    These tickets will be like hen's teeth. Crossing fingers for Spotify presale.

    Saw them in the TriPod back in late 2010 (after the postponement of an earlier date due to the Icelandic ashcloud), it was an excellent gig! Will definitely try and work something out in terms of tickets for this.

    Wondering why three Olympia nights instead of one 3Arena?

    Those shows were something very special.

    I don't know why people are assuming something will be announced. They've announced the European tour, they're not playing here. Why would they hold back on announcing just the Irish gig?

    3 in the Olympia is 1620 tickets x 3, which is 4,860, that's a long way off a night in the 3, which is 14,500.

    They wouldn't sell out a full 3arena and tbh the atmosphere would be crap. A few nights in the Olympia is ideal.

    I picked up my tickets to see them in Copenhagen last week. Typical eh?

    Their EP performance in 2016 was something special and will live long with me.

    The aim is to get tix to the Friday night here.

    Fantastic news to wake up to on a Monday morning.

    As many posted above me, wonder if there will be a presale, how would a Spotify presale work?

    Olympia atmosphere will be class, top venue

    Can gift cards (or e-gift cards) be used to purchase one of these tickets ?
    The standing tickets are 54.50Euro , any word on other ticket prices ?
    Thinking of gifting my son a ticket as he is a fan.

    (obviously with intention that he queues to use the gift card on Friday along with other credit card purchasers..
    so, in short - are gift cards allowed as method of payment. I've never used them before....)

    Incredible gig. Trying to explain it to people what it was like never works, had to be there.

    Presale? Heh. I remember buying my tickets a few days before the gig. And even then it was easy to walk right up to the stage with your pint in hand. Good times.

    Ok, so I am generally one to follow the rules... and I was very vigilant at the Radiohead concert, but not one person was asked to show their credit card in the queue that I was in. I had friends using other entrances and none of them were asked either. Tickets were still selling on Seatwave and on other sites for 3 times the price... My point is, this rule is not really a solution to the whole ticket touting and Seatwave controversy!

    Having said that, I really hope I manage to get tickets! Can't wait to see LCD :)

    It's a lot more likely that they'll enforce it in a smaller venue though.

    Isn't it a bit odd that this isn't up on ticketmaster yet?

    The guy behind me was checked walking in to Radiohead, he just said his brother-in-law bought a ticket & couldn't make it. That may well be true. It has to be enforced though. I'd be delighted if they went zero tolerance on these big gigs

    Olympia didn't enforce it for Paramore, despite warnings

    Are they ever going to turn someone away at a gig? In most cases the tout will already have their money so you would be just punishing a paying fan. Also there are genuine cases were people can't make it to a gig and sell for face value

    It's the only way to get rid of touts, actually turn people away. They won't buy 2nd hand tickets next time. If you can't make a gig, you resell tickets through ticketmaster at face value. It's very possible to do, just no will to do it.

    It's still money down the swanny for a genuine fan who just wants to see their favourite band.

    I don't have the best answer but that's certainly not the way to deal with it.

    I guess I mean in general for gigs here, not just this one! You have to make it pointless for people to buy tickets 2nd hand. Fewer touts means every fan has a better chance of getting a ticket

    What happens if you buy the tickets in a Ticketmaster agent and pay cash ??

    Why don't they just make it solely credit card entry ,seems alot simpler .
