Otherwise take a trip to one of the other gigs!

Yeah I'd prefer the Irish gig though, not to mention the fact that The Pixies are on the bill as well:eek::cool:

It will make a handy Crimbo present for herself, kill two birds with the one stone

First time I saw Arcade Fire they were on the same bill as The Pixies, wasn't the same way around though!

Really? I don't think it's shocking at all. Take a look at the venues in the USA that Arcade Fire are playing in 2014 and have been selling tickets for, and compare to the venues that Pixies played on their last US tour. Pixies are no longer the bigger band. Arcade Fire definitely sell more tickets these days.

I'm glad it is the Pixies on their own in Cork

I'm sure if the Pixies were that popular there would be a thread dedicated to their head-liner in The Marquee.

I'll be getting my AF tickets first thing Friday morning as I think it could sell out sharpish.

Why? They have a massive following here. It's perfect ticket sale time before Christmas. They may only end up playing this one time in Ireland next year and they're more popular than ever thanks to the release of the brilliant 'Reflektor'. I'd be surprised if it isn't sold out by lunchtime on Friday.

It's expensive, dropping without much warning at a time when people who normally don't have money have less and the week before a payday. Also the fanbase is very concentrated in the 25-40 range. They're not Prince or Bowie so people aren't going to be snapping them up for their parents.

Someone said before they'll be knee deep in their Canadian tour during the picnic. It won't be happening.

You're right, just checked their website. Pissflaps!!!
Ah well, Marley Park will have to do, even though I'd be quicker walking to Belfast than getting there and back from the northside.

I'd disagree, I'd say that Green Day/ Paramore would have a biggest fanbase here, much bigger

Well then with all respect, I don't think you're right...

Arcade Fire sold out two consecutive nights in the 02 in 2010... Paramore didn't even manage to fill the 02 this year.

There's a much bigger buzz around AF than there's been around Paramore or Green Day in years.

This will sell very, very quickly...

Who the hell are Paramore?

Terrible emo-pop band for 15yo girls and the boys that want to grope them. Hot singer.

Assuming I don't go to any of the European shows, I make this one my milestone 30th Arcade Fire gig.

:eek:

It's down as 3pm start so a couple of warmup bands I expect

How do you get the presale code? It says on the arcade fire website that you have to have bought the album before October 24th to avail of it.

Would someone please be kind enough to to tell me how to genuinely get the code.

It would be HUGELY appreciated

maximoose

You answered the question in the first line of your post. You had to have bought the album before 24th Oct from their website.

Inkyhead

So... did you buy the album before the 24th?

Anyone who pre-ordered through the official website gets pre-sale codes sent in an email before every gig on the tour, including the European warm-up gigs that were last month.

These are one-time use codes for 2 tickets on the tour. Once you use your code, it is gone. However you are not obliged to use your code and if you don't, you can use it for any other gig on the tour, even those not announced yet.

In cases where the ticket vendor is the same for multiple gigs (eg ticketmaster in Uk & Ireland), you may have the same presale code each time. However it can only be used once.

After the warm-up gigs, they reset all the codes, so now for the full tour, even if you used them previously for a warm-up, you can re-use, but again once they are used that is it.

So in summary either:

A) You ordered an album before 24th October on ArcadeFire.com and got a code - You are free to use it for any gig including Marlay Park if pre-sale allocation is still available. However once used, that's the end of it.

You ordered an album before 24th October on ArcadeFire.com and DID NOT get a code- contact Topspin media immediately with your order reference to query why you didn't get the email with the code

C) You ordered an album AFTER 24th October on ArcadeFire.com, you ordered it on an alternative website, in a shop, or not at all - you ARE NOT entitled to a pre-sale code and can no longer obtain one. In this instance you can still get tickets, you must just wait for the general sale for each gig, which for Marlay Park is 9am tomorrow.

Keep in mind that for some of the US tour dates next year, there were multiple pre-sales, so for instance Amex Credit Card holders or members of the venue in question might have had a pre-sale, in addition to the fan pre-sale for ordering the album. So while this might not be in place for Marlay, perhaps if O2 gets announced later in the year or similar, there might be venue-specific pre-sales such as O2 Priority for O2 Customers.

So for this gig if you are part of B or C above, your best chance of tickets is 9am tomorrow in general sale. I hope that clears it up!
