Hey all

while it may not be everyones cup of tea the rte concert orchestra are doing a night of john williams music

there is a number of 12 euro tickets available for both nights which imo is a massive bargain for what you get

having been to there recent oscar night i can tell you its well worth the cash and the seats in the unreserved section are not bad at all

Those choir balcony seats are dreadful! I'd never sit in them again. For €12 though if you can suffer through it it's a good price. Maybe I'm just too old

@Greg

I had the same issue, kept timing out on the verification section. However, himself left his office and went to pick some up at the box office - of course he forgot to mention to them that the site was not completing sales

Anyways, thanks for linking it OP, hadn't seen this come up on social media yet Its a GREAT night out, esp if you are of a certain age to get the feels from childhood movie themes like ET, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Superman, Star Wars etc.

Greg81

@KGLady. Thx. I will give them a call.

I had an issue on the mobile version of the site not the desktop so went on that one

Happened me as well. So just called up and booked over the phone. Went for Balcony, Green Side. €22 per ticket. Looking forward to this actually. Never been to NCH.

I went to this show last year and had a great time at it.

Really spectacular hearing stuff like Jurassic Park theme and ET theme live with a full orchestra.

Hi all,
To those having problems with the website, can I ask you to include the w w w in the link listed by the OP and that should help.

I keep getting this error message 'You are attempting to release seats that have been printed. Doing so will cancel the printed tickets. You must reload the order to undelete the seat. Continue?'.

Does this mean the seat has already been sold but the website just hasn't updated?

Wait, putting in www as directed above has fixed the problem

Decided to splash out for the fancy seats.

TBH, I'd pay that much just to hear the Superman theme.

Guys this may sound like a stupid question but what is the dress code for the evening?

Suit for me and long dress for my fiance. OK or overdressed?

XxMCRxBabyxX

Likely to be fairly over dressed based on my experiences in NCH

OVer dressed. It's not your regular night at the theatre. Sure people will be dressed like that, but there is no dress code persay.

I went to this a few years back, pretty casual wear with jeans runners etc. Was a great show btw.

They had the orchestra doing Danny Elfman, and a few weeks later John Williams, it was hair raising on your neck stuff, really worth seeing.

Into The Blue

Shirt and jeans for us anyhow

Greg81

Guys. Thank you for quick reply.

Casual it is.

Oh. John Williams. Not John Williams. Would love to see John Williams again while he's still doing the odd recital. Not so fussed about John Williams.

Ah well...

JoanneT

We're fairly laid back here - we don't have a specific dresscode unless we state that an event is blacktie which isn't too often. Whatever you would wear to a gig anywhere else is probably the best advice I can give you. enjoy the gig

There was a fella in a star wars hoodie at the last John Williams:P

If you dress up as Indiana Jones you'll be grand.
Don't forget to crack your whip every 30 seconds or so to show your appreciation!

The YouTube clip on the NCH website of the E.T adventures on earth score didn't start at the beginning of the piece does anybody know do they play the full score or just the main theme? Thanks.

Greg81

Amazing concert. I am happy in 99%.

JohnMearsheimer

We a had a great night last night. ET was probably my favourite, serious childhood memories there The music from The Terminal with the clarinet solo was great too. It was our first time in the NCH. It's a great venue and we'll hopefully be back soon.

Had a great night out at John Williams. Seats were fab and the kids and ourselves loved it. Many thanks for posting.It was a real treat.
