    Going by ticketmaster the price range for the currently announced UK gigs is looking to be in the range of £64.90-£82.50, and we all know how Irish gigs are, so if a Dublin date is announced I wouldn't expect it to go out cheaply.

    I'd say next week would be a good time to announce the gig, as they will have the general sale for Rihanna out of the way (obviously it prob won't sell out but if a RW gig was announced this week it would have caused a serious crash on TM for them to both go on sale at the same time).

    I doubt Rob would sell out two Aviva's, perhaps one but that's only if the prices are better than they were for GaGa and Madonna, which they probably won't, but MCD will lose out on a lot if they don't announce this before the christmas rush. Sure just look at Coldplay last year, who had an Aviva date booked (like Robbie now), but then that had to be cancelled because MCD waited too long and the demand was gone.

    Can anyone shed anymore light on whether this is actually happening or not?! This is the weirdest non-event ever, I can't understand why there hasn't been an announcement of a date.

    Also kind of annoyed as I would've tried for a UK date if it was definite he wasn't playing here next year.

    Gutted & bewildered still!

    With 2 big gigs been announced over the last week or 2(Rihanna and Bruce) id say they will want to wait

    I keep checking this thread everyday to see if there are any updates. I bought tickets to one of his Manchester concert but I really want to see him in Dublin too. The crowd here is way better than the crowd in the UK. I was at one of his O2 gigs in November and although the concert was brilliant, the crowd were not as good as us! I'm still in shock that he didn't add an Irish date and I don't understand why concert sites have the date up for Ireland when nothing has been confirmed! Also, somebody mentioned on facebook yesterday that they read in Sunday's newspaper (probably a newspaper in Belfast), that there would be announced Tuesday or Wednesday. Nothing today so really hoping its tomorrow although I have doubts. Showbiz reporter tweeted last Thursday, "Robbie Williams Croke Park". But he didn't say anything else. He's normally right though because he announced the charity gig before Robbie William's management announced it!

    MCD have just announced Lil Wayne gig for March next year. Absolute joke!!

    I really want this gig to happen because I know not many people can afford to pay for travel and accommodation!!

    Anyway fingers crossed!

    Croke Park? I hope not. The Aviva date is already booked so what is the problem? If they are worried about demand in the Aviva then why would they hold it in Croker when the capacity is around 20K more? The Aviva would make far more sense. I was at the RHCP gig in Croker in the summer and there were less than 45K there. Really looks awful when there are thousands of seats empty.

    I just want promoters and his management to confirm the date before its too late!! I agree about the empty seats. I was at the Aviva for Madonna and there were a lot of empty seats. Really bad! I understand why his concert would be held in the Aviva but don't understand why he couldn't include it in his announcement last week!

    I really doubt there will be an Irish date next year.

    It would have been announced along with the other European dates as they always are, and I couldn't see them just announcing an Irish date on its own out of the blue.

    Would definitely make sense if it's Robbie. No way he won't play here next year.

    Well you weren't wrong!

    Anyone here have any contacts in MCD? Can you ask (a) why they think eminem will sell 80,000 tickets & Robbie wouldn't? (B) is Robbie actually playing in Ireland next year or should we buy UK tickets and (c) if he is, is the announcement gonna be this year or next??

    Thanks!

    Obviously Olly is supporting Robbie on his tour. Olly Murs was on The Ray D'Arcy Show on the Today FM on November 28th. He said at the end of the interview that he reckons that the tour will come to Ireland. So there is hope! Player: http://media.todayfm.com/podcast/69395/?uniqueID=103732 (From November 28th)

    Nothings been announced yet so dont get your hopes up. Not trying to say that dubscottie is lying or anything but I remember people last year (who said they worked in the Aviva) were told Coldplay were coming. They didn't happen.

    He isn't coming until MCD or he announces it.

    I'm trying hard not to think about it! If it is happening though, they would want to announce it really soon before we all run out of money!

    They are provisional date(s). They won't announce anything until it is set in stone although I don't think you will have to wait long before you hear something..

    I agree about Coldplay, they had a "provisional" date booked, everyone said they would do it because they love Ireland/ never skip us, but it didn't happen.

    Really its MCD's decision at the end of the day, regardless of how much Robbie loves Ireland, they have to make it based on whether they think it will sell well or not. Total crap I agree but that's just the way it is.

    I agree ColdPlay was a bit speculation, but I have seen Robbie provisionally down for those dates on paper in black and white..

    On the same bit paper last year there was only mention of "concert".. No band/group etc name, hence ColdPlay was suggested.

    His name is down on paper which means its got past the "maybe" stage in the planning..

    If its past the 'maybe' stage then there should really be an announcement soon. It's Christmas next week and have a feeling if MCD or Robbies management don't announce something between now and the new year, then it's not going to happen! Lets hope I'm wrong :)

    Christmas day just gone, it would take a brave promoter to assume the extra demand for Olly Murs could outstrip all the money they lost out on for not announcing an Irish date before today.
