Oh my. Steel Panther. In The Academy.

How the hell do I get a code to get early tickets??

xpletiv

Something to do with official fan club which is minimum $40 a year

xpletiv

Cant for the life of me find a code.

deviladvocate

Same here, but I got them in the end.

Yes!

Site kept crashing (Flight of the Conchords I guess) was terrified of buying more than one set of tickets.
Glad it wasn't just me going through that confusion.

But yay! Should be some show

Grabbed tickets easily enough - really looking forward to this!

Picked up 4 as soon as they went on sale at 10, looks to be sold out now? Saw them in London last year, absolutely amazing show. That was in Wembley arena, seeing them somewhere about 20 times smaller will be awesome.

Can't believe they're playing such a small place. Saw The Darkness there the other week, it's one of my favourite venues. Everywhere is close to the stage. This is gonna rule.

Delighted i got up to get tickets for this:) Was thinking they might move it to the olympia due to demand but the Kooks are on that night.

Heh, I actually checked that myself too. Vicar Street is free that night though, could see it being moved there. I'd prefer the Academy but Vicar Street is a decent enough venue too.

xpletiv

Is vicar street bigger than academy??

Royale with Cheese

Considerably. I'd say it's about twice the capacity.

Wrongway1985

Vicar St mostly runs Aiken promoted acts.

Academy 850, Vicar st is 1500 with standing setup downstairs.

Midlife crisis man

Lucky sods. I was online at half 10 and couldn't get tickets for Steel Panther or Flight of the Conchords.

Half an hour later Flight of the Conchords tickets were on Seatwave for €200. Joke

Furious-Red

Yea it wont be moved to Vicar St since its an Aiken Venue and The Academy is MCD

Thanks be to Jesus for that.

850 capacity is a bit of a joke for a band that are relatively big.

Gutted I didn't get a ticket.

Relatively big acts of the genre quite often don't sell out that venue tbf albeit acts who have toured here more regularly. Seems not bothering with us for years and triggering a show has been a worthwhile exercise just like Alter Bridge selling out 4 shows this calendar year too.

Whereas Black Stone Cherry played here last with tickets like 20 quid in the Academy and you could still get tickets on the night a head scratcher.

Volbeat are another one, selling out Arena's around Europe, they've only played here once (Academy in 2011)

I had no money last week, so I'm disappointed to miss out, but with them being in high demand I'd say they'll be back here within a year or two.

Volbeat played Academy 2 also before that & Belfast a few times including supporting Metallica. Wouldn't be mad about them but not just arenas they playing stadiums even.

Furious-Red

As said that was the only venue available for MCD since the Olympia was already booked out. Plus as people said its their first gig here and it could have gone either way at least they know the next time they will be here it will be in the Olympia (again if its available).

Yea its weird for acts like Black Stone Cherry who cant even sell out The Academy although there gig in Whelans few years ago was unreal.
