Hozier - Olympia Theatre Dec 4th

ciarraioch1

Hozier has announced some Irish dates with tickets on sale this Friday at 9am.

Has anyone heard anything about a presale? There is generally some form of presale on Wednesday morning, and it'd be great to have tickets purchased before the panic of Friday morning.

Interested in a presale too dont think I could take the pressure on fri they'll sell out in seconds.

viv2

Ticketmaster shows a presale on wed at 9 am. Not sure if its through his website or a fb link.

but1er

Pre sale is for people who order thru his website

Will sell out in seconds sadly wait for the o2 next year

on ticketmaster....

I think you have to have preordered the album to get a code though

Casshern88

Any idea on price for these?

viv2

Price range €20 to €25

Just one date in Dublin? These will probably be gone in the presales hope he adds more gigs, would love to see him in the Olympia.

Presale tickets go on sale at 11 Tomorrow morning if you are signed up to the mailing list through his website. Will be like the Noel Gallagher gig when he played the Olympia. Ticket will sell out in seconds.

viv2

If you bought the album on pre-release you were sent a code to get access to the presale at 9 am.

do you think he will add the night before the first date in the olympia?

Janey Mack

In the unlikely event that anyone has an unwanted presale code I'll happily put it to use.

Daughter bought the vinyl on release day from an independent record shop.
I think shops should be included in these sort of promotions it's hard enough for them to compete as it is.

Tuhula

Anyone have a code that they dont need? pretty please

lennie19ieie

Tickets meant to be on sale now for the fan club. Do you need a password to get these???

viv2

Can't get any through the link. Must be sold out.

damo80

Already sold out to fan club members

paddylonglegs

Nothing on Olympia on 3rd dec, surely second date added

Idrive

I got two seated tickets for cork on the 6th dec - phew

Larianne

I had the link ready to go at 11am.
Got 2 tix for Castlebar.

I would be pretty certain there will be more dates released! For sure! (Added more shows in UK).

mardybumbum

I'm back home in Castlebar on that day so picked up two tickets for that show. Hopefully the Royal Theatre won't disappoint.

Still going to try and pick up two tickets for the olympia show as a birthday gift for a friend of mine.

smalloran

Got tickets for Killarney, about 5 hours drive though. Olympia or Cork would have been better!

skeg16

for f*ck sake, why didn't I check if there were presale

Looks like everything is sold out...wonder what will happen tomorrow morning.

siblers

I'm guessing they just had a limited number of pre-sale tickets for each venue and that there will still be a 9am on sale tomorrow?

mystic86

just checked ticketmaster all sold out it seems!!!

FledNanders

RQ2013

Tickets for this (Olympia) were gone in seconds... Should be a great gig

siblers

I logged in at 09:00 and couldn't get any tickets were gone, must have sold out in presale

i124Q

Was online at 9am, no chance!

siblers

Everywhere went within a minute, same with cork and kerry

RQ2013

I was lucky enough to get 2 standing for Dublin... Few of us trying but no one else got them. Hopefully he puts on second night for those who missed out

Cainer

Didn't seem to be any tickets available for Dublin at all, been trying unsuccessfully since 9am. He could have easily sold out the 3Arena.

CapriSunFun

This is ridiculous! Phoning ticketmaster currently but I know I've no chance. Couldn't get any for the presale yesterday, even though I was online bang on 11am, same thing this morning. One concert in dublin in such a small venue of course was going to sell out in seconds, hopefully he'll add extra dublin dates because of demand. Arghhhhh!

Edit: if you're phoning ticketmaster, hang in there! I was waiting for ages and almost gave up hope but eventually got 2 seating tickets for Killarney! Yay! Dunno how I'll get time off work but I don't care, hozierrr!!!!!!

ciaraniaodh

I was on the presale yesterday at 11am and straight away there were no tickets.

I was on today at 9am and again straight away there were no tickets.

I hate ticketmaster, seems to be like this all the time now for popular concerts, there are never any tickets left at the time it goes on general release.

Duff

Got 2 for Kerry in the basket on Ticketmaster, went to pay and they were gone! The purpose of the timer is to stop this. Farce.

It's a pity John Bishop is in the 3Arena that night...

skeg16

If they were doing the process correctly they would only allow a small percentage of tickets for presale and then the rest for general release....Heres hoping he plays on the 3rd!

ilovetorun

No luck for me either and I was on since 9am, not a happy camper

lc180

I must have been lucky because I got 2 no problem using the ticketmaster app. I even messed up the payment and had to do it twice and still got through without issue.

There is no point in blaming ticketmaster here, there was more demand than there was supply. unfortunate but true.

Exactly. I don't know why people blame Ticketmaster when they can't get tickets. If you have 50k people looking for 1k tickets you're going to have more disappointed people than happy people. It's just the luck of the draw.

bleach94

Agree with Skeg, seems unfair that there were little to no tickets left for the general sale. Surely a limit should have been put on the number going on presale! Got two standing tickets for Cork myself so can't complain but it seems harsh on those who missed out just by virtue of not being on the official mailing list.

xzanti

Gutted isn't the word tried every ire venue since 9 very cruel

x Purple Pawprints x

Got two in the presale yesterday. Tried to get more for friends and was logged in before 9am, gone in seconds.

I feel bad for people that didn't get tickets tbh.

Two pairs for the Olympia up on eBay already... One person is looking for €300, the other is looking for €400. That kind of thing really p1sses me off. :mad:

I only signed up on the mailing list on Tuesday when I heard that tickets were going on sale in the hope that there would be a presale, there was a presale and luckily got tickets yesterday. But I do think it was pure luck.

I dont think people can blame ticketmaster, demand is always going to be higher than supply but I would love to know how many tickets actually were on sale to the general public, either through the presales and this morning. How many tickets are held up for media, competitions, other people in the entertainment industry. Wait and see, the amount of sports stars and well known people will all get their tickets. That annoys me when the genuine fans miss out. Not saying these people arent fans, they may well be, but would love to know the breakdown of distribution of tickets, for this and all other gigs

This really pushes me over the edge

HiGlo

Yeah, sold out in about 20 seconds apparently...... My friend in Ticketmaster couldn't even score me any.

Olympia is a small venue. 1,600 capacity. Say, 200-400 avail on pre sale and then the rest on general release today. Sure if just 300 people get through and buy 4 each that's the lot gone...... Nothing to do with Ticketmaster - purely supply/demand issue.

Have to say, I wouldn't be that interested to see Hozier in The Point. He'd be lost in there.

Those vultures on the internet selling for €300/400 are just disgusting. Hate that ****.
Years back it was the same story with The Script when they first started out - one night gig in The Olympia with huge demand for tickets. People were selling them for €100/150 each but I somehow found a lovely person on the internet selling them at face value and scored 2 tickets for €50.

What about the people that create the demand by buying them?

Just troll the touts

From Hozier;

Overwhelmed with the response to the Irish tour this morning. Sorry to anyone who tried but couldn't get tickets. There will be more dates next year.
For people wondering, the Irish pre-sale was for a very limited number of tickets only. The majority of tickets for all shows went on sale through Ticketmaster this morning and sold out.
