Admittedly, she puts on a good show, but for the price you're paying for her tickets, it's just not worth it to go see her without her performing live. She has the voice, why won't she use it?

I know I agree iId LOVE if she sang, cause i know she can like. When she does she always gets good reviews but she seems to just be too nervous to sing completely live without any playback. How did you manage free tickets?

BigFatBass

Actually one other thing. Just so people know, although they don't do it as much as Britney 90% of pop show's involve lip syncing and backing tracks. Britney just uses it more than others and doesn't bother to rerecord the songs so they sound live. They literally use the CD versions ha!

I won them.

I'll consider going if I can get my hands on the 50 euro tickets, it'd be worth that for the show that'll get put on and the atmosphere..

Just letting you know fan presale has started.....
The code is fatale!!
Got my 2 standing this morning

S.M.B.

In terms of her back catalogue it's probably the ideal time to go see her imo.

Would love to but don't think I'll ever gather up to courage to go to a Britney concert on my own.

BigFatBass

OMG meet and greets are already sold out! :O Just bought 2 standing tix! eek can't wait!!!

Pythia

Got seats in front row of L. Very happy with them! Roll on 24th Oct!

I've decided I'm going to get tickets to this. Just need to find the money, I'll have to go on my own seen as noone I know will come. How much are standing tickets?

Very dear for a mime artist :rolleyes:

I went to see the Circus tour and I think it was only one song she sang live!! Now, while this was disappointing she did sing that one song quite well and it was a fantastic show, she is an amazing performer!! It was quite expensive though, I don't think I'll be going to this one, seen her once, probably no need to see her again!

Vivagora

I was going to purchase tickets as Ill be living in Dublin anyway but the cheapest tickets are sold out and Im not too keen on paying €77 for a setlist of 21/23 songs given an encore or two. Setlist isnt the best mix of her songs so think Ill wait for greatest hits tour as no doubt there will be!

I agree with comments above that she looks tired and sick of doing it but I dont blame her. Every new video focuses less and less on her dancing which used to be an integral part of her performances. Love her songs although I think its crazy to pay so much for backstage access or meet and greets.

Grindylow

Yeah I don't like the setlist at all either, definitely not going now, it's based solely upon Femme Fatale..

BigFatBass

Here is the finalized setlist:
1) Hold It Against Me
2) Up N’ Down
3) 3
4) Piece of Me
5) How I Roll
6) Big Fat Bass
7) Lace and Leather
8) If You Seek Amy
9) Gimme More
10) Drop Dead Beautiful
11) He About To Lose Me
12) Boys (Remix)
13) Don’t Let Me The Last To Know
14) Baby One More Time
15) S&M
16) Trouble For Me
17) I’m A Slave 4 U
18) Burning Up (Madonna cover)
19) I Wanna Go
20) Womanizer
21) Toxic
22) Till The World Ends

And I wouldn't be waiting for a greatest hits tour cause it will be a long time i'd say. She has never done one before yet she has had 2 greatest hits albums. I think she mainly tours to promote albums!

S.M.B.

A greatest hits tour sounds horrible to me. A retrospective Blackout tour on the other hand would be great.

Nicki Minaj will not open for Britney Spears on the European leg of the 'Femme Fatale' tour.

Spears confirmed in April that Minaj would join Nero and Jessie and the Toy Boys as support acts on her North American concerts, which kick off on June 16 in Sacramento, CA.

Minaj revealed last week that she is currently spending much of her time preparing for the opening night of the 'Femme Fatale' tour, promising fans that she will "incorporate theatre and dance" into her performances.

The 'Moment 4 Life' rapper has taken to her official Facebook page to insist that she has no plans to stay on when Spears travels to Europe in the autumn.

She wrote: "Sorry barbz (fans), contrary to the recent reports, I will NOT be supporting Britney outside of the US on this tour. (sic)"

Minaj recently revealed that she plans to launch her own headlining 'Pink Friday' tour in 2012.

Vivagora

Ah Id say she will even if I have to wait another 20 years! Just dont think its value for money to pay €77 (as that is the lowest priced tickets at the moment) to maybe hear a few songs sung live no matter how good the performance or staging is!

sisco

The show was amaing and critics even saying it was good so thats brilliant for her been a long time since people have been on her side.... she sang live and slayed with her dancing....
