Surprised this one hasn't been posted yet, info below.

Watch The Throne
Friday 8th June 2012
The O2, Dublin
Tickets will go on sale at 9am on Friday 24th February priced from €69.50.

Furious-Red

Thought they would have gone for an outdoor show? since both of them could easily sell out the O2 on their own . gonna give it a miss though since i hate Kanye

aka accounts 2010

Must say I'm rather impressed with the quality of this line-up, should be a great gig. Saw Kayne West in Cork not so long ago and he was top class while Jay Z at Oxegen 2010 was brilliant and really had the crowd going.

However, I am not a bit impressed with the timing of ticket sales. I fully intend on getting tickets for Snow Patrol/Florence and the Machine and Temper Trap this Friday and MCD have also put the Jay Z/Kayne tickets on sale the same day. If they had been seperated by a week, I'd get tickets for both but now I'm torn!!!

I know that in general, both gigs will attract different crowds but I am in no doubt that there is a sizeable portion who would like to go to both!!!!

If it's the same production they used in America it relies heavily on visuals so an indoor show may have been the only option.

Id pay that for just jay- z after the show he gave at oxegen and im gueasing the visuals will only be better. I loved kanyes 1st album and enjoyed the rest of his stuff, grand i know its all auto tuned etc but wouldnt mind that.

Definately have to go this and tis the friday my 2weeks holidays start in work in time for the euros, gonna be a good 'un

Is this a kind of co-headline thing or is it largely focused on the collab album?

That is... pretty damn good.

Gonna give this show a miss.

Really not into modern rap.

Jay-Z is possibly the most overrated hip hop artist there is.

Not too fond of Kanye West either.

kwestfan08

Very excited about this. Both put on a great show judging by Jay's at Glastonbury in 08 and Oxegen in 10 and Kanye at Coachella last year. It does look a great show to be fair.

Actually raging that this is on the first week of the Leaving Cert. Sounds like it'll be unreal.

Are you only doing the Leaving Cert?!?! Ah jaysus I feel old.

I'm raging that this is the weekend after Forbidden fruit and Deadmau5 the Wednesday! Something will have to give and I'm guessing Deadmau5

Is Kanye West the biggest arsehole in the music business?

I wouldn't call either "modern rap", tbh, especially not Jay-Z, who couldn't be farther from overrated.

Is that the cheapest ticket price?

MyPeopleDrankTheSoup

dayum, all standing to be sold out on presale but you can still get seating

NUTZZ

I was online at 9am this morning and the best seated tickets I could get were Block L. What's the deal with the lower tier seats, are they sold out already or do they wait unitl general sale on Friday to sell them?

there was one at 70 euro which would work out 76euro. Really don't see where they are getting the service charge now. Even more so that they tickets are sent out electronically.

http://www.ticketmaster.ie/event/18004834D9D575B0

Worked for me, got 2 standing.

edit: you need to have liked MCD facebook, http://www.facebook.com/mcd.productions, and be logged into FB or that link doesn't work.

Got an email from Ticketmaster earlier saying;

Please note that there has been a change to the seats you purchased for Watch The Throne in THE O2, DUBLIN on 08-JUN-2012

Due to unforeseen circumstances the seats your purchased are been used for production.

We have accommodated you with the best available seats.

Anyone else get this?

Theres only one price for standing tickets:

TIERED SEATING
€69.50 - €79.50

STANDING
€74.50

And then there is the VIP ticket for €266.00

+ the €6.10 booking fees.

Do you have to pay booking fee if you buy from an outlet as opposed to online?

That's a good question o_O

Found this on Independent.ie:

Ticketmaster also added that you can purchase the tickets without incurring a booking fee, either by purchasing tickets at the Ticketmaster outlet at St Stephens Green Centre in Dublin city centre or at the venue box office, in this case at O2.
So Smart Consumer reckons that if anyone is buying concert tickets and wants to avoid the booking fee, get them directly from the venue or get someone you know in Dublin to buy them at Ticketmaster's outlet for you.

Although the article was posted in 2009 so maybe times have changed..

Hey, thanks for that. Just I'll be picking up tickets this morning, better have an extra few quid with me for the service charge.

Got 2 front row of central enough 3rd tier, and randomly 2 standing tickets.
