    Yea was kinda shocked at the price i would have thought she would have been around €45/50

    Ya, fairly steep alright. I'm guessing the production will be pretty big. I brought the girlfriend to see her at Thomand Park in June 2010 and the stage show looked costly.

    I reckon this will sell very well, pretty solid base of fans here over the years and radio friendly sing along songs!!

    As above, she brings a proper stage show. She sells out every time she comes here too, last time doing something like 5 shows in North and South then a few big outdoor dates so it's a perfectly fair fee imo

    Would of been interested if tickets were €45-55 but I prob won't be doing that now, I like P!nk but I don't think she's worth that €20 extra.

    Will prob get tickets closer to the date, if not hopefully she'll play EP next year.

    I agree that tickets are steep but I'm in no doubt that the higher prices are connected to the stage show which will be travelling on the tour with her.

    Not too sure will we see her at EP. My guess would be that she won't appear there. This is how I'd rate her chances of a summer Irish gig:

    High Chance:
    Marlay Park
    Phoenix Park gig (35-45k crowd)
    Aviva Stadium

    Medium Chance:
    Tennents Vital
    EP
    RDS (played there in 2010)
    Thomand Park (played there in 2010)

    Low Chance:
    Oxegen (has played there previously)
    Punchestown Racecourse (she did her own gig there few years back)
    Marquee Cork
    Indiependence (would be a big draw for a rising festival)

    No Chance:
    Croke Park (too big and following poor sales there for RHCP this summer, Aviva is much more attractive option for promotors)

    Oh I've no doubt she brings a huge stage show, but even this is excessive. There is some amount of fleecing the customers going on here, which she wont know about. Unless production eats into amount of possible attendees.

    Gigs with Aiken Promotions always seem to be highly priced.

    Agree with most of them , i wonder if they dont do Oxegen next year and cant use Pheonix Park would they use Punchestown (as said) for the 1 day events like this year?
    No chance of her doing INDIE she would be way over their budget and with capacity only like 5-7000 she would be too big

    Can't say that for sure - we don't know how much rent is being charged by Aviva or Croke Park for concerts.

    You're correct in that we don't know what rent is being charged.

    My point really related to the fact that promotors would be happier with 50,000 people being at the Aviva stadium (sold out) rather than having 50,000 at Croke Park (over 30,000 unsold tickets).

    Looks better for the promotor and means that they won't have to splash crazy amounts of money on last minute tv, radio and newspaper adverts in order to try and shift remaining tickets (i.e RHCP in June). The advertising costs in May/June must have been huge.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,574 ✭✭✭whirlpool


    Madonna charged €96, Gaga charged €86, Cheryl Cole is charging €40.

    In relative terms, €60 is not excessive, especially considering the fact that Pink sings her entire concerts live, with in incredible voice, as well as performing acrobatics on stage. She's been doing so for ten years. She's a high-quality pop artist.

    Yes, keep an eye on her official website where she is going to announce the dates officially later today. You then get a presale code by RSVP'ing to the facebook event page for the Dublin date.

    I knew these would fly out the door - I'm a Lady Gaga woman but if any female singer is loved here it's Pink. I'm holding out on there being a second date which there must be and I hope they will take a few hours to sell and I'll nab one.

    Saw her in 2010 and went from kinda liking her to a big fan - she's excellent live.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 124 ✭✭Star10


    Crashed on me also-twice..didn't get tickets in the end...am raging!!
    Rubbish site...can't seem to cope with any traffic at all..:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86 ✭✭roryj123


    Shocked she hasn't added a second date,I didn't think it would sell out so quick,So I didn't bother waiting when they were released! Will they add a bigger venue maybe?

    There is no bigger venue . Id say they will just leave it till next summer for her outdoor shows

    Yea the outdoor venue in the RDS is about that , but the O2 is the biggest indoor venue we have ,

    She has added a fourth date in London

    Apr 12th - Dublin O2
    Apr 14th - Manchester Arena
    Apr 15th - Manchester Arena
    Apr 21st - Birmingham LG Arena
    Apr 22nd - Birmingham LG Arena
    Apr 24th - London The O2
    Apr 25th - London The O2
    Apr 27th - London The O2
    Apr 28th - London The O2 - NEW DATE

    WOW Pink is doing well and that's with little to no promotion! She might add a date on the 11th or maybe even the 13th since she has 6 days off between Manchester and Birmingham,I think the o2 is too small for most artists its a bit crazy some adding up to 5 nights at the o2


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 523 ✭✭✭carly_86


    Tis a surprise she hasn't added a second date. Maybe she don't like playing there. Just glad i got mine


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 149 ✭✭eimear10


    would love to go but not for that price !! shes amazing !!

    How has there been no second date?????
    It was one of the quickest selling concerts of the year and no extra dates?

    They will wait till around or after the gig to announce her Outdoor shows , its clever in a way so they have a better chance of the outdoor shows selling out

    Had a look around for anyone selling tickets all way over priced :@ I'm thinking they will leave it at one night so demand will be high in case she comes back on this tour again.
