I reckon this will sell pretty well. It's nicely timed for the Christmas market. The loyal fans will snap up tickets when they go on sale but plenty more will be sold in the lead up to Christmas as people look for gift ideas!!

I'd say for him not selling out the O2 would be a problem.

He may have played Vicar Street last time, but his popularity has stepped up a notch since.

DoctorDre

Anyone have an O2 priority code I could use for this please?

Pure Loonamus

Anyone else having trouble getting tickets for this this morning? Been trying since 9, put waiting for 10 mins and then got an error and had to start again :mad: Now its saying its sold out.. hardly sold out the O2 that quickly..

DoctorDre

Yep been trying since 9 and nothing! :mad:

ConcertKing

Second date added!!

Saturday January 12th!!

listermint

i just cant see how the performance is going to suit the venue tbh,

DoctorDre

I just can't see how it sold out that fast

Pure Loonamus

Yeah i'm baffled at how quick they went! Was booking for 6 of us, in the end got 2 standing(rushed decision) then the second date was announced!! Finally got 6 standing so will have 2 spare for fri night if anyone is interested..

NEDDURC

I was trying on-line on ticketmaster which wasn't working so just called on the phone about 9.20 and managed to get two tickets for the Friday night then.

Zoolander900

I tried 4 times on ticketmaster at 9 and eventually got 2 for Friday at 9:20. Must have been some of the last Friday ones because it went straight through as if someone had just cancelled.

I am on the look out for 4 more for Friday. My brother was only able to get 4 for Saturday. So if anyone is willing to swap or is selling some Friday ones let me know, thanks.

Ed Sheeran has been one of the greatest breakthrough stories in recent years. His whirlwind story has seen the young artist rise from an independently released You Tube phenomenon to releasing the best-selling debut album of 2011, scooping numerous awards and
scoring a string of hit singles along the way.

TODAY Ed Sheeran has SOLD-OUT not one but TWO nights for The 02 Dublin next January.
We will be seeing you on the 11th & 12th January Ed!

rorrissey

Friend of mine is looking for a standing ticket for Saturday ... is it dodgy to buy off websites like donedeal, etc?

im officially out of touch

does he even have enough songs?

im baffled

Judging by the seating chart on Ticketmaster it's gonna be the full setup in the o2, they aren't doing Intimate Theatre or Optimum Standing. I wonder how his music is going to hold up in the place, doesn't really seem to suit, but fair play to him for selling 2 nights in the o2 and 2 nights in the Odyssey Arena.

vader65

If your up for the trip there still standing tickets for the Belfast gigs... I got Tickets :-)

Also got a great deal on a hotel on Groupon!

These two tickets are gone now.

aka accounts 2010

Lets look at this for what it really is - its amazing and strange!!

Ed Sheeran has SOLD OUT 2 nights at the O2 (14,500 seating/standing capacity), 1 night at the Odyssey Belfast (14,000 capacity) and is well on the way to selling out a second night in Belfast.

Lets assume the second Belfast gig does sell out between now and January. That means that he will have sold approx 57,000 tickets.

That's more than will have attended all the major gigs in Ireland this summer (not including Westlife at Croke Park).

More people will attend his gigs than did the Chilli Peppers at Croke Park, each of the three Phoenix Park gigs, Electric Picnic, Tennents Vital, each Marlay Park gig, Lady Gaga at the Aviva this w/e, Black Keys, Blink 182 and so on!!

All this for a man who has one album (10-12 songs). Amazing stuff!!

The O2 is a big big place and I wonder how his music will travel within the vast arena!!

Muir

He was fantastic at Electric Picnic, gutted the tickets came out so quickly & I couldn't afford to buy them. I definitely think he can handle the O2, Electric Arena was packed for him (I know it's tiny in comparison) and he's really great at getting the crowd going. Very jealous of everyone going!

Furious-Red

Glad i got to see him in Whelans last year and also did a impromtu song with Foy Vance which was kinda cool:D

Ticketmaster Ireland

Having already SOLD OUT this first two dates at The O2 Dublin, Ed Sheeran has only gone and announced a 3RD DATE on Sunday 13 January. Tickets go on sale next Friday 21 September at 09:00.

It's going to be full of women with that fringe kind of swept across their face, and wearing face paint or headbands. Enough to make me break out in a rash!

Dunno what any of you are talking about Ed Sheeran has plenty of music and it all suits big indoor places like the o2 he has several unreleased albums and one major Album. He is the Best solo performer of the last Ten years and deserves all his success..

If you are looking for a better lyricist check out Frank Turner and also tours and plays a lot . Sure he even sold out Wembley Arena without being on a Major Label or big "commercial hits" which is pretty good

Rubbish!!!! Check out John Butler solo (or with his trio). Check out Jeff Lang. Check out Dave Matthews solo. All are planets ahead of Ed Sheeran in lyrics and ability.
Christy Moore is still streets ahead of him.

But it's all subjective. What I love, you will hate, and vice versa

Europe doesn't mean UK and Ireland. Germany is a bigger music market than the UK....

Cosmicfox

I'm not surprised he's sold out so well.

I wouldn't consider myself a fan at all and only really like about one song, but at electric picnic he was brilliant. I was expecting him to just come out and stand there with his guitar and that I'd be bored to tears since my cousin had dragged me along but he interacted really well with the crowd (which was massive) and got everyone going. One of the best acts the whole weekend.

Tempted to go again since he was so livebut I've just got my sister and her mates a ticket. Still havn't gor round to buying the album though.

Who's supporting?

matildajane

Hi, how strict are the 02 with the U16 accompanied rule? I am due to accompany 4 teenage (14 year old) girls on Friday night - seated area. However my daughter thinks I will cramp her style! I cant get anyone else to go with them and they would prefer another friend if possible. I am afraid to chance it as they wouldnt pass for 16 under any kind of close scrutiny! Would they be likely to be turned away?

Passenger announced as support

Ok quick few words about tonights gig .Amazed that he played that good with just a guitar and a loop machine.He blew the roof off the O2 and the crown lapped it up.Bit scary at the front and the manager of the O2 had to come on stage to threaten to cancell the gig unless people moved back before he came on stage
He came on at 9.00 and finished at 10.45

It was like Beatlemania with all the screaming.

discodiva92

Sounds serious the pushing at it?
Was it a young crowd

princemuzzy

he was that good i remembered him been excellent at Electric Picnic and thought maybe my alcohol influenced state was clouding my memory due to the fact that im not a huge fan but he was class again sat night (only had 2 drinks so i can be sure)

great performer the sound he gets from a guitar and a loop pedal is to be admired on its own great vocals too he pleasantly surprised me again

enjoyed Passenger too

Only downside was the crowd as some1 said the screaming was unbearable at times esp considering the crowd want as young as i expected it to be
