LostArt

Glad there playing if true, but the O2 is fúcking shíte as a a music venue.

As large indoor music venues go, the O2 Dublin is one of the best in Europe. Well designed, every seat has a decent view, sound is always top notch and the scale allows for all bands to big full productions with them which was always an issue!! Excellent access and facilities also!!

I prefer to go to see acts in smaller venues as it's a more personal experience but given the scale of the O2, it ticks all the boxes!

This is where I disagree strongly. I just hate large venues, no soul. May as well be at home watching them live on Youtube.

I agree that sometimes large venues can lack that special personal atmosphere that say the Olympia, Vicar Street etc can generate. Mainly due to people just buying tickets to events at the O2 for the sake of a "night out" and not for the music. They spend most of the time chatting, going to the bar/bathroom etc but in relation to the sound quality, I've never had a problem and always found it to be way above the sound quality at other similar/larger scale venues such as Wembley Arena, MEN arena or the O2 London.

That announcement is impending doom for my bank account. Think its 2 Germany dates and Dublin and then Belfast maybe!

Sitting down at a QOTSA concert is like standing up when you're takin a dump...just doesn't work.

Maybe at a Daniel O Donell concert

It's kinda like get out the popcorn and snack for a few hours with these venues. I've been to the 02, maybe 2-3 times. The sound varied from whatever view point I was sat/standing in. I don't doubt your word on Wembley or MEN. It's just that I've seen this band every time they've appeared bar Slane. And now suddenly it's Arenas.

seachto7

I have only been to the 02 once. (The old Point many times), and I found it very impersonal. I don't begrudge a band playing arenas, they deserve all they get, but I enjoy gigs in smaller venues to be honest.

Mushy

I think everyone enjoys smaller gigs, and it makes sense. No point giving out in this case, I dont think they were gonna do the Olympia again.

Gigwise have now changed their dates to Dublin 17th and Belfast 18th.

O2 presale code is ready for the morning. Really looking forward to the show.

StaticAge11

Thinking of hitting up Glasgow as well as Dublin and Belfast!

ciaranf92

Presale at 9am tomorrow for the two Irish shows.
Password is 'Clockwork'

Is this going to sell out on Friday lads, or will I be safe enough?

Standing might, I'd say you'll be alright if you want a seat.

MrStuffins

Is it Ticketmaster the pre-sale will be active on? Or the QOTSA site?

Mushy

Fairly sure they'll both be on Ticketmaster, think that's how I got the Ambassador ones!

I'd bet on standing being gone in 15 to 20 minutes at most. Be on at 9am on the dot if you want it would be my advise.

mdwexford

Are they really that popular over here?

Thought id get standing tickets fairly handy anytime Friday.

I know its smaller venues, but they always sell out nearly instantly. Even multiple nights. So standing could go quickly. Im doubtful of it though, hope to be proved wrong.

jack presley

Ticketmaster currently have presale beside every gig in Ireland and UK except the Dublin one. There is a presale for the car park though

Someone should also tell them Spain isn't in Ireland

JaMarcus Hustle

Still no sign of the presale

Edit: 9am, and the 30 Seconds to Mars presale is open but this one isnt :mad:

StaticAge11

My O2 priority code wouldn't work, so I used the Clockwork one. Stressful few minutes there. But now have 2 tickets. Other half will be beyond delighted

My O2 code would only work if I went to the Ticktmaster site via the O2 Blueroom website

weiland79

Mushy
