This is apparently his 'free' concert he promised in Croker 6 years ago. Understandable as it wouldn't have been feasible to do a free gig for 80,000. I suppose he himself is doing it for free and it is for charity but i'm betting his management were thinking of a way he could get the whole 'free gig in Dublin' out of the way before he does a proper tour and plays Croker or Landsdowne next year. Pretty clever really although fair play to him for actually doing this one off Dublin gig. Most major acts wouldn't have bothered. It does seem bizzare to have tickets do on sale 2 weeks before the actual gig, especially in a venue as large at the O2. Will ticketmaster really get 14,000 tickets sent out that quick?

It's a ticketless event, all people wanting to go must enter a lottery, winners get to buy a ticket.
Print the ticket off, will have names on, and ID must be shown on the night or ya don't get in

People still genuinely want to see this guy?

Yep! I'm delighted when I hear of someone who doesn't, less competition for tickets haha!

Seriously though he still has a huge fan base & we've been waiting 6 years for a solo gig.

Fair enough. I went to see him in the RDS years ago and loved it. Had a poster of him on my wall too. I thought most people grew out of him over the years.

Never knew he played the RDS, and I call myself a fan! I had many a poster too.

Going by the reaction he got in Croker last year I'm sure there's still a fair few Irish fans in the background!

bren2001

I would be in America when this is on. Thats him, the view and the Ireland Oman match I will miss now.

How do you apply?

Attendance to this ticketless gig should be gold dust, but fair dues to him for announcing a one-off show I'd agree with that.

Now that I think of it, it was Lansdowne, not RDS. Sorry.

Thanks.

Applied for tickets myself, but it will be hard enough to get them if I do I will be chuffed.

Anniebell

Anyone who's an O2 customer can also enter the ballot by texting ROBBIE to 51020

Oh yeah that was a cracking gig! Can't believe that was 11 years ago now.

I've seen RW twice in Melbourne and both were amazing. Would love to see him here in Dublin now.

Anniebell

Can't remember where I saw prices but I recall €35/€45 assuming the cheaper ones are standing but not 100%

Me neither :-( although I think we're meant to get an email either way iykwim. Got a no yesterday from the O2 ballot, urgh!!

airbusa320

Nothing here yet either ?

Mushy

I haven't received one either. But it turns out I won't be able to on the night, so if I do I'll send on a code/link.

Whatsernamex33

Nothing either.

CastorTroy

Anyone know how the codes will work? Will they be assigned to a name so only that person can purchase, or will it be just a code to buy and anyone can use it? I signed up but don't know if I can go now. So if I can't I'll give the code to someone else, assuming I get one. 13 mins til deadline

mel.b

In the terms and conditions for those who entered the public ballot (not through 02) said that the name entered has to match the payment method (laser, mastcard etc) and that these must be shown to gain entry so i don't kow if you will be able to forward them on. Still hopingi will get an email!

creativedrinker

Got a email there your ticket is the card used to buy the ticket plus you need I'd to match the name, there's no tickets printed out or emailed

Actually looked again.... I signed up for O2 and got glasgow....

airbusa320

No luck

seniorolaighin

no luck either.......now for plan b - get onto record company friend and hope that works - slim chances though!

ScouseMouse

Just got the email, not successful!

Ah bollix:(

Whatsernamex33

Didn't get it myself.
The mother is still waiting on an email to see whether she got tickets or not.

karaokeman

Just got an email to say my name was pulled but one problem, I applied for Dublin but they gave me his Glasgow date (and I am not free that night). Anyone else have this problem?

bilko_con

I signed up for the O2 and got glasgow too. i emailed there (not sure if i emailed the right people!) -it went to ticketmaster customer service. i know a few people who work in ticketmaster so if I don't get any email back i might ask them tomorrow. Glad i'm not the only one who got Glasgow - i was worrying incase i'd selected the wrong venue..was sure i didnt tho!

bummer - hope they can sort it for you!

ConcertKing

Used 7 emails and not one successful. :mad::mad:

Judging by the few who are getting Glasgow instead of the Dublin concert that they went for,it could be a complete mess up which means another ballot.

That wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

Exact same thing!!

ConcertKing

All messin' aside I was at that ill fated gig where he promised the free gig and it was one of the worst concerts I've ever been too but always said I'd give him one more chance and loads swear he's amazing live.

He was miles better with Take That last year so will just have to wait for his big tour down the line.

Whatsernamex33

My mother still hasn't got an email, wondering now if the correct email address was put in. :rolleyes:

Same happened to my girlfriend and someone else in her work. Seems to be a complete mess!

linkee87

Around 10 of my family/friends registered and not 1 was successfull. Hmmmm.....

sgarvan

I know a good few that registered and all got unsuccessful emails.

Seems to be a bit all over the place to me

CastorTroy

No success here either. Ah well.
